Crystal Fighters est un groupe électro rock anglo-espagnol. Ses influences sont diverses : elles vont du rock  à l'électro donc, mais passent aussi par : le folklore basque, la funk, la new wave et le rock psychédélique. Ses débuts se sont faits sur le label de Kitsuné en 2008 pour qui il sort les titres Xtatic Truth et I Love London. Les membres du groupe sont au nombre de quatre : Sebastian Pringle (chant, guitare), Gilbert Vierich (programmation, guitare, percussions), Mimi (chant) et Laure (chant).

&quot;We are Crystal Fighters. We make fast dance music with Basque instruments, synthesizers and our voices. We play new material at every show, come and see us live.  From somewhere high above the old hills of our home, The love will come to conquer.&quot;  

 Este quinteto de Londres combina instrumentos del folclore vasco con sintetizadores y loops. Su nombre viene de una ópera inacabada que el abuelo de Laura (voz) escribió en sus últimos años de senilidad . La encontró recogiendo sus pertenencias en su caserío del País Vasco y decidió continuarla y modernizarla. Textos retorcidos, folk vasco y líneas de bajo londinenses con influencias que van desde Fischerspooner a Animal Collective.   

C
It's been so long out here sitting and drifting all alone
G
Lost in a wild place, no sign of home
F                                          C
So I write you with love from the wide ocean
C
And I know we haven't spoken at all for so long
G
But there's something I need to tell you 
                             F                                      C
and there's something I've thought about for so long, in the wide ocean


C
If the sun don't shine on me
G
I'll look to the stars ahead
Bb                           F
And send a message from the sea
C
If the moon don't rise again 
G
I watch the water beneath my feet
Bb                           F
And the world to bring you to me


Am                        G
The clouds are all around me
                  Gm
The water's still below me
                              F
And the ground may never be found
Am                                     G
If only I could build a bridge of bones
                        Gm
With every bone in my body
                      F
So many bones in my body


           C                G
So I will float to find my love
               Bb
So shine your light
          F
Show me a way, show me a way to forever
[repeat  x2]

C

C
And the colors of home I'm remembering so strong
G
Beautiful colors I ain't seen in so long
F                                                C
Will I find you again before I die? I don't know
C
And I guess I must have done something really wrong
              G
Cause all I've been drifting out here pretty long
F                                          C
So I write you with love from the wide ocean



C
If the sun don't shine on me
G
I'll look to the stars ahead
Bb                             F

So I will float to find my love

Show me a way, show me a way to forever (and)
[repeat  x4]


Am          F               G
I've been good, I've been wrong

I've been gone too long
            Dm              Em
I've been right, I've been told
           F
I've been lost too long

I've lived my life, sung my song out here all alone
           Dm                Em           G        Gsus4     
I need to build a bridge of bones to get home



C
If the sun don't shine on me

I'll look to the stars ahead
Bb                            F
And send a message from the sea

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time
