Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire 1963

Biografi Elvis Presley


Elvis Aron Presley lahir 8 Januari 1935 di Tupelo, Mississippi adalah seorang penyanyi rock 'n' roll legendaris Amerika Serikat. Elvis juga dikenal dengan "The King" dan "The King of Rock 'n' Roll". Selain penyanyi, The King adalah seorang produser musik dan aktor. Berkat lagu-lagunya yang memadukan irama rock 'n' roll dengan lagu-lagu ballad, dunia rock 'n' roll memperoleh fondasi komersial yang selanjutnya dapat dikembangkan musisi rock 'n' roll penerusnya.


Pada masa kejayaannya, konser-konser Elvis dihadiri penggemarnya (kebanyakan remaja) dalam jumlah yang sangat besar. Gaya, sifat, serta cara berpakaiannya menjadi simbol bagi musik rock 'n' roll dan banyak ditiru penggemarnya. Bahkan 4000 remaja Inggris menahbiskan Elvis sebagai raja trendsetter tata rambut sepanjang zaman.

Awal perkenalan Elvis dengan dunia rekaman di mulai saat musim panas 1953. Elvis membayar US$3,98 untuk merekam dua buah lagu di perusahaan Sun Studios sebagai hadiah ulang tahun bagi ibunya. Pendiri Sun, Sam Phillips, tertarik pada suaranya dan memanggilnya pada Juni 1954 untuk mengisi posisi penyanyi ballad yang sedang kosong.

Tahun 1956 merupakan awal karir Elvis sebagai penyanyi profesional. Tanggal 27 Januari Elvis merilis single pertamanya Heartbreak Hotel, dibawah label RCA Victor Records. Tanggal 23 Maret, RCA merilis album pertama Elvis , bertajuk: ELVIS PRESLEY.

Pada tahun yang sama, 16 November, film pertama Elvis, LOVE ME TENDER, diluncurkan. Film ini menuai banyak kritik, namun mendapat angka penjualan yang sangat baik. Secara keseluruhan Elvis tampil dalam 31 judul film.

Hasil penjualan album perdana Elvis meledak menjelang akhir 1950-an dengan hit-hitnya, antara lain All Shook Up, (Let me be your) Teddy Bear dan I Need Your Love Tonight. Meskipun demikian, banyak kritikus tidak terkesan. Selain itu, penampilan Elvis di panggung banyak menuai kritik, karena dianggap sebagai pornografi.

Bulan Desember 1957, Elvis dipanggil untuk ikut tugas militer dengan Angkatan Bersenjata AS. Ia resmi masuk Angkatan Bersenjata pada 24 Maret 1958, kemudian ditugaskan di Jerman, dan dilepastugaskan dengan hormat dua tahun
kemudian.

Sekembalinya dari wajib militer, karir musiknya sempat meredup akibat "diganggu" profesi lainnya sebagai aktor dan hilangnya peranan dia dalam memilih jenis lagu yang ia mainkan. Selain itu, terjadi kebangkitan musik Britania/Inggris (British Invasion; The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, dan lain-lain).
Elvis melakukan comeback, yang sukses melalui penampilan televisi pada 3 Desember 1968 berjudul '68 Comeback Special. Karir musiknya kembali bersinar setelah ia mendapatkan kesempatan dalam acara tersebut untuk bermain dalam jalur yang paling ia sukai, rock 'n' roll.

Pada tahun berikutnya, Elvis memulai penampilan live yang laris di berbagai tempat, diawali dari Las Vegas dan berlanjut negara-negara bagian lainnya di Amerika Serikat. Antara tahun 1969 dan 1977, The King of Rock 'n' Roll tampil dalam 1.000 acara yang tiketnya terjual habis.

Akibat kecanduan obat-obat dokter seperti obat tidur, kesehatan dan penampilannya mengalami penurunan sekitar pertengahan 1970-an. The King tampil untuk terakhir kalinya dalam sebuah konser di Market Square Arena di Indianapolis, Indiana tanggal 26 Juni 1977.
Pada 16 Agustus 1977, Elvis ditemukan meninggal dunia di rumahnya di Graceland, Memphis akibat serangan jantung. Saat itu ia berusia 42 tahun. penyebab kematiannya hampir sama dengan Michael jackson yang meninggal akibat serangan jantung.

Superman Is Dead - Broken Guidance

Music: bobby cool, words: ekaroxx

So you’ve ever heard the stories?.
There’s no reason of being blind
I begin to setup my worries
Should be left until you’re right

No one will catch you
Someone hunts your needs
Many good signs can advise you through the timeline

Greater range of explanation
Too many lies that come to mind
Pretty doubt on destination
It makes sense to start the night

No one will steer you
I’ll be on your wings
Facing down to heal the broken guidance of us
And start a new light

**
There is way much to forget you
Than standing here to get to know you
All the great day’s gonna make it go away

Flying down to set the guidance
It’s too late to leave the wrong way
Many saviors know the silent word then make it lost
And hard to find again

Superman Is Dead - Disposable Lies

Music: bobby cool, words: ekaroxx

However much you want to show that
You keep me inside and what you really care
Have a close look deep into your flame
Time is running out, nothing to hide away

**
I know we’re both all right
It’s time to go, start running around
Do it faster that I write
Leave it all behind, all the things we’ve burnt
Cruising down the memory

It’s time to go, start running around
Do it faster that I write
Since I don’t know what the last
Heaven’s got it all

Picking up the way back to get home
It’s the hardest thing that we think all night
Anything could be the adventure
It’s all growing and beyond the tragedy

**
Since I don’t know what the last
Since I don’t know what the lies
Hell! I don’t know what the nice
Heaven’s got it all

Superman Is Dead - Falling Down

Music: bobby cool, words: ekaroxx

Male:
My friend just called me up to join his party
I found myself dressing up fine, just like the king

My lady stepped beside me. Sexy, damn! She burned the place
She whispered "I will never loose this night , ever"
Tequila's blasting out my mind. Everything's about going wild.
When I looked at you, my lady! You! My friend took you! I got drunk
Then nothing I can do.

****
Falling down
Fall fall falling down. Tease my head out loud
Falling down
Fall falling down. Keep my face against the wall
Falling down
Fall fall falling down. Push the light against the clouds.
The night's going dark, totally dark. I'm all outta stars

Female:
Waiting for your lovely kiss that night
No one knew, I was lost in the park
And then I found someone to make me laugh
His eyes so bright, blew me away
He cares more than you

When I returned, I could not leave his burning heart alone
I though you knew what it was that I had to do
Deep in my heart, he's got a million ways to go
And sure, I like.. The great new house, the brand new cars
Your friend is mine. And so what? nothing I can do
****

Male:
Those who punish me are guilty babe
It's so great! Being a lady
Should I send you your make up bag?
Just to make you comfortable


Female:
I'm a normal girl, I am not the same
But I love his air con room
There's nothing wrong with me...again, nothing I can do
I've got someone new, I keep walking thru


Male:
I wanna know how far is hell from you?

Female:
Hey!, I am not the winner of this race!
You have to be warmer than him actually. Could you say "good luck" for my new destination ?.
You said you would be proud if I've done what's right for me.
…oh no no no no no….bullshit!

Superman Is Dead - Great Dream Of Society

Music: bobby cool, words: ekaroxx

A call from confusion makes sure my head really gets in
Time’s too short, leave me out of history
Move the conclusion; it’s not fully clued in
The case’s now begun, beyond the territory

*
Every place seems to start fade away
I’ve got no more direction, that I am supposed to be
My decision’s still flying over me
Hell is burning who will eat those flames?

**
No matter what to say
I’m just starting up
Forced to walk away
Who’s gonna lead the way up
And what they say
Will it be enough?
Help to put me out the disease

Another light movement, growing up without lessons
Frozen in the flashlight…the next priority?
Too much louder noise makes me hard to recognize
Destiny is dying, no other way to say it

*, **

Dreaming of having a great society
Going fast through the multi crosses
Here I’m still reading letter by letter
Find the best way to break up the Ice

Superman Is Dead - Long Way To The Bar

Riding on, such a fantasy,
Found me out this nigh,
Rolling on the scream
Not too loud, drag me out,
What it’s all about
Now I repeat, all the memories,
Need more time to share,
Growing on the link
So much fun, yes it’s fun,
Damn I cannot back

Sometimes I’m down,
Sometimes you down
But it just seems allright now
Turn off the light,
Let’s go to the bar

Times is running on my own
I’m not slow hey I’m still fine
What about another drinks
Goin’ nowhere fast
So why have to care

Looking for such an alibi,
Rolling all the dice,
Choosing just one lie
Truth don’t lie, alcohol does,
How can that be fair

In the corner now,
Dark and full of smoke,
Spending all my cash,
Action cannot wait,
Where’s the fun,
And all my friends,
They all leave me here !

Sometimes I’m down,
Sometimes you fucked !
But it just seems allright now
Turn off the light,
Let’s go to the bar

Superman Is Dead - Tv Brain

They never know
How much i like the colour black
They never know
How much i spent for the cocaine
But now i’m sure they sell the pain
Just for the game
Unless you fool me in the way
Of this goddamn world!
I will walk again,
I will speak in vain
When there’s nothing stand
Against my revenge
Good enough to blame,
When everyone’s insane
So i can sneak
In the back of your mind

Constitution fall
I reach up the sky,
I follow the lust,
End up like a winner
Television brain inside

Go away...
The telivision brain
I’ll walk away.....
Just one step closer to the
Castaway.......
I’ve watched the TV show
Now i feel blind.....
The news is on i just

I fell numb inside me,
I feel hate just surround me
God i do not want this thing
I could never change !

They never know
How much i like
My favorite bands
But magazine they just turns
Everyting so bad
It’s time for me to watch
You guys get fucking burn
We’re gonna blow your mind
Just like the atom bomb !

I’ll get up again,
I will kick and shout
And there’s nothing stand
Against my revenge
It’s so easy to blame,
When everyone’s insane
I sneak in to the back
Of your mind

Superman Is Dead - My Girlfriend Is Pregnant

My girldfriend is pregnant
I can not believe what have done
My girlfriend is pregnant
Something’s left inside
It’s happened
My brain is stacking,
Got no place to hide
She still arround me
Oh no I can’t run
Suicide infront of me
So what to do
Remember she loves me
And it’s make me kind

Luck is not on my side
I found that I’ve lost my brain
Please help me
Out this blinded mind
To face reality

Oh no, this is a story
This is a story of human life
Marriage, it just the last style
It just the last style
Of human game

Why do I have to run
It just a part of a game
Marriage can be more tasty
And fantasy than suicide

Superman Is Dead - Bad Bad bad

Think about you make me feel right
To stand above all this beauty
To sing about the way I run away, from
The colour of desire in my head
Don’t you know we can make it
You and me we could grow old
Something there’s so
significant, admit it
You’ll never ever gonna
bring me down

It’s not a secret that I should keep
It’s not a shame so I won’t hide it
And all this pain
I got from you is true, girl
My deepest thought is crying out loud

Bad bad bad, the time is up again
Sad sad sad, my heart is burning red
You’re miles away, I wonder why
All those 10 days,
That’s all I have inside

Bad bad bad, I hurt you once so bad
Sad sad sad, if I just could make it right
Be stronger now ‘cos you’ll be back
Close my eyes and
It’s worth a thousand kiss

I remember when we drunk
It was just so much fun
But time goes by so fast

Think about you make me feel brave
To fight alone all this beauty
To sing about the way I run away, from
This devil deep inside my soul
