30 Seconds to Mars es una banda de rock estadounidense liderada por el también actor Jared Leto. La fundó junto a su hermano Shannon, y algún tiempo después se unió Tomo Milicevic, quedando el grupo con la formación actual. El nombre lo sacaron de una tesis de un antiguo profesor de Harvard, uno de los capítulos se titulaba 30 seconds to mars –30 segundos para Marte- haciendo referencia al avance de la tecnología humana, gracias a la cual estamos literalmente a 30 segundos de Marte. La banda se sintió totalmente identificada con esto y adoptó el nombre.
Desde sus inicios han cosechado muchos éxitos, ganando adeptos por todo el mundo. Pero más que fans, sus seguidores son creyentes, de hecho se hacen llamar believers o Echelons – título de una canción del primer disco –, y entre ellos se llaman hermanos echelons. Yo no llego hasta tanto, porque todo lo que suene a religión me parece un fiasco, pero sí que me gusta su música y, por qué no decirlo, su cantante, al que ya le seguía su trayectoria como actor.
Aquí os dejo el vídeo Hurricane, la versión sin censurar. En su página web te ofrecen la censurada y la libre, pero para ver la libre tienes que ingresar tu fecha de nacimiento. Me ha parecido curioso, cuanto menos.
¡Que la disfrutéis!
No matter how many times
did you told me you wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths
that you took you still couldn’t breathe
No matter how many nights
that you lied wide awake
to the sound of the poison rain
where did you go?
where did you go?
where did you go?
Heart beat, a heart beat,
I need a heart beat, a heart beat...
[Chorus]
tell me would you kill to save your life?
tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?
crash, crash, burn let it all burn
this hurricane’s chasing us all underground
no matter how many deaths that I die,
I will never forget
no matter how many lies that I live,
i will never regret
there is a fire inside that has started a riot about to explode into flames
where is your God?
where is your God?
where is your God?
do you really want?
do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to torture for my sins
Do you really want?
do you really want?
do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to live a lie
(A heart beat, a heart beat, I need a heart beat...
You know I gotta leave, I can't stay, I know I gotta go, I can't stay)
[Chorus]
tell me would you kill to save your life?
tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?
crash, crash, burn let it all burn
this hurricane’s chasing us all underground
[Kanye West]
You say you wrong, you wrong,
I’m right, I’m right, you’re wrong, we fight
Ok, I’m running from the light, running from the day to night
Oh, the quiet silence defines our misery
The riot inside keeps trying to visit me
No matter how we try, it’s too much history
Too many bad notes playing in our symphony
So let it breathe, let it fly, let it go
Let it fall, let it crash, burn slow
And then you call upon God
You call upon God
[Chorus]
tell me would you kill to save your life?
tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?
crash, crash, burn let it all burn
this hurricane’s chasing us all underground
Oh Oh woah
This Hurricane
Oh Oh woah
This Hurricane
Oh Oh woah
This Hurricane
do you really want?
do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to torture for my sins
do you really want?
do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to live a lie
running away from the light,
running away from the light
Running away to save your life
did you told me you wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths
that you took you still couldn’t breathe
No matter how many nights
that you lied wide awake
to the sound of the poison rain
where did you go?
where did you go?
where did you go?
Heart beat, a heart beat,
I need a heart beat, a heart beat...
[Chorus]
tell me would you kill to save your life?
tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?
crash, crash, burn let it all burn
this hurricane’s chasing us all underground
no matter how many deaths that I die,
I will never forget
no matter how many lies that I live,
i will never regret
there is a fire inside that has started a riot about to explode into flames
where is your God?
where is your God?
where is your God?
do you really want?
do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to torture for my sins
Do you really want?
do you really want?
do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to live a lie
(A heart beat, a heart beat, I need a heart beat...
You know I gotta leave, I can't stay, I know I gotta go, I can't stay)
[Chorus]
tell me would you kill to save your life?
tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?
crash, crash, burn let it all burn

do you really want me?
do you really want me dead or alive to live a lie
running away from the light,
running away from the light
Running away to save your life
Me ha parecido muy interesante lo que cuentas del grupo, no tenía ni idea, especialmente me ha llamado la atención lo del fanatismo de sus seguidores. Los he oído algo pero no me llaman mucho la atención, la verdad, aunque coincido contigo en que Jared Leto está más que bien, me quedo con su faceta de actor. Bsos
ResponderEliminarGracias Carol! Creo que hay mucha gente con vacío existencial y se agarran a cualquier clavo ardiendo. A mí sí que me gusta la música, porque soy aficionada al rock, y así me quito "el mono" mientras Jared hace otra peli... Ainss, qué ojazos... Un beso, guapa!
ResponderEliminarUy, por qué me salté esta entrada?? A ver si luego en casa puedo ver el vídeo, que estoy en el curro y no es plan.
ResponderEliminarMadre mía... los americanos hacen una religión de cualquier cosa, da miedo...
Yo los he visto en concierto, he visto casi todas sus pelicular y escuchado casi todas sus canciones y una religión es lo menos, en serio, no he conocido nunca una persona tan polifacética como Jared Leto y la entrega con sus fans es fabulosa. Dirige sus propios videoclips con el seudónimo de bartholomew cubbins, diseña los logotipos para las camisetas y otros artículos de marketin, compone las canciones, escribe las letras...y en cuanto a actor, si ya habéis visto sus películas, no hace falta señalar nada más. Yo nunca había sido fans de nadie en especial, pero tengo que reconocer que desde que le redescubrí, estoy totalmente fascinada!
