No es casualidad que tanto el EP como el hotel en el que fue grabado lleven el nombre de la patrona de la música, que celebraba su santo ayer: estos cinco temas pretendían ser, en palabras de Dave Grohl, "una celebración de la vida y la música", que con los ecos de la tragedia parisina cobra aún más sentido. A las víctimas del atentado va especialmente dedicado este EP, tal y como escribía Grohl en la carta que reproducimos al final de la noticia.
"Saint Cecilia" (RCA, 15) se puede descargar gratuitamente siguiendo este enlace, aunque también se puede reservar una edición en vinilo que se realizará próximamente. Así presentaba Grohl este EP:
"Tonight, Let me begin with a preface to a letter I wrote a few weeks ago from my hotel room in Berlin while on our final tour for this album. I felt the need to write this foreword in light of the heartbreaking tragedies of Nov. 13th, as this project has now taken on an entirely different tone. As has everything, it seems...
The Saint Cecilia EP was put into motion back in October of this year as a celebration of life and music. The concept being that, as our world tour drew to a close this week, we wanted to share our love of both with you in return for everything you have given us.
Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world. To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away.
To all who were affected by the atrocities in Paris, loved ones and friends, our hearts go out to you and your families. We will return and celebrate life and love with you once again someday with our music. As it should be done."
