The Temper Trap – Everybody Leaves In The End

Album

The Temper Trap is the second studio album by the Australian indie rock band of the same name, The Temper Trap, released in Australia through Liberation Music on 18 May 2012. A deluxe edition of the album was also released on iTunes Store, containing three bonus tracks: "Want", "The Trouble with Pain" and "Everybody Leaves in the End".

It is the band's first album as a five-piece since Joseph Greer was added as a permanent member of the band.

Reception

The Temper Trap received mixed reviews from critics. According to the website Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average review score of 56/100, based on 13 reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".

Matt Collar wrote a favorable review for AllMusic, stating "there's something less catchy about these tracks, but make no mistake, each song makes that wait well worth it, with a meticulous arrangement that pays off at exactly the right moment." 

Cameron Adams wrote a positive review for Herald Sun, analysing that "Unlike their debut Conditions, this album requires repeated listening and patience before it charms you. But in taking just enough risks while still serving up a safety net in that all-important hit, The Temper Trap should have effectively protected themselves from that dreaded second album syndrome."

A mixed review came from NME's Jamie Fullerton, who wrote that "this is a vision-free second album that sounds like a band who have nothing close to 'Sweet Disposition' in their arsenal. Instead of bashing critics away with brilliant tunes, they find themselves defining faceless bluster-rock."

However he did comment that "The one great moment is the sweeping 'Trembling Hands', which is shaped enough like Keane's equally amazing 'Bedshaped' to hold the attention." Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote a negative review, saying that "for all Mandagi's pained sincerity – and he makes Chris Martin sound like a smirking ironist doing inverted commas with his fingers every other line – it all sounds weirdly hollow: music as a means to an end."

The Temper Trap è il secondo album dei The Temper Trap. Where Do We Go From Here fa parte dell'album.

Storia

La band nasce nel 2005. Dougy, il cantante, e Toby, il batterista, lavoravano in un negozio d'abbigliamento e, trovandosi spesso a parlare di musica, un giorno decisero di cominciare a fare qualche jam insieme. Poco tempo dopo si aggiunse un chitarrista e poi Jony, l'attuale bassista. In seguito si unì a loro Lorenzo Sillitto, il quale lavorava in un negozio di musica.

I The Temper Trap iniziarono a farsi conoscere tra il 2008 e i primi mesi del 2009, esibendosi in festival musicali e manifestazioni in giro per il mondo. Nel marzo del 2009 finirono di registrare il loro album di debutto, Conditions, prodotto da Jim Abbiss, già produttore di artisti come Arctic Monkeys e Kasabian.

Do you remember
when you were young
Chasing clouds
down the rivers
Catching birds
in the sun

You have surrendered
life's better hours
In the deep
lies your freedom
In the stars
is your home

As we gather
to see you go
Flowers scatter
to let you know

Sons of the mountains
cry in the vials
Warm and tender
in her arms
So you'll stay
though you're gone

As we gather
to say goodbye
Until we see
your face again

But seasons come
you're going soon
Everybody leaves in the end

Do you remember, do you remember

No one way,
no one can
ever walk like you again
All the names
left behind
Are standing mirrors of your eyes

No one will,
not one name
Shall replace the wars that came

Held you tight,
we held you tight
Everybody leaves in the end
Do you remember...

Ti ricordi
quando eri giovane
A rincorrere le nuvole
seguendo i fiumi
Acchiappando gli uccelli
al sole

Ti sei arresa
alle migliori ore della vita
Nelle bugie pesanti
della tua libertà
La tua casa
è nelle stelle

Mentre ci raduniamo
per vederti andare
I fiori sbocciano
per farti sapere che

I figli delle montagne
piangono nelle strade
Caldo e tenero
nelle sue mani
Quindi resterai
anche se te ne sei andata

Mentre ci raduniamo
per dire addio
Finchè non vedremo
di nuovo il tuo viso

Ma le stagioni arrivano,
te ne sei andata presto
Tutti se ne vanno alla fine

Ti ricordi, ti ricordi

Nessuna direzione,
nessuno potrà mai
camminare come te di nuovo
Tutti i nomi
lasciati indietro
Sono specchi nei tuoi occhi

Nessuno lo farà,
non un nome
Rimpiazzerà le guerre che sono arrivate

Ti ho tenuta stretta,
ti abbiamo tenuta stretta
Tutti se ne vanno alla fine
Ti ricordi...
