manele heavy metal

exodus-force-of-habit-lp-fronto doamna care ma cunoaste mai de demult, referindu-se la gusturile mele musicale mi-a zis ca-s “eclectic”. ce-i drept cind aveam vreo 10-12 ani, ascultam manele (de-alea de pe vremea mea: azur, generic, albatros and shit!). dupa care, cind a inceput sa tropaie mai tare hormonu’, am dat-o-n heavy metal, si m-am pretty much blocat acolo ever since. chiar daca mai rare rataciri spre blues, jazz, electro sau hip-hop.

aceasta poate sa explice intr-o anumita masura de ce imi plac chestii precum load/re-load de la metallica, risk de la megadeth si nu in cele din urma force of habit de la exodus pe care-l ascult acuma si care imi da o ciudata buna dispozitie desi e un album cu manele heavy metal, ca sa zic asa (thrash pentru cei mai scrupulosi si severi dintre daci).

toate albumele de mai sus sunt considerate, de catre literatura de specialitate si criticii de gen, erori ale artistilor sau aberatii. dar muzica e pina la urma muzica, adica e chestia aia care te face sa te simti bijne, sa lacrimezi sau sa arunci cu caciula dupa cei care-ti ridica stergatoarele (sau ti le rup!), asa ca de ce plm sa-ti faci procese de constiinta! bine, asta nu inseamna ca imi schimb parerea proasta pe care o am despre tine pentru ca servesti doar salam sau mirabela, chirila sau delia, carla’s dream sau maria dragomiroiu

21-22 cine-a cintatat despre noi

bintuind astazi prin vasta-mi discografie (da, chiar sint mindru de ea si imi si place sa ma laud cu asta!) am descoperit o bijuterie muzicala despre lovitutia din decembrie. piesa se numeste changing the guard si face parte din albumul impact is imminent, din 1990 al formatiei vocale si instrumentale exodus. albumul respectiv e plin de-asemenea chestiuni (favorita mea de pe acest album este within the walls of chaos) ceea ce arata ca acesti tineri din san francisco erau chiar preocupati de soarta noastra inca din 1990 cind pe noi chiar ne durea la basca si votam cu iliescu. va las in compania textului, albumul poate vi-l cumparati singuri de pe amazon.

Rumanian dictator, emperor for life
Lived a life of luxury shared only by his wife
Growing fat like pigs, eating meals fit for a king
Accumulating assets like none you’ve ever seen
Now the table’s turned, they were stripped of all they owned
The revolution’s cast the dictator from the throne
With their execution, so ends the tyranny
Two bullets from a rifle set the people free

Fighting for their rights
They toppled the regime
Pillage all their riches
Left them not a thing
Now they know the feeling
To reap the seeds they’ve sewn
Banished from the living
When they were overthrown
How did they feed the enormous greed
It took to satisfy their needs?
They drained the country dry
As thousands had to die
But now the monarchy is nullfied!

The changing of the guard
They no longer deal the cards
The world demands democracy
It’s the dawning of a time
When the system’s redefined
Oppression’s now a distant memory
Communism yields to the might the people wield
For a democratic form of government
For their blatant disregard
They have suffered long and hard
It’s time for a changing of the guard!

No longer will they rule the land by genocide
The traces of their empire have all been liquefied
Political reform has gotten underway
Now they’re free to speak, before they’d only pray
Freedom is contagious, it’s spreading far and wide
The Berlin Wall has fallen, there’s no need to divide
They walk across a border where many tried and failed
Others died but not in vain, the people have prevailed

Fighting for their rights
They toppled the regime
Pillaged all their riches
Left them not o thing
Now they know the feeling
To reap the seeds they’ve sewn
Banished from the living
When they were overthrown
How did they feed the enormous greed
It took to satisfy their needs?
They drained the country dry
As thousands had to die
But now the monarchy is nullified!

si daca vreti sa auziti si muzica:


bai da uei, isi mai aduce aminte cineva fo’ cintare romaneasca despre lovitutia din decembrie?!
