THE LAST IN LINE
Otro nombre que desde luego no merece de presentación alguna es DIO, la banda ligada al artista, uno de los grandes vocalistas, por aclamación popular e unánime, de esto del heavy metal, y además por méritos propios, dedicación y calidad continua, casi podríamos definir a este cantante como un ejemplo de darlo todo desde el principio al fin, de sus discos y de su carrera. Siempre ocurre además, que cuando el artista desaparece, cuandi¡o uno se da cuenta de que ya no va más, que todo lo que hay es lo que hay y que por desgracia ya no habrá más, todo toma una nueva dimensión y se aprecia más lo que fue Ronnie James Dio. El caso es que hoy quiero dejar en el blog un tema de su segundo LP bajo su nombre, DIO, "The Last In Line" de 1984, una obra claramente hija de su tiempo, e hija de sus músicos, y hablando de Dio es sinónimo, como decía más arriba, de calidad, de darlo todo al máximo nivel desde el minuto uno hasta el 41 en este caso, siempre acompañado por un acierto compositivo algo superior al ya espectacular debut del año anterior "Holy Diver". Destacable pues obra en total, de la que hoy quiero dejar en el blog la canción que da nombre a la misma, "The Last In Line", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home
We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down
We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You know you can release yourself
But the only way you go is down
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home
We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down
We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You know you can release yourself
But the only way you go is down
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
