PORTISHEAD - THE RIP

Desde Roseland NY Live, Portishead se tomó 10 años para publicar un nuevo disco. Finalmente, en 2008 se editó Third, album en el que la banda sorprendió renovando su sonido. En ese disco es que encontramos The Rip, una canción apasible y a la vez desesperada, que conjuga con éxito la calidez de una guitarra clásica y la voz de Beth Gibbons con la artificialidad de sintetizadores y cajas de ritmo. Sin más, venga esta versión en vivo, ejecutada en el programa Later... with Jools Holland:




Portishead - The Rip
As she walks in the room,
Scented and tall,
Hesitating once more.
And as I take on myself,
And the bitterness I felt,
Realise that love lost, while

White horses,
They will take me away,
And the tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?

Through the glory of life,
I'm scattered on the floor,
Disappointed and sore.
And in my thoughts I have bled,
For the riddles I've been fed,
Another lie moves over, while

White horses,
They will take me away,
And the tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?

While, white horses,
They will take me away,
And the tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
