Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys son una banda de indie rock procedente de High Green, un barrio de Sheffield, Inglaterra. Sus primeros dos sencillos, "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" y "When The Sun Goes Down", fueron directos al número 1 de la lista de singles del Reino Unido, y el álbum de debut de la banda, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, tiene el record como el álbum de debut más vendido en sus primeras semanas en el Reino Unido, superando al Definitely Maybe, disco de debut de los legendarios Oasis. La banda ganó el premio "Best New Act" en los "Brit Awards" de 2006, y crearon historia en los premios de NME de 2006 al convertirse en la primera banda en ganar el premio a la "Mejor Nueva Banda" y "Mejor Banda Británica" en el mismo año. El segundo álbum de la banda, Favourite Worst Nightmare, vio la luz el lunes 23 de abril de 2007, precedido por el single anticipo Brianstorm, el 16 de ese mismo mes. Las raíces de la banda en el norte de Inglaterra a menudo se destaca como elemento clave del estilo del grupo, y han sido etiquetados como los Libertines del norte, mientras su sonido único y sus letras irónicas - a menudo con crítica social - se han comparado a las de The Jam y The Streets. La banda está formada por Alex Turner (voz y guitarra), Jamie Cook (guitarra rítmica), Matt Helders (batería y coros) y Nick O'Malley (bajista); este último incorporado a la banda en junio de 2006 tras el abandono de Andy Nicholson.

Letra de Old Yellow Bricks
Old yellow bricks, love's a risk
Quite the little escapologist
Love's so miffed when you wish
For a thousand places better than this

You are the fugitive, but you don't know what you're running from
You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini, look, you don't know what you're running away from

Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

She was enraged by the way
That the emperors were trapped in the cage
And the days she deemed dull
Leading to nights reading beer bottles

You're such a fugitive, but you don't know what you're running from
You can't kid us, and you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini, look, you don't know what you're running away from

Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

You're at a loss, just because
It wasn't all that you thought it was
You are the fugitive, but you don't know what you're running away from

She said, "I want to sleep in a city that never wakes up
And revel in nostalgia"
"I know", I said, "He wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up, But...
Dorothy was right, though."
