'Cause love, like a blow to the head, has left me stunned

El trabajo "Furious Angels" es hermoso. Solo lo puedo describir asi. Esa combinacion de musica sinfonica y percusion me encanta. Ademas las letras! Para Rob Dougan el amor es algo doloroso. O quien mas podria comparar a alguien que quiere con una aguja sucia o al amor con una puñalada en la espalda? Ese tema es "Furious Angels":

Like a sentence of Death
I've got no options left
I've got nothing to show now
I'm down on the ground, I've got seconds to live
And you can't go now
'Cause love, like an invisible bullet,
Shot me down and I'm bleeding
Yeah I'm bleeding
And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me
Will bring you back to me
You're a dirty needle
You're in my blood and there's no curin' me
Yeah
And I want to run, like the blood from a wound
To place you can't see me
'Cause love, like a blow to the head,
Has left me stunned and I'm bleeding
Yeah, I'm bleeding
And if you go furious angels will bring you back to me
Yeah...
You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs
And there's no saving me
Yeah
And I can't get up
From this wet crimson bed that you made for me
That you made for me
'Cause love, like a knife in the back
Cut me down and I'm bleeding
Yeah I'm bleeding
And if you go, Angels will run to defend me
To defend me
'Cause I can't get up
I'm as cold as a stone, I can feel the life fade from me
Yeah
I'm down on the ground, I've got seconds to live
And what's there that waits for me?
Oh, that waits for me
'Cause love, like a sentence of death's left me stunned
And I'm reeling, Yeah I'm reeling
and if you go furious angels will bring you back to me


La version instrumental del tema fue usada en la primera pelea en "Matrix Reloaded". Y el video es impactante. Detallenlo aqui.


"Will You Follow Me" es de esos temas como para un corto. Es un instrumental aterrador. Es el tipo de tema que podria sonar cuando uno va a recoger al aeropuerto a esa persona especial que uno no ve hace eones.




"Left Me For Dead" te lleva directo a una pelicula de vaqueros. La letra es fuerte. Pero recuerden: El error no es matar a alguien sino creer que lo matamos...

You didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way
And no prayer was said
You left me for dead
You didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
And I say, I won't stop, no, 'til hell is your home
There's no where to hide, no, nowhere
You'll feel the cold of my gun at your head
You left me for dead
It's not like you stayed at my side
Or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth
To check for gold teeth
You were pawning my shoes as I bled
You left me for, left me for, left me for dead
You kept takin' your time
Until you were certain I couldn't survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
You left me for dead
And it didn't trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights, you put me to bed
You left me for dead
And I say, I won't rest my head until hell is your home
You think that you're safe, but oh no
You'll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
You left me for dead
And you stay close to me, didn't stay by my side
I was choking in blood as the laugh filled your eyes
You were a bum for each word that you said
'Cause you left me for, left me for dead
But I don't want to search no more
There's nowhere to hide
So, why don't you come quitely, my love
I wanted to say,
To say that you sure proved the death of me
'Cause now I've reached a dead end
And I can't go back
But if I'm going down you'll come with me
'Cause you didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way and no prayer was said
You left me for dead
'Cause you didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside and no tears were shed
You left for me dead
I know each word that was said
You left me for dead
You left me for dead


O que me dicen de "I'm Not Driving Anymore"? Ese tema fue usado en el primer corto de "Matrix Reloaded" tambien... Y usado en una pelicula inmunda de Stallone ("Driven") en la cual Juan Pablo Montoya tiene un cameo. Lo unico rescatable de esa cinta es que hay un pedazo en un bar donde suena Hooverphonic...

You tell me I can't slow down
You tell me where I've got to be
I speed into the darkness
But I swear that I can't see a thing in front of me
You know it's true
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
You're closing in behind me
I've got headlights in my eyes
Don't you get too close to me
Can't you see that we'll collide and end up casualties
There's just no room
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
So leave me on my own
Run me down and race away from me
I've got nowhere to go to
I don't think I can get back on my feet - back on my feet
You came right out of nowhere
Eyes wide and terrified
And I can't put my brakes on
I can't swerve to save your life 'cause then I'll lose control
And I can't choose
I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you
Get me out of harm's way
Can't you see I'm paralyzed
I want to fade out gracefully
But you keep keeping me alive to face another day
Can't you see I'm through
I'm not driving anymore - I can't keep up with you
Tell me how long have I got (I want to end this earthly toil)
'till this diet life expires
I wanna go swimming in the soil and not come up for breath
sit in God's room
I'm not driving anymore - I can't keep up with you
I'm unfit for consumption
I don't know how to play my part
I swear I'm alone in this thing
I'm a blind man driving my car into oblivion

Let it come soon

I'm not driving anymore
I can't keep up with you


Y como me di cuenta de la existencia de este artista? Facil: "The Matrix". El tema de la chica de rojo. El legendario "Clubbed To Death".



Esa percusion con esas distorsiones. Pero en la banda sonora aparecia como Rob D. Unas cuantas averiguaciones y nos dimos cuenta que ese DJ australiano era Rob Dougan. Aqui esta el video... Click derecho y son 18,9 megas en quicktime.


La pagina de Rob era hermosa. Minimalista y quizas el mejor trabajo en flash que jamas he visto. Cargaba rapidisimo (incluso sobre linea telefonica) y era una obra de arte desde el punto de vista del diseño. Ya no existe pero afortunadamente nada es anonimo ni efimero en la red. Aqui esta un mirror de la pagina en el portafolio de la gente que la diseño. Ademas usaba sampleos adecuados de sus canciones.

"There's Only Me" es otro de esos temas de despecho. Pero esto ya es como el reclamo que le haria a uno la vieja...

You're all I want
You're all I need
You're all I've got
All I see
It won't be long
'Till suddenly
You'll find he's gone
And you'll turn around and see
There's only me
For whom there's silence in your heart
There's only me
Waiting patient to the last
You wait and see
One day your love will surely start
You'll turn around
You'll find when everyone departs
There's only me
You walk in the room
You take you seat
You don't turn around
You don't see me
I'll make him go
You'll find one day he'll disappear
You'll turn around
And find that not a soul is here
There's only me


Pero si me quisiera quedar con un tema es "Nothing At All". Y me quedaria con una parte en especial. Esas cuerdas que suenan a los 4 minutos y 3 segundos.

En fin, hace rato queria hacer esta reseña de Rob.
