RigaMusicaAnalise #265 Bastille "Pompeii"

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show


And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above


But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?


We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose is the dust settled around us


And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above


But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?


Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?


And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above


But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?


Curiosidades : o vídeo foi gravado em Los Angeles e  a historia tem a ver com a celebre erupção do Vesúvio que dizimou a cidade de Pompeia


Analise geral: antes demais estamos a falar de uma banda que tem um nome nasceu do facto de o vocalista fazer anos no mesmo dia em que se comemora a tomada das Bastilha em França, e o baterista é adepto do Sporting.


a história do vídeo parece estranha, mas ao ler a sinopse percebe-se a  parte que eles queriam realçar : sempre que ele encontra alguém foge porque as pessoas não têm olhos e ele foge com medo que lhe aconteça o mesmo.......o que acaba por acontecer no fim do vídeo


na próxima semana
