Música: In The Name Of God – Dream Theater

Dream Theater - Train of Thought

Dream Theater - Train of Thought

Depois dos atentatos às torres gêmeas, em NYC, O DT lançou 2 discos com músicas que fazem referências ao fanatismo religioso, a guerras e afins: In The Name of God (Train of Thought) e Sacrificed Sons (Octavarium). As 2 são músicas excelentes e com letras fortíssimas sobre os temas, mas na minha modesta opinião a melhor delas é a In The Name of God – música que transcrevo abaixo e convido-os a ouvir!

A música tem um feeling totalmente de acordo com a temática da letra: pegada forte, timbres pesados, melodia meio oriental e afins. Vale “perder” os 14:15!

Dream Theater - In The Name of God

Letra: John Petrucci
How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one?

Saint gone astray
With a scepter and a gun

Learn to believe
In the mighty and the strong

Come bleed the beast
Follow me it won’t be long

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Straight is the path
Leading to your salvation
Slaying the weak
Ethnic elimination

Any day we’ll all be
Swept away
You’ll be saved
As long as you obey

Lies
Tools of the devil inside
Written in Holy disguise
Meant to deceive and divide
Us all

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Blurring the lines
Between virtue and sin
They can’t tell
Where God ends
And mankind begins

They know no other
Life but this
From the cradle
They are claimed

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God
Hundreds of believers
Lured into a doomsday cult

All would perish
In the name of God

Self-proclaimed messiah
Led his servants
To their death
Eighty murdered
In the name of God

Forty sons and daughters
Un-consenting plural wives
Perversions
In the name of God

Underground religion
Turning toward
The mainstream light
Blind devotion
In the name of God

Justifying violence
Citing from the Holy Book
Teaching hatred
In the name of God

Listen when the prophet
Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God

Passion
Twisting faith into violence
In the name of God

Religious beliefs
Fanatic obsession
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?
Unyielding crusade
Divine revelation
Does following faith
Lead us to violence?

Música: Wither – Dream Theater

Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings

Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings

Antes de escrever sobre outro disco, filme ou afins, gostaria que vocês dessem uma lida na letra abaixo. Wither faz parte do novo disco do Dream Theater Black Clouds and Silver Linings. De autoria de John Petrucci, a letra é sobre o “writer’s block” (tradução ao pé da letra “bloqueio de escritor”), que é a incapacidade de produzir novas coisas, travamento esse relacionado principalmente a fatores psicológicos. Mais (e melhores) infos aqui.

Enfim, leiam a letra e ouçam a música (ao fim do post). Na minha modesta opinião é uma das músicas mais bonitas que o DT já compôs até hoje; uma melodia melancólica que chega a ser bela; o uso de acordes graves e, em sua maioria, menores, o que deixa a música com um clima bem condizente com sua temática, além de uma letra extremamente bem escrita e um solo explosivo e cheio de feeling no finzinho da música – ambas as coisas marcas registradas do JP. Vale prestar atenção na progressão melódica que é usada sobretudo no refrão. Ah, aos guitarristas de plantão: a guitarra está afinada em Bb. :)

Wither – John Petrucci

Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty space
So insecure
Find the words
And let it out

Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place
Turn the water into wine

But I feel I’m getting nowhere
And I’ll never see the end

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me

Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know

Open up open up
Don’t struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape
Still this barrenness consumes me
And I feel like giving up

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me

I wither
And give myself away

Like reflections on the page
The world’s what you create

I drown in the hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burn into the ground
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralyzed

Tear it out again
Another one that got away

So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear

I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away

Like reflections on the page
The world’s what you create

Dream Theater - Wither

Speak To Me

Acho que não há banda que mais tenha a ver comigo, rs… Vídeo no fim.

Speak To Me – Dream Theater
Letra: James LaBrie

I remember when we were so young
You embraced my fears and made me strong
Never did you actually hold my hand
Your silence no one else would understand

Did you fall?
Did you crawl?
Will you open up at all?
Did you hear
things you fear?
Did I make it clear?

Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re feeling inside
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re feeling inside

Do you like the clothes she wears today
Colliding love affair against a shade
Often times I wish she’d speak to me
Her holy open book, a world revealed to see

Did you fall?
Did you crawl?
Will you open up at all?
Did you hear
things you fear?
Did I make it clear?

Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re feeling inside
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me all you’re feeling inside

So easy, easier
If you spoke to me
So easy, easier
Speak to me

Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re feeling inside
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me what you’re thinking
Tell me all you’re feeling inside
