Álbum Nimrod de Green Day - Canciones

Nimrod

Reseña

El quinto álbum de Green Day se titula "Nimrod" y aparece en el mercado el 14 de octubre de 1997 bajo en sello Reprise Records. La banda comenzó a trabajar en este nuevo trabajo a partir de la cancelación de una gira europea, prevista tras el lanzamiento de su anterior álbum, "Insomniac".

"Nimrod" fue grabado en los estudios Conway Recording de Los Ángeles, con la colaboración de Rob Cavallo en la producción.

El álbum fue concebido como una colección de canciones sin ningún nexo común entre ellas. El resultado fue una diversidad de temas de diferentes estilos, como rock, hardcore o el folk, con temas que tratan sobre la madurez, la paternidad o reflexiones personales de los miembros de Green Day.

"Nimrod" alcanzó el puesto número diez en las listas de Estados Unidos, recibiendo críticas positivas por parte de la prensa especializada, elogiando especialmente las composiciones realizadas por Armstrong.

Se produjeron cuatro sencillos de este álbum. "Hitchin' a Ride" fue el primero de dichos sencillos, lanzado en agosto de 1997 y con producción de Rob Cavallo.

Está considerada como una de las mejores canciones de Green Day y vino acompañada de un vídeo dirigido por Mark Kohr, quien ya había colaborado en la realización de los vídeos de Green Day para sus álbumes "Dookie" e "Insomniac". Nos trae a la banda actuando en un escenario entre personajes disfrazados, simulando una época de prohibiciones.

"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", lanzada en diciembre de 1997, se convirtió en una de las canciones más populares en las presentaciones en vivo de la banda. Alcanzó el puesto 11 de la lista Billboard Radio Songs en Estados Unidos y logró casi tres millones de descargas digitales.

El tema fue compuesto originalmente por Billie Joe Armstrong en 1993 hablando sobre su novia llamada Amanda, que se trasladó a vivir a Ecuador. En el tema, Armstrong muestra su enfado hacia ella por aquella separación.

"Redundant" se lanzó el 27 de abril de 1998 y alcanzó en segundo puesto en las listas australianas, aunque en Estados Unidos obtuvo posiciones más discretas que sus predecesoras.

El tema estaba inspirado en los problemas que acuciaban el matrimonio de Billie Joe Armstrong con su esposa Adrienne. Dichas desavenencias le sirvieron a Armstrong para escribir una reflexión acerca de una relación, enfocándola desde dos puntos de vista: por un lado, la pasión y el amor que sentía por su esposa y, por otro, la rutina diaria en la que había caído su relación.

El cuarto y último sencillo de este álbum "Nimrod" de Green Day fue el titulado "Nice Guys Finish Last", con la que se abría el disco. La canción fue utilizada en la película "Varsity Blues", lo que ayudó a su promoción.

En el vídeo podemos ver a los miembros de Green Day representando en forma de parodia a los integrantes de un equipo de fútbol. En el vídeo se muestran escenas de conciertos que se nos representan como acciones del juego, mientras que el escenario en el que actúan es en realidad un gran campo de fútbol.

    letra de Nice Guys Finish Last

    Nice guys finish last
    You're running out of gas
    Your sympathy will get you left behind
    Sometimes you're at your best
    When you feel the worst
    You feel washed up like piss gone down the drain
    Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
    I'm so fucking happy I could cry
    Every joke can have it's truth but now the joke's on you
    I never knew you're such a funny guy
    Oh nice guys finish last
    When you are the outcast
    Don't pat yourself on the back
    You might break your spine
    Living on command
    You're shaking lots of hands
    You're kissing up and bleeding all your trust
    Taking what you need
    Bite the hand that feeds
    You lose your memory and you've got no shame
    Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
    I'm so fucking happy I could cry
    Every joke can have it's truth but now the joke's on you
    I never knew you're such a funny guy
    Oh nice guys finish last
    When you are the outcast
    Don't pat yourself on the back

    letra de The Grouch

    I was a young boy that had big plans
    Now I'm just another shitty old man
    I don't have fun and I hate everything
    The world owes me, so fuck you
    Glory days don't
    Mean shit to me
    I drank a six pack of apathy
    Life's a bitch and so am I
    The world owes me, so fuck you
    Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
    I had a young and optimistic point of view
    Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
    I had a young and optimistic point of view
    I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat
    Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad
    I'm always rude
    I've got a bad attitude
    The world owes me, so fuck you
    The wife's a nag and the kid's fucking up
    I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
    I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
    The world owes me, so fuck you

    letra de Redundant

    We're living in repetition
    Content in the same old shtick again
    Now the routine's turning to contention,
    Like a production line going over and over and over,
    Roller coaster
    Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
    I'm speechless and redundant
    Cause I love you's not enough
    I'm lost for words
    Choreographed and lack of passion
    Prototypes of what we were
    Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
    Taken for granted now
    Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate it
    Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
    I'm speechless and redundant,
    Cause I love you's not enough
    I'm lost for words, now I cannot speak

    letra de Scattered

    I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.
    Reminds me of the times we shared.
    Makes me wish that you were here.
    Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
    All the songs have been erased.
    Guess I've learned from my mistakes.
    Open the past and present.
    Now and we are there.
    Story to tell and I am listening.
    Open the past and present.
    And the future too.
    It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you.
    Loose ends tied in knots.
    Leaving a lump down in my throat.
    Gagging on a souvenir.
    Lodged to fill another year.
    Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds.
    Leaving myself open wide.
    Living out a sacrifice.
    If you got no one and I've got no place to go, would it be alright?
    Could it be alright?

  6. All The TimeVer letra 2:10

    letra de All The Time

    All the time, every time I need it.
    What's the time?
    I'd say the time is right.
    Here's to me.
    Let's find another reason.
    Down the hatch and a bad attitude.
    Salud.
    Wasting time down a bum fuck road.
    And I don't know where the hell it'll go.
    Heirlooms and huffing fumes,
    And I'm picking up the pace
    And I'm gonna smash straight into a wall.
    All the time.
    A "New Year's Resolution"
    How soon that we forget.
    Doing time.
    Loving every minute.
    Live it up on another let down.
    Salud.
    Promises, promises, it was all set in stone,
    Cross my heart and hope to die.
    Sugar fix, dirty tricks and a trick question.
    Guess I should have read between the lines.
    Having the time of my life, watching the clock tick.
    All the time, where did all the time go?
    It's too late to say goodnight.
    Time flies when you're having fun.
    Time's up when you work like a dog.
    Salud.

    letra de Platypus (I Hate You)

    You're rise and fall
    Back up against the wall
    What goes around is coming back and haunting you
    It's time to quit
    'Cause you ain't worth the shit
    Under my shoes or the piss on the ground
    No one loves you and you know it
    Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
    'Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want to hear
    'Cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you
    I heard your sick
    Sucked on that cancer stick
    A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
    Shit out of luck
    And now your time is up
    It brings me pleasure just to know your going to die
    No one loves you and you know it
    Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
    'Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want to hear
    'Cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you
    Dickhead, fuck face, cock smoking,
    Mother fucking, asshole, dirty twat
    Waste of semen, I hope you die hey
    Red eye, code blue
    I'd like to strangle you
    And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull
    When you go down
    Head first into the ground
    I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave
    No one loves you and you know it
    Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
    'Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want to hear
    'Cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you, 'cause I hate you

    letra de Jinx

    I fucked up again it's all my fault.
    So turn me around and face the wall.
    Read me my rights and tell me I'm wrong.
    Until it gets into my thick skull.
    A slap on the wrist.
    A stab in the back.
    Torture me, I've been a bad boy.
    Nail me to the cross until you have won.
    I lost before I did any wrong.
    I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck.
    Keep you distance 'cause it's rubbing off.
    Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell.
    Or earth with me tangled at your feet.
    You finally met you nemesis disguised as your fatal long lost love.
    So kiss it good bye
    Until death do we part.
    You fell for a jinx for crying out loud.
    I'm a curse hanging around you in the end

    letra de Haushinka

    Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name.
    I met her on the eve of my birthday.
    Did she know, did she know, before she went away, does she know?
    But it's too damn late
    This girl has gone far away.
    Now she's gone.
    All I have now is a memory to date.
    A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name.
    I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away.
    I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late.
    Will she ever find her way?
    I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?
    Yet again I'm kicking myself, and I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you.
    Waiting for you now.

    letra de Reject

    Who the hell are you to tell me
    What I am and what's my master plan
    What makes you think that it includes you
    Self-righteous wealth
    Stop flattering yourself
    So when the smoke clears here I am
    Your reject all-American
    Sucking up your social sect
    Making you a nervous wreck
    To hell and back and hell again I've gone
    You're not my type
    Not my type
    What's the difference between you and me
    I do what I want and you do what you're told
    So listen up and shut the hell up
    It's no big deal and I'll see you in hell
    So when the smoke clears here I am
    Your reject all-American
    Sucking up your social sect
    Making you a nervous wreck
    To hell and back and hell again I've gone
    You're not my type
    Not my type
    Not my type
    You're not my type
    So when the smoke clears here I am
    Your reject all-American
    Falling from grace right on my face
    To hell and back and hell again I've gone

    letra de Take Back

    You pushed me once too far again
    I'd like to break you fucking teeth.
    Stick a knife in the center of your back.
    You better grow some eyes in the back of your
    Head. I fight dirty, just like your looks.
    Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore.
    Take back, take back, take.
    The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue.
    An eye for an eye. Gun for a gun.
    Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine.
    Expect it when you're least expecting it.
    No loss of love, the smell of regret.
    Lights out
    Can't take anymore
    Shit

    letra de King For A Day

    Started at the age of four
    My mother went to the grocery store
    Went sneaking through her bedroom door
    To find something in a size four
    Sugar and spice and everything nice
    Wasn't made for only girls
    GI Joe in panty hose is making room
    For the one and only
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    King for a day in a leather thong
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me
    My daddy threw me in therapy
    He thinks I'm not a real man
    Who put the drag in the drag queen
    Don't knock it until you tried it
    Sugar and spice and everything nice
    Wasn't made for only girls
    GI Joe in panty hose is making room
    For the one and only
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    King for a day in a leather thong
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me
    Sugar and spice and everything nice
    Wasn't made for only girls
    GI Joe in panty hose is making room
    For the one and only
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    King for a day in a leather thong
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    King for a day in a leather thong
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    King for a day in a leather thong
    King for a day, princess by dawn
    Just wait 'til all the guys, just wait 'til all the guys
    Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

    letra de Prosthetic Head

    I see you, down in the front line.
    Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide makeover.
    Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numb skull.
    Self-effaced, what's his face.
    You erased yourself so shut up.
    You don't let up.
    You have a growth that must be treated
    Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
    You can smell it but you can't see it.
    No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
    You don't say.
    And you got no reply.
    Hey you, where did you come from?
    Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred bastard son.
    All dressed up, red blooded,
    A mannequin Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic.
    You're pathetic.
