Suena Como Violencia!

Rolón enfermo por parte de SLV!! Directo, furioso, aplastante, catártico, emotivo. ¿Quién no se ha sentido de esa manera?

I've been staring at you too long,
I just want somebody to take care of me
As usual nobody pay attention,
burn down your house and let's have my apprehention
Mistakes, I make everything mistakes,
but it changes so easily from love to hate

You can put me in a box and keep me there,
i won't be bothering you I swear
I feel sorry for my self, I'm a nervous wreck
I can't be your dancefloor at the discoteque

Wrong, it feels so wrong, so wrong
You belong, you belong to me, to me
I'm strong, I thought I was strong so strong,
but how I was wrong,
I was so wrong, so wrong, so wrong!

You're cast all day, you're punctually late,
I haven't feel I've made mistakes,
you burned out my brakes.
I can walk like never before,
i will grow up till my head beats no more.
Mistakes, I make everything mistakes,
but it changes so easily from love to hate.

Wrong, it feels so wrong, so wrong
You belong, you belong to me, to me
I'm strong, I thought I was strong so strong,
but how I was wrong,
I was so wrong, so wrong, so wrong!

Y también, de esta otra manera… Ambas canciones son parte del Soundtrack de mi vida, Jajá!... A disfrutar!

The clock was ticking, had no time to care about it,
i had no options, kept my mouth shut,
i spend my days solving problems,
i got ten thousand problems a day,
the time is never right, never have had the time
to bright up my life, now i'm losing you,
but maybe i just blame it on the time
that i can't give you, i remember times when
i was hooked on you too,

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
i'm losing you, i'm losing you,
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
bit by bit and it feels so good,

i was thinking 'bout it when i
hit the side walk, i've been picking on you,
'cause i dislike you, i know you're gorgeous,
but i'm tired of your sweet talk,
you have always told me that
your heart is made of gold, i'm losing you,
i'm losing you, bit by bit
and it feels so good, you smell nor taste
as good as before, don't come back baby,
don't you come back,

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
i'm losing you, i'm losing you,
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
bit by bit and it feels so good,
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
i'm losing you, i'm losing you,
bit by bit and it feels so

Sounds Like Violence – The Pistol [EP] (2004)

Era el 2004, y un sujeto, quien también gusta demasiado de la música, me dijo que debía escuchar a Sounds Like Violence; al momento de poner play a The Pistol, me hice adicto, así de fácil, no pude apartarme tan sencillamente de escuchar repetida y constantemente este excelente EP con 6 catárticos cortes; tal como el nombre lo indica, la música contenida dentro de este explosivo EP debut del 2004 suena de ese modo; como una pistola, fuerte, violento y directo!

Describir como canta Andreas Söderlund es prácticamente imposible pero, estoy seguro que muchos de nosotros nos hemos sentido de esa manera; devastador! Las guitarras duras y brillosas a manera única de Telecaster apuñalan tu espalda sin piedad; el bajo es sucio y explosivo; la batería es el detonador, la bomba acabando con todo.

Hablar de las letras es bien intenso, no hay frase que se pueda pasar por alto (esta es la prueba de que aun se puede cantar de amor sin llegar a ser simple, cursi, tonto y redundante). En ese entonces jamás pensé engancharme tanto con una letra pero, con Sounds Like Violence resulta imposible.

The Pistol abre con You Give Me Heartattacks donde el coro es mortal: You Give Me Heartattacks/You Know You Give Me Ten Times Back/You Give Me Heartattacks/ You're Stabbing Knives in My Back/You Give Me Heartattacks/You Know You Give Me Ten Times Back You Give Me Heartattacks; ahora, a todo este coro pongan de fondo suaves voces a-la My Bloody Valentine, chin! Sin palabras...

Cry! Oh Cry! Comienza con un suave arpegio de guitarra, BOOM!, entra la voz: Friend,I've Lost Another Friend/Pretend, That Things Will Never End/The Only Thing We Know is That We'll Die Some Day, ahora sigue el coro: Cry, Oh Cry/Cry Yourself to Sleep Night After Night/My, Oh My/Dance Away the Pain That You Feel Inside/Baby, Maybe Tonight...

Grow/Blow, el exquisito uso de un slide y el interludio en el minuto 2.29 es asesino: I Watch it Blow/I Watch it Grow/Now You're So Low/You Watch Me Glow/I Watch You Blow Away…

Afasi (mi canción favorita de este EP), sigue apuntando hacia tu cabeza, Sounds Like Violence no conoce la piedad. Aquí les va toda la letra, ni modo, jajaja, me gusta demasiado esta canción: It's Beautiful with Drunken Eyes/I Love it When You Tell Me Lies/You're the Devil in Disguise/Here's what I Get for All of My Tries/Something's Happened with My Head/Feeling Dizzy I Might Be Dead/
I'm Running But There's No End/Trying to Catch You Again and Again/You Make Me Faint/Just a Little Bit More, Blush/Just a Little Bit More, Sick/Just a Little Bit More, Tense/Just a Little Bit Moro/I Hit You Just To See You Cry/You Kill Me Just to See Me Die/Guess I Love You But I Don't Know Why/Guess It's Time to Say Goodbye/I Used to Care for Everyone/I Used to Drink Just for Fun/I Am a Desperate One/Are You Sorry for All That You've Done?

Perfect cierra The Pistol, igual que en los tracks anteriores, hasta arriba no te dejan caer, si lo hacen, es para colapsar: You Got a Perfect Life/You Got a Perfect Wife/You Got it All Made Up/Cause You Got This Perfect Plan/How Does it Feel to Be Perfect in Everything You Do? Exelente Letra!

Después de no escuchar este tremendo EP durante 2 años aproximadamente y ahora, mientras escucho de nuevo este EP por primera segunda vez, me doy cuenta, sin duda alguna, que, el mejor EP del 2004 se llama The Pistol y actualmente, The Pistol sigue estando (bastante) por encima de infinidad de bandas que son catalogadas como Post-Hardcore/Emo.

Cuando le den play, recuerden, ninguna banda de emo SUENA COMO VIOLENCIA!!

P.D. Luego posteo el With Blood on My Hands álbum de SLV que hiciera (también) un exelente debut el año pasado (2007)

Saludos!
