Sam Tsui / Kurt Schneider (I de III)

Como ya sabréis si seguís este irregular blog, últimamente estoy descubriendo nuevos músicos a través de YouTube.

Recientemente, y gracias a dos vídeos de Nick Pitera, he empezado a apreciar ese toque extra que supone trasladar el overdubbing al vídeo musical. Es decir, vídeos musicales en los que un cantante interpreta varias voces de un tema, tanto en la pista de audio como en la de vídeo.

Hay muchos ejemplos de este estilo de hacer videoblogs musicales, pero hoy me voy a centrar en el dúo integrado por el (multi)vocalista Sam Tsui y el compositor/arreglista/multiinstrumentista Kurt Schneider.

No me voy a extender más, cosa que más de un@ agradecerá.

Que los disfrutéis.

Besucos

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball that's just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams.
