Lion's Share - 'Life on Mars?' (David Bowie cover)
It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show

Οι Lion's Share μας έρχονται από την Σουηδία. Υπάρχουν στο heavy metal σύμπαν από το δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα (δημιουργήθηκαν το 1987) συνεχίζοντας ακάθεκτοι μέχρι τις ημέρες μας. Δηλώνουν ως επιρροές συγκροτήματα όπως οι Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Dio, Accept, Metallica, Saxon, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Manowar (μεταξύ άλλων) και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους. Τα full length albums "σταμάτησαν" τον Μάρτιο του 2009.
Η δισκογραφική τους επιστροφή το 2018 αφορούσε EP και έκτοτε κυκλοφορούν μόνο singles (18 αν δεν έχω χάσει το μέτρημα), κάποια εκ των οποίων θα συμπεριληφθούν στον επερχόμενο (έβδομο) "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο τους. Μεταξύ αυτών και η διασκευή στο τραγούδι του David Bowie "Life on Mars?", με τα μέλη της μπάντας να μας λένε σχετικά:
Ακούμε τον Nils Patrik Johansson (Vocals), τον Lars Chriss (Guitars), τον Andy Loos (Bass), τον Nils Fredrik Johansson (Drums), τον Kay Backlund (Piano) και τον Kent Johansson (Strings).

Nils Patrik Johansson: «We feel It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and freshness that hopefully will appeal to fans across generations.»
Lars Chriss: «We actually started working on it years ago, but had to figure out a way to capture the essence of the original, while adding a new layer of intensity and passion.»
