Message du groupe Godspeed you! Black Emperor

Voici un message que l'excellent groupe Godspeed you! Black Emperor donnait à son spectacle des 13, 14 et 15 avril derniers, au théâtre Rialto (Montréal).

Dearest strangers/friends,

Often we feel a communication gap between us&you. Playing the saddest rock&roll in these alienated beerhalls, we're shy and clumsy w/the words mostly but need to say this now finally or once&for all-

We live in rich countries- we got more kinds of kicks/entertainment than we need; also, we're gifted w/access to so much information, "facts" and knowledge... If you don't already know or believe that millions of innocents are maimed, starved, tortured, shot or exploded in our name, by our own corrupt politicians, then nothing we do or say'll ever convince you...

There are millions of us worldwide who don't want any more blood on our hands. There are millions of us who want to stop this murderous nonsense forever.

Together we can tear their crummy monsters down... It's not a naive daydream. (there are more of us than them...)

It could start happening tonight or tomorrow. (It'll begin in the tiniest little ways...)

Please think on how to make it happen. These are urgent times: find the faintest light there and run towards it slowly... when the call goes out. Please march w/other strangers/friends

There's a sweetness in clumsy efforts, stubborn hope always trumps lazy greed, &gentle hearts tear vulgar castles down.

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

Love. Godspeed you! Black Emperor
