“EMPTY”, DE RAY LAMONTAGNE, ESTÁ NA TRILHA SONORA DE “CROSSED”

Ally Condie já havia divulgado a trilha sonora que ela imaginou para “Destino”, composta por diversas músicas que a inspiraram enquanto ela escrevia o livro. Recentemente, ela divulgou algumas das primeiras faixas de “Crossed”. A continuação da aventura de Cassia, Ky e Xander só será lançada em novembro nos EUA, mas as músicas despertam a imaginação e ajudam a sentir um gostinho do que vem por aí.

Quando perguntaram para Ally sobre a playlist de “Crossed”, a primeira canção que ela respondeu foi “Empty”, de Ray LaMontagne. Confira a música e a letra abaixo.

Empty – Ray LaMontagne

She lifts her skirt up to her knees,

walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing.I never learned to count my blessings,I choose instead to dwell in my disasters.I walk on down the hill,through grass, grown tall and brownand still its hard somehow to let go of my pain.On past the busted back of that old and rusted Cadillacthat sinks into this field, collecting rain.Will I always feel this way?So empty, so estranged.

And of these cut-throat busted sunsets,

these cold and damp white morningsI have grown weary.If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lipsI spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?Lay your blouse across the chair,let fall the flowers from from your hairand kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.Outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,to me it sounds like they’re applauding us the the quiet love we’ve made.Will I always feel this way?So empty, so estranged.

Well I looked my demons in the eyes,

laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.You see, I’ve been to hell and back so many times,I must admit you kind of bore me."There’s a lot of things that can kill a man,there’s a lot of ways to die,listen, some already did that walked beside me.There’s a lot of things I don’t understand,why so many people lie.Its the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me.Will I always feel this way?So empty, so estranged.
