klausās: Nazareth - 1962 ( Glen Coe Massacre )

Mist upon the hill can remember murder,
Mist upon the hill that once flowed with blood,
Helped to cover up an approaching army,
Hid the killing lust in the eyes of men.

Sitting by the fire was a sentry sleeping,
Rolled up in their beds were children that play,
Unsuspecting what was to fall upon them,
None of them would see the dawn next day.

Bloody were the blades that fell on children,
Hate the blinding light tried to kill a name,
The mountains only know all the souls that died there,
Glen coe from that day can recall the shame.

The quiet of the night never gave them warning,
The silence of the hills wouldn’t let them know,
They’d never rise again on a mist filled morning,
Never see the sunrise above Glen Coe.

/ Nazareth - 1692 /

Ir dziesmas, kas paņem ar mūziku, ir dziesmas, kas paņem ar vārdiem un izpildījumu. Tas, protams, ir samērā subjektīvi, bet šai dziesmai piemīt pagātnes šarms, saturīgi(kas mūsdienās ir liels retums) vārdi, kas tiešām daudzko atklāj par apdziedāto notikumu, komplektā ar ģeniālu ( un ļoti atbilstošu) muzikālo pavadījumu - armijas bungas(hvz kā viņas sauc, iespējams "snare drums" vai "tenor drums"), vijoles, dūdas un, domājams, arī kaut kas čellam līdzīgs. Kombinācija izklausās drausmīga, taču nenožēlosi, ja noklausīsies.

STOMP SŪKĀ ok, nesūkā. Viņi to dara savādāk.
Iesaku iečekot, ja patīk bungas, vai gribas uzlabot omu. Tie džeki tiešām ir labi.

PS. Diži brīnišķi nāvīgi ģeniāli!

another must-hear song "Rage Against The Machine - Kick Out The Jams!" ( kas vispār ir proto-punker grupas MC5 dziesma no tālā '69 gada)
