cosa rara
lyrics by lucrecia dalt & david sylvian
Spanish
lucrecia
un día bien
un puma negro
el calor va desgarrando el suelo
a ciento cincuenta
van rebasando el ritmo del deseo
a su lado va
un prometeo
en un pacto fino en méxico
y lo que te encuentras...
en pedacitos todo el conspirar
cuarto seis
ojos rolando van
alterando el rato (our own rapture)
suerte vil
adoración total (oh!)
cosa rara hoy
después del fin
respiro urgente
una luz blanca por todo el desierto (pregunta)
¿tienes fuego? (gotta light?)
le dice desgarrando su pensar
cuarto mil
ojos de plata y sal (your silver, silver eyes)
alterando el tacto
suerte vil
evaporándose
cosa rara hoy
¡crash!
david
we are out of favour
a danger to ourselves
it's not amphetamines, it's something else
my body's smeared in bloody red
she said she loved me
but i don't trust her yet
i’m not quite lucid, i'm far from clean
i’m plummeting slowly, doused in dopamine
the walls are thin, my nerves are shot
i’m vulnerable and i know it
is that door locked?
English
A good day
A black puma
The heat is tearing up the ground
At one hundred and fifty
They're overtaking the rhythm of desire Besides her
A Prometheus
In a fine pact out in Mexico
And what is found: bits and pieces of their conspiring
Room 6
Eyes rolling
Altering time (our own rapture)
Vile luck
Total adoration
A strange thing nowadays
After the end
Urgent respite
A white light illuminates the whole desert Gotta a light?
He says while tearing up her thoughts apart
Room 1000
silver eyes
salt eyes
Altering touch
Vile luck
Evaporating
A strange thing nowadays
we are out of favour
a danger to ourselves
it's not amphetamines, it's something else
my body's smeared in bloody red
she said she loved me
but i don't trust her yet
i’m not quite lucid, i'm far from clean
i’m plummeting slowly, doused in dopamine
the walls are thin, my nerves are shot
i’m vulnerable and i know it
is that door locked?
A prolific and limitless musician, performer, composer, and sound artist, Lucrecia Dalt challenges both genre and form, pulling apart familiar elements of pop and experimental music and reassembling them in unexpected ways.
Breaking through to a wider audience with her acclaimed 2022 album ¡Ay!, Dalt has also made a name as a composer for film and TV, including her original, acclaimed scores for HBO’s series The Baby, Cannes 2024 feature film winner On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, and the forthcoming psychological horror The Rabbit Trap.
With “cosa rara,” her new single featuring mixing, production, and a rare appearance by cult music legend David Sylvian, the subject of one's self becomes an unlikely infatuation. Distilling the highs of love, and sonically translating with production precision and hyper focused clarity, “cosa rara” is a bold return for Dalt, inviting listeners on a thrilling escapade of sound and psychology.
