iPodの中からこの1曲


GENESISの中では一番好きかもしれないこの曲。
MTV全盛時代のあんまりなMVでその歌詞にあまり興味を持たれなかった曲ではあるが、けっこうヘヴィなこと歌ってんのよね。

で、たまたま赤さんの情操教育の一環として、TuneIn RadioというアプリでRockradio.comの『Nu Metal』というchを聴いていたところ流れてきたのが上記ツイートのDisturbedのカバー。

なんだこれはということで検索を掛けたら、まぁえらく重々しい感じに仕上がっておりまして、ある意味オリジナルを超えたと言ってもいいのかもしれませんw

とはいえ、我々からするとあのふざけたMVとの差があまりに激しいため、なんか笑いがこみ上げてしまうのは良くないことなんでしょうねぇ。

ってことで、どちらのバージョンがお好みなのかはそれぞれの判断に任せましょう。



I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night.

Too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago 
When the sun was shining
The stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago 

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.

Too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.


“Land Of Confusion(混迷の地)”(GENESIS) from the album 『Invisible Touch』
