"Whiskey lullaby" (By Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss)

Navegando por los fotologs de la gente a veces se encuentran ciertas recomendaciones de las que, si tiens ganas, haces caso, y en este caso así ha sido, llevándome la grata sorpresa de descubrir un par de grandes cantantes de la música country estadounidense, un poco olvidada por el público europeo debido a su relativamente poca comercialidad fuera de sus fronteras.

Brad Paisley es un cantautor nacido en West Virginia en EEUU y ganador de un premio Grammy. Ya ha grabado cinco álbumes de estudio en los que hace gala de su estilo propio, definido como un cruce entre el country más tradicional y las tendencias pop-rock actuales, modernizando ligeramente el género folk. Suele ser habitual encontrar en sus canciones ciertas referencias a la cultura pop, así como toques de ironía y humor, visibles en algunos videoclips como el de I'm gonna miss her.

Os dejo aquí con un temazo en el que ambos han colaborado y con su videoclip, en el que cabe destacar su realización y emotividad. Me ha alegrado el día en cierta manera :D

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

1st Chorus
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

(Sing lullaby)

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

2nd Chorus
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
