THRASH UNREAL

Hacía mucho tiempo que no ponía una canción en inglés y no lo hacía no porque no escuche música en ese idioma ni por falta de ganas, sino porque simple y sencillamente escucho mucho más música en español. Esta canción de Against Me! la escuché hace un par de años en Reactor 105 y en su momento descargué el disco pensando en poner la canción por aquí.

Nunca escuché el álbum titulado 'New Wave' y fue una de tantas cosas que se quedaron encerradas en el disco duro que dejó de funcionar hace un año. Habiendo olvidado por completo la canción, el nombre de la banda y la intención de postearla, quizá por suerte la volví a escuchar hace un par de meses -de nuevo en Reactor- y volví a descargar el álbum, mismo que resultó una muy agradable sorpresa.

'Thrash Unreal' es una de varias canciones que me gustaron de ese disco y sobre la banda -fiel a mi costumbre- puedo decir que sé nada. Lo único que conozco acerca de Against Me! es que tienen al menos otro álbum titulado 'White Crosses' y que éste salió en 2010 -el 'New Wave' es de 2007-. A ver que les parece la canción:

AGAINST ME! - THRASH UNREAL

If she wants to dance and drink all night // well there’s no one that can stop her // She’s going til the house lights come up // or her stomach spills onto the floor.

This night is gunna to end // when we’re damn well ready for it to be over // Worked all week long // now the music is playing on our time.

Yeah we do what we do // to get by, and then we need a release.

You get mixed up with the wrong guys // You get messed up on the wrong drugs // Sometimes the party takes you places // that you didn’t really plan on going.

When people see the track marks on her arms // she knows what they’re thinking // She keeps on working for that minimum, // as if a high school education gave you any other options, you know.

They don’t know nothing about redemption // They don’t know nothing about recovery // Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family.

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone

She’s out of step with the style // She don’t know where the actions happening // You know the downtown club scene // ain't nothing like it used to be.

You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world // that you could use to make the boys // believe your still in you twenties // But they keep getting younger, Don't they baby.

She’s not waiting for someone // to come over and ask for the privilege

She can still hear that Rebel Yell // just as loud as it was in 1983 // There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her // and she doesn’t care.

No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to sleep alone // No mother ever dreams that her daughter's going to grow up to be a junkie

And if she had to live it all over again // you know she wouldn’t change // anything for the world.
