Music is powerful.
Not just music, but the nostalgia.
indeed,... I could say that heavy metal music forged me in fire, during my rebel youth.
In a communist regime, like I lived for 20 years, the rock/heavy metal was the escape valve, that gave us hope...
A perfect example is this song "Blood red skies", again from JP.
It was launched exactly before the communist regime fall and the song was an eye opener for me and others.
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
The lyrics here:
"Blood Red Skies"
As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in
They'll never win
You won't break me
You won't take me
You won't make me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
just I'll face you under
blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear
I am fucking love this song!
Nobody will break me!
Yes, JP started as an intro to Black Sabbath in concerts...
Imagine me in '82, a 10 years old kid, living in a pure communist regime, getting in my hands an illegal cassette with JP - Another thing comin'...
I was already a rebel, but after listening that song, my blood start boiling...
