David Byrne, utopicamente

[David Byrne]
Depois de termos visto e escutado Everybody's Coming To My House, aí está o álbum que o integra: American Utopia, uma viagem tão desencantada quanto dançada de David Byrne pelas convulsões do nosso tempo. Brian Eno, Daniel Lopatin e Sampha são alguns dos companheiros desta contagiante deambulação que, em última instância, se quer tocada pela hipótese da alegria. Uma alegria de serena prospecção filosófica, adequadamente condensada no título final do alinhamento — o título é esclarecedor: Here.

Here is a region of abundant details
Here is a region that is seldom used
Here is a region that continues living
Even when the other sections are removed

Put your hand out of your pocket
Wipe the sweat off of your brow
Now it feels like a bad connection
No more information now

As it passes through your neurons
Like a whisper in the dark
Raise your eyes to the one who loves you
It is safe right where you are

Here is an area of great confusion
Here is a section that's extremely precise
Here is an area that needs attention
Here is a connection with the opposite side

Here is many sounds for your brain to comprehend
Here the sound is organised into things that make some sense
Here there is something we call hallucination
Is it the truth or merely a description?
