Two Door Cinema Club es una banda de indie rock proveniente de Irlanda del Norte, formada en 2007 en la localidad de Bangor. La banda está compuesta por Alex Trimble (voz y guitarra), Sam Halliday (guitarra y coros) y Kevin Baird (bajo y coros). La historia de este conjunto musical comenzó en los pasillos de la escuela secundaria, donde Trimble, Halliday y Baird compartían su pasión por la música.
Curiosamente, el nombre "Two Door Cinema Club" es una modificación de "Tudor Cinema," un teatro local que influenció la inspiración artística del grupo. Sin embargo, debido a un error tipográfico durante el registro del nombre de la banda, el resultado fue el conocido y pegajoso “Two Door Cinema Club.”
En 2010, la vida de los miembros de Two Door Cinema Club cambió drásticamente con el lanzamiento de su álbum debut Tourist History. Este álbum fue un éxito rotundo, obteniendo aclamación crítica y comercial. Canciones como "Something Good Can Work," "Undercover Martyn," y "What You Know" resonaron fuertemente con una audiencia internacional. El pop energético combinado con guitarras brillantes y ritmos bailables fue un soplo de aire fresco dentro del panorama musical indie.
[Verse 1]
I gave myself to the city, I wanna breathe dirty air
I got myself real pretty, I fixed up my hair
And when that dancehall's set to break
I wanna leave with the best I know
When that anger takes its shape
I will be leaving the best in show
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me your time, I'll give you plenty of mine
Or give me something to burn, I'm tired of waiting my turn
I'll give you fire, fire, fire, fire
Smoking, broken, windows, limbos
Anything you wanna try
[Chorus]
The sky is falling, so pull up a chair
Everyone's watching like nobody cares
The queen of fashion, ahead of her time
Whatever happens, the pleasure is mine
[Verse 2]
I'm picking up the pieces of that stained glass pane
And as my speed increases, I strip off my shame
I slip the hook right off the bait
I'm a machine running self control
Got a tongue that doesn't quite translate
Lickin' somebody else's bowl
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me the vine
And I'll give you the wine
Bring anything that will burn
And you'll get fire in return
We'll start a fire, fire, fire, fire
Blazing, raising, hell now, well now
Anything to catch your eye
Anything to catch your eye
[Chorus]
The sky is falling, so pull up a chair
Everyone's watching like nobody cares
The queen of fashion, ahead of her time
Whatever happens, the pleasure is mine
The sky is falling, so pull up a chair
Everyone's watching, but nobody cares
The queen of fashion, ahead of her time
Whatever happens, the pleasure is mine
[Bridge]
I'll send them to freedom
I'll send them to freedom
[Chorus]
The sky is falling, so pull up a chair
Everyone's watching like nobody cares
The queen of fashion, ahead of her time
Whatever happens, the pleasure is mine
The sky is falling, so pull up a chair
Everyone's watching, but nobody cares
The queen of fashion, ahead of her time
Whatever happens, the pleasure is all mine
