Alt-J (βˆ†) - Taro

Alt-J (βˆ†) is an award-winning English indie rock band formed in 2007. One of their most mesmerizing songs is "Taro," released as part of their debut album "An Awesome Wave" in 2012. This hauntingly beautiful track tells the tragic love story of war photographers Robert Capa and Gerda Taro during the Spanish Civil War. The lyrics, layered instrumentation, and Joe Newman's distinctive vocals combine to create a hypnotic and melancholic atmosphere. "Taro" showcases the band's unique sound, blending folk-inspired melodies with experimental electronic elements. To appreciate the captivating sounds of Alt-J (βˆ†) and download their music, visit their official website or popular streaming platforms.

A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags
Burst so high finally Capa lands
Doors open like arms my love, Painless with a great closeness
Foe, him five yards from his leg, From you Taro.
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy
Hey Taro!
Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not – le photographe est mort.
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance
Re united with his leg and with you, Taro.
They advance as does his chance – very yellow white flash.
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing
Toe for toe, to record meat lumps and war
3: 10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54
