GHOST OF A CHANCE
Siempre que uno esgrime el término "Progresive Metal" automaticamente acude a su cabeza la banda "Dream Theater" quienes, por méritos propios viven desde hace mucho en la cima del subgénero, sin embargo no son, ni mucho menos, los únicos en desarrollar ese tipo de sonido con maestría. Buen ejemplo de ello son sus compatriotas "Shadow Gallery", otra banda muy en la onda de lo propuesto por "Dream Theater" y que no desmerece en absoluto en calidad tanto compositiva como de producción. Es algo aún más evidente si me refiero, como en esta ocasión, a alguno de sus mejores momentos en el conjunto de su discografía, como es el caso de este "Tyranny" de 1998. Shadow Gallery se forma en 1985 y siguen en activo aunque hace ya más de una década que no editan material de estudio. Este citado "Tyranny" de 1998 es su tercera obra de estudio y siempre la he considerado como un gran disco en su conjunto. Hoy quiero dejar del mismo una de sus canciones, concretamente este precioso tema "Ghost of a chance" del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Walking down some highway
Midnight, North Dakota
Somewhere 'round late fall
I knew that the time has come for me
I'm willing
A million stars above me
I tried to catch their fall
I tried to catch their fall
Inside I felt so empty
A stranger to this world so lost
And as the winter draws, I'm turning north
I'm leaving things behind I just don't need
The only things in life of worth are free
to anyone's who's heard the call
and turned and walked away
I've traveled too long on my own
I've got a dream of home
Safe at last
Where are all the answers and visionary wisdom
from the stately and esteemed?
Just as I thought
Disconsolate, I ponder the evil human nature
and what it really means
for the ones who paved the way
No bag of gold can save their souls
It's like they never feared
But now their end is near
The flames start leaping
Baby, don't it drop you to your knees?
The only thing in life of worth is free
to anyone's who's heard the call
and turned and run away
Despite this nasty world, I roam
Imagine going home
Ghost of a chance
