La canción que hoy os pongo es de uno de mis grupos preferidos de entre mis preferidos. Es decir, para mí, unos de los grandes. El grupo Within Temptation, con su vocalista Sharon Den Adel, han cosechado un gran éxito dentro del estilo gótico. En mi opinión, la cantante es la principal causa de dicho éxito, pues su timbre es muy dulce, usa mucho los agudos suavemente, pero a la vez es capaz de desgarrar ligeramente la voz. Creo que las canciones del grupo están perfectamente hechas a su medida, especialmente las baladas, en las cuales la cantante consigue demostrar su gran talento en canciones de carácter más íntimo. Es un grupo al cual le debo mucho, porque sus canciones me animan muchísimo, al igual que están llenas de tristeza por el contenido de las letras.

La canción de hoy es running up that hill, un cover del grupo Placebo, pero es una versión totalmente diferente de la original. Llevada a su terreno, Sharon nos demuestra una faceta distinta de su voz, que no me convence tanto como en las canciones propias del grupo, pero que aun así me parece que es digna de aparecer en este blog. Dejo lugar a las opiniones.

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
