Chill in The Air

Recientemente, Amos Lee, que este año ya ha cumplido los 36 años, y va madurando como persona y como músico, ha publicado su quinto album de estudio. El pasado  8 de octubre ha aparecido en el mercado el nuevo album  Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song que contiene una coleccion excelente de canciones del cantautor.

Este album representa la continuidad con lo que nos ofreció en el album anterior Mission Bell. Magníficas canciones, con letras quizás más profundas y pegadizas. Tambien hay que resaltar la colaboración de sus invitados, especialmente la de Patty Griffin que ha resultado ser un complemento fantástico para Amos Lee. Esperemos que vuelvan a repetir en el futuro.

Al tratarse de un trabajo tan reciente todavía no existen videoclip de las canciones, pero he podido encontrar en YouTube un video de la canción Chill in The Air, que publico en este post para que vayais saboreando el nuevo trabajo.

Chill in The Air

Well the morning came like a freight train,
 bearing down on me from a thousand miles a way.
Well it came and gone and kept rolling on,
 laying up all night with tear stained sheet as my veil.

I don't want to see you again, I don't want to feel your breath
As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
And I don't  want the keys to our door, I don't live there anymore
And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams we've dreamt

Well the morning came with the pouring rain, 
and I felt just as empty as a pail.
With the evidence and your crime confessed,
 it don't seem right that it's me that spent nights in jail.

I don't want to see you again, I don't want to feel your breath
As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
And I don't want the keys to our door, cause I don't live there anymore
And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams I've dreamt

If you feel a chill in the air, it's my spirit hanging somewhere
And if you ever get scared, look on the bright side you've got a new life

Now the evening's come, and I'm all alone
And I can't tell if silence is my foe or my friend
Well I'm holding on, but I ain't too strong
I've gotta get some rest before that train come back around the bend

I don't want to see you again, I don't want to feel your breath
As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
And I don't want the keys to our door, I don't live there anymore
And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams we've dreamt….
Dreams we've dreamt
