A falta de poco más de 10 días de la publicación de A Thousans Suns, cuarto disco de Linkin Park, ya podemos escuchar uno de los temas que formarán parte del mismo junto a The Catalyst.
La canción en cuestión es Wretches and Kings.
The Catalyst, como a la gran mayoría, no me acaba de convencer, pero no por la inclusión de ciertos sonidos electro como mucho critican, ya que si algo me impactó en sus inicios fue su fusión de estilos.
Personalmente, lo que me parece es que suena algo atropellado y falto de contundencia.
Con este Wretches and Kings parece que han querido demostrar que en su nuevo disco también se incluirán temas con claras referencias a aquel nu metal rapero más duro de los inicios.
Para ello, y con un buen resultado, se han ayudado del mítico discurso del activista estadounidense Mario Savio donde dijo aquello de Bodies Upon the Gears, Cuerpos Sobre los Engranajes.
“There’s a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odious.
Makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part,you can’t even passively take part.
And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels,upon the levers,upon all the apparatus.
And you’ve got to make it stop!” To save face, how low can you go?Talk a lotta game, but yet you don’t know.
Static on the wind, makes us all say whoa!The people up top push the people down low.
Get down, and obey every word.
Steady, get in line if you haven’t yet heard.
Wanna take what I got, don’t be absurd.
Don’t fight the power, nobody gets hurt.
If you haven’t heard yet, then I’m lettin’ you knowThere ain’t shit we don’t run when the guns unloadAnd no one make a move, unless my people say soGot everything outta control, now everybody go Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Feel alone, final blowWe, the animals, take controlHear us now, clear and tallWretches and kings, we come for you So keep face, how slow can you go?Talk a lotta shit, and yet you don’t know.
Fire on the wind, makes you all say whoa!The people up top and the people down low.
Get down, and I’m runnin’ it like that.
The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at.
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hat The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contactSo get with the combat, I’m lettin’ them knowThere ain’t shit you can say to make me back down, no.
So push the button, let the whole thing blow.
Spinning everything outta control, now everybody go.
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Feel alone, final blowWe, the animals, take controlHear us now, clear and tallWretches and kings, we come for youStill alone, fight our blowFilthy animals beat down lowSteel and bone, black and blueRun at the sunshine, we come for you From the front to the back and to side to sideIf you feel what I feel, put’em up real highFront to the back and to side to sideIf you feel what I feel, put’em up real high “There’s a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odious.
Makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part,you can’t even passively take part.
And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels,upon the levers,upon all the apparatus.
And you’ve got to make it stop!And you’ve got to indicate to the people, run in to the people on it.
And unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all! ”Vía
