Rendezvous – UK

 Composición perteneciente al segundo álbum del grupo británico liderado por John Wetton, quién formó UK junto a Bill Bruford, Eddie Jobson y Alan Holdsworth tras el parón de King Crimson en los 70.

En este tema ya habían cambiado la formación del primero disco con la marcha de Bruford, quien montó una banda con su mismo nombre a la que se sumó  Holdsworth, y añadieron al baterista Terry Bozzio que había tocado con Frank Zappa.

El teclado que sustenta todo el tema junto a la línea de bajo y la voz de Wetton me parecen una maravilla y, aunque es un tema que se podría considerar rock progresivo, no llega a ser tan grandilocuente ni se hace largo o pesado, al menos ese es mi parecer.

Espero que os guste

It's 5 o'clock, driving down Park Lane

As London leaves for the weekend again

Through the dark city streets in the clinging rain

I take my car towards the Thames and Waterloo

 

Rendezvous 6:02

Rendezvous 6:02


Was that a face I saw? No, just a trick of light

It's getting clearer now, but moving out of sight

It's cold and late, and I can't miss that train

I turn around, walk through the arch of Waterloo


Rendezvous 6:02

Rendezvous 6:02


I see that same hooded face, he beckons me from the gate

"Did you not know, my friend? Ten years ago was the end

After the war Waterloo was no more

But your ticket states there is one train, it's leaving now

And there is a place, remember my face

And Waterloo..."

Heat of the Moment - Asia



I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung


'Cause it was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hot-spots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings


And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone?
What were the things you wanted for yourself?
Teenage ambitions you remember well


Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
