from Oannes *

Στο February born musicians club και ο Henry Rollins, singer-songwriter, ηθοποιός, παρουσιαστής – μεταξύ άλλων. Ξεκινώντας σαν τραγουδιστής των ιστορικών punk rockers Black Flag θα αποχωρήσει στα late ’80s για να φτιάξει τους Rollins Band – ένα ενδιαφέρον και συναρπαστικό μίγμα funk, post-punk, metal αλλά και jazz. Ακούμε ένα δυνατό κομμάτι από το άλμπουμ τους “Come In And Burn” των middle ’90s.

Another member of February born musicians’ club : Henry Rollins, singer-songwriter, actor, TV/radio host – among other things. Starting out as a singer of historic punk rockers Black Flag, he left in the late ’80s to form the Rollins Band – an interesting and exciting mix of funk, post-punk, metal and jazz. We hear a strong track from their middle ’90s album “Come In And Burn”.

❝ When I close my eyes
All I see are visions of you
And when I open my eyes
Your absence pulls me down
And I try to but I can’t shake myself loose
I can’t command my brain
All I do is shrink and think of one thing
I am sitting alone beside me
I’m digging a hole inside myself
All I want is world I think I found
When I look in to your eyes
All I know is that I am tired of the world around me
Please please please don’t ignore me
Then it came
Here I am
Thinking of you is everything within me
And I know that you will never feel me
Never see me
Never know these thoughts of mine
But in my mind you’re always there
Always smiling and always reaching out for me
The days go on with heart ache
The days go on with emptiness
All I want is to some how matter to you
Even if all else rejection
All I know is that I am hammered
From the world around me
Please please please don’t destroy me
Don’t destroy me
Don’t destroy me
Don’t destroy me
All I want is world I think I found
When I look in to your eyes
All I know is that I am tired of the world around me
Please please please don’t ignore me
And I burn down time
Trying to find a way to get through to you
I know I am standing in line for a hand out
It’ll never come
But still I don’t care
Felling like
Looking like
Naked fear is everything
Fear is everything I am
Laid out
Wide eyed
Exposed
Unable to forget you
All I want is to some how matter to you
Even if all else rejection
All I know is that I am hammered
From the world around me
Please please please don’t destroy me ❞
