En su album The Soft Bulletin,los Flaming Lips tuvieron a bien dedicarle una canción a Superman —no es uno de sus grandes hits,pero igual es un trabajo impecable de melodía y una letra que narra una historia completa,como suele ser el estilo de los Flaming Lips.
Ahora,añadámosle a la mezcla a The Brooke,cuya gracia es ser simple y sencillamente una chica con su guitarra acústica,y cuyo hobby es tocar covers y subir los videos a YouTube.Pero en esa simplicidad,hay de por medio talento de sobra para hacer música desgarradoramente evocadora.Su versión de Waiting For a Superman es prueba de ello.Si les gusta la rola,pues está disponible —junto con su repertorio completo— en descarga gratis via Last.FM.
Y pues a'i nomás,va la letra:
I asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But then I realized
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgotten
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgotten
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
