Rock Plaza Central – We’ve Got A Lot To Be Glad For

Song

Since going on hiatus in 2010, the band’s music was used extensively in the indie zombie film The Battery.

Album

Are We Not Horses is an album by Rock Plaza Central. Despite being first released independently, the disc made many top ten lists for 2006, including #8 for CMJ Editor-in-Chief Kenny Herzog, Pitchfork staff writer Stephen Deusner and Americana-UK lead writer David Cowling.

Because the album did not receive an official US release through Yep Roc Records until mid-2007, it made several of those year-end lists as well, including Magnet's "10 Great Hidden Treasures of 2007", calling it "2007's finest folk/rock find".

The album has also recently been taught in a graduate English course at the University of South Alabama, alongside frontman Chris Eaton's first novel, 2003's The Inactivist.

Artist

Rock Plaza Central is a band from Toronto, Canada. They came to international attention in 2007 with the release of Are We Not Horses, a critically acclaimed science fiction concept album about six-legged robotic horses in the midst of an existential crisis. They have been on hiatus since 2010.

Novelist Chris Eaton began performing and recording under the moniker Rock Plaza Central in the late 1990s. In 1997 he released a debut album, Quantum Butterass, backed by members of Toronto band People From Earth. For the next six years, Eaton performed with a series of mostly improvised bands, often inviting other musicians to join him onstage at the last minute.

We won't stop running 'til we get to the lights,
When we get to the lights we'll stop running.
We won't stop running 'til we get to the lights,
When we get to the lights we'll stop running.

And the lights, are like fiery knives.
Those candles burn with something we've got inside.
And you and I, we've got a lot to be glad for.
And you and I, we've got a lot to be glad for.

We've got a lot to be glad for.

Non smetteremo di correre finché non arriveremo alle luci
Quando arriveremo alle luci smetteremo di correre.
Non smetteremo di correre finché non arriveremo alle luci
Quando arriveremo alle luci smetteremo di correre.

E le luci sono come coltelli infuocati.
Quelle candele bruciano con qualcosa che abbiamo dentro.
E io e te abbiamo molto di cui essere contenti.
E io e te abbiamo molto di cui essere contenti.

Abbiamo molto di cui essere contenti.
