Hades - Opinionate - Canciones Para Una Vida

 

OPINIONATE 

Buceando en la historia matálica rescatamos hoy en el blog una banda estadounidense de esas que ha tenido su momento aunque para la mayor parte de la gente absolutamente desconocidos. Esta banda es de esas que se forman en el entorno de compañeros de colegio, en este caso a finales de la década de los setenta, desarrollando la mayor parte de su carrera entre finales de los ochenta y comienzos de los 2000, con 6 LP's de estudio. El sonido escogido por la banda está a medio camino del heavy power y el thrash metal, sobre todo tendiendo al thrash a medida que desarrollaban su carrera. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog una de las canciones de su segundo LP de estudio "If at first you don't succeed" de 1988, en concreto la canción que abre la obra "Opinionate" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

How 'bout we get a little honest with ourselves
Let's start to think!
We're only flaunting our lack of respect
When we argue over opinions

You!
You talk like it's a fact
I wish you could just listen to yourself and your...
Opinions!
From the way that you talk
(Opinionate!)
You'd think your word was law
A preference cannot be wrong nor right
But it's wrong to try and dispute tastes

There's so many reasons we all use to form opinions
You see we've got the right to each hold a point of view
Why fight each other, it's all in vain respect's the key
But we argue blind, each thinking he is right
We are all at fault, you know it's true
Our simple free will is completely ignored
Damned to ignorance, what will we do now?!
We've all got enough problems, why add to the strain?
A no-win situation is what we have on our hands
Over and over and over and over
We prove the fact that we can't think
Living one mulish day at a time
Convinced that our shit doesn't stink! Yeah!

This song is food for thought, we're all starving
To change your standpoint is not so alarming
The usual result of change is growth
What's your opinion we'd like to know!
Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate!
Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate! Now!
