Reseña

"Circus", de 1995, es el álbum más oscuro, denso y melancólico de la discografía de Lenny Kravitz. En este trabajo, el artista se aleja del rock de estadio de su anterior disco para sumergirse en un sonido más introspectivo y con una producción más cruda, reflejando su desilusión con la fama y la industria musical.

Por esta razón, el sonido del álbum es más pesado y con una fuerte influencia del rock psicodélico de finales de los 60. La producción es deliberadamente poco pulida, con un aire de "garage rock" que lo convierte en uno de sus trabajos más ásperos. De hecho, las letras son las más sombrías de su carrera, explorando temas de alienación y espiritualidad.

A pesar de su carácter menos comercial, el álbum contiene el exitoso single "Rock and Roll Is Dead", una crítica feroz a la industria musical que, irónicamente, se convirtió en un éxito. Ciertamente, es un trabajo que muestra la faceta más combativa y menos complaciente de Lenny Kravitz.

En resumen, "Circus" es un álbum valiente y a menudo subestimado. Es el sonido de un artista que se rebela contra su propio éxito, un trabajo que, por lo tanto, es fundamental para comprender la complejidad de su figura y su inquebrantable integridad artística.

letra de Rock And Roll Is Dead
Ooohoooh yeah

You think you're on top of the world

But you know it's really over

Runnin' round with diamond rings

And coke spoons that are overflowin'

Rock and roll is dead

But all the money in the world

Can't buy you from the place you're going to

Ooohoooh yeah

Rock and roll is dead [X3]

You can't even sing or play an instrument

So you just scream instead

Oh yeah

You're living for an image

So you got five hundred women in your bed

Oh yeah

Rock and roll is dead

But it's real hard to be yourself

When you're living with those demons in your head

Ooohoooh yeah

Rock and roll is dead [X3]

Rock and roll is dead [X7]

letra de Circus
One day while I was searching

For what I'll never find

She walked into my story

Said she could change my mind

This is the final offer

She said to make it quick

Don't lose out on this wonder

So I had to place my bet

Welcome to the picture show

Watching your life

Never know which way to go

It might not be right

So you better be strong

What kind of circus is this ?

What kind of fools are we ?

When is the final curtain ?

What can I do to set me free ?

Welcome to the real world

You better be strong

Never know which way to go

It might end up wrong

So you better be strong

Too many games we have to play

They always change the rules

You and me just trying to get along

What can I do ?

Got to be strong

She walked into my daydream

She told me how it had to be

Welcome to the picture show

Watching your life

Never know which way to go

It might not be right

Yeah yeah

Welcome to the real world

You got to be strong

Never know which way to go

It might end up wrong

Yeah yeah

Welcome to the picture show

It might end up wrong

So you better be strong

You got to be strong

You better be strong.

Beyond the 7th sky

There's a room where we are with God

Beyond the sun and moon

Where the angels will be our guard

Where the weather doesn't change

Everyday is summer

As the sands are numbered

Instead of cannonball grey

Do you think it's kinda strange ?

Or can we be lovers ?

As the spirit covers our electrified rage

Hold me mama

And we'll fly across the sea

Way beyond the moon and stars and sky

I'm talkin' bout you and God and I

Now that the time is near

I'm ready I have no fear

I know you're the one my dear

The stars will come out tonight

In time for our sacred flight

Together we'll be for life

And I will burn in your flame

Kiss me baby

Take my hand and come with me

I'm talkin'bout the moon and stars and sky

I'm talkin'bout you and God and I

Let's take it to the place where life was formed

And to the place where Jesus Christ was born

letra de Tunnel Vision
All I want,

Is all you got

Make me happy baby

And I'll make it hot

I don't need no doctor

To tell me what to do

'Cause I know I'm goin'

Straight ahead for you

I got that tunnel vision goin' through my head

I can't help myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

All that's yours

And all that's mine

We'll put together baby

And we can combine

We don't need no lawyer

Let's not make this long

We just need a love thing

That's beautiful and strong

I got that tunnel vision

Goin' through my head

I can't help myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

I can't help myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

Come on here ... yeah !

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

I can't help myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

I can't help myself all I see is red

Tunnel vision goin' through my head

Lay me down inside your flying bed

letra de Magdalene
She was only seventeen

In her prime of life she was lean

And her only dream was to be on the silver screen

She hailed from north of Baltimore

Her mama says she'd end up a whore

And she spent up all her dough at the movie show

She's all go go go yeah yeah

She wears her pants on her hips too low

She learned it all in magazines

She's Magdalene

Ain't it funny how the sun shines ?

She was only seventeen

She packed her bag and went to the scene

She said I'm gonna take on this town I'm gonna be the queen

She mingled like she'd been there before

She worked it till they hollered for more

Then she took off all her clothes

Now everybody knows

She's all go go go yeah yeah

She wears her pants on her hips too low

She learned it all in magazines

She's magdalene

Ain't it funny how the sun shines?

Oh no no, she's all go go go yeah yeah

She wears her pants on her hips too low

She learned it all in magazines

She's magdalene

Ain't it funny how the sun shines?

letra de Thin Ice
You must be walking

On shaky ground

You're always jumping

At every sound

You've been a hustler for all your days

A real motherfucker in every way

When you're a loser you're all alone

So you made up for everything

That you thought you'd lost

But you paid a cost,

Hey ...

You can live your life for so long

But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You can live your life for so long

But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You're always running

With every game

First you're pushin' coke and then you're hoin' dames

You say you can't give nothing better back

Than you got back at home

Well I tell you that's bullshit brother

And that's a heavy load

It's an illusion when you think you're the boss

Oh no no no

'Cause you really ain't got a thing

But the crumbs you're tossed

But don't you feel the frost

Hey ...

You can live your life for so long

But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You can live your life for so long

But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You can live your life for so long

But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You can live your life for so long

But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

letra de In My Life Today
When my memory starts to wander

I sit back and I ponder

How the whole world's gone asunder

I feel the rain and I hear the thunder

I was bare and I was lost

But you were there and now I'm born

You are the force and strength

In my life today

And oh how I thank you father

For giving us all over and under

You're a mystery, You're a wonder

I always knew since I was younger

I think about the way that you make it right

So full of love and sacrifice

I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

But you were right and I was wrong, yeah

'Cause I was weak but you were strong,

Ohoh hey hey yeah

You are the force and strength

In my life today

And now that the darkness has faded

I'm no longer blinded I can see, yeah

And I don't have to wait no longer

'Cause it's all about being free

Every day every way

I'm gonna get myself together

Every day any way, ohoh

You are the force and strength

In my life today, yeah

You are the force and strength

In my life today, yeah

You are the force, yeah

And you are the reign,

You are the force and strength

In my life today, yeah

You are the force and strength

In my life today

You are the force

And You are the reign

You make me try to do right

And throw away my evil ways

Yeah, yeah yeaaah oh yeah,

Come on one more time,

Take me now, oh oh oh oh.

letra de The Resurrection
If you could feel what I could feel

Well then you'd know His love is real

If you could hear what I could hear

Well then you'd know the King is near

The resurrection is here to stay

And He's coming back again

The resurrection is here to stay

And He's coming back again

To reclaim all His souls and set us free

The resurrection is here to say

That He's coming back again

Look what He's done to me

Now I am living in another space and time

He walked on the righteous path

To keep us from Satan's wrath

We are not alone

And we're going home

The resurrection is here to say

That He's coming back again

To reclaim all His souls and set us free

The resurrection is here to say

That He is coming back again

To reclaim all His souls and set us free.

The resurrection is here to say

That He's coming back again

To reclaim all His souls, reclaim all His souls,

Reclaim all His souls, reclaim all His souls, [X3]
