THEPRETTYRECKLESS
OTHER WORLDS The Pretty Reckless 2022. november 4-én adja ki új albumát Other Worlds címmel a Century Media Records gondozásában. Egy album, amelyen első megfelelő akusztikus felvételeiket, váratlan borítóikat és más újragondolásokat adják le, ismét új területet lefedve.
Taylor Momsen énekes magyarázza: Hosszú ideje próbálunk kitalálni egy alternatív módot a zene kiadására, beleértve az általunk kedvelt dalokat is, amelyekből nem készült el lemezünk, feldolgozásunk és alternatív verzióink. Megtaláltuk a módját, hogy ezt koherensen és következetesen tegyük a Más világokkal. Rockzenekar vagyunk, ezért sok elektromos gitár található a lemezeinken. Azonban hihetetlen visszajelzéseket kaptunk a rajongóktól az akusztikus előadásainkkal kapcsolatban, és soha nem adtuk volna ki ezeket valódi formátumban. Tehát ez egy másik felfogás a hagyományos lemezformátumról, és egy lecsupaszított változatunkról, amit rajongóink még nem igazán hallottak, de mégis mi vagyunk.
Remixek, akusztikus variációk, feldolgozások és vendégek, a The Pretty Reckless új albuma a rajongóknak szól, annyi biztos. A kedvencek friss festést kaptak, a The Pretty Reckless pedig okot ad hallgatóiknak arra, hogy ismét jókedvűek legyenek.
A Got So High remixével indul a legutóbbi negyedik albumukról, a Death by Rock and Roll-ról. A lágy ritmus, dallam és szintetizátoros effektusok csodálatosan együttműködnek Momsem lélegző, mégis erőteljes énekével. Mielőtt megérkezik az első borító, és ez egy doozy. A Pretty Reckless a halhatatlan Soundgarden előtt tiszteleg a Loud Love lenyűgöző játékával. Senki sem egyezik Chris Cornell-lel a hangos osztályon, de Momsen a maga egyedi módján biztosan remekül csinálja.
Valami olyasmit, amit képes közvetíteni, de törékenyebb módon Cornell The Keeper édes borítóján. Egy szám, amelyen Alain Johannes multiinstrumentalista, producer és művész gitárt kezel. Ennek az albumnak a biztos slágere lesz a The Thin White Duke Quicksand című feldolgozása. Ez egy felkavaró változat, amely annyira „Reckless”-nek tűnik, és David Bowie zongorista, Mike Garson közreműködésével.
A következő három szám Pretty Reckless sláger, de az akusztikus kezelés miatt. 25, Only Love Can Save Me Now and Death by Rock és Roll. Mindegyik ismerős, de egyedi variációkat kínál a közkedvelt számokhoz. A csúcspont a 25 hangulatos ereje.
Ezután visszatér a borítókra, ahogy a The Pretty Reckless továbbra is kimutatja a Soundgarden iránti szeretetét, miközben Momsen egyesíti tehetségét Matt Cameronnal a Halfway There című film lábkoppintós és ujjpattintós változatában. Aztán Elvis Costello (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding című művének vigyorra ingerlő változata. Egy másik szám, amely a The Pretty Reckless mint Momsenhez lett szabva, így a szöveg sokkal hatásosabb, mint valaha.
Ez még egy akusztikus szám a nagyszerű Harley Darling melodramatikus kezelésével, amely olyan mértékben elaltatja az embert. Ezt követte a Got So High (albumverzió) fináléja. Szép könyv, tekintve, hogy ennek a számnak a remixe volt, amivel az album kezdődött.
Úgy tűnhet, hogy ez csak a rajongók számára készült, de még azok is, akik csak felületesen érdeklődnek a The Pretty Reckless iránt, rengeteg szórakozást találnak.

DALSZÖVEGEK
GOT SO HIGH (REMIX)
[One, two, three]
Turned out wasted, confused, complacent, I
Lost my center, suppose I meant to, I
I, I got so high, I got so high
Success showed somethin', at the same time nothin', I (I)
Thought I got it, but it seems I've lost it, I
I, I got so high, I got so high
If I wanted to fly, I should have gone up in a plane
If I wanted to fly, I should have climbed up to the highest mountaintop
Not lost my brain, but I'm insane, so
I, I got so high (High, high) I got so high (High, high)
I (Turned out wasted, confused, complacent, I) I got so high (High, high, high)
I (Lost my center, suppose I meant to, I) I got so high (High, high, high)
I was somethin' but now I'm nothin', I
LOUD LOVE
There's no time to keep it low
I've been deaf, now I want noise, you stay down
But I won't be quiet, hammer on until you fight
Loud love, loud love, loud love, loud love, yeah
Hammer on 'til you fight
If you've got some time to kill
Slow resistance wins the war, well, I know
Well, that's no way to go, can't resist the louder pull
Loud love, loud love, loud love, loud love, yeah
Can't resist louder pull
Well, that's right, I want somethin' to explode
I've been deaf, now I want noise
Loud love, loud love, loud love, loud love, yeah, yeah
THE KEEPER
I come from far away
My boots don't know this ground, but they know it's real
It doesn't take too long
For this road to become, a battlefield
And before I let one more fire go out
Understand that I won't give one inch of ground
From beneath yours and my feet
Whatever the price happens to be
I may not be the keeper of the flame, but I am the keeper
Beauty and truth collide
Where love meets genocide, where laughter meets fear
Confusion all around
As I try to feed these mouths, that have never known singing
And before I let one more tear hit the ground
I will be the one standing between you and the sound
Of the rounds echoing out, out of the dark
The smoke and the spark
Aimed at the heart of the flame, I am the keeper, oh
I cannot see the light, at the end of the tunnel tonight
My eyes are weary, and before I let one more life get erased
From the ashes I will rise for you and the ghosts
Of the names, the faces and frames
The love and the pain, for you I remain, though I'm not worthy of
Being the keeper of the flame, I am the keeper, yeah, I am the keeper, oh
QUICKSAND
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal, I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore, no, I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their target, divine symmetry
Should I kiss the vipеr's fang, or herald loud the death of man?
I'm sinking in thе quicksand of my thought, and I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
I'm tethered logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought, and I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
Don't believe in yourself, don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
25 (ACOUSTIC)
Year one was lots of fun, but nothin' lasts forever in my dreams
And two, I followed you, because you knew the way or so it seemed
And three, I still believed, that we would be becoming destiny
And four, I wanted more, but you were movin' on to better things
At twenty-five and still alive, much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died, and the glass of my intentions turns to sand
And shatters in my hand, oh-oh
Five to six, a lie, a kiss, the secrеts that were servеd, we'd never say
Skip to eight, we called it fate, to live, to let us die another day
And nine, I saw the signs, reflected in the barrel of a gun
And ten, we're here again, and those who loved me burned up in the sun
At twenty-five and still alive, much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died, and the glass of my intentions turns to sand
And shatters in my hand, shatters in my hand
From eleven, twelve, I held the future in my grasp
And all through my teens, I screamed I may not live much past
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four
At twenty-five and still alive, much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died, and the glass of my intentions, the glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions turns to sand, it shatters in my hand
It shatters in my hand, in my hand
ONLY LOVE CAN SAVE ME NOW (ACOUSTIC)
[One, two, three, four]
Heaven's falling out of the sky
Sends a message to you and I
See people crawling out of their trees
Chained to sickness, the dogs are free
I wanna be saved, I wanna be saved
From the sound, the sound, the world is spitting out, only love can save me now
Gone so down, lost is all I found, only love, love, love can save me now
Drowning madly in deep blue seas
Waves of sadness swallow me
No soul can hear me beneath the weight
No gods or saviors, no hands of fate
I wanna be saved, I wanna be saved
From the sound, the sound, the world is spitting out, only love can save me now
Gone so down, lost is all I found, only love, love, love can save me now
I wanna be saved, I wanna be saved
I wanna be saved, I wanna be saved
From the sound, the sound, the world is spitting out, only love can save me now
Gone so down, lost is all I found, only love, love, love can save me now
DEATH BY ROCK AND ROLL (ACOUSTIC)
Jenny died of suicide
With a candle burnin' in her eye
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put “Death by Rock and Roll”
John forgot what he was on
But he broke the needle, dead and gone
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put “Death by Rock and Roll”
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a woman on her back
I wanna go with balls, I won't pray
I wanna go with this bottle in my veins
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go out my way
Amy shot and killed a man
With a gun too heavy in her hand
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put “Death by Rock and Roll”
Janey had steel in her bones
But she burned away, a blood into stone
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put “Death by Rock and Roll”
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a woman on her back
I wanna go with this sickness in my throat
I wanna go, killed by Rock and Roll
I wanna, I wanna go, I wanna go out my way, yeah
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a motorcyclе crash
Out on my own, I don't need to be saved
I wanna go out my way
But on my tombstone whеn I go
Just put “Death by Rock and Roll”
HALFWAY THERE
I woke up with my feet nailed down
And my head moving the speed of sound
Had a dream I was caught in a maze
And I couldn't find my way back out
Some were born to move mountains around
And some to rot away in jail
I get an itch, and when I am scratching
Everything can go to hell
And how far is halfway there, I
I didn't see you on the trail now
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won?
Is that what our dreams have become?
Sometimes when you're shooting an arrow
It can fly across the sky so proud
Well, I would go all the way to the sun
If I didn't have to come back down
And how far is halfway there, I
I didn't see you on the trail now
Did almost become good еnough?
Should a good life be so hard won?
Is that what our dreams havе become?
Have become, oh-oh
Have you got a car and, somewhere to sleep?
Someone who loves you, something to eat?
Well, I would say you're doing better than most
But maybe not as well as some
And how far is halfway there, I
I didn't see you on the trail now
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won?
Is that what our dreams have become?
Is that what our dreams have become?
(WHAT'S SO FUNNY 'BOUT) PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
As I walk through, this wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
Each time I feel like slipping away, it just makes me wanna say
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
As I walked on, through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
And who are the strong, and who can be trusted?
Where is the harmony, sweet harmony, yeah
Each time I feel like slipping away, it just makes me wanna say
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
HARLEY DARLING (ACOUSTIC)
Woah, Harley darlin', you took my love
You took him down the lonely road to the stars above
Woah, Harley darlin’, you took my friend
You took everything and now I'm alone again
Harley, won't you take me back to Hollywood?
Let me see him one more time, I’d hold him like I could
All night, so tight
Woah, Harley darlin', the love of everyone
Roarin' noise down the highway in the sun
Woah, Harley darlin', you done me wrong
And now I'm all alone to sing this lonely song
Every time I close my eyes, I see you in my dreams
There you are, it seems so real, you whisper in my ear
"It's alright, you hold me tight"
Woah, Harley darlin', you took my love
You took him down the lonely road to the stars above
Woah, Harley darlin', you took my friend
You took everything and now, everything and now
You took everything and now I’m alone again
GOT SO HIGH
One, two, three
Turned out wasted, confused, complacent, I
Lost my center, suppose I meant to, I
I, I got so high, I got so high
Success showed somethin', at the same time nothin', I
Thought I got it, but it seems I've lost it, I
I, I got so high, I got so high
If I wanted to fly, I should have gone up in a plane
If I wanted to fly, I should have climbed up to the highest mountaintop
Not lost my brain, but I'm insane, so
I, I got so high, I, I got so high
I, I got so high, I, I got so high
I was somethin' but now I'm nothin', I
