Japan - Rex Orange County

Copied!

{Tradução de "Japan", de Rex Orange County}
Japão

{Intro}
Você me fez correr pela minha própria mente
Pensamentos me cercando
Enquanto eu me deito na minha própria cama

{Verso}
Com os lençóis pesados
E o cérebro amarrado ao travesseiro frio como pedra
Mas o travesseiro só parece com cimento
Abra os seus ouvidos para o meu último lamento
Músicas de amor não são mais para mim
Mas essa com certeza não é a última que você vai ouvir
Porque homens irão te mandar tudo o que precisar
Além do dinheiro, sexo
E eu posso apostar que elеs serão todos mais altos que eu
Mas isso nunca foi sobrе o Alex
Nunca foi, você entende?
É sobre a garota que mudou ele
Mas não eles não eram destinados
Não, isso nunca foi sobre o Alex
Nunca foi sobre mim
É sobre aquela, que não era a única
Mas eu estava cego-de-amor para conseguir ver
Mas o que é amor?
Ou isso era amor?
Ou só uma pequena obsessão pelo o que eu achei que precisava?
Isso era amor? Eu nunca vou saber
Mas sinto que meu tempo 'tá acabando
Mas agora, é hora de eu ir
Não espere por mim, por favor não espere
Eu respeito sua decisão
Mas se alguma hora você mudar de ideia
Saiba que não é tarde

Biography

edit bio

Japan gained significant commercial success in the early 1980s with hit singles like “Ghosts” and albums like Tin Drum and Gentlemen Take Polaroids, as well as the live album Oil On Canvas in 1983, becoming pioneers of New Wave and, reluctantly, the New Romantic movement.

However, the London-based band, which formed in 1974, began life as a glam-funk outfit. Their first two albums, Adolescent Sex and Obscure Alternatives were poorly received in their native UK but did find favour among Japanese and European audiences.

For their third album, Quiet Life, they completely shifted gears, moving towards a more synthpop and New Wave-oriented direction. This change of sound had already been hinted at by their 1979 disco hit single, “Life in Tokyo. Many of Japan’s defining features developed in this period: David Sylvian’s Bryan Ferry-esque croon, Mick Karn’s rubbery fretless bass, Richard Barbieri and Rob Dean’s atmospheric synth and guitar work and Steve Jansen’s unique drumming. While the album might not have been very successful when it was released, it has since become regarded as one of the most important and influential albums of its genre, being cited as an influence by a number of artists including Duran Duran.

Subsequent releases, Gentlemen Take Polaroids and Tin Drum continued in the same vein, with the latter employing Chinese and other East Asian influences, but just as “Ghosts” gave them a No. 5 hit, the band decided to split up due to personal differences, releasing the hugely successful Oil On Canvas to close out their career.

Sylvian, Karn, Jansen and Barbieri reunited in 1991 for the Rain Tree Crow project, but split up shortly after as the other members of the band found it difficult to cope with Sylvian’s controlling nature.

Despite their career being very short, each individual member has pursued a prolific solo career, and Japan’s legacy remains a hugely important one.
