Sobre el álbum

El álbum Something Inside So Strong, de 1989, es un trabajo que, como su título indica, está lleno de canciones con un mensaje de fuerza interior y superación. Es un disco de un tono inspirador y optimista.

La canción titular, una versión del tema de Labi Siffre, es un poderoso himno de resistencia que se convirtió en un estandarte en la lucha contra el apartheid en Sudáfrica. La interpretación de Kenny Rogers es de una gran carga emocional.

El resto del disco sigue esa línea de canciones con mensaje, combinando el country, el pop y el góspel. "Something Inside So Strong" es un trabajo con una gran conciencia social, una obra que busca inspirar y dar fuerza a quienes la escuchan.

  1. Planet Texas4:51

    Letra

    They rode like they was Rangers When they came out of the skies They had high-tech horses With beacons in their eyes My gun was cocked and ready When I looked into their face I seen they weren't just common buckaroos Born of the human race No, sir, these cowboys came from space Their shootin' irons shot laser light And their spurs was anodized Bandannas caked with stardust And their jeans was pressurized Well, he handed me a halter And said, "Tighten up the girth" But before I hit the saddle We were miles above the Earth And I mean miles above the Earth Yippie-aye-ay-e I seen London, Paris Budapest, Kashmir and Tokyo And there ain't no sight Like a desert night looking down on Mexico Through the moons of Mars and Jupiter 'Round Saturn's rings we rode Past the frozen plains of Pluto Where even the sunshine's cold Man, I do mean cold Then our interstellar stallions Sailed through the starless void There was nothing to miss in that emptiness Not even a stray asteroid 'Til we picked up the trail of a comet's tail Man, you can't even dream that far And the gallopin' beat Like the rhythm of an old catgut guitar Just a-strummin' from the distant star Yippie-aye-ay-e Well, it could've lasted minutes Or a hundred thousand years But they got me down I was safe and sound And it hadn't even popped my ears And they rared back on their broncos And they shot a bolt of light I knew they were the good guys Yes sir, you got it right 'Cause their cowboy hats was white So ask 'em as they pulled their reins Towards the settin' sun "Before you go, I'd like to know Just where you boys come from?" Well, they opened up a star chart and said "Right here where this 'X' is It's the biggest place in outer space A planet known as Texas." Yippie-aye-ay-e Yippie-aye-ay-e Yippie-aye-ay-e Yippie-aye-ay-e
  2. (Something Inside) So Strong5:00

    Letra

    The higher you build your barrier The taller I become The farther you take my rights away The faster I will run You can deny me You can decide to turn your face away No matter 'cause there's, Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You thought that my pride was gone, oh no There's something inside so strong Something inside so strong. The more you refuse to hear my voice The louder I will sing You hide behind Walls of Jericho Your lies will come tumbling Deny my place and time You squander wealth that's mine My light will shine So brightly it will blind you Because there's, Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You thought that my pride was gone, oh no There's something inside so strong Something inside so strong. Brothers and sisters When they insist we're just not good enough Well we know better Just look 'em in the eye and say We're gonna do it anyway. We're gonna do it anyway. We're gonna do it anyway. Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You thought that my pride was gone, oh no There's something inside so strong. There's something inside so strong. There's something inside so strong. Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong.
  3. If I Knew Then What I Know Now3:54

    Letra

    Well, hello girl, tell me, how have you been? By the way, I'll never make the same mistake again And you know girl, it's been a long hard time Nothing like back when you were mine. And if I knew then what I know now I'd have found the way To make things work out somehow I'd have held you tight I'd have treated you right If I knew then what I know now. It's a crazy world for a boy and a girl Harder than it is for a woman and a man Oh, it was easy then just to push you away Guess I never knew how I feel today. If we knew then ... You know I do things differently If you ever come back to me If we could just go back in time There's no broken heart Girl, we're at the start this time.
  4. One Night4:38

    Letra

    Call me a fool, send me away I've got to say it's you I adore I'm longing in love, falling apart I follow my heart straight to your door. Face to face with all honesty I will be grateful if you'd give to me Just one night to lay in your arms Give me just one night could it be that I was born To make every dream you ever had come true In just one night, oh one night with you. Standing this close the sound of your voice Leads me no choice I offer my love Am I so wrong to think you might fall 'Cause baby you're all I can think of. Face to face with all honesty I will be grateful if you'd give to me Just one night to lay in your arms Give me just one night could it be that I was born To make every dream you ever had come true In just one night, oh one night with you.
  5. There Lies The Difference4:51

    Letra

    I don't have to go out tonight I don't have to guess who I'll see I haven't been lonely Since the first time we met Now I know I'll never be. 'cos I really care about you and you really care about me and there lies the difference between now and when I was free. This time love won't go away The future's so easy to see And there lies the difference Between now and what used to be. There's no substitute for the truth And I know you come straight from the heart And our love stands out in the light of the day Not only in the heat of the dark. 'cos I really care ... If I could step back in time With offers of you to be mine I'd only step back As far as when you came to me. And this time love won't go away The future's so easy to see And there lies …
  6. If I Ever Fall In Love Again3:36
  7. When You Put Your Heart In It3:50

    Letra

    We knew it was one in a million It was such a long shot Somehow we've got here together And who knows what will happen Anything can happen If we keep getting better And we keep on believing. When you put your heart in it It can take you anywhere Who's to say that we can't make it It's the same dream that we share When you put your heart in it It can take you anywhere. This road was so long and winding It was such a hard road But we can't stop once we had started We were always getting closer Suddenly it happens A chance in a lifetime Now we're gonna take it We can make it. When you put your heart in it It can take you anywhere Who's to say that we can't make it It's the same dream that we share When you put your heart in it It can take you anywhere...
  8. The Vows Go Unbroken (Always True To You)3:31

    Letra

    From the moment I met you, You made my life complete. This wave of pure devotion, Has swept me off my feet. And tonight when we kissed, You still took my breath away. It goes without saying, But I'll say it anyway. The vows go un-broken And you still know I do. Love, keep and honor Always true to you. Though I have been tempted, Oh, I have never strayed. I'd die before I'd damage, This union we have made. The vows go unbroken And you still know I do. Love, keep and honor Always true to you. I knew from the first that for better or worse, I'd stand by you All my life. And the vows go unbroken And you still know I do. Love, keep and honor Always true to you. Love, keep and honor Always true to you...
  9. Maybe3:29

    Letra

    Maybe, is a word that hangs between us It's the thing to say when all else has failed Maybe we failed, maybe Maybe, but I can't bare say it's over Til the love we found is hopelessly lost Maybe I could, maybe not. Our lives might have come unwound But have we've come so far That we can't turn the hurt around Our hearts still remain the same Oh, first to wonder why Oh, ask to make a change. But maybe Maybe, if we hold on to tomorrow Just hold on, just hold on Then we just might find a feeling again Not let it end. Maybe, it's a word that hangs between us Maybe, time would help the wondering to stop Maybe we will know, maybe not Maybe, maybe.
  10. Love The Way You Do7:49

    Letra

    I've loved you all my life in all my dreams So why am I surprised here with me That's how it should be But you look in my eyes, turn away You can see inside, I'm afraid Afraid of feeling. I don't know what to say I don't understand It's not the way I planned. I can't stay, I can't leave I'm torn between two people I need One of them is you, the other is me We come from different world, different stars But when you're lying here in my arms All I wanna do is love the way you do All I wanna do is love the way you do. How can I go on but nothing's changed You and I both know the choice was made When I first touched you Now if I stay or leave it's all the same Awake or in my dreams I see your face I will love you I'm always in control now here I stand A heart is in my hand I can't stay, I can't leave I'm torn between two people I need One of them is you, the other is me We come from different world, different stars But when you're lying here in my arms All I wanna do is love the way you do All I wanna do is love the way you do.
