END OF THE WORLD
Otro clásico en nuestro blog. Ya hemos hablado de este irlandés anteriormente, y como ya dijimos, hablar de Gary
Moore es hablar de los inicios de nuestro género, y me estoy refiriendo a
los años 70 cuando comienza en la música con bandas como Skid Row, (no
confundir con los Skid Row de los 80), o Thin Lizzy con los que colabora
fugazmente en dos breves periodos. Desde el comienzo encamina su
carrera en solitario, cosa que no resulta extraña si atendemos a la
calidad como vocalista y guitarrista, faceta esta última en que no
exageraremos si lo tildamos de virtuoso. 20 discos de estudio entre 1973
y 2008 descubren a un músico prolífico que comienza a flirtear con el
Blues desde muy pronto pero que ocupará gran parte de sus esfuerzos
compositivos a partir de los 90. Para hoy quiero hablar en el blog de otra de sus obras iniciales de su carrera musical, en concreto su tercer disco, "Corridors of power" de 1982, con el que entró en el top 200 de las listas de ventas americanas por vez primera en su carrera, además de hacerlo en el puesto 30 en las británicas y en el puesto 31 en Estados Unidos con el single "Don't Take Me for a Loser", uno de los temas más celebrados de esta obra del genial guitarrista Irlandés. Merece
la pena meterse en esta época del guitarrista si aun no lo has hecho
porque te sorprenderán muchos de sus discos, que han sido influencia
para guitarristas de primer orden. Dejo un enlace a youtube de su tema "End of the world", una canción que comienza con un solo guitarrero casi improvisado muy "Shred", y con la firma inconfundible de Moore.
There is only tomorrow
Nothing but sorrow waiting for you.
Don't look for any mystery
It's only history we're passing through.
The threat from the east
Growing stronger with each passing hour.
All systems are failing
And talks with the west have turned sour.
[Chorus]
The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.
Playing with weapons they don't understand.
Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.
Each day brings a new danger
Love is a stranger we used to know.
Outside, the sun goes on rising.
But we're realizing there's not long to go.
The storm clouds are forming
Take held of the warning to come.
The Kremlin has told every nation
There's no place to run.
[Chorus]
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The threat from the east
Growing stronger with each passing hour.
All systems are failing
And talks with the west have turned sour.
[Chorus]
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
Don't look for any mystery
It's only history we're passing through.
The threat from the east
Growing stronger with each passing hour.
All systems are failing
And talks with the west have turned sour.
[Chorus]
The leaders are waiting for blood on their hands.
Playing with weapons they don't understand.
Could it be this time we'll see the end of the world.
Each day brings a new danger
Love is a stranger we used to know.
Outside, the sun goes on rising.
But we're realizing there's not long to go.
The storm clouds are forming
Take held of the warning to come.
The Kremlin has told every nation
There's no place to run.
[Chorus]
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The threat from the east
Growing stronger with each passing hour.
All systems are failing
And talks with the west have turned sour.
[Chorus]
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
The end of the world.
