AFTERLIFE
Toda banda tiene un inicio que demuestra en la mayor parte de las ocasiones por donde pueden ir los tiros musicales en su carrera futura. Luego muchos son los factores que deciden si las buenas cosas prometidas tan temprano son llevadas a buen término más adelante o no. En esta ocasión refiriéndome a Dream Theater es indudable que los muchos y buenos apuntes de este primer LP de la banda "When Dream And Day Unite", de 1989 mostraban a un grupo de primerísima línea que ha llegado a ser uno de los máximos exponentes en lo suyo, el metal progresivo. Ya desde tan temprano mostraban los Portnoy, Myung y Petrucci su calidad, y en esta primera obra de los estadounidenses el cantante era Charlie Dominici, antes de que otra de las señas de identidad de la banda, el cantante James LaBrie pasase a ser la cabeza visible de Dream Theater desde 1991 en adelante. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog el segundo single del primer disco de los americanos, de título "Afterlife", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
I touched with one who made me
run away from my own soul.
In this world with its many illusions
we are moving like mice through a maze.
Now I find what's left behind
has served to make me whole.
Full of doubt, deception and delusion,
seeking purpose to all earthly days.
I search within, beneath a skin
that bears both pleasure and pain.
In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze.
In the Afterlife will dark be bright,
will cold be warm, will the day have no night.
In the Afterlife will the blind have sight,
in the Afterlife.
Behind closed eyes some comfort lies,
in knowing the truth never spoken.
Through this world with us, hidden conclusion,
we'll keep moving like mice through a maze.
In the Afterlife will dark be bright,
will cold be warm, will the day have no night.
In the Afterlife will the blind have sight,
in the Afterlife.
run away from my own soul.
In this world with its many illusions
we are moving like mice through a maze.
Now I find what's left behind
has served to make me whole.
Full of doubt, deception and delusion,
seeking purpose to all earthly days.
I search within, beneath a skin
that bears both pleasure and pain.
In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze.
In the Afterlife will dark be bright,
will cold be warm, will the day have no night.
In the Afterlife will the blind have sight,
in the Afterlife.
Behind closed eyes some comfort lies,
in knowing the truth never spoken.
Through this world with us, hidden conclusion,
we'll keep moving like mice through a maze.
In the Afterlife will dark be bright,
will cold be warm, will the day have no night.
In the Afterlife will the blind have sight,
in the Afterlife.
