Hoy volvi a escuchar luego de ¿tres? ¿cuatro? años el Facts of Life de Black Box Recorder y me doy cuenta que su formula y concepto sigue perfectamente fresco y original. Pop minimalista y super básico con una cantante delicada con letras muchas veces durísimas sobre la vida cotidiana, la sociedad postmoderna, relaciones perturbadoras y disfuncionales, la infancia, etc. Idea buena en papel que es ejecutada con total perfección. A veces llegan a una gélidez bastante preocupante - pero es parte del concepto global de la banda.

"Weekend" que me parece que es un muy buen ejemplo/punto de partida de su música. He aqui la letra, y más abajo pueden descargarla. Enjoy.

Laying on the floor, with my best friend
Late at night, early morning
Careful not to touch, we've drunk enough
Just another weekend falling

Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning

Take your bank account, was it worth it?
We spent so much on conversation
Nevermind the cost, there's nothing lost
We live to fight another day

Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning

Weeknights just drag on forever
(Ever, ever and ever)
Maybe this weekend
Maybe never

(Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning
Friday night, Saturday morning)

Drive out of the city on a Friday
Keep you guessing where we're going
We can rent a room, or get two singles
Keep it safe, we've got no plans

Saturday night, Sunday morning
Saturday night, Sunday morning
Saturday night, Sunday morning
Saturday night, Sunday morning
