Neil Young - Rockin´ In The Free World

Ahora que por fin alguien se ha dignado a traer a Neil Young a Barcelona después de un montón de años, a pesar de incluirlo en un pastel de festival cómo el Primavera Sound, no he podido evitar la tentación de hacerle un homenaje y colgar el video de la canción con la que le descubrí...

Estoy seguro que si se hiciera una estadística sobre cómo conoció la gente a Neil Young en España, yo creo que la mayoría lo descubrió con este clip...

Joder, que buena la canción y que bueno el clip...¡Y pensar de que ya han pasado veinte años desde la publicación de Freedom!

En fin, paso de ponerme nostálgico y disfrutad de este himno y su letra, una buena dosis de denuncia social en clave de rock...

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
