There ain’t no reason things are this way.
Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can’t explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Preachers on the podium speakin’ of saints in seance,
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life workin’ for something
Just to have it taken away.
People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking ‘bout nothing, not thinking ‘bout death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence.
There Ain’t no reason things are this way.
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway.
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free,I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.
Prison walls still standing tall,
Some things never change at all.
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all,
Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all.
Working your fingers bear to the bone,
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung that’s filled with coal, suffocatin’ slow.
The wind blows wild and I may move,
The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don’t need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.
Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes.
There ain’t no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can’t explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
No siempre estoy de acuerdo con la gente de PETA. Creo que los animales tienen derecho a no sufrir, pero no, no coincido con la idea de no comer carne para no matarlos (hello! somos omnivoros! nuestro organismo evoluciono para eso) o de no usarlos para experimentos científicos (en quien vas a probar? en humanos? las ratas de laboratorio salvan vidas).
Conocí a Kate Voegele porque se me ocurrió descargar unos episodios de la 5ta temporada de One Three Hill (solía ver la serie allá lejos y hace tiempo y me quedé en la 2da temp.). Ahí interpreta a Mia, una cantante y tecladista reclutada por la nueva compañia discográfica de Peyton.
No descubrí la pólvora, ya se. Debe haber un montón de artistas con el mismo estilo que Kate. Sin ir más lejos, su musica se parece a la de Anna Nalick o Michelle Branch.
Pero el disco me encantó. Su voz es dulce y las letras son simples pero a la vez dicen mucho.
So, vamos a adaptarlo. La música es demasiado… flexible. Cambia con el tiempo y con lo que nos pasa. There’s no way I can choose one song. Asi que voy a elegir un puñado, partiendo desde la que nunca me canso de escuchar, pasando por el clásico de siempre, llegando a la que tiene significado en este momento de mi vida.
