In The Shadows

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

No sleep, no sleep until I'm done with finding the answer.
Won't stop, won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer.
Sometimes I feel like going down and so disconnected.
Somehow I know that I'm haunted to be wanted.

I've been watching, I've been waiting,
in the shadows, for my time.
I've been searching, I've been living,
for tomorrows, all my life.

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In the Shadows...

They say.. that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe.
But I... I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave..
Sometimes I feel like I should go and play with the thunder.
Somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder.

Lately I've been
Walking, walking in circles.
Watching, play deaf or something.
Heal me, touch me,
feel me, come, take me higher...

I've been watching, I've been waiting,
I've been searching, I've been living
for tomorrows.

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
In the shadows...

I've been waiting.

iyi iyi daha kimse yazmamis 80'lilerin hard rock grubu oldugunu.

1986'da ilk ciktiginda Bon Jovi ozentisi diye kucunsenmislerdir, saclar giysiler melodiler cok kopya gibi gorunuyordu... O zamanlar Bon Jovi dinlemeye daha yeni baslaigimdan hemen gruba isindim, benim icin ozenti degil ayni cizgisinde dinleyebielcegim bir grup buldugumdan sevindiriciydi.

Ilk albumleri olan ''Night Songs'' albumuyle ucuz bir glam grubu havasi verseler de bir album cikarip sonecek grup olmadiklarini ispatladikklarinda da daha da sevindirik olmustum. Yine de ''Nobody's Fool'' sarkisi ne kadar sevsem de klibinde izlerken gulmemek icin kendimi zor tutardim.

Sonra ''Long Cold Winter'' albumu cikinca ne kadar iddiali olduklarini gosterdiler. Artik daha kaliteli klipler, daha iyi performans; yuzleri para gormesi yaramisti sanirim. Albumdeki her parca basarili idi. Lakin adamin yuzu hala bir subyanin yuzune makyaj yapmislar gibiydi, kose olmak kolay degil tabi :) .

''Heartbreak Station'' ve diger albumleri bu album kadar basarili ve iddiali olmasa da Hard Rock ve Glam Rock tarihine adini civilemistir.

''Long Cold Winter'' albumunden ''Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone) '', ''Coming Home'' ve ''Gypsy Road'' hala sIkilmadan dinlerim.

Samuel Barber'in ''Adagio For String'' saheseri parcalar beni, sumuk salya aglatir...

en guzel kadin solist kim diye sorarsaniz, hic dusunmeden Alannah Myles derim. Ruya gibi kadin, bunu dememe esim bile kizamaz cunku o bile guzelligini takdir eder. Abim saolsun kendi ismiyle cikan albumunu almisti, ''Black Velvet'' sarkisina hayran kalmistim. Hele video klibini gorunce de asik olmustum... O zamanlar icin Hard Rock turu diyorduk ama blues, country, jaz etkileri sarkilarindan cok kolay anlasilabilir. Yani sadece guzel degil, becerikli de.

Sonra ''Song Instead Of A Kiss''! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

offff oldurdu beni bu sarkiyla, video klibi ise dirilti dirilti oldurdu. O gozler hele... Muhtesem otesi bir sarki, sozlerin anlami da muhtesem, melodi de muhtesem, ses deseniz muazzam, soyleyen hele, klibi bile, muhtesem de muhtesem, delicisine hayran oldugum nadir kadin solistlerden biri... Kesin dinleyin derim bu sarkiyi. Adi ustunde ''opucuk yerine bir sarki'' bir dokunusa ne kadar ihtiyacimiz oldugunu ve onun yerine bize bir sarki veren bir sevkat abidesi...

Tabi ''Black Velvet'' sarkisini da unutmamak lazim.

Song Instead of a kiss

Song
Instead of a kiss
Baby this is a

Song
Instead of a kiss

For all of you who ache, who long
For nights like this

Song
Instead of a touch
Darlin' this is a

Song
Instead of a touch

To all of you who wait so long
And need so much

It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch
Instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch
In the afternoon

It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch
Instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch
In the afternoon

Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The Sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
'Love me tender' leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,

What could you do?
CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

...If you please
If you please

Her sarkisini delicisine sevmem ama ''Awake'' albumundeki ''Space Dye Vest'' sarkisi tam damardan, bence her kesin dinleyecegi seviyede... Tum ensturamanlar bir ahenk icinde, hele o piyano.

Sarkinin hikayesi sanirsam, grup elemanlarindan pianist Kevin Moore bir magazin de gordugu kiza asik olur ve sayfanin basligi sarkinin adi koyarak sozlerini doker kalbinden. Lakin Moore grupta uzun sure durmaz, ayrilir:(

Space Dye Vest

Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest

Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
Always the worst way to start

'But he's the sort who can't know
anyone intimately, least of all a
woman. He doesn't know what a woman
is. He wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real,
or to think or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you.
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when
I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance... It's our last chance...'

Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
Learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page

This is not how I want it to end
And I'll never be open again

'...I was gonna move out...ummm...get,
get a job, get my own place, ummm,
but... I go into the mall where I
want to work and they tell me, I'm,
I was too young...'

'Some people, gave advice before,
about facing the facts, about
facing reality. And this is, this
without a doubt, is his biggest
challenge ever. He's going to have to face it.
You're gonna have to try, he's gonna to have to try and,
uh, and, and, and get some help here. I mean no one can
say they know how he feels.'

'That, so they say that, in ya know
like, Houston or something, you'd
say it's a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it's a dry heat
. In Houston they say that?
Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up.
Dry until they hit the swimming pool.'

'...I get up with the sun... Listen.
You have your own room to sleep in,
I don't care what you do. I don't
care when. That door gets locked,
that door gets locked at night by nine o'clock.
If you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd better find some
place to sleep. Because you're not going to be a bum in this house.
Supper is ready...'

There's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
There's nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
There's nowhere to set my aim
so I'm everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you

I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.

And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
And I'll never be open again
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
And I'll never be open again

Dream Theather
