MANY SHADES OF BLACK.
Hace mucho tiempo que no quedaba deslumbrado por un grupo de rock actual, en general lo que me pasa es que escucho a los grupos nuevos y llego a la conclusión de que no presentan nada nuevo, la mayoría me parecen repeticiones de cosas ya escuchadas, pero los Raconteurs, se cuecen aparte, con el talento de Jack White a la cabeza y el complemento de Brendan Benson, como el otro compositor de las piezas y el otro vocalista, han logrado hacerme sentir que el rock no está muerto.
Y no es que White sea la gran novedad para mí, no, ya lo había escuchado en los discos de White Stripes y sabía que Jack es uno de los grandes músicos de su generación, con múltiples talentos, pero sobre todo, me sorprende el conocimiento que tiene de la historia del género que cultiva, nunca lo he escuchado o leido hablando del tema, pero ni falta hace, con su música revela que conoce y domina todos los géneros y ha escuchado a todos los grandes.
El disco que me descubrió a este grupo del que sabía su existencia, pero no llamaba mi atención hasta que supe que en él tocaba White, es Consolers of the lonely y la pieza del video forma parte de él, en ella se demuestra lo afirmado antes, es una canción que inevitablemente evoca a Queen, en la melodía, la construcción, la forma de cantar y hasta el estilo guitarrístico muy a lo Brian May, después de escuchar el disco completo muchas, pero muchas veces, he vuelto a dormir tranquilo, la angustia es un recuerdo lejano, porque el rock está muy vivo con grupos como este.
MANY SHADES OF BLACK.
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
And smash it on the floor
Take whatever's left
And take it with you out the door...
See if I cry,
see if I shed a single sorry tear
I can't say that it's been that great
No, in fact it's been a wasted-free year
Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long
Take it as it comes
and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
and there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
Let it out (let it all out) let it all out
Say what's on your mind
You can kick and scream
and shout and say things
That are so unkind.
Yeah,
See if I care
And see if I stand firm or if I fall
Cause in the back of my mind,
and on the tip of my tongue
is the answer to it all...
And everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long
Take it as it comes
and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
and there's many shades of black,
There's so many shades of black,
Yeah, there's many shades of black
Yeah...
Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long
So take it as it comes
and be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
and you cannot take it back
no you cannot take it back
there's so many shades of black,
There's so many shades of black,
Yeah, there's many shades of black
there's so many shades of black
there's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black
there's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black
there's so many shades of black

Yo prefiero mil veces a los Raconteurs que a los White Stripes. Jack White es un virtuoso en lo que hace y en esta banda se encuentra más libre y acompañado de músicos a su altura. Por cierto que White tiene nuevo proyecto y disco bajo el brazo... pronto escribiré sobre ello.
