La canción de la semana #7 - Carry on Wayward Son (Kansas, 1976)
0 desperdicios »
¡ROCK PROGRESIVO!. Avergonzado me siento por haber descubierto este temazo en la banda sonora de la serie Supernatural, aunque juraría que ya lo había escuchado antes XP. Track nº 1 del álbum Leftoverture, que, al parecer, es la requetepolla. Prometo que lo escucharé. Info sobre el grupo, Kansas, aquí y aquí. Sobre la canción, aquí.
El vídeo es una pieza contradictoria. Cuando ves a los miembros del grupo, te preguntas cómo unos granjeros setenteros acompañados por un yeti con pandereta, son capaces de crear un tema tan cuco y progresivo. El caso es que fueron capaces y yo que lo corroboro. Quién no lo haya visto y después de esto, no lo vea... ¡nunca verá a un yeti con pandereta!.
Si tiene que ser bueno que hasta el pajas neoclásico (Yngwie Malmsteen) hizo un cover, con sus pertienentes escalas a toda hostia evidentemente.
Lyrics:
(Chorus)
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say
(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say
(Chorus)
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
(Chorus)
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say
(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say
(Chorus)
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
(Chorus)
Estos niños caprichosos, hasta canciones les hacen.
