Reseña
La discografía de Chris Rea presenta con este álbum de 1999 una de sus obras más sorprendentes y experimentales. A pesar de su título, The Road to Hell: Part 2 no es una secuela directa de su aclamada obra maestra. De hecho, es un trabajo que se adentra de lleno en la música electrónica, el trip-hop y los sonidos industriales. Por lo tanto, es una ruptura radical con su sonido de blues-rock característico.
En consecuencia, el álbum está dominado por los ritmos programados, los samples, los sintetizadores y las texturas sonoras abstractas. La voz de Chris Rea es a menudo procesada y se integra como un elemento más dentro de un paisaje sonoro denso y a veces opresivo.
Como resultado, el disco desconcertó a gran parte de su base de seguidores y no fue un éxito comercial. Sin embargo, temáticamente, sí conecta con su predecesor, ya que sigue explorando la alienación y la deshumanización de la vida moderna, pero desde una perspectiva sonora completamente diferente.
Es un trabajo valiente y arriesgado, el sonido de un artista que, a punto de entrar en un nuevo siglo, sentía la necesidad de experimentar con las herramientas y los sonidos de su tiempo. En definitiva, 'The Road to Hell: Part 2' es una obra fascinante y exigente, un testimonio de la inagotable curiosidad de Chris Rea.

[X]letra de Good Morning
Good morning. Good morning
I feel so good, I feel so good today
Do you know, I feel so good,
So good today
I won't let nothing get in my way
Good morning. Good morning Composición: Chris Rea, Martin Ditcham - EVer letra 6:05
[X]letra de E
E is for the comfort,
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away
Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it - Last Open RoadVer letra 3:44
[X]letra de Last Open Road
How fast can I run?
How far can I go?
These are the questions,
The young want to know
I met her in Brooklyn,
She was coming from a place
I said "where are you going to"?
She said "where have you been"?
'Cos I'm trapped in here,
Set me free
I know your world let me see
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
I know there is so much past
this place
I see it smile on your jagged,
ragged face
Something tells me,
something strong
There's a world I've heard of,
So before it's gone
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road - Coming off the RopesVer letra 5:42
[X]letra de Coming off the Ropes
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
He thinks I'm beat
I'm coming off the ropes yea
This ain't no retreat
He thinks I'm going down
For sure my head is spinning round
When I straighten up
But I'm going to knock him off his feet!
(Wow suckerpunch!
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
Yes I'm coming off the ropes
I'm coming off the ropes
He made me angry now
I only need to straighten up
I'm going to show him how
I can hear someone count to ten
Seems like a lifetime,
But I'll tell you when
I know I'm safe down here
So till then, must have been
a lucky swing
Two years ago,
I would have not let him in
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down) - Evil No. 2 5:30
- Keep on DancingVer letra 4:20
[X]letra de Keep on Dancing
I got a friend who loves the music
He got a red hot groove
But he don't use it
I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it
If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it
Keep on dancing
The experts say they really care
They don't have a clue what's out there
The teachers tell the children not to swear
And the drunken lawyes
Leaves the kid
To pop something in
To kill the fear... it's not fair
Keep on dancing
I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick
Hear what I say?
I could put something in here
You know what rhymes with it
The whole world seems to end
In c.k.e.d
You ain't fooling me anyway
Keep on dancing
Are you ready here comes
Steve Gadd
Keep on dancing
See em run for the books, cos
They just don't get it
They throw it at me
But I've already read it
Before they speak,
Some-one already said it
We can't be friends
Cos Karl Marx don't rhyme
With Mercedez-Benz
I need credit
You can shove it
You know why?
'Cos I love it!
Keep on dancing - MarvinVer letra 5:05
[X]letra de Marvin
Oh Marvin,
Seems so long
But I still remember you
I would have given everything
If I could have talked to you
For just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
The one who wanted,
The one that could not stay
With a flash of illusion
Oh the big one that got away
Just one small moment
In the quiet of the day
You took my pain away
Oh Marvin
Oh Marvin
Oh how we miss you
Oh how we wish somehow
I could hold onto your wings
And fly away
Because the pain you knew
Was the pain I knew too
Misunderstood like the
thorn of a rose
Before the summer came,
Your beauty washed away
Like pretty petals in the wind and rain - FireflyVer letra 4:40
[X]letra de Firefly
Go to that secret place
Inside your soul
Go to its deepest place
Only you and I know
Can you see her?
There she is still shining bright
When the sun goes down
See her crimson glow through
the darkest of nights
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
The firefly
She smiles and says
Everything is alright
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly
There will never be goodbye
While we still see the firefly - I'm in My Car 4:37
- New Times SquareVer letra 4:44
[X]letra de New Times Square
I'll see you round about midnight
You know I won't be late
Let's dive into this crap house
And truth hell have to wait
The truth of what has gone before
Lies bleeding on the floor
The only truth remaining still
Is that truth don't matter anymore
So meet me round about midnight
I won't let you down I swear
We'll hang on to each other
Down at the new Times Square
It seems that we can't run from this
No matter how we try
There's nothing here worth keeping
So let's kiss it all goodbye
Tell me what's worth keeping anyway
It doesn't seem to matter
What we do or what we say
Everything we had
They have now taken it all away
The truth don't matter anymore - The Way You Look TonightVer letra 5:10
[X]letra de The Way You Look Tonight
A sinner I may be
But I've just got to try
My luck with you
Secret smile upon your face
So don't look down
Don't hide your grace
Let me find you
Cos I can't get over the way
You look tonite
Blow me away
The way you look tonite
Tell me to go away
It's allright
I just wanted to say
The way you look tonite
The way you look tonite.....
