Birdy "Young Heart" (2021) "Portraits" (2023)

Me sorprendió que esta cantautora inglesa, que a pesar de su juventud ya lleva algunos discos publicados,  no dispusiera de topic propio.

Ahora, con ocasión de la publicación de un nuevo trabajo, llega el momento adecuado,



It’s getting hard to hide this tainted lullaby
I’m talking in my sleep
The sky is falling down, it’s getting closer now
It’s getting hard to breathe
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long I’ve waited for it to break-eak
Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re here again
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
And I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams
My mind has been so dark with no way to break out
And nowhere to be still
It’s time to cut these ties and watch our shadows fly
Let the dark flood in
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long I’ve waited for it to break-eak
Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re here again
And I was missing the dark but now you’re near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
I’m not afraid to be alone
To feel space, to know you’re gone
To lose control if nothing more
To feel the burn

Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re near again
And I was missing the dark but now you’re near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
And I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams…

Defendiendo en solitario el mismo tema, con gran solvencia....

Bueno, bueno........he encontrado esta interpretación del mismo tema en un programa de TV.......me ha encantado............y no puedo evitar registrarla aquí, la musicalidad del tema y su intrepretación me parece fascinante....

Previo a este temazo Loneliness, hubo un primer adelanto, esta maravillosa Surrender, que pondría sin dudarlo al nivel de las homónimas de Ballard  y Springsteen.....



Strange this wilderness inside
The heart drifts from hot to cold
You think it can't make up its mind
But suddenly it's always known
Suddenly it's always known

And if I could reach the Northern lights
Maybe then I'd understand it all
Sometimes I try so hard to fight
When all I want to do is fall
Into the night
Into your arms, surrender
Ooh, ooh

Delays is on the district line
Lookin' at pictures on my phone
And I said I didn't miss you but I lied, hmm
I told myself I'd let you go
Told myself I'd let you go

And if I could reach the Northern lights
Maybe then I'd understand it all
Sometimes I try so hard to fight
When all I want to do is fall
Into the night
Into your arms, surrеnder
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Surrender
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Surrеnder
Ooh-ooh, ooh

And if I could reach the Northern lights
Maybe then I'd understand it all
Sometimes I try so hard to fight
When all I want to do is fall
Into the night
Into your arms, surrender

Into the night
Into your arms, surrender
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

No tuvo hace un tiempo una canción que pegó por aquí bastante por sonar en una serie?

Lo investigaré porque lo desconozco.....

Admito que mi conocimiento de esta artista es reciente, se limita por el momento a este disco, todavía no he indagado en el pasado...

Es momento de actualizar el hilo, puesto que han ido apareciendo más videos oficiales del  disco, un tanto naif para mi gusto, pero que sirven para enmarcar los temas...

Seguro que como mínimo en vuestra vida, una relación se os ha ido al traste temporal o definitivamente, por culpa de una habladuría o un rumor falso que llegó a los oidos de vuestra pareja....de eso va el tema...



I'm a book of mistakes
And it's just getting worse
Every new one I make
Is a rumour you heard

'Cause these days I'm self-destructive the way I love
I push away every chance 'cause it's never enough, my love

You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
Don't throw it all away
On second hand news

'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you

No, don't throw it all away on
Second hand news

Been a broken machine
Since the day you've been gone
On a loop in a dream
Did you think I'd move on?

You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
But don't throw it all away
On second hand news

'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you

I'd leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true

No, don't throw it all away on
Second hand news

Crying silent tears in the next-door room
'Cause everybody's here but you
So I wrote you out this message
But I stopped myself from sending it off

If I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you

Leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true

No, don't throw it all away on
Second hand news

No, don't throw it all away on
Second hand news

Los discos anteriores me flipan. Éste es un poco pausado y calmado. Está bien pero no me gusta tsnto, aunque hay temazos como Surrender

No conozco todavía los anteriores, pero con este me pasa algo curioso.......al escucharlo del tirón se me hace muy largo y en ocasiones hasta monótono............pero escuchando los temas aisladamente me gustan mucho más....

Ostras, seguro que este era el tema al que hacía referencia Daeshu, porque he abierto el video en YouTube, y el primer comentario que aparece es

if you found this song without watching Vampire Diaries you're a legend.

Esta sería la serie que decía Daeshu.......

Joder, 129 millones de visualizaciones en YouTube............ frente al millón que obtienen sus videos actualmente.....

El tema me suena haberlo escuchado en su momento, sin saber quien lo interpretaba. La impresión que me da es que aconsejaron a Birdy convertirse en cantante más poppy, y este video es la muestra, cuando a ella lo que le va es la introspección, la  melancolía, la timidez.......que es a lo que ha vuelto en el último disco.....

Daeshu escribió:No tuvo hace un tiempo una canción que pegó por aquí bastante por sonar en una serie?

Fantasma de Cuervo nos la ha descubierto...

La canción que da titulo a su disco actual, una prueba más de esa vuelta a la pausa, a tiempos más lentos que decía Cuervo, aquí hasta me suena hasta soul blanco
............y vuelta también al low-cost y el homemade en los videos.....

Ritmo más pausado.......pero el encanto sigue por las nubes....



I have to say goodbye for now
It doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore
I'm still a young heart
There's so much I don't know and I'm changing
And it's been on my mind some time
I found a way to never let it show
But it was too hard
I'm just a young heart, it's time that I let go
And you are my light and I'm so lonely
But I know that I must go
Lost in the night but it's only a moment
Pray that you'll find your way home
Ohh, oh no
Goodbye my love, no crying
Let's not leave each other like this
'Cause even though our hearts are breaking
And through everything that's changing
I'll keep on loving you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you
Oh, I'll keep on loving you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you
Oh, I'll keep on loving you
Remember in the early days
And all the time we had to hide our love away
I was still a young heart
It was so easy for me to fall for you
And though I still need you now
Baby, I won't hold you down
You are my light and I'm so lonely
But I know that I must go
Lost in the night but it's only a moment
Pray that you'll find your way home
Ohh, oh no
Goodbye my love, no crying
Let's not leave each other like this
'Cause even though our hearts are breaking
And through everything that's changing
I'll keep on loving you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you
Oh, I'll keep on loving you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you
Told myself I was fine
I could keep holding on
Oh-oh, woo
Oh, I've tried but there's nowhere to hide anymore
I can't stay where we are
I won't stay where we are
Goodbye my love, no crying
Let's not leave each other like this
'Cause even though our hearts are breaking
And through everything that's changing
I'll keep on loving you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you
Oh, I'll keep on loving you
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Loving you
Oh, I'll keep on loving you
Oh, I'll keep on loving you

Decía bien en el post inicial del hilo que no conocía absolutamente nada del background de esta joven cantautora, pero, dado que su álbum actual me había llamado la atención, abría hilo para irlo dedicando a esos nuevos temas, siguiendo más o menos el ritmo de publicación de nuevos videos oficiales.

Sin embargo, primero Daeshu y después Fantasma de Cuervo desvelaron algún apunte del pasado de Birdy, y mi sorpresa al rescatar el tema Wings fue que ya había escuchado de sobras ese tema en el pasado, sin saber quien era su creadora.

Ahora, gracias a la parrilla de YouTube, descubro otro de esos temas que escuché como anónimos........y era cantado por una Birdy quinceañera en su debut, un álbum de covers.....

175 millones de reproducciones  

Es que Birdy lo petó a lo gigante. Sobre todo al versionar a Bon Iver:

Encontré este video alternativo del tema de Bon Iver....

Al final del video, aparece el anuncio de su primer álbum.......y es de hace 10 años.

Quiere decir que lanzó el primero....¡a los 14 o 15 años!

Pues su notoriedad, medida en visualizaciones en youtube, parece haber ido a la baja..

Retomando el último álbum, tras Loleliness, Surreder, Second Hand News y Young Heart, el quinto video oficial publicado ha sido The Otherside



El disco me está ganando mucho, sobretodo si no lo hago de tirón, sino tema a tema....

Autumn days, the doors you face
They're never gone, you never cry
But if your bridge ever falls, if it does
If it does, I'll catch you babe, I will

Autumn fires that blaze and burn
The shadow days, the red, the brown
They let you fall, they let you down
Let you down, that's the way I am

Before they're gone
You know they won't stay long

We could be weightless
Like birds in the night
Wherever we go
Set the world on fire
We could be the darkness
Breaking across the sky
If I lose you on the border line
I'll see you on the other side

Autumn days, the doors you face
They're never gone, you never cry
But if your bridge ever falls, if it does
If it does, I'll catch you babe, I will

Autumn fires that blaze and burn
The shadow days, the red, the brown
They let you fall, they let you down
Let you down, that's the way I am

Before they're gone
You know they won't stay long

We could be weightless
Like birds in the night
Wherever we go
Set the world on fire
We could be the darkness
Breaking across the sky
And if I lose you on the border line
I'll see you on the other side

On the other side
On the other side
The other side

We could be weightless
Like birds in the night
Wherever we go
Set the world on fire

We could be weightless
Like birds in the night
Wherever we go
Set the world on fire
We could be the darkness
Breaking across the sky
And if I lose you on the border line
I'll see you on the other side

On the other side

Autumn days, the doors you face
They're never gone, you never cry
But if your bridge ever falls, if it does
If it does, I'll catch you babe, I will 🤍

Difícil ponerse al día debido al ritmo de publicación de los videos oficiales, ahora llega el sexto con Little Blue.... cambiando su tradicional piano por la guitarra......

Y repitiendo la misma sensación....todos los temas del disco ganan al ser escuchados en solitario, y no es porque no exista homogeneidad musical entre ellos, que la hay, sino que el tono general melancólico intimista puede inducir cierta sensación letárgica en caso de audición continuada...



Little blue finds me again
Creeps over my heart
Like a shadow on the hills
Little blue, you have me again
Breathless in the dark
Like trodden daffodils

Little blue
Reminds me of the love I had that's gone
Little blue
In you is where those memories live on
Don't leave too soon
Please keep me close to you
Little blue

There are softer days
With no trace of thunder storms
Just a quiet afterglow
And you're never far away
Still see the summer dawn
Kiss you peaceful on your pillow

Little blue
Reminds me of the love I had that's gone
Little blue
In you is where those memories live on
Don't leave too soon
Please keep me close to you
Little blue

And I hope you don't let go
I hope you don't let go
And I hope you don't let go
I hope you don't let go

Little blue sits deep in me
A painted souvenir
Tainted through the years

Nobody knows my love
Nobody knows my love
In the gods, we hide away
Nobody ever looks up
Like the heavy summer heats
I don't see past my love
He wakes me quietly
With a kiss that lingers like evergreen
We drift so sweet
With his eyes, he speaks to me silently
Nobody knows my love
Nobody knows but us
There's a world out there
That would keep us apart
Let's stay here where
We're safe in the dark
Nobody knows my love
For how long we've been this way
And ever if it rains, my love
Oh, there'll be hurricanes
And rivers will come rushing through the gates
But love, it will land somewhere
Love that we'll have somewhere
To let all of our currents, mmm
There's a world out there
That would keep us apart
Let's stay here where
We're safe in the dark
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Nobody knows my love
Nobody knows but us

Descubro que la gira europea ha sido recientemente aplazada hasta 2023....

Del disco de 2021 se me había pasado colgar el video de la deliciosa Voyager, precisamente el tema que está interpretando en segundo lugar en esta gira europea que pasa por Madrid el lunes y Barna el martes...



Watching satellites, lying in the grass
I know our days are numbered
But you don't know that I feel like that
You don't hear solitude, calling me away
And the hardest part is part of me wants to stay

I won't wait for you, I'm already gone
Like moonlight leaves with the dawn
I won't wait for you, the night's too long
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on

Clouds move like paint
Changing in the sky
If the wind is on my side
I might leave tonight
I hate to disappoint you, but I've always been this way
And I know you need me here, but I know that I won't stay

No, I won't wait for you, I'm already gone
Like moonlight leaves with the dawn
I won't wait for you, the night's too long
I'm a voyager, and I voyagе on
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

No, I won't wait for you, I'm already gonе
Like moonlight leaves with the dawn
I won't wait for you, the night's too long
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Madrid cae rendida ante la magia de Birdy

https://myipop.net/madrid-cae-rendida-ante-la-magia-de-birdy/

Muy recientemente ha salido un adelanto de su próximo trabajo, el tema se llama Raincatchers....me recuerda a algún tema antiguo de Florence + The Machine....y con ese tema ha abierto sus conciertos de la actual gira europea....



Birdy shared in the live chat for the premiere of the Raincatchers music video that the song is about “losing your inner child and finding her again”

Its director, Max McLachlan, also mentioned that Birdy “wanted a music video that would shed the dainty image of her as a naive child, but address the years of youth lost having to play grown-up in the industry”

Baring my soul to you
And here comes the rain again
Once the weight of the world was a feather
Sweet innocence

There is a dusty room
Kept for a friend
Threw the windows to the world wide open
When will I see you again?

We used to be raincatchers
And we couldn't see what we were running from
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters

Here in my dreams we're raincatchers
Come back to me like it was before
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

If we let this run
Caught on a river
Everything that we left unspoken
Will never be said
And you forgot (Miss you always)
But I remembered (I remembered)

We used to be raincatchers
And we couldn't see what we were running from
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters

Here in my dreams we're raincatchers
Come back to me like it was before
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

If I called out
Would you listen?
The shaking ground
Do you feel it? (Do you feel it?)
If I called out (If I called out)
Would you listen? (Would you listen?)
Shaking ground (If I called out)
Would you feel it?
Far away I'll remember (I'll remember)

We used to be raincatchers
And we couldn't see what we were running from
And you made me feel like
Nothing really matters (Nothing really matters)

Where have you been, raincatcher?
Come back to me like it was before
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

Es imposible resistirse a la versión acústica de este tema, y de cualquiera de Birdy.....

El segundo sencillo de adelanto, Heartbreaker, sorprende con un video "con historia", poco habitual de su parte, y musicalmente sigue fielmente el cambio que supuso su antecesor, con respecto al acústico y bucólico Young Heart...

Los ecos de Florence + The Machine se hacen presente desde las primeras notas....



Como casi siempre, las mejores interpretaciones sobre el mensaje del tema se encuentran en los comentarios en youtube...

"To me this song is about a fake relationship, where someone puts in so much energy, but it remains unanswered or unsatisfying and the lack of equal investment is driving the relationship to the edge. At the end she puts in so much energy that it breaks her and she ends the relationship. She doesn't communicate anymore with the creature, so it feels like she disappeared to him."

Al igual que Raincatchers, Heartbreaker ya ha sido interpretado en la gira europea de primavera, de hecho este video está grabado pocos dias antes de su actuación en Barcelona...



[Intro]
(Ayy-oh, ayy-oh)
(Ayy-oh, ayy-oh)
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Feel like I've been reading you wrong
And we've tilted from where we started
If someone's gonna let go, it's me that's gotta let go
I'm damned if I do, gonna be damned if I don't, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh

[Chorus]
You say one more dance and I always give in
(I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing)
I'm falling in your arms trying to save everything
(I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing)
Heartbreaker (It was over right from the start)
Heartbreaker (And nothing's ever gonna be enough)
Heartbreaker (I wanted you to be, but you'rе not)

[Post-Chorus]
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Been too long, too long holding on
To this blindfold, hoping and praying
We both know the truth is we'rе already losing
Damned if I do, gonna be damned if I don't, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, oh

[Chorus]
You say one more dance and I always give in
(I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing)
I'm falling in your arms trying to save everything
(I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing)
Heartbreaker (It was over right from the start)
Heartbreaker (And nothing's ever gonna be enough)
Heartbreaker (I wanted you to be, but you're not)

[Outro]
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
(Illusions only last for so long)
Heartbreaker
(I wanted you to be, but you're not, but you're not)
Ah-ah, ah-ah

Parece que con el anterior video Birdy se pulió todo el exiguo presupuesto y no ha tenido más remedio que hacer un video low cost para el tercer adelanto del álbum, llamado Paradise Calling....

Toda la austeridad del video contrasta con la gran exuberancia del tema, un trallazo electro pop como no se ha escuchado este año...

Si la versión electro-pop es un bombazo, la versión stripped no le anda a la zaga en cuanto a encanto.....

A la fecha, para mi una de las dos canciones del año....




Riding high
When I was your star, mm
Lightning strike
Right at the heart, mm

Paradise calling
All I ever wanted
Something to believe in, oh-oh
Something to believe in, oh-oh
Both eyes wide open
So high, still falling
If you could only feel, oh-oh
If you could only feel

Our love
Our love

Light us up
Open the door, oh, oh, oh

We could find a way out the dark
This could be the spark
And you don't know the ways of the heart
This could be start

Paradise calling
All I ever wanted
Something to believe in, oh-oh
Something to believe in, oh-oh
Both eyes wide open
So high, still falling
If you could only feel, oh-oh
If you could only feel
Our love

We could find the way out the dark, the dark
You don't know the ways of the heart, the heart
We could find the way out the dark, the dark
You don't know the ways of the heart, this could be the start

Paradise calling
All I ever wanted
Something to believe in, oh-oh
Something to believe in, oh-oh
Both eyes wide open
So high, still falling
If you could only feel, oh-oh
If you could only feel

Our love
Our love
Our love
Our love

La cuenta atrás llega mañana a su final...

Una pedazo de artista que encima, al menos en este país, no hay que compartir con la hipsterada.

https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/albums/birdy-portraits-most-emotive-explorative-album-to-date

Birdy's Portraits is her most emotive, explorative album to date

Bursting onto the scene by releasing cover versions as if they were made for her, Birdy has become a staple name in folksy, stripped-back loving households.
The Birdy we’ve all become accustomed to has a knack for releasing heartstring-tugging cuts that thrive with lush, crooning vocals and her latest record sees her step into pop-tinged world filled with liberating and emotive cuts. Her back-catalogue boasts five exquisitely produced records, including 2011’s breakout Birdy. Ranging from movie-worthy numbers (“Not About Angels”), delicate vocalisations (“Deep End”), exuberant covers (“Skinny Love”) and emotion-driven contemplations (“Keeping Your Head Up”), Birdy’s decade in the industry has explored all the corners of introspective, delicate musicianship. Her latest delve into sonic stylings comes in the form of the eleven track record Portraits.

Album opener “Paradise Calling” reintroduces us to the world of Birdy. Opening with incredibly high-energy electronic notes, the track is a delightful taster of the rest of the record as Birdy declares “All I ever wanted was something to believe.” The sophomore track, “Raincatchers,” unveils itself with a striking orchestral movement that perfectly introduces Birdy’s lush vocals. This cut sees the artist move away from the usual atmosphere of melancholy to deliver a more upbeat, energetic number that delves into alt-pop sounds and offers up a narrative filled with poetic lyrics. Swaying in the same sonic vein as Kate Bush – overriding pop tones dominate the track with a swirling, colourful soundscape.

Where “Raincatchers” offers up joyful instrumentals, “Your Arms” juxtaposes with delicate piano notes and soothing vocals from the leading lady. This track harks back to earlier releases and wouldn’t find itself amiss amongst the beauty and delicacy of Fire Within.

Following on, “Heartbreakers” offers up the same heartache felt veined throughout the previous track, but with the addition of echoing, vocalisations, and soaring synth-laden elements. More poppy and preppy “Heartbreakers” is an exuberant ode to letting go (“If someone’s gonna let go / It’s me that’s gotta let go), and as the title suggests, coming to terms with the end of a relationship and the heartbreak that ensues (“Heartbreaker / It was over right from the start”). Here is where Birdy’s artistry and knack for narratives shines through, as, despite the conflict between the lyrics and musical substance of the cut, the track still makes sonic sense with glimmering slivers of optimism.

“I Wish I Was a Shooting Star” takes its place as the most ballad-esque number on the record. Almost acapella, barely audible electronics swirl, percussive beats slowly introduce themselves as Birdy prays for an escape (“I’m dying to get out of here / I wish I was a shooting star”). This track is seemingly where the album takes a u-turn and reverts back to Birdy’s older sounds, steering away from the upbeat melodies the album initially introduced.

Sister tracks “Ruins I” and “Ruins II” are best experienced when played sequentially, rather than being wrapped around the middle section of the record. Soothing with hints of experimentalism, the cuts sit in the same vein as a handful of Lorde numbers as Birdy delves deeper into the world of soft pop.

Closing the record is “Tears Don’t Fall” that rounds of this album’s swirling journey with thrumming percussion, almost-hidden piano keys and Birdy’s crooning vocals. Simply her most confident and exploratory project to date, Portraits is an exemplary display of Birdy’s prowess as both a musician, and a songwriter. Her move away from covers to original stylings was a bold and impressive move from Birdy, and it’s more than paid off.

Party de presentación de Portraits....hace apenas una semana.....
