LADY OF MARS
De nuevo un paseo por los inicios de nuestro sonido para rescatar a otra de esas bandas que se quedó en el camino y que además se puede sacar del eterno movimiento de la NWOBHM. Se trata de los británicos Dark Star, un grupo que se mantuvo una década en la escena en activo, periodo durante el que editaron dos LP's y un EP de un heavy metal incipiente y del todo interesante, como decía más arriba enclavado dentro del sonido de la NWOBHM, con muchos de sus clichés, con algún que otro guiño al sonido hard-heavy, un tanto Rainbow o Thin Lizzy si se quiere, de hecho al separarse la banda la mayoría de los miembros se enrolaron en un proyecto enfocado al blues. Dark Star comienza su andadura en 1978 bajo el nombre de "Berlin" pero a comienzos de los 80 lo cambian a "Dark Star" con el que funcionarían el resto de su carrera. Hoy me quiero referir a su material primero y quiero dejar en el blog una canción extraída de su EP "Lady of Mars" de 1980, en concreto el que da nombre al EP, "Lady of Mars" que después se incluiría también en su primer larga duración "Dark Star" de 1981, una canción este "Lady of mars" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Well if you love me for beauty
I’ll stick with the sun cause at least it will warm my soul
If you love me for youth
Better tell you the truth i am old
And if you love me for money
Then get out of my way cause I’ve got little enough as it is
But if you love me for love, then honey I am yours
I’ll meet you at midnight forever is not too far
Far away from the earth light
I’ll take you away to the stars
My lady of mars
My lady of mars
Stealer
Stealing the time that we saw it was mine but the earth craft is down as we see
Stealer
Indulge the hand that he can’t understand anyway
Lier
The lies that could slip from your lips that can cause all my pain
Freedom
What you desire
There is no reason why you should stay
I’ll meet you at midnight for ever is not too far
Far away from the earth light
I’ll take you away to the stars
My lady of mars
Sunset
Is quietly fading
As your thoughts give way
To the peaceful sound of the night
And in your head someone saying I love you
The journey is on the beginning
And still in my mind I can hear someone singing
Above all the things that they said
Life was bringing to you
Midnight while your troubles must sleeping
We’ll be well on our way to the dawn
Will be allright with the future before us
And noone will know where we gone
Hold tight the starships are leaving
And I m still to see
That myself and a raven in
Starlight there’s just me
There’s just you from now on
My lady of mars
My lady of mars
I’ll stick with the sun cause at least it will warm my soul
If you love me for youth
Better tell you the truth i am old
And if you love me for money
Then get out of my way cause I’ve got little enough as it is
But if you love me for love, then honey I am yours
I’ll meet you at midnight forever is not too far
Far away from the earth light
I’ll take you away to the stars
My lady of mars
My lady of mars
