    Ama o muere, tan sencillo como eso. Es lo que esperábamos de ellos, que siguieran recordándonos que la vida es más manejable de lo que a veces pueda parecer. Si Squared Wheels podía actuar como bálsamo para la ansiedad o estimulante contra la desidia, el segundo, Love or die -o mejor: el del árbol del corazón-, sigue haciéndonos ver playas donde por capricho del asfalto no las hay. Sabemos que Ferran, Xavi, Carles y Enric (Bullitt) tienen cosas que decir porque sacan discos. Eso ocurre cada vez menos pasada una década del siglo XXI. Y se empeñan en borrar esa barrera temporal que devasta algunos álbumes. Podríamos estar en pantalones cortos en un verano de los noventa tonteando tras la Selectividad, de camino a una oficina con agua embotellada más de una década después o imaginarnos encontrando este disco tras una mudanza dentro de veinticinco años, cruzando los dedos para que las agujas aguanten bien el paso del tiempo. En caso de que no, yo no me preocupo: tras varias escuchas casi me se las canciones. ¿Simples? Naturales. ¿Buenas? Sin duda, si por ello entendemos una agradable, dicen que química, sensación en el cuerpo. Busquen la explicación en los programas de Punset, yo lo llamo bienestar, esa playa que imagino escuchando Survivors, reconocer la dependencia de un fino hilo en la perfección de Don’t ever fail o saber con Vision of condition que los valores que adquirimos con los pantalones cortos de los noventa siguen presentes aunque las canas hayan dejado de ser exclusividad de los viejos. Beta Pelican es otra llamada a la camaradería, a no dejarnos aturullar por quien dice que la vida es difícil de entender, cuando a veces basta con sentir la ilusión y comprender el viento. Es bueno saber que somos más, que nuestras bandas sonoras van a ser atemporales y eternas, es lo que dicen Bullitt entre surcos y convierten en bonito lo cursi. Y dejan en evidencia a la parafernalia de las modas. ¿Dónde buscabas? no te olvides de quién eres, parece recomendarnos un álbum concebido para ser escuchado viendo cómo la gente camina, ríe, juega. Unas canciones que aciertan tanto nunca son casualidad, sólo salen cuando tienes algo que decir, y sin ello sería imposible pensar que existiese un disco como Love or die.

Love Or Die 03:44
back on a trip to the end of the world I was collecting views from the top you don’t seem to be going nowhere around and you think about this awful reaction and everything that we’ve made knowing anyone else was going to fade do you know me like I did It’s always like the 80’s I wait and see back on a trip to the end of the world I was collecting views from the top you don’t seem to be going nowhere around and we go for a walk to the mountains now the iceland is near I’ll meet you where waterfalls are waiting to break do you know me like I did It’s always like the 80’s I wait and see If you don’t love me no more back on a trip to the end of the world

we spent some time in the city and we went party all night we had some drinks in the hostel before we closed every bar we took our way to the highway Carlus was driving for hours we had a meal in a lost place Ferran was talking to Pla we lost a cell playing frisbee outside the restaurant park we spin around and we found it we crashed it under the van are we playing next monday we‘ve got a new one to try It’s not gonna go on the record but maybe santi will like we had a perfect time along the road are we gonna miss a chance to make it once and we just can’t wait for the next day would it be things are going well yes we care about the meaning of the sound

Survivors 03:40
I’m going around in circles to rise a new myself low on the deepest dark grave the rule I don’t understand I wanna drift till the end of the year I wanna take care about my dear I wanna reach for the end of the sky I wanna teach you how to survive while roses are waiting to fall I’m looking for my shelter to ride the perfect wave get ready for the shore days to loose my fears on the sand I wanna drift till the end of the year I wanna take care about my dear I wanna reach for the end of the sky I wanna teach you how to survive when roses have grown you’ll know if I made things right the truth in your eyes will show that I’ve let you down

Lying Way 03:13
If you don’t know where to go If it’s written in your soul and you’re just reacting I will show you where to go If you’re trusting me once more when it all comences If you don’t know where to go If you’re waiting for the call and you’re just reacting I will show you where to go If you’re turning on the score when I just can’t fight this lying way I would do it If I could I’m in a mood I just can’t hide If you don’t know where to go If it’s written in your soul and you’re just reacting I will show you where to go If you’re trusting me once more when I just can’t fight this lying way I would do it If I could I’m in a mood I just can’t hide and I see this cold is driving me insane

Countryclub 02:21
I searched for gold on empty rivers and passed the bounds from valley hill I’m once again straight to the crossroad I’ve found a way to disappear I’m just a poor guy who’s reward is not complete don’t worry baby I’ll try to leave no tear so dry your eyes and please stay close to me this starry night my hands are tired I still have time to think about how I wish you where here
6.
I walk alone and I don’t really know how ready to make always the same mistake If at least I could go where you’be been for a long time promise I’d keep falling to the bright side am I ready to go where you’be been for a long time leaving the pain underwater again I remember the day when we came to this old town sleep unafraid waiting for a postcard If I ever loose this feeling would it take me far away If I ever listen to it I Would never be the same ain’t it easy to get faster when you’re rising to the end If I ever listen to it I would never be the same are you standing still to walk with me this long road honey don’t ever fail pick me up on tuesday
7.
I wake up on a sunny day waiting for the moment I get blown by a shiner light and I could get some rest there are times I clear up my mind and I see the answers but the memories still arise wishing for the old days waiting for the fall a cold surrender screaming out for more the cold surrender by the night I go for a ride through the fields I wonder and I wait for the rain to come in a way I can’t explain there are times I do ask myself what I’ve done for ten years when electrical call at last came into the wrong place waiting for the fall a cold surrender screaming out for more the cold surrender
8.
here it comes a new way to be cruel welcome to the drowning corporated protest for the high prices that you pay everything is ready to release you out of state there must be another point of view ‘cause the one we have is now obsolete burn your money down, throw it to the air anything it’s ok if you don’t give it to them and it’s a vision of condition what I have inside of me you got a minute to keep running, got a minute to feel free there is another kind of vision coming up the end is near you got a minute to keep running got a minute to feel free

Beta Pelican 03:53
I was waiting for the radio when you came around i was alone how can I reach out this melody many words doesn’t make sense to me well done get a break in no time I’ve been sinking through the night is it just the wind it breaks would it help you someway I’ll be waiting by the sea is there only room for free is it just the wind it breaks would it help me someday I was waiting for the radio too much concentration running out of steam now it looks i’m breaking through it
10.
do you feel any strange connection with the age of technology do you need any broken mirror to predict what it’s gonna be have you seen an enormous lightning when it breaks through the atmosphere and you’re thinking about to reach out you may look for a time machine maybe someday we try to lift up let me tell you now all the truth do you make everything with passion or you live like the others do will you ever begin to know this and I just need a lover too when she came out to make things over and she still got a lot to proof wake up and don’t lie down you’re the one to switch my lighter tiny dancers never break down they just stand to switch your lighter

about

Love or die, it’s as simple as that. It’s what we were expecting from them that they keep on reminding us that life is much easier than it seems at times. If “Squared Wheels” was like a cure for anxiety or a pick me up, the second album “Love or Die” (or even the one with the heart tree) continues to make us see beaches where because of the need for asphalt there aren’t any. We know that Ferran, Xavi, Carles and Enric (Bullitt) have something to say and that’s why they put out records. In the 21st century, with every passing decade, this happens less. And they strive to break down this temporary barrier that devastates some albums. We could be wearing shorts on a summer’s day in the nineties, messing around after high school graduation, on the way to the office with bottled water a decade after or imagine ourselves finding this record after a move, 25 years later, crossing our fingers that the record player needle has stood the test of time. If it hasn’t, I’m not worried because after listening to it so many times I almost know all the songs. Simple? Natural. Good? Without a doubt, because of this we experience a pleasant, some would say chemical, feeling in our bodies. Looking for an explanation in Punset’s programmes, I call it well being. That beach that I imagine while listening to “Survivors”, recognising the dependence of a fine thread in the perfection of “Don’t ever fail” or knowing with “Vision of condition” that the values that we got while wearing shorts in the nineties, are still around even though nowadays white hairs aren’t just for old people. “Beta Pelican” is another call to camaraderie and doesn’t let us get flustered by those who say that life is difficult to understand, when sometimes it’ s enough to feel the illusion and understand the wind. It’s good to know that we are more. That our soundtracks are going to be timeless and everlasting. That’s what Bullitt say between grooves and make it sound good. They show up all the paraphernalia of the trends. Where were you looking? Don’t forget who you are, it seems to recommend an album conceived to be listened to while watching how people walk, laugh and play. Songs that have such an impact are never by chance, they only come about when you have something to say and without this it would be impossible for an album like Love or die to exist.
