China Crisis, una banda con hermosas melodías

Portada del LP Working with Fire and Steel – Possible Pop Songs Volume Two (1983) del grupo China Crisis

Me gustaría compartir con los pocos que pasan por mi cuaderno algunas melodías de uno de mis grupos favoritos, China Crisis. Las canciones son: Tragedy and Mystery, Wishful Thinking y Working with Fire and Steel, todas ellas pertenecen al álbum de 1983: Working with Fire and Steel – Possible Pop Songs Volume Two.

Tragedy and Mystery 

Winter displayed in a snow white haze

fires burning brightly in the night

Tragedy and mystery

open your mind and you will see

From waterfalls I hear romantic calls

feather in a ray of sunlight

Tragedy and mystery

open your mind and you will see

Your world is changing though you cannot see

and there's no room for secrecy

Your world is changing faster everyday

and there's no truth in what they say

Two by two

my heaven made blue

life in a world of love and truth

Tragedy and mystery

open your mind and you will see

Winter displayed in a snow white haze

feather in a ray of sunlight

Tragedy and mystery

open your mind and you will see

Your world is changing though you cannot see

and there's no room for secrecy

Your world is changing faster everyday

and there's no truth in what they say

Wishful Thinking

It's time we should talk about is

There's no secret kept in here

Forgive me for asking

Now wipe away your tears

And if I wish to stop it all

And if I wish to comfort the fall

It's just wishful thinking

I sat on the roof

And watched the day go by

I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands

Makes it all worthwhile

And if I wish to stop it all

And if I wish to comfort the fall

It's just wishful thinking

It's time we should talk about is

There's no secret kept in here

I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands

Makes it all worthwhile

And if I wish to stop it all

And if I wish to comfort the fall

And if I wish to stop it all

And if I wish to comfort the fall

It's just wishful thinking

Working with Fire and Steel

I could never keep a beat
Too busy in my paradise
Put a crocodile in high office
And something out of place inside
When all is said and all is done
My hands that work with a fire and steel

Fashion, play your part
To be workers of red, red
Fashion, play your part
To be workers

While all the time you dance around
And things get stuck and we're to blame
And I couldn't think political blue
When all is said and all is done
My hands that work with a fire and steel

Fashion, play your part
To be workers of red, red
Fashion, play your part
To be workers

When all is said and all is done
My hands that work with a fire and steel
And motionless we'll slip away
Images are my thoughts, too real

Fashion, play your part
To be workers of red, red
Fashion, play your part
To be workers

Fashion, play your part
To be workers of red, red
Fashion, play your part
To be workers

Fashion, play your part
To be workers of red, red
Fashion, play your part
To be workers

 

China Crisis es una banda británica de música pop, se formó en 1979 y sigue en activo. Nunca ha sido un grupo de masas, no llegaba a los primeros puestos de las listas de éxitos, pero eso no les resta ni un ápice de calidad a sus canciones. Una parte importante de su música la lleva el sintetizador, cargado de curiosas y evocadoras melodías. Por la banda han pasado diferentes músicos, pero siempre han permanecido en ella Eddie Lundon a la guitarra y Gary Daly a los teclados y como cantante. Un dato dramático de su historia es que el que fue batería de China Crisis de 1983 a 1989, Kevin Michael Wilkinson, se suicidó en 1999 cuanto tenía 41 años de edad.
