Las Marionetas de Carne

20 años de carrera, Meat Puppets son unos veteranos del rock independiente en USA. Mezclando toda clase de estilos lograron sobrevivir: hardcore, blues, folk, country.... Desde 2002 no han vuelto a publicar nada. Cris Kirkwood es uno de los mejores guitarristas indies de su generación.

Han pasado por sellos míticos como SST o Rykodisc. A nosotros nos atraparon con discos como "Too High Too Die" de 1984, y con canciones tan chulas como este Backwater con unas líneas de guitarra alucinantes.

BACKWATER

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin'
Through the feeling, with a knife
To open up the sky's veins

Some things will never change
They stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain

They may seem rearranged
In the backwater swirling, there is
Something that will never change

And when I shoulda been gone a long time
Laughs and says, I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways

Hey, I'm blind
Good, fine
Roll the time
On whose dime

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin'
Through the ceiling, with a knife
To open up the sky's veins
