The Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words

Grup de Nova York, de cançons de títols llargs, però curta durada. Cançons senzilles però boniques. La paraula clau és bonic. Per un dia de sol, per a estar tranquil.

The Magnetic Fields van començar el 1991 i l'Stephin Merrit n'és el culpable. Actualment l'acompanyen: Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol i John Woo.


Toquen tota mena d'instruments poc convencionals: ukelele, banjo, acordeó, violonce, mandolina, piano, flauta, xilòfon, instruments de percussió. El fet d'utilitzar també sintetitzadors els fa entrar dins l'ampli grup del synthpop.

La cançó a destacar és All My Little Words, de l'àlbum 69 Love Songs del 1999.

Lletra:

"You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay
You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But I could never make you stay

Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
Not if I could write for you
The sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I'll do
Not for all my little words

Now that you've made me want to die
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
And I could make you pay and pay
But I could never make you stay"
