Un aniversario especial

El año es 1979. El lugar Inglaterra. La banda... The Specials.

Los Specials tomaron el ska jamaicano de los 50-60 y añadiendo grandes dosis de buen hacer y una pizca del punk rock que se daba por aquellos tiempos crearon junto a otras bandas el movimiento, estilo, como queráis llamarlo, denominado Two Tone, que también tendría su propio sello discográfico. Manteniendo vivo el espíritu skinhead, porque en el grupo tocaban blancos junto a negros, su música llega hasta nuestros días y no pierde validez en un mundo que parece que no cambia nunca.

Os dejo con Doesn't make it alright, uno de sus mejores temas.



Just because you're nobody,
it doesn't mean that you're no good.
Just because there's a reason
it doesn't mean it's understood.


It doesn't make it alright,
it doesn't make it alright
It's the worst excuse in the world
And it... it doesn't make it alright!

Some people think they're really clever
To smash your head against a wall
Then they say "you got it my way"
They really think they know it all

It doesn't make it alright...

Just because you're a black boy
Just because you're a white
It doesn't mean you've got to hate him
It doesn't mean you've got to fight.
It doesn't make it alright...
