En plena promoción del nuevo disco, los Stones liberan un sorprendente tema de siete minutos junto a Lady Gaga y Stevie Wonder
The Rolling Stones (Feat. Lady Gaga & Stevie Wonder) – Sweet Sounds Of Heaven (Visualiser Oficial)
Luego de «Angry«, el segundo adelanto de Hackney Diamonds, el nuevo disco de la legendaria banda londinense es la poderosa balada «Sweet Sounds of Heaven«, siete minutos y veinte segundos en los que Mick Jagger comparte el rol vocal con una sensacional Lady Gaga, mientras Stevie Wonder tiene un rol protagónico en el piano, con la sección de metales aportando el componente soul.
La batería de Steve Jordan suena gruesa, con un sonido diferente pero no tan distante al de Charlie Watts, mientras que las guitarras de Keith Richards y Ronnie Wood construyen una potente muralla sonora sobre la que las voces se lucen en una especie de contrapunteo góspel.
Letra
I hear the sweet, sweet sounds of Heaven
Fallin’ down, fallin’ down to this earth
I hear the sweet, sweetest sounds of Heaven
Driftin’ down, driftin’ down to this earth
Bless the Father, bless the Son, hear the sound of the drums
As it echoes through the valley and it bursts, yeah
Let no woman or child go hungry tonight
Please, protect us from the pain and the hurt, yeah
I smell the sweet scents (sweet)
Sweet scents of Heaven (Heaven)
Tumblin’ down (tumblin’ down)
Tumblin’ down to the earth (oh)
I hear the sweet sounds (sweet sounds)
The sweet sounds of children (ooh, the sweet sounds)
And they’re praisin’ (praisin’)
The land of their birth (no)
No, I’m not, not goin’ to Hell in some dusty motel
And I’m not, not goin’ down in the dirt (yes, yes, yes)
I’m gonna laugh (I’m gonna laugh)
I’m gonna cry (I’m gonna cry)
Eat the bread, drink the wine
‘Cause I’m finally, finally quenchin’ my thirst, yeah
You can’t have a light without a little shadow, yeah
Always need a target for your bow and arrow
I want to be drenched in the rain
Of your heavenly love, oh, yeah, come on
Let the music (let the music) play loud (play loud)
Let it burst (let it burst) through the clouds (through the clouds)
And we all feel the heat of the Sun, yeah
Yeah, let us sing
Let us shout (let us shout)
Let us all stand up proud
Let the old still believe that they’re young, yeah
Sweet, sweet sound
Sounds so sweet (oh, so sweet)
Sounds so sweet (so sweet)
Heaven, Heaven down (fallin’ down)
Fallin’ down to this earth, yeah
I hear the sweet sounds of Heaven
Play me somethin’, Stevie
I smell the sweet, sweet scents of Heaven
Comin’ down (comin’ down), comin’ down (comin’ down)
To the earth (from the earth)
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah)
Oh, yeah (oh, yeah, yeah)
Yes, come on (ooh)
Come on (come on, ooh)
Come on (come on, ooh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hear the gods laughin’ from above (of Heaven)
Fallin’ down, fallin’ down
(To this earth, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let me lay down and sleep
Oh, oh, Heaven (Heaven)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
