Lo último de Depeche Mode

Es legal bajarse en MP3 el último single de Depeche Mode: Precious. Suave, algo menos sofisticado que las cosas que hacían antes. Los sintentizadores envuelven, matizan, más que llevarte al galope: son una transparencia, una textura. Me suena a una calle vacía perdida de Malasaña, al atardecer, tiene el regusto urbano, decadente. Es lo pequeño en lo grande. En la distancia, en el recuerdo, la canción me hace visualizar Madrid, rincones de Madrid, mientras la voz de David Gahan me acaricia por la nuca con ondulación de cuero.

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
