Revolution


Screamin' for revolution
There's a sound in the air that'll make your feet move
You don't know where it came from
It's like a silent wind blowing under your roof

Everybody feels it's growing stronger
You're ready to climb over that fence
Come on, now, join that wave and make it your own

Nananananananana, yeah, yeah, yeah

Talking 'bout separation
You can feel it everywhere, it's under your skin
People whispering softly
It's hard to resist, yeah, easy to join in

Everybody knows it's not alright
But the walls are breached, it can't be stopped 
It's here, now, far too strong to be blown out

Nananananananana, yeah, yeah, yeah

It always starts with little spark
Then there's a sudden flame fighting for some
 light the dark
It always ends on a dead-end road with a roaring
 fire ready to explode

Hear the rumble, rumble
Feel 'em tumble, tumble
Walls, they crumble, crumble

Better sooner than later
You're a regime hater
So you become a traitor

Screamin' for revolution
You're never gonna forget the things you've
 seen and done
People left by the wayside
You could do nothing, it was just a great run
 run run

Now that it's all over
You don't see why it made you stand up
It's a great flood floating over
Rushing you away like it's never gonna stop

Everybody seems to be satisfied
You can go on home, the flag is hissed
You're back there, free for now but still
 separated

Nananananananana, yeah, yeah, yeah

It always starts with little spark
Then there's a sudden flame fighting for some
 light the dark
It always ends on a dead-end road with a roaring
 fire ready to explode
Now when that rushin' wave has turned to go it
 leaves a fire burning low

One Way

Dieses Lied wurde zu einer Zeit geschrieben, als gar nicht klar war, ob Blended überhaupt weiter existieren würde. Als Eröffnung des Albums vereinigt es viele Elemente, die dann später in unterschiedlichen Liedern eine Rolle spielen. Das druckvolle Gitarrenriff, der harmonische, kraftvolle Refrain und das wunderschön melodische Gitarrensolo sind nur drei Beispiele dafür.
Beim Aufnehmen und Mischen war Revolution mit Abstand das aufwendigste Lied. All die Gitarren, Streicher und Chöre unter einen Hut zu bringen war eine ziemliche Herausforderung, die wir allerdings mit großer Zufriedenheit aller gemeistert haben.
Das Lied schafft es, glaub ich, bei allen Blended Mitgliedern in die Top 3 der Lieder auf One Way.
