May 30 - Épicas/Epic: One Last Breath (Tommee Profitt & Nicole Serrano)

  [English version below]

Por un lado, Thomas James Profitt, conocido como Tommee Profitt, es un compositor, multiinstrumentalista y productor discográfico estadounidense, de Michigan. Es aclamado por sus canciones y versiones cinematográficas. Aprendió a tocar el piano por su cuenta de niño y comenzó a producir su propia música a los 12 años. Además, ha lanzado más de 25 de sus propios proyectos y ha producido más de 1000 canciones.

Por otro lado, la voz viva, conmovedora y emotiva de Nicole Serrano, cantante, compositora y multiinstrumentista nativa de Nueva York y residente en Nashville (porque en su entorno natal no quisieron aceptarla), te captura de inmediato, labrando su propio camino entre el soul y el pop alternativo.

One Last Breath es una de las cuatro canciones de Creed que versionaron con este toque de película tan misterioso e interesante. El propio Tommee Profitt explicó que se inspiraron en cómo sonaría esta canción si formara parte de una película de James Bond. A mí me encanta el resultado.

Otra canción de Tommee Profitt que me gusta mucho, aunque es más tranquila, es Winter's Song, en este caso con Fleurie. Siempre pienso que se acaba demasiado rápido.

Por último, aprovecho para dejar por aquí el tema de esta temporada de League of Legends, Still Here. La gente involucrada en su creación aparece en la descripción del vídeo. Cinco segundos de silencio por el momento en que Tryndamere ve a Ashe (en torno al 3:55) ;)


  [Versión en castellano arriba]

On one hand, Thomas James Profitt, known as Tommee Profitt, is an American songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer from Michigan. He is renowned because of his cinematic songs and covers. He taught himself to play piano as a child and started producing his own music at age 12. Furthermore, he has released over 25 of his own projects and produced over 1,000 songs.

On the other hand, New York native, Nashville based – because she was not accepted in her home-grown environment – singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Nicole Serrano’s rich, soulful, and emotional voice captures you immediately, carving her own path between soul and alternative pop. 

One Last Breath is one of the four Creed songs they covered with this mysterious and interesting cinematic touch. As Tommee Profitt said, their inspiration was "what if Creed's 'One Last Breath' was in a James Bond movie". I love the outcome.

Another Tommee Profitt song that I really like, although it is quieter, is Winter's Song, in this case with Fleurie. I always think it's over too quickly.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to leave here the theme of this League of Legends' season, Still Here. The people involved in its creation appear in the video description. Five seconds of silence for the moment Tryndamere sees Ashe (around 3:55) ;)

Lyrics/Letra:

Please come now, I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out, "Heaven, save me"
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it, let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down
Hold me now
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down

  1. Solamente un piano, acompañamientos la voz de esta mujer hacen que brille muchísimo elncoronde cuerdas del final, un estribillo que te cagas; me recuerda en estructura a 'my body is a cage', altamente recomendada.
