The Cars es una banda inolvidable, con un legado lleno de canciones pegadizas y melodías que jamás se confundirán. Además, tienen letras que capturan la ironía, sueños absurods y la profundiad de una época de la vida moderna, así como del amor y la incertidumbre que llega antes o después. Más allá de sus vibrantes riffs, los norteamericanos tenían una habilidad especial para plasmar emociones en frases memorables, y acá recopilamos algunas de nuestras predilectas:
1. It’s so easy to blow up your problems. It’s so easy to play up your breakdown. It’s so easy to fly through a window. It’s so easy to fool with the sound.
Moving In Stereo/ The Cars LP/ 1978
2. Different ways to see you through, all the same in the end. Peculiar star, that’s who you are.
Candy‑O/ Candy‑O LP/ 1979
3. I dream frequently, sometimes they come out funny, ha. I live with absurdity, it’s always warm and runny.
Misfit Kid/ Panorama LP/ 1980
4. I’m not the one that you’ll be breakin’ in. And I’m not the one that you’ll be takin’ in.
I’m Not The One/ Shake It Up LP/ 1981
5. You might think it’s hysterical, but I know when you’re weak. You think you’re in the movies, and everything’s so deep.
You Might Think/ Heartbeat City LP/ 1984
6. Who’s gonna pay attention to your dreams? And who’s gonna plug their ears when you scream?
Drive/ Heartbeat City LP/ 1984
7. Too many heartaches waiting to strike. Too many clowns saying everything’s alright.
Sad Song/ Move Like This LP/ 2011
