Queensryche " I Don't Believe In Love "

QUEENSRYCHE  " I  DON'T  BELIEVE  IN  LOVE  "


I Awoke On Impact
Under Surveillance From The Camera Eye
Searching High And Low
The Criminal Mind Found At The Scene Of The Crime
Handcuffed And Blind, I Didn't Do It
She Said She Loved Me
I Guess I Never Knew
But Do We Ever, Ever Really Know ?
She Said She'd Meet Me On The Other Side
But I Knew Right Then, I'd Never Find Her

I Don't Believe In Love
I Never Have, I Never Will
I Don't Believe In Love
It's Never Worth The Pain That You Feel

No More Nightmares, I've Seen Them All
From The Day I Was Born
They've Haunted My Every Move
Every Open Hand's There To Push And Shove
No Time For Love It Doesn't Matter
She Made A Difference
I Guess She Had A Way
Of Making Every Night Seem Bright As Day
Now I Walk In Shadows, Never See The Light
She Must Have Lied 'Cause She Never Said Goodbye

I Don't Believe In Love
I Never Have, I Never Will
I Don't Believe In Love
I'll Just Pretend She Never Was Real
I Don't Believe In Love
I Need To Forget Her Face, I See It Still
I Don't Believe In Love
It's Never Worth The Pain That You Feel

No Chance For Contact
There's No Raison D'Etre
My Only Hope Is One Day I'll Forget
The Pain Of Knowing What Can Never Be
With Or Without Love It's All The Same To Me

I Don't Believe In Love
I Never Have, I Never Will
I Don't Believe In Love
I'll Just Pretend She Never Was Real
I Don't Believe In Love
I Need To Forget Her Face, I See It Still
I Don't Believe In Love
It's Never Worth The Pain That You Feel

Amo questa canzone. Adoro la sua melodia, il suo testo e poi è contenuta in uno dei dischi più perfetti che esistano. perchè "Operation: Mindcrime" è una disco pressochè perfetto, dall'inizio alla fine. Sia dal punto di vista lirico (il concept dietro al disco è originale e dannatamente intrigante) che dal punto di vista musicale (ogni singola nota si incastra alla perfezione come in un eccezionale puzzle). Che dire poi dei Queensryche ? Immensi e fondamentali per i primi 5 dischi (fino a "Promised Land") poi, purtroppo, un calo terribile, dove soltanto in qualche breve istante si sentono i veri Queensryche. Ma questo disco... è immenso e splendido.

Alice Cooper " Only Women Bleed "

 

ALICE COOPER   “ ONLY WOMEN BLEED “

Man Got His Woman To Take His Seed
He Got The Power Oh She Got The Need
She Spends Her Life Through Pleasing Up Her Man
She Feeds Him Dinner Or Anything She Can

She Cries Alone At Night Too Often
He Smokes And Drinks and Don't Come Home At All
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Man Makes Your Hair Grey He's Your Lifes Mistake
All You're Really Looking Fors An Even Break
He Lies Right At You, You Now Hate This Game
He Slaps You Once In A While And You Live And Love In Pain

She Cries Alone At Night Too Often
He Smokes And Drinks and Don't Come Home At All Ooh
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Man Got His Woman To Take His Seed
He Got The Power Oh She Got The Need
She Spends Her Life Through Pleasing Up Her Man
She Feeds Him Dinner Or Anything She Can

She Cries Alone At Night Too Often
He Smokes And Drinks and Don't Come Home At All
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Black Eyes All Of The Time
Dont Spend A Dime Clean Up This Grime
And You There Down On Your Knees
Begging Me Please Come Watch Me Bleed

Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed
Only Women Bleed

Non penso ci sia molto da dire su di una vera e propria leggenda del rock come Alice Cooper. Ho scelto questa canzone perché penso sia meravigliosa, da ogni punto di vista. E poi l'album da cui è presa, nonostante ormai abbia 34 anni, è ancora attuale e stupendo. Canzoni come “The Devil's Food” , “Black Widow” e “Cold Ethyl” sono entrare di diritto nella storia del rock. Alice Cooper ? Immenso.

Savatage " Chance "

SAVATAGE    " CHANCE  "

He Was Standing All Alone
Trying To Find The Words To Say
When Every Prayer He Ever Prayed
Was Gone
And The Dreams He's Never Owned
Are Still Safely Tucked Away
Until Tomorrow He Just
Carries On
Carries On
Carries On
Carries On...

See The Devil In The Streets At Night
See Him Running In The Pouring Rain
See Him Grinning 'Neath A Twisted Light
I'll Be Back Again
See The People Standing In A Row
See Them Nodding Like A Field Of Grain
No One Sees The Sickle Though
Coming 'Cross The Plain

And This He Knows If Nothing More
That Waiting In The Dark Like Destiny
Are Those Who Kissed The Dogs Of War
And There Is No Tomorrow
No Tomorrow
Take A Chance
Take A, Take A Chance

See The Devil He Is So Intense
See The Devil Go And Change His Name
What's The Going Price Of Innocence
It Can't Be The Same
Is It Dark When The Moon Is Down
Is It Dark With A Single Flame
If There's Glass Falling All Around
I Am Not To Blame

And This He Knows If Nothing More
That Waiting In The Dark Like Destiny
Are Those Who Kissed The Dogs Of War
And There Is No Tomorrow
No Tomorrow
Take A Chance
Take A, Take A Chance
Take A Chance
Take A, Take A Chance

Burn The Night Away
Burn The Night Away
Burn The Night...

Pictures At An Exhibition
Played As He stood His Trance
Staring At His Inhibitions
All The Time Believing
That It Now Came Down To Nothing
But This Chance
Chance...
Chance...
Chance...

I Fear You
Your Silence
Your Blindless
See What You Want To See
In Darkness
One Kindness
One Moment
Tell Me What You Believe

I Believe In Nothing
Never Really Had To
In Regards To Your Life
Rumors That Are Not True
Who's Defending Evil
Surely Never I
Who Would Be The Witness
Should You Chance To Die

Father Can You Hear Me
This Is Not How Was Meant To Be
I Am Safe And So Are You
As For The Others Destiny

I Believe That Situations
All Depend On Circumstance

Look Away
Look Away
Look Away
Look Away

Pictures At An Exhibition
Played As He stood His Trance
Staring At His Inhibitions
All The Time Believing
That It Now Came Down To Nothing
But This Chance
Chance !
Chance !
Chance !

 

ARTISTA : SAVATAGE
ALBUM : HANDFUL  OF  RAIN
ANNO : 1994
DURATA : 07:49
FORMAZIONE : Zachary Stevens : Vocals
                     Alex Skolnick : Guitars

Immensi, sempre e comunque. Una bandiera dell' heavy metal più raffinato e più suggestivo.
Ho i Savatage nel cuore da sempre e ogni volta che li sento, mi emoziono come se fosse la prima volta. E quando sento canzoni come "Chance", vado in estasi.
Pubblicato a pochi mesi dalla scomparsa del mai troppo rimpianto Criss Oliva (morto il 17 Ottobre del 1993, in un incidente stradale causato da un guidatore ubriaco), fratello del grande Jon Oliva nonchè membro fondatore dei Savatage, "Handful Of Rain" è un album cupo, dove testi sono riflessivi e parlano di vari argomenti importanti (la meravigliosa "Alone You Breathe" è dedicata alla scomparsa di Criss, "Castels Burning" è dedicata a Giovanni Falcone e alla sua lotta alla mafia e via di seguito).
In "Handful Of Rain" suona come amico della band anche il grande Alex Skolnick, maestro della chitarra nonchè membro dei Testament.
Ogni canzone è bellissima e lascia un segno.
Ogni altro commento è superfluo.

Un'altra grandissima band importantissima per il movimento Black Metal e forse, uno dei gruppi più amati del genere. Ho scelto questa canzone perchè mi piace un casino così come tutto il loro ultimo album. Dall'incedere lento e morboso, è splendida e dannatamente evocativa, con la voce di Mortuus malata ma davvero efficace.
