Norah Jones, Flipside 2016

 Este tema de Norah Jones, Flipside incluido en su disco de 2016, Day Breaks, es un grito desgarrado, una declaración en un mundo caótico, como las que nos muestran las imágenes del vídeo oficial que se hizo para la canción. Quizá sea ese verso de la canción, "If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?" el que concentra el sentido de esta canción paradoja, "del otro extremo". Jones se ha ido abriendo su propio camino desde su primer disco, creando su propio sonido, su propio universo, sin ligaduras ni fronteras de géneros, solo la música que sale de ella. Una veces intimista, otras combativa, como en este tema. Contó el batería Brian Blade, el bajista Chris Thomas, con el gran  Dr. Lonnie Smith en el órgano Hammond B-3; con Daniel Sadownick en la percusión y con Jones en un doblete de piano y piano eléctrico Wurlitzer, junto con otro Hammond B-3. ¡Disfrútalo!

Flipside (Norah Jones & Pete Remm)

I tried to get high, but you wanted me low
Good things are happening, but happening slow
It's some kind of mystery from long ago

I finally know who I'm supposed to be
My mind was locked but I found the key
Hope it don't all slip away from me

Hard times, fine lines
Moments pass by and I cry
Rewind, step behind
It's hard to find the flipside

I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

You saw your reflection all over the news
Your temperature's well past a hundred and two
Put the guns away, or we'll all gonna lose

Stand by, or take flight
Eat or throw your peace pie
Walk on, or be mine
Moments fly by and I cry

I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
