My body is magnified,
in the sun, set me alight.
My body, in your delights.
Burn me up, set me light.
I can't deny, your desire,
feel like I'm on fire...
When you touch me,
I feel the flame picking at my feet.
Can you feel the heat on my skin,
can you feel all my loving?
You and me, we're standing on the sun...!
Can you feel my heart burning,
can you feel all my good loving?
You and me, we're standing on the sun...!
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the...
Let's get to the hugging and kissing.
Don't know the floor from the ceiling,
when you get up in the kitchen nobody hotter than you.
Know that I twerk it,
and give you some of that worth it.
Work it for daddy that's perfect,
this Yonce only for you.
Look at the ocean, can't you see it?
Mixed up passions with fruit sangria.
BB Cubana, ay, qué lindo.
Ya tú sabes, camino como cocino, primo.
There's only one thing on my mind,
I want to love you long time.
Want you to watch me while I whine,
want you to love me long time.
We just having such a good time,
over and over, we whine.
With the flame lit and I can kiss you,
while the sun kisses me.
Can you feel the heat on my skin,
can you feel all my loving?
You and me, we're standing on the sun...!
Can you feel my heart burning,
can you feel all my good loving?
You and me, we're standing on the sun...!
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the...
The body turn let me say turn up, turn up.
Girl, you walk like the sun so you turn up, turn up.
Girl your body turn let me say turn up, turn up.
Girl, you walk like the sun, so you turn up, Beyonc, ya.
Whine for me...
Can you feel the heat on my skin,
can you feel all my loving?
You and me, we're standing on the sun...!
Can you feel my heart burning,
can you feel all my good loving?
You and me, we're standing on the sun...!
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the sun...
We're standing on the...
¡Una vez transcurrido un año tras aquella campaña publicitaria de H&M que se prolongó durante el pasado verano del 2013, en la que pudimos escuchar un fragmento de una nueva canción de Beyoncé (que después esta interpretaría en su gira "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour"), "Standing On The Sun", finalmente hace dos días se ha filtrado en su totalidad en la red!
Dicho anuncio, en el que la artista luce espectacularmente sensual, nos permitió por estas fechas del pasado 2013 escuchar casi un minuto y medio de un tema que, hasta entonces, pensábamos que sería incluido en el nuevo trabajo de Queen B. Sin embargo, aconteció el lanzamiento del mismo y descubrimos que no fue así: y, para mí, se trata de un total error. Porque, a pesar de que "Grown Woman" es de mi agrado, considero que esta es considerablemente superior y, perfectamente, pudo haberla sustituido a modo de Bonus Track.
El Snippet que pudimos escuchar en un primer momento de "Standing On The Sun" no podía entusiasmarme más, y deseaba que el tema viese la luz completo cuanto antes. Incluso meses antes de que tomase lugar esta filtración, en concreto el verano pasado, vio la luz un Remix oficial del mismo, "SOS Reggae Mix". Ahora que puedo disfrutar de ella al completo, no puedo hacer más que recomendaros su escucha: sus encantadores ritmos tribales, su instrumental de aires paradisíacos y el dulce tono de voz de Beyoncé dan lugar a un tema sumamente ideal para la época veraniega. ¡La intervención del rap tampoco me disgusta! Aquí lo tenéis: ¿qué os parece?
Mama said: "you're a pretty girl.
What's in your head, it doesn't matter.
Brush your hair, fix your teeth,
what you wear is all that matters".
Just another stage, pageant the pain away.
This time I'm gonna take the crown,
without falling down, down, down.
Pretty hurts,
we shine the light on whatever's worse.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
Pretty hurts,
shine the light on whatever's worse,
tryin' fix something but you can't fix what you can't see.
It's the soul that needs the surgery.
Blonde hair, flat chest.
TV says, "Bigger is better".
South beach, sugar free.
Vogue says, "Thinner is better".
Just another stage, pageant the pain away.
This time I'm gonna take the crown,
without falling down, down, down.
Pretty hurts,
shine the light on whatever's worse.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
shine the light on whatever's worse,
tryin' fix something but you can't fix what you can't see.
It's the soul that needs the surgery.
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away,
the pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body.
It's the soul, it's the sould that needs surgery.
It's my soul that needs surgery.
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far,
and you break when the fake facades leave you in the dark.
You're left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful past.
Pretty hurts,
shine the light on whatever's worse, pretty hurts.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
Pretty hurts,
shine the light on whatever's worse,
tryin' fix something but you can't fix what you can't see.
It's the soul that needs the surgery.
When you're alone all by yourself,
pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
And you're liying in your bed,
pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
Reflection stares right into you,
pretty hurs, pretty hurts.
Are you happy with yourself?
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
You stripped away the masquerade,
pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
The illusion has been shed,
pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
Are you happy with yourself?
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts.
Are you happy with yourself?
Pretty hurt, pretty hurts.
Yes...
Por otro lado, tras la publicación de "Partition" como segundo single para las radios Urbanas y R&B de EEUU (tal y como lo fue también "Drunk In Love", doble primer sencillo, compartido con "XO", que fue el primer corte promocional mundial), ¡finalmente ya conocemos el segundo tema extraído de "BEYONCÉ", quinto álbum de estudio de la artista, que ejercerá la función de segundo single mundial!
La pista escogida será, nada más y nada menos, que la primera canción que nos encontramos en el más reciente trabajo de la Reina del R&B: "Pretty Hurts". Una poderosa y desgarradora Balada que, si es promocionada como es debido, puede convertirse en todo un éxito. La vocalidad extremadamente frágil de Bee es un punto a favor en esta pieza que transmite muchísima sensibilidad. Y es que vivimos en un mundo extremadamente superficial, y el dolor que sienten, en concreto, las personas que viven de su imagen física, tiene que ser horroroso. Como bien canta la artista en el tema, "es el alma la que necesita cirugía".
El videoclip, ya disponible en el canal oficial de VEVO de Beyoncé desde hace cuatro días, muestra la cara visual de esta dura realidad y, dejadme deciros, no tiene desperdicio alguno. ¡Pinchad aquí para adquirir "Pretty Hurts" en iTunes por la módica cantidad de 1,29€! ¡Espero que os guste!
