Mother Love Bone

Kao prvo, više neću pisati na Engleskom. Ako neko osim mene uopšte čita ovaj blog, moraće da nauči srpsko-cg-hrvatsko-bosanski (jebem li ga kako već zovu ovaj jezik kojim pišem).

A sada da se vratim na stvar iz naslova. “Mother Love Bone” je grupa koja je da tako kažem nastala kao prethodnica velikih grupa u famoznom Seattle talasu (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains …). Slušao sam ih tamo negde sredinom devedesetih, a ovih dana sam nešto poludeo pa sam skinuo ceo njihov album “Apple” preko LimeWire-a. Prošlo je 15 godina od kada je ovaj album izašao, i prosto je neverovatno koliko ova muzika i dan danas zvuči sveže, prosto savršeno, pogotovo kada se poredi sa ovim modernim sranjima. Nažalost, sva slava koju je ovaj bend stekao kratko je trajala jer je njihov frontman Andrew Wood preminuo (heroin overdose) samo par nedelja po izlasku ovog famoznog albuma. Obzirom da se baš ovih dana navršava 15 godina od njegove prerane smrti i odlaska u legendu, rešio sam da postujem ovde tekstove nekoliko njegovih pesama, koje ovih dana ponovo intezivno slušam.

This Is Shangrila

I’ve been all around the world and i wrote a million songs
it’s all a bore to me
I’ve slept in the gutter and I’ve lied to the dogs
it never bothered me
the sheriff he came to me with his little boys in blue
they been lookin’ for me
but with my CRYSTAL SHEEN GUITAR I’m another ego star
so give it to me…
get me to the stage it brings me home again
this is shangrila
I’m trippin’ on it now it brings me home again
this is shangrila
I look bad in shorts but most of us do
don’t let that bother me
I’m the FOOTBALL who is who, i don’t believe in smack
so don’t you die on me
cause LOVE is all good people need
MUSIC sets the sick ones free
without LOVE no one ever grows nothing ever sings…
this is shangrila
you have gathered for the feast
THE BREAD IS MY BODY… the wine is blood
get me to the stage it brings me home again
this is shangrila
I’m trippin’ on it now it brings me home again

Stardog Champion

San Francisco, where the flowers bloom in spring
I said, fade to winter – and see what disease brings
Augustino, with his eyes once a shining sea
I said he’s half a shadow – God don’t let that be me
I’m a Stardog Champion

West Virginia, that’s where my father lies
He was a wartime hero, the kind that money buys
It’s a diamond bracelet, for my mommy’s memory
That’s all she wrote boy – that’s all she wrote for me

I’m a Stardog Champion
I’m a Stardog
That’s right

And the children
They used to sing of love
With Grace
From the Lord above
I said the children they used to sing out loud
Sing it loud

Man Of Golden Words Lyrics

Wanna show you something like
The joy inside my heart
Seems I’ve been living in the temple of the dog
Where would I live, if I were a man of golden words?
And would I live, at all?
Words and music, my only tools
Communication

And on her arrival, I will set free the birds
It’s a pretty time of year, and the mountains sing out loud
Tell me, Mr. Golden Words, how’s about the world?
Tell me can you tell at all?
Words and music, my only tools
Communication
Let’s fall in love with music
The driving force in our living
The only international language
Divine glory, the expression
The knees bow, the tongue confesses
The lord of lords, the king of kings
The king of kings

Words and music – my only tools
Communication
