Thunder - 'Across The Nation' (lyric video)

Another week like the one before
Been standing still for a year or more
Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day
Wish I could get back out on the road and play

It’s been a rough ride getting to here
Wondering when the sun would appear
But I see the end coming into view
And better times ahead for me and you

There’s a fuse gonna blow
And start up a chain reaction
The wall’s gonna break, the dam’s set to overflow
And we’ll drown in a wave of joy across the nation
We’ll be living it up, living it up

Come the day we’ll be ready to go
Curtain up and on with the show
Leave your troubles at the door outside
Take a trip on a magic carpet ride

Cause it’s been so long
It’ll feel like a revelation
We’ll be raising the roof and making up for lost time
And we’ll surf on the tide of freedom across the nation
We’ll be living it up

Living it up

So get your boots on just like the past
Come on down, we’re having a blast
Feels so good that it must be wrong
You never know just what you got ’til it’s gone
Til it’s gone

There’s a fuse gonna blow
The start of the chain reaction
The wall’s gonna break, the dam’s set to overflow
And we’ll drown in a wave of joy across the nation
All across the nation
We’ll be living it up
We’ll be living it up

Οι Thunder είναι ένα Βρετανικό hard rock συγκρότημα, το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε το μακρινό 1989 από τις "στάχτες" των Terraplane, όταν δύο μέλη των τελευταίων [ο Danny Bowes (φωνή) και ο συνθέτης / κιθαρίστας Luke Morley] σχημάτισαν τον "Κεραυνό".

Δισκογραφούν από το 1990. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει 14 full length δίσκους, αρκετά live albums, 9 συλλογές (compilations), 9 EPs και μπόλικα singles. Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα τιτλοφορείται "Dopamine" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του τρέχοντος μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Fifty years and counting since singer Danny Bowes met guitarist Luke Morley, and three decades since they founded the British rock giants Thunder, the south London fivesome are releasing their magnum opus. The band’s first double album, Dopamine, delivers 16 new tracks that cover a world of musical territory. Too vital to be simply labelled veterans, too varied in style to be just another classic rock band, Thunder are at their very peak of their considerable form, as evidenced by the wealth of light and shade on Dopamine.

‘Dopamine’ follows on from 2021’s return to the full-throttle sound of Thunder, ‘All The Right Noises’ which continued their consecutive Top 10 UK Album Chart run at No.3, since their ecstatically received comeback seven years ago. It is another chapter in the band’s incredible history that has seen them create a succession of some of the most highly regarded rock albums of the past 30 years. The key to their renown: brilliantly conceived top-drawer material. Thunder is the last of the true British rock giants.»
