P.O.D.

P.O.DPayable On Death介绍

这支来自圣地亚哥的4人说唱金属乐队成立于 1992 年。在一众重摇滚乐队中他们显得与别不同，独树一帜。他们热爱上帝，用圣经作为歌词，但同时他们玩的是凶猛的音乐。“工业、噪音、嘻哈、重金属”，与“信心、盼望、救赎、十字架”混为一谈，却全然不冲突。乐队成员包括鼓手 Wuv、主唱 Sonny、吉他手 Marcos 及贝斯手 Traa。
在各界推崇好评下，P.O.D 第二张名为《Satellite》的专辑趁势推出；风格上仍延续嘻哈、金属、庞克、雷鬼等多品种音乐热力。单曲 Set It Off 放射出有如 Rage Against The Machine 早期疯狂带劲的饶舌及生猛过瘾的摇滚力道；首支主攻单曲 Alive 在重击的摇滚节奏中加入较为流畅的旋律，相信会吸引更广大层面的乐迷；因一则触目惊心的校园枪枝扫射悲剧有感而发地写下的 Youth Of The Nation 震憾人心，Thinking About Forever 则是缅怀 Sonny 已逝母亲所写下的感人小品。
这首《Youth Of The Nation》一开始的嘈杂人声曾一度让我以为转错台了……他们的风格跟林肯公园非常类似，不过穿插其中的雷鬼节奏依然让他们极具特色，听起来就“不仅仅是烦躁”了。尤其是结尾的童声合唱和主唱的交互对唱相得益彰，非常具救赎意味！

P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation[MV]
Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known cause i'd have kissed my momma goobye.
I didn't tell her that I loved her or how much cared or thank my
pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared.
Unaware I just did what I always do.
Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasnt like the rest,
Instead of takin the test I took two to the chest.
Call me blind but I didn't see it comin and
everybody was runnin but I couldn't
hear nothin, except gun blast, it happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class.
Maybe this kid was reachin out for love or
maybe for a moment he forgot who he was or
maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged,
whatever it was I know its because
We are We are the youth of the nation (repeat)x4
Little Suzzie she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kinda proud but no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations but different faces.
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her she deserved much better.
Johnny boy always played the fool,
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool.
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried,
Often thought of suicide
It's kinda hard when you ain't got no friends,
He put his life to an end they might remember him then.
You cross a line and there is no turnin back
He told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat.
Who's to blame for the life that tragedies claim?
No matter what you say it won't take away the pain
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leadin' the blind.
Guess that's the way that the story goes,
Will it ever make sense somebody's gotta know,
There's gotta be more to life than this,
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists
