About Whitfield
Vancouvers Whitfield have just completed their new album entitled Well Behaved & Working For You. The album was recorded over 2 intense weeks with producers The Glitter Twins at Oregon Citys Supernatural Sound, one of the most reputable studios in the North West. A handful of advance copies generated extraordinary reviews and interest in the group, and the local CD release party was sold-out before the band hit the stage.
In the last few months, Whitfield has received Best of The Fest award at NewMusicWest 2006, the Peoples Choice award at Toronto Indie Week, and Best Alternative Group at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. The band also recently supported British multi-platinum group Athlete at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.
Originally from the UK, singer Jobie Mallett united with drummer Sam Bastedo and Bassist Josh McCulloch in Kamloops, BC. Since moving to Vancouver two years ago, Whitfield has exploded from modest beginnings into a national calibre act.
Bright Lights
Whitfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey! Pequeña, no debes tener miedo
Porque yo sé que crees que has perdido tu camino
Pero estos días de invierno fríos y congelados pasarán
Resiste, no llores
Porque todos vemos la grandeza en tus ojos
Su supersónicas, ¿No sabes niña que puedes volar?
Vamos a comenzar, Sé que
Tú puedes brillar y ser
Al igual que una estrella vas a brillar
Voy a brillar
Veo el fuego que quema a tu interior
El amor verdadero luce brillante, puedo pasar a través de la oscuridad
Dentro de un millón de piezas, dime ¿Cómo se siente allá arriba?
Vamos a comenzar, Sé que
Tú puedes brillar y ser
Al igual que una estrella vas a brillar
Voy a brillar
Vamos a comenzar, Sé que
Tú puedes brillar y ser
Al igual que una estrella vas a brillar
Voy a brillar
Al igual que una estrella vas a brillar
Brillaras en mí
