Portishead: Glory Box (CD:Dummy)

Portishead lleva el nombre de la ciudad natal del teclista Geoff Barrow, cofundador junto a Beth Gibbons en 1991 de este grupo enigmático. Geof Barrow antes de formar este grupo lo hizo en Massive Attack y con Tricky.

Beth Gibbons aporta a esta canción, una vez más, su voz rota, dramática creando una atmósfera extraordinaria.

No dejéis de ver el video Portishead in Roseland NYC, en 1997 interpretando Glory Box, grabado un día lluvioso y frío. Beth, pitillo en mano sujetando el micrófono… está fantástica.

Glory Box

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just...

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

[INSTRUMENTAL]

So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look from outside when you can
Show a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
It's all I wanna be is all woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever

It's time to move over...
