BLOOD BROTHERS
Hoy quiero hablar de otro de los discos de los míticos Maiden, en esta ocasión "Brave new world", del año 2000, un disco en el que la banda vio como dos de sus hijos pródigos volvían a engrosar sus filas, Bruce Dickinson a la voz, ausente de la banda desde 1993, y Adrian Smith a la guitarra, quien abandonó la compañia de los Maiden allá por 1990. Tras el periplo musical de la banda en los discos "The X Factor" y "Virtual XI", volvía Dickinson a darnos un sonido más acorde vocalmente a lo que estabamos acostumbrados bajo las siglas de "Iron maiden", y si a esto unimos la guitarra de Adrian Smith la crítica internacional y los fans acogieron la obra positivamente, y no es para menos, sobre todo comparándola con la era Blaze Bayley, en que no solo la personal voz del cantante podía chocar con lo que estábamos acostumbrados a escuchar en Maiden, sino que las propias composiciones se hicieron más experimentales en ambos discos, y este "Brave new world" retornaba a un sonido más en la onda clásica de "Iron Maiden", aunque desde luego no a la gloriosa década de los 80 de la banda, sonido que por desgracia ya no volverá, (espero equivocarme). En fin, quiero dejar hoy en el blog uno de mis temas favoritos de esta obra, "Blood Brothers", compuesto por Steve Harris, y del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
And as you look all around at the world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we have learned
Not if you're taking a look at the war torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies are burned
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
When you're floating on all the emotion you feel
And reflecting the good and the bad.
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate's own hand
We're blood brothers. We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
When you think that we've used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right,
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life…
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
And as you look all around at the world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we have learned
Not if you're taking a look at the war torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies are burned
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
When you're floating on all the emotion you feel
And reflecting the good and the bad.
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate's own hand
We're blood brothers. We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
When you think that we've used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right,
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life…
