Guillem Gisbert premieres a song from the album that he will publish in November
'Entretén-me' will be part of the second album of the musician from Barcelona apart from the group Manel
BarcelonaIf there is ever a reunion of the group Manel, it will not be this autumn. Guillem Gisbert will release a new album under his own name on November 13th, his second outside of Manel after Balla la masurca! (Ceràmiques Guzmán, 2024). For now, the Barcelona singer and songwriter is premiering a preview this Friday: the song Entretén-me, which also features a music video directed by Marc Cuscó, responsible for videos by Alosa, Tarta Relena, El Petit de Cal Eril, Núria Graham, and Renaldo & Clara, among others. He filmed Gisbert's song video with the collaboration of the Teatre el Centre in Sant Feliu de Llobregat and the Esbart Sant Feliu.
Entretén-me, according to information provided by the record label Ceràmiques Guzmán, is "an ironic revision of love song codes that replaces romantic yearning with a perhaps more realistic desire: to be entertained". The song was produced by Pep Saula (from the Lleida group Sexenni) and Arnau Grabolosa (who already accompanied Gisbert in concerts during the Balla la masurca! tour), and features collaborations from singers Giulietta Vidal (from the duo Alosa) and Emma Roca, and drummer Rodri Hernández.
The lyrics of the song 'Entretén-me', by Guillem Gisbert
I want to say it now,
because otherwise things get complicated later.
I have come unashamedly and almost
exclusively for the drama.
I am a purist, a hunter of distilled emotions.
And I have a fairly clear idea
about how we should do things.
I am not interested in technique,
I despise the processes,
I never read an instruction booklet,
when life doesn't go my way I get overwhelmed
and I start pressing buttons.
So don't show off,
the time is now far away
in which we were impressed.
Find a tone, a form
and present your case. Speak!
And, without further ado,
entertain me.
Stop slacking off,
take action,
emerges in the middle
from boredom and pollution.
Bring me the sound
that makes it vibrate
the home air and
excite my eardrum.
Amuse me!
Open with your voice
a safe space.
It will lower the volume of the world,
I will listen only to you,
and your speech
urgent and modern
that will stop me
the internal monologue.
Amuse me!
Subtle orator,
great speaker,
I can no longer go on alone,
I require your charms.
Get me out of here,
I cannot breathe,
bring your notebook of tricks
and speed up the pace, because already
I don't want to feel this way!
I don't want to feel this way anymore!
I don't want to feel like this anymore!
I don't want to feel this way anymore.
We don't need to be
friends forever.
You don't need to understand me,
entertain me!
Do not give me a roof,
nor hot soup.
Do not console me,
don't touch me...
Entertain me.
Amuse me!
