first day of my life

Bueno, hace poco que comencé a escuchar Brigth Eyes, una banda formanda por Conor Oberst (el Dylan postmoderno), como guitarrista y cantautor, Mike Mogis, multiinstrumentista y productor, y una serie de colaboradores de Nebraska principalmente. La canción que queria mostrarles es "First Day Of My Life" y lo que mas me llama la atención es su minimalismo, con una letra que a simple vista parece sencilla y una melodia bien melancólica. Parece fácil hacer canciones.



Letra:

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
