Brian's Song: Land of Confusion

An excerpt taken from Marie's Song(s): Battle Music: "And don't worry, Brian will be back with his usual selection of genres next week."

The only thing I have to say is simply this: Ouch! :(

Now moving on...

I have only one rule when it come to bands doing cover songs: IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO A COVER SONG, PLEASE DO IT WELL.

When I first heard that Disturbed was doing a cover of Genesis' "Land Of Confusion" I was at first a little nervous, but after hearing it, I realized there was nothing worry about. I think they did a great job with the song, it sounds just like the original except that they gave it that rockin sound that sounds oh so good to my ears.

Naturally Marie hates it, but it's not so much the band she hates as much the me blaring the song on my stereo and the eventual knocks on my walls from angry neighbors.

So for this week I spotlight "Land Of Confusion" by Disturbed as this week's Brian's Song.

"Land Of Confusion"
By: Disturbed

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street

Now, did you read the news today?
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh, superman, where are you now?
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, these men of power
Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
Tell me why this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep

There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to...
