We are scientists

No recuerdo cuándo conocí esta banda, pero es bien interesante oírlos.
We are scientists es un grupo estadounidense formado en el año 2000, y se caracterizan por su humor a la hora de promocionar sus álbumes o conceder entrevistas. Pueden verificarlo viendo su página oficial. Y éste es su mySpace.

Escuchemos.

We are scientists - Inaction

Call on the fates, this'll take a second,
while I fall on my face, like everyone else,
and we can talk all we want, but all I can say is that
"I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but I'm never gonna do it again"

Counting all my relevant friends,
well this keeps coming up again and again,
if everybody knows how it's gonna end,
why doesn't someone stop me?
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor,
for the sixth or seventh night in a row,
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes,
someone stop me?

It's hard to rely on the rhythm section,
when they're all packing up
and they're heading for the exit,
yeah we're all about the same,
a bunch of slaves to fashion,
who are tall, dark and scared,
and just praying for some action.



How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
(how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)
Well, how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
(how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)

(inaction, inaction)
I'm counting all my relevant friends,
(inaction, inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again,
(inaction, inaction)
if everybody knows how it's gonna end,
(inaction, inaction)
why doesn't someone stop me?
(inaction, inaction)
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor,
(inaction, inaction)
for the sixth or seventh night in a row,
(inaction, inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes,
(inaction, inaction)
someone stop me.
(inaction, inaction)

(inaction, inaction)
I can't keep counting on my relevant friends,
(inaction, inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again,
(inaction, inaction)
if everybody knows how it's gonna end,
(inaction, inaction)
why doesn't someone stop me?
(inaction, inaction)
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor,
(inaction, inaction)
for the sixth or seventh night in a row,
(inaction, inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes,
(inaction, inaction)
someone stop me.
(inaction, inaction)

De We are scientists recomiendo fuertemente Nobody move, nobody get hurt, It's a hit y The great scape.

Rusted root

¡Cuánto tiempo sin escribir!

Pero tengo un pequeño aliciente: hace apenas unas horas leía, en cierto sitio que no voy a mencionar, que (por lo menos) en España se declara legalmente muerto a alguien que no da señales de vida durante dos años.

Enhorabuena - seguimos aquí.

Esta mañana, y lo he hecho ya varias veces, me pregunté acerca de la utilidad del karaoke inteligente de teclado bloqueado. Y la verdad es que, sin darme cuenta, he estado escuchando estos días la canción que más le da significado a esta sección.

Muchos de ustedes quizás no conozcan al grupo estadounidense Rusted root. Bueno, yo tampoco lo conocía. Pero si alguna vez se vieron la película Ice age (que entre otras cosas, ya va para su tercera parte) recordarán el tema que escucharemos a continuación, por cortesía de deezer.com, ya que YouTube informa que 'este video no está disponible en tu país.

Bueno.

¿Qué tiene de interesante esta canción? Si buscan la letra, encontrarán cerca de tres o cuatro versiones distintas de los versos menos entendibles para el oído hispano, que canta Michael Glabicki, voz principal del grupo. Pues bien, para resolver este problema encontré la solución más convincente (aunque todavía tengo dudas) en esta página, cortesía de un usuario que comenta. En la letra que sigue, entonces, /chant/ representa esos extraños sonidos que varios quieren interpretar como palabras, pero que muy probablemente no lo sean. Aquí vamos:

Rusted root - Send me on my way

On my way,
on my way,
on my way,
on my way.

I would like to reach out my hands,
/chant/ /chant/ (on my way, on my way)
(on my way, on my way)
nobody safe, nobody on. (you know what they say about the young)

Well, pick me up with golden hand,

/chant/ /chant/ (on my way, on my way)
nobody safe, nobody on. (you know what they say about the young)

Well, I would like to hold my little hand,
how we will run we will, how we will crawl we will,
I would like to hold my little hand,
how we will run we will, how we will crawl...

Send me on my way
(on my way)
send me on my way
(on my way)
send me on my way
(on my way)
send me on my way...
(on my way)

Send me on my way
(On my way)
send me on my way
(On my way)
send me on my way...
(On my way)
mmmh...
(on my way)

I would like to reach out my hands,
/chant/ /chant/ (on my way, on my way)
(on my way, on my way)
nobody safe, nobody on. (you know what they say about the young)

Now, pick me up with golden hand,
/chant/ /chant/ (on my way, on my way)
nobody safe, nobody on. (you know what they say about the young)

Well, I would like to hold my little hand,
how we will run we will, how we will crawl we will,
I would like to hold my little hand,
how we will run we will, how we will crawl...

Send me on my way
(on my way)
send me on my way
(on my way)
send me on my way
(on my way)
send me on my way...
(on my way)

Send me on my way
(On my way)
send me on my way
(On my way)
send me on my way...
(On my way)
mmmh...
(on my way)

Well, I would like to hold my little hand,
how we will run we will, how we will crawl we will,
I would like to hold my little hand,
how we will run we will, how we will crawl...

Send me on my way,
send me on my way,
send me on my way... on my way.
Send me on my way,
Send me on my way... uuh...

I would like to reach out my hands,
/chant/ /chant/ (on my way, on my way)
(on my way, on my way)
nobody safe, nobody on. (you know what they say about the young)

¿Qué tal les pareció?

Es difícil decir si Rusted root sigue junto como grupo. Parece que de vez en cuanto tocan juntos, pero si miran su página de Wikipedia, verán que el grupo no tiene una página propia, sino que se enlaza a seis páginas diferentes, de varios de sus integrantes. De cualquier forma, este es su MySpace.
