<分享>H2O - Nothing to prove

H20 is back!!
1995年成軍的紐約Melodic Hardcore& Straight edge老團H2O，繼2001年在MCA reocrd發行了一張不怎麼樣的商業專輯以後，今年總算回歸原始，發行了nothing to prove專輯，AP雜誌在專輯評價上寫著"same old friends ,same old shit"並以三顆半星歡迎老朋友。
很顯然的，專輯也直接的表示了他們回來了的概念，專輯裡請了好多他們的老朋友用答錄機的方式，錄下了對他們新專輯的祝賀之意，以及他們對HARDCORE場景的貢獻。

其中專輯中個人最喜歡的一首歌就是最後一首"what happened?"
除了後段塞了Alkaline trio主唱Matt Skiba的橋段，神來一筆之外，歌詞更直接表達出他們對現在樂壇的疑問，以及他們的立場，這才是直刃族的精神!!!!!

When it began, for those who don't know
it didn't matter how you looked or what you wore to a show
dress codes, FUCK NO! we didn't care
about the brand of your jeans and all that shit in your hair

But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
Fashion before passion!
And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What happened to the reason for screaming?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened the music and the message that I love?

And I know, that people change
and we go through different stages in life
and I'm not here to criticize
but the reason I scream, is a feeling inside

But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
Fashion before passion!
And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What happened to the reason for screaming?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened the music and the message that I love?

Lost (1,2,3,4) lifetime ago it seems
you gave up on your wildest dreams
but i refuse to let mine go
I took an oath, you can find me here
with an open heart and ears
refusing to surrender
I can't believe they don't remember
what it feels like to be young

What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What happened to the reason for screaming?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened the music and the message that I love?
