My Morning Jacket – Gideon

Album

Z is the fourth studio album by psychedelic rock band My Morning Jacket.

This collection features a much spacier and more polished sound than previous releases, making heavy use of synthesizers throughout and incorporating reggae and dub influences. The heavy reverb that was a defining characteristic of the band's prior recordings is largely absent. The songs on the album are more focused and shorter compared to the band's previous albums.

A double-live album, Okonokos, was recorded at the end of the Z Tour and was released on September 26, 2006; it features live versions of eight of Z's 10 songs.

In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 457 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The magazine has also ranked the album 31st on its list of the 100 best albums of the 2000s and 23rd of the 40 greatest stoner albums ever.

Z è il quarto album in studio del gruppo musicale statunitense My Morning Jacket, pubblicato nel 2005. Gideon fa parte dell'album.

Artist

My Morning Jacket is an American rock band formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The band currently consists of vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, drummer Patrick Hallahan, guitarist Carl Broemel, and keyboardist Bo Koster.

MMJ's sound, rooted in rock and country, is often experimental and psychedelic. The group amassed a following beginning in the 2000s in part due to their live performances.

The group first found success in Europe after the release of its debut album, The Tennessee Fire (1999). Its next release, At Dawn (2001), led to a large stateside following and preceded several lineup changes. After signing to major label ATO Records, the group released two albums, It Still Moves (2003) and Z (2005), with the latter representing a critical breakthrough.

The group's next release, Evil Urges (2008), was more polarizing for fans and critics, while Circuital (2011), its sixth album, saw a more measured response. After many years of side projects and touring, the band's seventh album, The Waterfall, was released in 2015.

I My Morning Jacket sono una band statunitense di Louisville, fondata da Jim James (voce) e Tom Blankenship (basso) nel 1998.

Storia

I My Morning Jacket si sono formati nel 1998 a Louisville, nel Kentucky, dal frontman e cantante Jim James, dal bassista Tom Blankeship, dal chitarrista Johnny Quaid e dal batterista J. Glenn, iniziando come band emo-punk con il nome di Winter Death Club, cambiando ufficialmente nome nel 1998 nell'attuale My Morning Jacket.

Debuttano con l'album The Tennessee Fire nel maggio 1999, e l'anno successivo aggiungono alla formazione il tastierista Danny Cash. Il secondo album At Dawn viene pubblicato nel 2001 e lo stesso anno J. Glenn venne rimpiazzato da Chris "KG" Guetig, che a sua volta fu sostituito da Patrick Hallahan, amico di infanzia di Jim.

Gideon, what have you told us at all?
Make a sound, come down off the wall

Religion, should appeal to the hearts of the young
Who are you? What have you become?

Animal, come on
What does this remind you of?

Truly, truly we have become
Hated and feared for something we don't want

Listen, listen
Most of us believe that this is wrong

Animal, come on,
what does this remind you of?

Animal, come on,
what does this remind you of?
Animal, come on

Gideon, cosa ci hai detto?
Fai un suono, scendi dal muro

La religione, dovrebbe fare appello al cuore dei giovani
Tu chi sei? Cosa sei diventato?

Animale, andiamo
Cosa ti ricorda questo?

Veramente, veramente siamo diventati
Odiato e temuto per qualcosa che non vogliamo

Ascolta, ascolta
La maggior parte di noi crede che questo sia sbagliato

Animale, andiamo,
cosa ti ricorda questo?

Animale, andiamo,
cosa ti ricorda questo?
Animale, andiamo
