Finalmente pubblicata la canzone di Florence + The Machine scritta per il nuovo film di Tim Burton. Si intitola “Wish that you were here” e dura la bellezza di 6 minuti e 45 secondi. Il pezzo accompagnerà i titoli di coda di “Miss Peregrine: la Casa dei Ragazzi Speciali” (titolo originale “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children“), basato sull’omonimo romanzo di Ransom Diggs (del 2011, titolo italiano “La Casa per Bambini Speciali di Miss Peregrine”), nel cui cast figurano nomi eccellenti del cinema internazionale quali Eva Green, Rupert Everett e Judi Dench.
La traccia viene pubblicato in un periodo pieno di novità per il gruppo britannico capitanato da Florence Welch, ultime delle quali la pubblicazione di tre canzoni scritte come colonna sonora di Final Fantasy XV e i (non pochi) rumours di una prossima collaborazione con Lady Gaga.
Per quanto riguarda il film, la data di uscita in Italia è stata recentemente posticipata al 15 dicembre, mentre negli USA sarà nelle sale già dal 30 settembre.

Lyrics:
I tried to leave it all behind me
But I woke up and there they were beside me
And I don’t believe it but I guess it’s true
Some feelings, they can travel too
Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest
Makes it hard to catch my breath
I scramble for the light of changeYou’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mindAnd I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now I’m reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were hereAnd if I stay, oh, I don’t know
There’ll be so much that I’ll have to let go
You’re disappearing all the time
But I still see you in the light
For you, the shadows fight
And it’s beautiful but there’s that tug in the sight
I must stop time traveling, you’re always on my mindYou’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mindAnd I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now I’m reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were hereWe all need something watching over us
Be it the falcons, the clouds or the cross
And then the sea swept in and left us all speechless
SpeechlessAnd I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now I’m reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were hereWish that you were here
Wish that you were here
Wish that you were here
I wish that you…
