Před nahráváním With Shivering Hearts We Wait

17. prosince 2011 v 0:53 | Jourdaine Middleton (examiner.com) |  Rozhovory
Tento rozhovor vznikl v srpnu 2009 pro internetový magazín examiner.com. Originál najdete na http://www.examiner.com/metal-music-in-national/exclusive-interview-blindside. Blindside se tehdy po dlouhé době vrátili do Států, aby tu ve studiu v Los Angeles připravili své šesté album. Při té příležitosti zahráli i na dvou koncertech. Tento rozhovor vznikl před koncertem v Thomas and Mack Center v Las Vegas.

  • Většinou se o vás mluví jako o post-hardcorové skupině, ale vaše hudba přitom zabírá širší škálu různorodých stylů a žánrů. Co nejvíce ovlivňuje osobní styl skupiny?
Všichni: Wow.
Simon: To je spousta nóbl slov. (všichni se smějí) No tak… co nás ovlivňuje. Kluci?
Christian: Nic. Bereme inspiraci odevšad.
Simon: Nemáme nějaké skupiny, které by nás ovlivňovaly.
Christian: Možná podvědomě.
Marcus: Podvědomě, ale rádi to nazýváme slovem "inspirace".
Simon: Ale my žádné skupiny ani neposloucháme, ne?
Christian: No jo! To je smutný. (smích)
Simon: Máš nějakou oblíbenou skupinu, Christiane?
Christian: Ne. Musím si nějakou najít. (pauza) A myslím, že je to tak, jak jsi říkal - tohle většinou na tuhle otázku odpovídáme. Aspoň když jste na turné, tak hrajete třeba se skupinou, která to na pódiu pořádně rozjede, a to vás může inspirovat k napsání energické hudby. A jiná skupina může mít zase skvělou atmosféru a vás to tak nějak inspiruje. Ale není to tak, že byste si řekli: "Jé, oni tam mají tohle, tak napíšeme taky takovou písničku." Je to spíš jen ta inspirace. Ale zároveň vás může k psaní určitým způsobem inspirovat něco, co nemá s hudbou nic společného.

Blindside-caching

Blindside vydali své nové album With Shivering Hearts We Wait v limitované edici pouhých 50 kusů modrých vinylů. Tato speciální nahrávka se ovšem nedá koupit, může se pouze najít. Na stránce http://www.blindsideshiddentracks.com/ zveřejnila skupina mapu míst, kde se dají balíčky, které kromě vinylu obsahují i poukázky na slevy, najít. Bohužel pro nás, v Americe. Až na jeden balíček, který byl umístěn v Etiopiii :) Každopádně to byl od Blindside skvělý a originální nápad - a na své facebookové stránce se vyjádřili ve smyslu, že možná ještě někdy něco podobného připraví i v Evropě.

There Must Be Something In The Wind

There must be something in the wind
That wants me to die
To leave all this behind
To let go of these chains and let them fall
It's like I've always known you and still don't know who you are

And I can hear the thunder roaring from a distance
And it's me on the shoreline
Slowly but surely you're moving closer
And you're pushing the water
Yes you're pushing the water
Please come wash over me

Waves arrive like thunder
I'm not scared to end up under
Wash away my heartache that's creeping in
I'm not scared to loose my skin

The sky is electric tonight
My savior from myself is on the move
My long lost love
My redeemer
Come and remind me
The curse is broken
Heavy burdens are lifted off
And my soul is light as a feather in your storm

I'm waiting for you
I always have
Waiting for you

Cold

You put a little black flower in my left shirt-pocket
I still feel it now as something heavy
But it's losing leaves somehow
We wait for nothing now
We were never really close
Don't pretend there's not ice in your blood
So please hush we're at the edge
One of us needs to jump or push

And so your eyes start running but your face looks cold

Because it's just cold when it's not right
And it's a heartache that you never could satisfy
It's just cold with frozen kisses and a breath of ice
It's just cold when it's not right
Is this a goodbye?

Now you're holding my hand until your knuckles are turning white
On my skin there's frost and yes
I feel sorry but for time lost
Spent in your cold embrace
I didn't chose this but it's the time and it's the place
We're at the edge of the cliff
One of us needs to jump or push
Your eyes §tarts running but your face looks old

This could be a good
A real good
A goodbye

Withering

Are you sure I'm what you came for
Are we playing still?
You already know my secret hideout
This is hide-and-seek with no point whatsoever

Hey I'm still glorious
But I'm withering like roses in the fall

But it's you alone I wait for
When I run to the hideout
You're the inception of beauty
I lay in tar and roll around in feathers
Hide and seek with no point whatsoever

And we break our silence with a toast that shatters glass
And with a shard you §lab my heart out and it's grey and out of shape
I feel its growing back inside as you hold my hand
I said move, you §land right in my shame
But you stand your ground

Say that I'm still glorious
Say that I'm not withering like roses
Hey, I'm still glorious
While I'm withering like roses in the fall

You put a little black flower in my left shirt-pocket
I still feel it now as something heavy
But it's losing leaves somehow
We wait for nothing now
We were never really close
Don't pretend there's not ice in your blood
So please hush we're at the edge
One of us needs to jump or push
And so your eyes starts running but your face looks cold
Because it's just cold when it's not right
And it's a heartache

Bring Out Your Dead

14. prosince 2011 v 21:26 |  Texty
Heavy like 1000 pounds
What if I told you now
To carry the smell of death is harder than it sounds
Heavy like 1000 pounds
I bite my lips and look around
You said:
"-My dear, it smells like corpse in here"
Bring out your dead

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

Who am I without my skeleton friend?
Without the rules I bend
Can these broken bones mend?
Scared if I let it all out
You will know what I'm about
And the void, what do I fill it with
Once that corpse is gone

Bring out your dead
Bring out what's dead

When I let this corpse out
He will bite your soul
It will make you bleed
When I let this corpse go
Will you do the same, will you let him go?
Let go

Look me in the eye and let me know I'm not dead

Our Love Saves Us

Don't you worry it's fine
Your hand isn't letting go of mine
If worse comes to worse
I'll hold tight even ifit hurts
And now the ground is shaking
It's trying to tear us down
But we won't be forsaken
Because we know what we've found

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone but you know we won't fall

Do you remember that promise?
Remember when it was new
How deep into you I fell

I believed in us then and I still do
But now the ground is shaking and we know what we found
Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall

Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone but you know we won't fall
Save us
Save us now

With shivering hearts we wait
We watch the sky
We hesitate
With shivering hearts we wait
I'm still holding on

Bloodstained Hollywood Ending

Unpack that suitcase it's not time to leave
Unpack that broken heart
There's a window throw it out
It's a good way to §tart

You're half-asleep I'm wide awake
You're frozen is the ice about to break
And I'm done tiptoeing around you
I cross my heart and hope to die
You gave your all and so did I
Close your eyes and see
This is a blood-stained Hollywood ending

This is like a run to the airport movie
Can I catch you before you leave?
This is the end of the line
The choice is yours - Recent or receive

It's All I Have

Wake up the sun goes down
This day was shorter
Another day goes by
Another day passes by

Wake up and run for the crown
Not now but soon we'll have a daughter
Another day goes by
Another day passes by

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this pocket full of holes
And I know it's all I have
But you look beautiful in that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on that necklace of peace

Wake up my heavy heart
Did I just swallow a stone?
This day would not go by
Another day on standby
I woke up out of breath
Stuck in a dead zone
Another day to search the sky
Another day with nothing but clouds

I know I can't make you wear it
But I sure will try
