First Aid Kit | My Silver Lining (stream) + Nové album Stay Gold v červnu!

Švédské sesterské folkové duo First Aid Kit oznámilo vydání nové desky Stay Gold na 2. červen u Columbia Records. Pokusí se tak navázat na svůj debut z roku 2012 Lion's Roar, které zaznamenalo velký úspěch jak u posluchaču tak i u kritiky. Album produkoval Mike Mogis, který spolupracuje s Bright Eyes a též se podílel jako producent na debutu Lion's Roar. Na novince zazní Omaha Symphony Orchestra a o aranže se postará skladatel Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes, Broken Bells, Rilo Kiley).
Naštěstí nám sestry Johanna a Klara Söderberg umožní zkrátit čekání na novou desku do června poslechem čestvého singlu My Silver Lining. Jak se dalo předpokládat tak jde o krásnou, náladou takřka optimistickou, přesto v textech hloubavou folk-country písničku, která pokračuje v započaté linii debutu. Vyznávají se ze svých obav, pocitů viny a pochybnostech o sobě samých, přesto v závěru nachází trochu světla a optimismu. "I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon | 
Having no idea who or what or where I am | Something good comes with the bad | A song's never just sad | There's hope, there's a silver lining" Tomu pomáhají táhlé smyčce v pozadí a především jakoby koňmi poháněné kytary se zvonivým zpěvem sester. Celé to znamená jediné, že nová skladba My Silver Lining je vážně dobrá a pravděpodobně v příštích týdnech a měsících bude nejen u mě ve vysoké rotaci. Holky zkrátka umí :) A můžeme jen doufat, že k tomuto singlu časem přihodí i další podobně příjemnou skladbu.

I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
There’s no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road
Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong
I try to keep on keeping on
Yeah I just keep on keeping on

I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road

I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
Having no idea who or what or where I am
Something good comes with the bad
A song's never just sad
There's hope, there's a silver lining 
Show me my silver lining
Show me my silver lining

I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road

I won't take the easy road
The easy road, the easy road

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
