Minutos musicales: MATCHBOX 20 y un superhéroe en el MUNDO REAL

Aunque ya hace más de 2 meses que se editó, yo me acabo de enterar de que Matchbox Twenty (antes Matchbox 20) tiene nuevo disco a la venta. Rob Thomas (más conocido mundialmente por componer e interpretar el Smooth que descubrió la guitarra de Santana a una nueva generación) y sus chicos se han vuelto a reunir para Exile on Mainstream, un "greatest hits" que incluye también canciones inéditas, y para dar una serie de conciertos por la geografía yanqui. En el videoclip que os presento de uno de sus temas más conocidos, perteneciente a su primer álbum (Yourself or Someone Like You), se plantean algo que a cualquier friki que se precie se le ha pasado alguna vez por la cabeza.

Real World - Matchbox 20

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone And you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm done I wonder what it's like to be a super hero I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow Sun Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned [chorus] Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I were someone else, would this all fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gig, I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get me some Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone [chorus] Please don't change, please don't break The only thing that seems to work at all is you Please don't change, at all from me To you, and you to me [chorus]
