Not ready to make nice, Dixie Chicks [música]

   Escuché esta canción hace muchos, muchos años... y me sorprendió su crudeza. No estoy demasiado acostumbrada a las canciones sobre rencor, sobre no poder perdonar, sobre que alguien te haya hecho tanto daño, que seas incapaz de olvidarlo. Es una canción muy visceral, y debe haber algo de realidad bajo la letra, porque la cantante lo vive. El vídeo es brutal, pero la interpretación en directo no se queda atrás. 



Y os dejo también esta otra versión:




Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.

They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting



I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep paying



I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should



I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it



I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over



I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should



I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should



Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting 



Lo curioso, es que aunque esta canción me fascina muchísimo, y me parece prácticamente perfecta, no he escuchado apenas nada más de este grupo.
