und3rmuzik #11 playground martyrs
no excelente slope, steve jansen propõe-nos duas versões de playground martyrs, belíssima balada em ritmo lento e melancólico, escrita em colaboração com david sylvian. A versão masculina, cantada por david sylvian, surge aproximadamente a meio do alinhamento. a feminina, cantada por nina kinert, cantora sueca a ter bem debaixo de olho, encerra o disco com maestria. a canção acaba, assim, por marcar toda a estrutura de slope, como se encerrasse os lados a e b de um hipotético vinil.
you run to the gates but you'll be marked late
it's for your own good, it's for your own good
you're likely to make the grandest mistake
you suffer alone in the skin and the bone
we'll sharpen those new sets of arrows
for the next generation of playground martyrs
join in the game of intolerable shame
'cause everyone shares in the sins of their fathers
schoolbell rings, single file in
trade you my "unhappily ever after"
so bring out those things to hammer the wings
of the next generation of playground martyrs
