The drums: Hay tanta literatura en el rock...

...más que en muchas grandes obras. Eso es lo fascinante, que en unas pocas palabras, más allá de la melodía que la acompaña, puedas decir tanto. The drums es un ejemplo de ello, en su disco debut deja algunas canciones memorables. De todas ellas, me impacta Best friend.

You are my best friend and then you died, when I was twenty-three and you were twenty-five. You are my best friend and then you died, and How will I survive, survive, survive, survive? And everyday I waited for you, and everyday on the top of your car.

I had a dream of you. You were drifting away. You were sailing in the ocean just drifting away. And I know you´re gonna be ok, cuz I can see it in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, and I know I´m gonna survive, survive, survive, survive.
