Canciones para una vida - Gamma Ray - Changes

 

CHANGES

 El segundo Lp de Gamma Ray mostraba en 1991 que el camino emprendido por kai Hansen lejos de la banda que le vio nacer como músico reputado iba a ser definitivo, mostrando no solo una continuidad sino además pasos adelante, innovación y crecimiento en lo que prometía ser el refugio para muchos de los seguidores de Helloween que quedaron huerfanos despues de los "Keeper". Al igual que hiciese el bueno de Hansen en Helloween, para la segunda obra de la banda dejó los microfonos para dejar paso a Ralf Scheepers por entonces aún bastante desconocido, centrandose en su trabajo compositivo e interpretativo con las seis cuerdas. "Sigh no more" hablaba del pasado en lo referente al sonido "helloweenero" y del futuro que estaba por venir, y de que manera terminaría por llegar. La obra nos ofrece grandes momentos , otro de ellos es su apertura,"Changes" muy en sintonía con el debut "Heading for tomorrow" de 1990, una canción de la que hoy dejo un enlace a youtube.

I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there's nothing that seems to help
I need to grow an island somewhere inside my head
Where nothing can disturb me,
Where I am free, where I'm forever set

Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive.

Who says: "We are not guilty"
I say: "We never know the way it goes"

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - an all day routine.

Hard to enjoy the good times,
Decay is what I feel
God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.

Newflash - under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax - and don't forget to unplug your TV set!
Sigh no more!

For you, you are not guilty,
No, no, you're not responsible at all.

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - an all day routine.
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - changing systems, still insane.
Changes - but the madness will remain.

Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
And who is the man who says, I never have to sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie!

Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.

Changes - all around me now, all inside me now
Changes - wanna cry no more, sigh no more.
