Álbum Road to Hell de Chris Rea - Canciones
Road to Hell
Reseña
La discografía de Chris Rea presenta con este álbum de 1989 su obra maestra absoluta y el disco más exitoso y aclamado de toda su carrera. 'The Road to Hell' es, de hecho, un trabajo conceptual brillante que utiliza la metáfora de un atasco en la autopista M25 de Londres para realizar una crítica mordaz a la sociedad moderna, la alienación y la pérdida de valores. Por lo tanto, es su obra más oscura, política y cinematográfica.
El álbum arranca con la icónica "The Road to Hell (Part 1)", una pieza atmosférica que culmina con un sermón apocalíptico. A continuación, enlaza con "The Road to Hell (Part 2)", un blues-rock con uno de los riffs de guitarra slide más reconocibles de la historia. Esta apertura, en consecuencia, establece un tono sombrío y tenso que se mantiene a lo largo del disco.
La producción es exquisita, creando un paisaje sonoro que evoca la lluvia, el asfalto y las luces de neón. La voz de Chris Rea, más grave y rasgada que nunca, es la del cronista perfecto para este viaje al infierno moderno. Además, el álbum también contiene la hermosa balada "Tell Me There's a Heaven", una de sus composiciones más conmovedoras.
Como resultado, 'The Road to Hell' no solo fue un número uno en el Reino Unido, sino que también se convirtió en un clásico en toda Europa. Es un disco que demostró que la música pop-rock podía ser también un vehículo para la reflexión y la crítica social profunda. En definitiva, es una obra cumbre, un trabajo atemporal que consolidó a Chris Rea como uno de los grandes artistas de su generación.

[X]I come home from workletra de You Must Be Evil
I see my little girl
She's crying on the floor
She's been watching that TV
This ain't late no, this ain't even dinner time
To show them things on that screen
What's wrong with you
You must be evil
Oh I know why you do it
You're just looking for sensation
You got a hold of something
You tell us that it's news
You don't have to show that stuff
Can't you show us some respect
You can tell us we don't need to see it
We don't need those cheap effects
You must be evil
You must be evil
I wish you were here
You don't have to show that stuff
You ain't fooling no-one
You made my little girl cry
I wish you were here
We all know why you do it
Sometimes you even slow it down
You're giving out some bad ideas here
I can't believe that you don't realise
You must be evil - Texas 5:09

[X]Well we come down to the valleyletra de Looking for a Rainbow
Yea we're looking for the honey
I see a rainbow
I say that's the land of milk and honey
Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow
Well we come down to the valley
Got our babies in our arms
Yea we're Maggie's little children
And we're looking for Maggie's farm
Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow
Well we come down to the valley
We ain't far away no more
You can't leave us dying this time
'Cos we're all around your door
Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow - Your Warm and Tender LoveVer letra 4:32
[X]I was lost in the deep and darkest nightletra de Your Warm and Tender Love
No direction, not a single hope in sight
When I saw a fire burning brightly through
The storm that raged above
In the shadows of your warm and tender love
I was a stranger to the land and life around
In constant danger, being hurt by what I found
And of hurting what I treasured most
Foolish eagle never dove
Till I fell upon your warm and tender love
In the shadows of your warm and tender love
Now I gaze in peace at the lonely sky
That is raging high above
Safe in the shadows of your warm and tender, tender love
In the shadows of your warm and tender love - DaytonaVer letra 5:04
[X]Diamond dream when the sun don't shineletra de Daytona
I close my eyes to see
Twelve wild horses in silver chains
Callin' out to me
Ooh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Ooh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Now she ain't easy
So you take good care
Or she will scream down on your lust
She can please you
Like no other
Or she can leave you eating dust
Ooh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Burning passion
Light my day
Let me sit inside your wonder
Cloudless daydream
Oh dance of dances
To have tamed the sound of thunder
Ooh Daytona
Shine your light on me
Ooh Daytona - That's What They Always Say 4:27
- I Just Wanna Be With YouVer letra 3:39
[X]I just wanna be with youletra de I Just Wanna Be With You
No matter what they say
Just wanna be with you
Every night and every day
Cold nights, dark days
I wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Till the final curtain falls
Just wanna be with you
Then know nothing at all
Cold nights, dark days
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
I know there's a price to pay
For doing what we do
But I just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you
Don't wanna hold you down
Whatever that you do
Shine on, sweet angel
'Cos I just wanna be with you
I wanna be with you - Tell Me There's a Heaven 6:00
