Taylor Momsen & Matt Cameron: Halfway There – Soundgarden-átirat a Pretty Reckless énekesnőjével

Az az 1993-as születésű Taylor Momsen nagy rajongója volt a Soundgardennek, Chris Cornell halálának éjszakáján épp a Pretty Reckless volt a seattle-i kvartett előzenekara, és a túlélő tagok az elhunyt frontember előtt tisztelgő tavaly januári tribute esten is együtt játszottak az ifjú énekesnővel. A Soundgarden-dobos Matt Cameron most gitárra kapva kettesben is előadott Taylor Momsennel egy dalt az együttes repertoárjából: a 2012-es King Animal album Halfway There című Chris Cornell-szerzeményét rögzítették duettként.

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 didn’t see you on the trail
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
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 didn’t see you on the trail
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won
Is that what our dreams have become?

Have you got a car?
Somewhere to sleep?
Someone who loves you?
Something to eat?
I would say you’re doing better than most
Though maybe not as well as some

And how far is halfway there?
I didn’t see you on the trail
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?

I listen to his songs everyday, and the seasons roll on by. He had no equal. My love to everyone who knew him or was touched by his music. Words cannot express. #chriscornellforever @chriscornellofficial

a Pretty Reckless 2020 második felére várható új Death By Rock And Roll albumának május 15-én megjelent címadó száma:

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 a spiral 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”
Jamie had steel in her bones
But she burned away, 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 motorcycle crash
Out on my own, I don’t need to be saved
I wanna go out my way

But on my tombstone when I go
Just put “Death by Rock and Roll”
