#NO_PROMISES // #ノープロミシズ： via Jpn_Fb

固定概念で迫られても困る。 分かり合えないことは問題なんかじゃないけど、合わないことに無理を強いられることや不毛な勘違いは人の気持ちを自然と遠のかせる。

だから約束を守ることも破ることもしない。（感情論ではね。）

大事な人たちに失望されてしまうことを恐れてしまうことを歌った楽曲。

私がこのサンファーミンというバロックポップバンドをデビュー前後の時期にボストンのバークリーのヴェニューでのライヴで出会って以來こよなく愛しているのは、彼らは音楽的かつスタンス的なバランスにとても長けた歴史を重んじる現代的なバンドだから。Educatedなのにインディーとしての実験性もありクラシカルでもあり、メンバーの流動性もうまくて音楽的でありアーティスティックで、それでいて何よりこの時代の（この国の）音楽ビジネスの中で泳ぐのにとても柔軟だから。

（Btw, てか、最近アイス溶けるの早すぎない？笑）

San Fermin - "No Promises" (Lyric Vid)

off their latest/third LP "Belong"

https://youtu.be/Uagz0Xi-sMA

#Lyrics:  

    Hey honey     Are you giving up     Hey honey     You look a little tired now

    Wasn't very long ago     We were wolfing down America     Living in the undergrowth     And buzzing in the night

    [Chorus]     On and on and round and round we circle     Up and down we're floating on the tide

    I won't promise you if you follow me around     I won't let you down, I won't let you down     Been wandering who's to say if we'll be found     No promises     No promises

    Hey honey     I know it's been a while     Hey honey     I wouldn't blame you if you turned around

    [Chorus]     On and on and round and round we circle     Up and down we're floating on the tide     I won't promise you if you follow me around     I won't let you down, I won't let you down     Been wandering who's to say if we'll be found     No promises     No promises

    Pack your bags     Leave your home     Drive all night     Do it for me

    Change your clothes     Hold your coats     Cut your ties     Do it for me

    Wet your lips     Dry your tears     Drink your doubts     Do it for me

    Waste your youth     Count your years     Lose yourself     Do it for me

    [Chorus 2x]     I won't promise you if you follow me around     I won't let you down, I won't let you down     Been wandering who's to say if we'll be found     No promises     No promises

>What have the artists said about the song? （この曲についてアーティストは何と語っているのか？）

SAN FERMIN （サンファーミン）:

“‘No Promises’ was the last song I wrote for this record, and it’s addressed directly to my bandmates,” says bandleader Ellis-Ludwig Leone about the track. “We’ve spent the past few years together; I just realized how much of their lives they’ve devoted to being in this band. It’s overwhelming to think about. The verses are about how touring can go from this exciting thing to feeling like you’re quite literally going in circles. The bridge is a rapid-fire list of things they’ve been required to do: early flights, all-night drives, maintaining long-distance relationships, etc. But really the song is about the fear of disappointing the people you love.”
