Recuperada ya de aquella malaria, Cheryl Cole ha vuelto en plena forma y después de lograr uno de los números 1 más rápidos del Reino Unido con Promise This, primer single de su nuevo disco, ya ha estrenado otro titulado The Flood.
A pesar de que Messy Little Raindrops, su segundo disco en solitario sin Girls Aloud, esté formado mayoritariamente por temas bailables, la británica ha escogido como segundo extracto un tema mucho más pausado.
Dirigido por Sophie Muller, quien ya firmó el de Promise This, el videoclip vendría a ser un muestrario de escenas solitarias de reflexión y melancólicas.
Así vemos a Cheryl sentada mirando a través de una ventana, tumbada en la cama o paseando por una playa en invierno.
Por el momento, el conjunto no es que me entusiasme, pero se adivina un hit en potencia.
Turn the lights out, in the light house,I saw you coming,Felt the ship wreckSaw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,Wondering where you were washed up,Or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,I can put my hands down in it,But I won’t bring nothing up,Sitting at the shore all day, waiting on the tide to comeBut you can’t hold on to water,It fills you up but never stays,It’s only good to wash away,Today and your loving me like water,You’re slipping through my fingers touch,Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,The flood,Love me like a flood, the flood,Bring it on,Stay the night out, by the beach house,It’s oh so quiet,Lit a candle,By the window, so you might find it,Hope you know you’ll always have a place to call your home,Still I can’t help but think I could have saved you from drowning,Ohhh, oh,I can put my hands down in it, yeah,But I won’t bring nothing up,Sitting on the shore all dayJust waiting on the tide to come,But you can’t hold on to water,It fills you up but never stays,It’s only good to wash away,Today and your loving me like water,You’re slipping through my fingers touch,Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,The flood,Love me like a flood, the flood,Bring it on,I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,Went to take a dive in the deep end,Oh, what was I thinking?But you can’t hold on to water,It fills you up but never stays,It’s only good to wash away,Today and your loving me like water,You’re slipping through my fingers touch,Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,The flood,Love me like a flood, the flood,Bring it on,Ohohohoh OhohohohRising and falling in my dreams,Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean, (the ocean, the ocean)Vía
