"My mistakes were made for you" (The Last Shadow Puppets)

"Tan sutil como un terremoto, lo sé, mis errores los hice por tí". Quizás la letra no sea buena al traducirse al español, pero cambia si es en inglés. "My mistakes were made for you" es una de las canciones que grabarían The Last Shadow Puppets en su disco "The Age of The Understatement". Este grupo, es un dúo integrado por Alex Turner (vocalista de Arctic Monkeys) y Miles Kane (ex-vocalista de The Rascals).

"My mistakes were made for you" es una canción mucho más "tranquila", por así decirlo, con un ritmo más lento que el que tienen otras canciones escritas por Alex Turner. Más íntimo, diría. La combinación de guitarra y violín, así como del resto de instrumentos, me parece bastante acertada. Tampoco se queda atrás la voz.

Como curiosidad, la chica que aparece en el videoclip (Alexa Chung) es la novia de Turner.

About as subtle as an earthquake, I know,
my mistakes were made for you.

And in the back room of a bad dream, she came,
and whisked me away, enthused.

And it's solid as a rock rolling down a hill,
The fact is that it probably will hit something,
On the hazardous terrain.

And we're just following the flock, round
And in-between, before we smash to smithereens
Like they were, and we scramble from the blame
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth,
She couldn't help, but spit 'em out
Innocence and arrogance intwined
In the filthiest of minds

Shes was bitten on her birthday, and now
A face in the crowd, she's not
And I suspect that now, forever the shape
She came to escape, is forgot,
And it’s a lot to ask her not to sting and give
Her less than everything,
Around your crooked conscience she will wind.

And we're just following the flock, round
And in-between, before we smash to smithereens
Like they were, and we scramble from the blame
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth,
She couldn't help, but spit 'em out
Around your crooked conscience she will wind

And it’s a lot to ask her not to sting and give
Her less than everything,
Innocence and arrogance intwined
