Em 1973, Rory Gallagher lançou Cradle Rock, fundindo Funk com Rock (ou Rock com Funk – tanto faz). No ano, 2000, Bonamassa regravou a música (eu cheguei na música original através dessa versão).
Fica uma pergunta: qual das versões é a mais absurda? Historicamente, a inovação e seus desdobramentos musicais fica por conta do RG, mas a pimenta que o JB jogou na música é absurda! E aí? Qual delas?
Não sei nem o que dizer… Magistral! Muito feeling e muita técnica! Espetacular! É para aplaudir de pé!
“Still we try
Win or lose
Take the highs
With the blues.”
5150 – album 5150 – by Van Halen
RIP. No words will be capable of explaining what I am feeling right now.
“I’ll meet you half the way…”
Quer ouvir uma Fender Stratocaster cantar limpo, ainda por cima através de um amplificador Fender? Não consigo me lembrar de exemplo melhor. Som único, inconfundível.
Robert Cray é um monstro sagrado do Blues. Essa música é de 1986, e eu me lembro como se fosse hoje do LP que ouvi na casa de um amigo que tocava guitarra comigo (sim, naquela época as pessoas se juntavam para ouvir música com os amigos). Inesquecível. Como disse Eric Clapton sobre o Robert Cray: “He’s got the whole package”.
Divirtam-se. 🙂
Eu estou sem palavras diante deste vídeo!!! John Petrucci (guitarra) e Mike Portnoy (bateria, ex membro do Dream Theater) juntos novamente, ainda que somente em uma música? E essa vibe de Surf Music? E o Mestre Yoda assistindo tudo? Na boa… SENSACIONAL! IMPERDÍVEL!
P.S.: Bem que eles poderiam convidar o LaBrie, o Myung e o Rudess para formar uma espécie de Dream Theater Tribute Band. Aposto que seria muito parecido com o Dream Theater Original. 😛
Hearts Breaking Even
It’s been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
And I can’t get you off my mind
God knows I’ve tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain
Don’t say my name, run away, cause it’s all in vain
My heart’s breaking even, now there’s no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died
Both got our reasons, let’s just fold the cards and say good-bye
It’s all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight
It’s been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I’ve had your love here in my hands
We didn’t understand it, we couldn’t understand it
But, nothing’s fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away , before it’s too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains , we remain,
No one left to blame
My heart’s breaking even, now there’s no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died
Both got our reasons, let’s just fold the cards and say good-bye
It’s all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight
Go on, get on with your life, Yeah – I’ll get on with mine
Broken hearts can’t call the cops, yeah it’s the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I’m burning alive
I’m paying the price again
But I’ll see the light again
My heart’s breaking even, now there’s no use we even try
Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died
Both got our reasons, let’s just fold the cards and say good-bye
It’s alright, just two hearts breaking even tonight
Oh I’m going, gonna walk out the door
Saying you don’t care for me anymore
That’s alright, just two hearts breaking even tonight
Não sei nem o que dizer… Um espetáculo! Martin Miller com o MESTRE Paul Gilbert guitarra mostrando toda a sua versatilidade. SURREAL!
Divirtam-se!!! 🙂
May the distance never be an excuse
May the heart never be in cruise mode
May you never lie to your own mirror
May I never have to give up.
There’s a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
Far away where no one’s waiting, so far from home, so far from home
There’s a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
Like that lonesome whistle blowing
I keep on going, keep on going…
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I’ll never give up the fight
I’ll go the distance
There’s a thread that runs between us pulling ‘cross this great divide
It’s only there for the believers
Don’t stop believing, don’t stop believing
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I’ll never give up the fight
I’ll go the distance, I’ll go the distance
There’s a never ending story that begins with you and I
Like the rose outside your window
Don’t let it die, don’t let it die
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and my arms are reaching through the night
I’ll never give up the fight
I’ll go the distance
E eles mais uma vez mandaram bem (para variar)! Letra e música irretocáveis! Os solos melódicos do guitarrista John Petrucci são de babar! 🙂
Barstool Warrior
In a dark and lonely corner, all the time in Dark-side inn
Sits a local barstool warrior, talking to his gin
Treating past decisions, he motions for a shot
Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
Call it bad luck, call it fate
Call it stuck here the rest of my days
Serves me right, what went wrong
And where do I belong?
In the glow of flashing lights, on the shoulder of the road
Clutching at the bruised and tired skin
She tries to signal danger with anguish in her eyes
Will he see the world of pain she’s in?
Or is it too late?
Was it bad luck, was it fate
Or a past that she couldn’t escape?
It’s not right, something’s wrong
Just where do I belong?
Promises made, crying in vain
All empty, never accepting the blame
And not letting go of the shame
A river of tears, as months turned to years
All wasted on someone not willing to change
Now only a shadow remains
No one can save you
And there’s no one to see
It has been written
You will become all you think, all you feel, all you dream
Now I’m cutting the anchor away
And I won’t look back
I’m starting a new life today
Now I see where I belong
Com Rod Tyler nos vocais. Surreal!!!! 🙂
Letra logo abaixo do vídeo.
Seasons changing now – summer’s come
And I’ll be on my own
Just bear another day
I have wondered – if I can turn back hands of time
I’ll try, just try another way
I don’t know why my heart keeps calling
But I really don’t want you to stay
I have my reasons to keep from falling
Then cast me into shades of gray
Life’s an endless stage – wisdom comes with age
Can’t you see what mindless games we play
(So the end)
So the end is near – captured by the spirit in the wind
You keep calling out to me
I’ll find my way
I’ll see it through
I don’t know why my heart keeps calling
But I really don’t want you to stay
I have my reasons to keep from falling
Then cast me into shades of gray
(Solo)
When the curtain falls – I’ll hold my head up high
And curse you all
Such vicious games we play
I don’t know why my heart keeps calling
But I really don’t want you to stay
I have my reasons to keep from falling
Then cast me into shades of gray
