Guns N' Roses - Estranged

AXL ROSE:

 

Y el ciudadano William Bruce Rose, Jr. o William Bruce Bailey nacido en  Lafayette, Indiana  un 6 de febrero de 1962 de madre adolescente y padre irresponsable  será más más conocido como Axl Rose, el vocalista y líder de los reformados “Guns N Roses”, que hicieron un buen a fines de los ochentas dejando unos buenos discos con un estilo guitarrero que nos remitían a los setentas.

  

Y quizás fue el grupo que más captó el espíritu de la filosofía del rock and roll y este tema de su disco Use your Illussion, “Estranged” (algo así como distanciado o perdido), quizá sea la mejor canción que haya compuesto tanto por su estructura y gran letra.

 

ESTRANGED"

 

When you're Talkin to yourself

And nobody's home

You can fool yourself

You came in this world alone

(Alone)

 

So nobody ever told you baby

How it was gonna be

So what'll happen to you baby

Guess we'll have to wait and see

ONE, TWO

 

Old at heart but I'm only 28

And I'm much too young

To let love break my heart

Young at heart but it's getting much too late

To find ourselves so far apart

 

I don't know how you're s'posed

To find me lately

And what more could you ask from me

How could you say that I never needed you

When you took everything

Said you took everything from me

 

Young at heart and it gets so hard to wait

When no one I know can seem to help me now

Old at heart but I mustn't hesitate

If I'm to find my own way out

 

Still talkin' to myself

and nobody's home

(Alone)

 

So nobody ever told us baby

How it was gonna be

So what'll happen to us baby

Guess we'll have to wait and see

 

When I find out all the reasons

Maybe I'll find another way

Find another day

With all the changing seasons of my life

Maybe I'll get it right next time

And now that you've been broken down

Got your head out of the clouds

You're back down on the ground

And you don't talk so loud

And you don't walk so proud

Anymore, and what for

 

Well I jumped into the river

Too many times to make it home

I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone

If it doesn't show give it time

To read between the lines

'Cause I see the storm is getting closer

And the waves they get so high

Seems everything we've ever known's here

Why must it drift away and die

 

I'll never find anyone to replace you

Guess I'll have to make it through, this time, oh this time

Without you

 

I knew the storm was getting closer

And all my friends said I was high

But everything we've ever known's here

I never wanted it to die
