Video de la semana: Gamma Ray - Gamma Ray

Desconocía la existencia de este video-clip de la banda de Kai Hansen. Aunque parezca lo contrario, la canción no es suya, sino una versión de una banda de "krautrock" de los 70, denominada Birth Control. El video va muy en consonancia con la estética del álbum donde aparecía el tema en cuestión: "Insanity And Genius" (1993). Esos disfraces de científicos locos y de hippies...



Siguiendo la costumbre, he aquí la letra del tema en cuestión:


The world's desperated with irony,hunger and corruption
The eastern world and the africans too
Are going to repeat the history of all wars
And our industry supplied them with arms
Everybody knows, but nobody can do anything against it
The fall of society is on the make

Well sometimes, sometimes I try to drop a list
I try to find out what they have done
I thought of honourable murderers you know
Like Joha's hand might wrap around us

And anytime, everywhere in the whole world
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray
Made of your existence Gamma Ray money and our failure
I've waited for - to fire Gamma Ray

Without a body I could fly around the world
Destroying arms, destroying rockets
Mix all complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn to shallow people

Everybody, everywhere in the whole world
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray...

Everybody, everywhere in the whole world
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray...


A continuación, os dejo la versión original:



La letra original, respecto a la que hay algunos cambios en la versión de Gamma Ray:

The World Is Perverted With
Irony, Hunger And Corruption
The Eastern World And The Africans Too
Are Going To Repeat The History Of Our Wars
And Our Industry Supplies Them With Arms
Everybody Knows, But Apparently
Nobody Can Do Anything Against It
For Our Society Is On The Make

Well, Sometimes, Sometimes,
I Tried To Draw Up A List
I Tried To Find Out What Death Had Done
I Thought Of Honourable Murderers You Know
Like Joha's hand might wrap around us
At Anytime, Everywhere In The Whole World

If I Were A Gamma Ray, A Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray Made Of Pure Existence
If I Were A Gamma Ray, A Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray Mighty And Unfailing
I’d Radiate Love, To Fight Misery

Without A Body I Could Fly Round
The World Destroying Arms, Destroying Rockets
Mix-Up Complexions Of The Whole Human Race
We All Would Turn Into Chocolate People
Everybody, Everywhere In The Whole World
If I Were A Gamma Ray, A Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray Made Of Pure Existence
If I Were A Gamma Ray, A Gamma Gamma
Gamma Ray Mighty And Unfailing
I’d Radiate Love, To Fight Misery
Hasta la próxima.
