The Vintage Caravan - Babylon

Από το 3ο lp των εξαιρετικά ταλαντούχων ισλανδών The Vintage Caravan, που έχει τίτλο Arrival και κυκλοφόρησε στις 15 Μαΐου.

Rose Windows - Strip Mall Babylon

 



Το κομμάτι των  Rose Windows  περιλαμβάνεται στο 2ο τους άλμπουμ, που έχει τίτλο το όνομά τους. Δυστυχώς θα είναι και το τελευταίο τους αν επιμείνουν διάλυση του συγκροτήματος, που ανακοινώθηκε λίγο πριν την κυκλοφορία του άλμπουμ. Το Strip Mall Babylon είναι το δεύτερο σινγκλ από το Rose Windows.

U.F.O. - Burn your house down

Το καλύτερό τους άλμπουμ εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια έβγαλαν οι UFO με την κυκλοφορία του Seven Deadly
στις 27 Φεβρουαρίου. Το Seven Deadly κατέκτησε δικαιότατα την πρώτη θέση στα "UK Rock and Metal Charts".


There is a sunset close behind
There is a blue ,light calling me
Trouble of the heart tonight I am so blind
I can see I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drawn
Could be too long of this where the shoulder
..of new pretenders wanting to be heard and shout out loud
I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drown
Sometimes I take out this gun on the motion boulevard
I put it on my mouth … here it comes and I don’t know
Feeling is gone and I wanna .. in this life I call it tight

Drop the … I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drown
I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drown
I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drown
I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drown
I want to burn your house down
Sit right here and watch you drown

==***==

A brand new smile on a brand new angel's face.
It won't change, it won't change.
You're here to stay until your last living breath is complete.
It' won't change, it won't change.
Here she comes, my love,
with the earth beneath her feet,
my love she comes.
She cares.
I do not ask her why she cares,
she cares.
And this is not untold,
within her eyes,
spoken by her soul.
The dawn of truth will rise!
Liberty will find us,
Grown cold, and make him stoned.
The canon stops it's firing,
the unknown soldier will come home.
Faith cannot remain,
wicked words have been confirmed false.
A single drop of the rain,
the rose and and thorn...
The Rise and the Fall

The air was thick like honey
Looking from a room
The room had open windows
To let this springtime through

Evening stood by watchin'
At the side of summer's promise
The flowers in her garden
Were the envy of her friends

How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?

The smoke hung on the skyline
The city fell in silence
The sunset, ripe and mellow
Was the light to write some thoughts by

Her children watched for father
From a window in the wall
Said a prayer for grandpapa
And maybe many more

Somewhere in the distance
On the road so far away
I heard the sound of life
With all the people left for home

Three birds flew off a building
Standing proud against the sky
Many more flew with them
Spiralled upward like laughter

Faster, harder
They rose up in a column
Hundreds upon hundreds
And twice that many wingspeed

Four miles across
Stretched a million miles high
The living pulsing column
In the lady of the sky

Feathers thrashed together
Blocked in that huge swarm
I knew no-one could see it
And now that it was gone

I rubbed my eyes, but tried to find
A reason for the flight
Exodus, escape
Or was it just for me to see?

Like the mating of the earth and air
Like water is to flowers
The envy of her friends
How far are we from dying, is it nearly at an end?

How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end? ....
