‘The high road’. Joss Stone. Vídeo, letra e información.

Joss Stone, con tan solo 25 años, presenta ya una densa trayectoria y evolución musical, y es que publicó su primer álbum con tan solo 16 años; hoy, 9 años después, se reconoce fan de los grandes del soul de los 60 y 70 como Otis Reading, James Brown o Marvin Gaye pero, sobre todo, de Aretha Franklin; de ella fue el primer disco que tuvo en propiedad, tras pedirlo como regalo de navidad al ver unos videos de la cantante americana en televisión y quedarse absolutamente enganchada de su voz y su música.

Su último álbum ‘Soul Sessions Vol 2′ encierra toda una declaración de intenciones y soul, pues salta sobre sus trabajos anteriores, en los que, sin abandonar el soul, coquetea con el reagge, el blues, el rock y el pop, para enlazar con el primero que se componía de versiones de clásicos del soul. The high road es el último single de éste su último álbum hasta la fecha.

We’re bound to wait all night
She’s bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow
To each his own
The garden needs sorting out
She curls her lips on the bow
And I don’t know if I’m dead or not
To anyone
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads
To analyze
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
‘Cause they know and so do I
«The high road is hard to find»
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
The dawn to end all nights
That’s all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own
A soldier is bailing out
He curled his lips around the barrel

And I don’t know if the dead can talk 
To anyone
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us
Come on and get your overdose
Collected at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head
In your head, in your head
‘Cause they know and so do I
«The high road is hard to find»
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
Tell all of your friends goodbye
Tell ‘em goodbye
Tell ‘em goodbye
Tell ‘em, tell ‘em
It’s too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It’s too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It’s too late, too late, baby
To go and change your mind right now
Too late to change your mind
Too late to change your mind
