Persefone: la bella bestia

Persefone. ¡Qué  grandes músicos son! Me declaro ignorante puesto que no podría haber imaginado que Andorra, ese pintoresco país que tiene un puñado más de habitantes que, por ejemplo, Cuenca, pudiera ser cuna de este tipo de músicas (y pásmate: ¡hay más grupos del género!), y realizadas además con un nivel técnico asombroso.  No se caracterizan, de momento, por ser muy conocidos ni por giras continuas.  Tampoco, como es de imaginar en el género, por una importante presencia en los medios del ramo.  Pero ahí están, con más de diez años de historia en sus lomos.  Están llegando (parece que 2013 fue su año de inflexión), y llegarán aún más lejos.
  
Para intentar entendernos, y según apuntan en la presentación de la banda en su página web, hacen progressive death metal. Pero si quieres otra clasificación cercana seguro que también es válida dada la complejidad y el alcance de su trabajo realizado en sólo cuatro discos.

Tengo que agradecer a Youtube el haberlos puesto a mi alcance cuando escuchaba Dream Theater. Buena puntería. 

Qué buenos son.

Señoras y señores: Pink Floyd

[Pink Floyd | The Wall -1979- | Comfortably Numb | De la película -1982-]



[Concierto en Londres -1994- | Casi no se echa de menos a Roger Waters]


Hello.Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

[Pink Floyd | The Final Cut]
Una rapidita para acompañarte unos minutos. Si quieres.



Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.

There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines.
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?

And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

[Roger Waters | What God Wants, Part III]
Una rapidita para acompañarte unos minutos. Si quieres.

What God Wants, Part III by Roger Waters on Grooveshark

Don't be afraid, it's only business
The alien prophet sighed
The vulture and the magpie took
The cash box from its hook
The monkey in the corner
Wrote the figures in his book
Crazed the checkout lady's fingers
Flash across the till
And the captain posts the menu of the day
And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

Christ, it's freezing inside
The veteran cries
The hyenas break cover
And stream through the meadow
And the vet rolls in
To his bottle of gin
So he picks up a stone
That looks like a bone
And the bullets fly
And the rivers run dry
And the fat girls sigh
And the network anchor persons lie
And the soldier's alone
In the video zone
But the monkey's not watching
He's slipped out to the kitchen
To pile the dishes
And answer the phone

Señoras y señores: Emerson, Lake and Palmer

...bueno, sólo Greg Lake, en directo con ELP [Pictures at an Exhibition | The Sage]



I carry the dust of a journey
That cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
For I breathe it every day.

You and I are yesterdays answers
The earth of the past come to flesh
Eroded by times rivers
To the shapes we now possess.

Come share of my breath and my substance
And mingle our streams and our times
In bright infinite moments
Our reasons are lost in our eyes.

Señoras y señores: con todos ustedes, Muse.

Y vengan a derrochar sus millones aquí [Showbiz Sunburn]



Come waste your millions here, secretly she sneers
Another corporate show, a guilty conscience grows

I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow

She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake

Come let the truth be shared, no one ever dared
To break these endless lies, secretly she cries

She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
And She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake

I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame
And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame
