Hello Steemians! This week for Now Playing, I am going back to the 90's again... I really can't help myself. I enjoy going back and listening to older rock. To me, it just seemed like everything was good, raw, hard, and heavy. There were so many different sounds to enjoy!
First up: Face to Face - Disconnected
Face to Face is a punk rock band from California formed around 1991. The song that I am sharing today came from their 1995 album "Big Choice" but was also recorded on a few previous demos and singles. You can find a whole lot of information about Face to Face here. They split up in 2004 and reunited in 2008. They are still playing shows and have a bunch of stuff lined up! here is a link to their facebook page where you can find some upcoming shows! Every time I hear this song I get all these good feelings... It really brings back some awesome memories!
Lyrics:
You don't know a thing about me
Is there something that you should know?
I can tell you what you wanna hear
Let your inhibitions just go
No, you don't know what you will give up
No, you don't know what you will give up
You don't know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don't know what you need
It's something that may never come to you
Trust is something that comes easy
When you've never been a victim
Lies and promises and words are said
It's your decision to accept them
No, you don't know what you will give up
No, you don't know what you will give up
You don't know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don't know what you need
It's something that may never come to you
No, you don't know what you will give up
No, you don't know what you will give up
You don't know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don't know what you need
It's something that may never come to you
Second up: Fugazi - Merchandise
Fugazi is a band from Washington D.C. that formed in 1987. Merchandise was released on Fugazi's album "Repeater" in 1990. This is one of my favorite Fugazi songs of all time... There is a massive about of information on Fugazi here
Lyrics:
When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use
We owe you nothing you have no control
We owe you nothing you have no control
Merchandise keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
than to have us sucking in his store
We owe you nothing you have no control
We owe you nothing you have no control
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
You are not what you own
We owe you nothing you have no control
We owe you nothing you have no control
We owe you nothing (NOTHING) you have no control
We owe you nothing (NOTHING) you have NO CONTROL!
