El estadounidense Matthew Sweet es una de las figuras esenciales del pop de guitarras de los últimos 15 años. Mentar su nombre es provocar la admiración entre los amantes del powerpop. La carrera de Matthew Sweet presenta una singular animadversión hacia el éxito. O hacia la presión que éste conlleva. Cada paso hacia la popularidad que ha dado, y su currículo presenta un par de discos de oro, ha estado seguido de un oscurecimiento de su sonido, cuando no de una reclusión en sí mismo.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

"Holy War"
EmG I've spent 20 years learning to live AmEm In a world that takes back all that it gives CD But I do not want a war
(Same for verse two)
EmGCD 'cause I'm not in for killing another man EmGCD Defending my holy land EmGCD As if there's a god who would understand
(Verse 3 - same pregression as Verses 1 and 2)
(Chorus 2 - same as 1)
C - -- Em Feeding the promised land
(I'm sure if he just changes his bass strings like C-B-A-G-E, or if he changes the entire chord as in C-G-Am-G-Em....anyway, he starts with C and ends with Em!)
C - -- Em With your blood by my own hand C At Allah's own command D At Allah's own command
Lyrics:
I've spent twenty years learning to live In a world that takes back all that it gives But I do not want a war
I don't know what's going on In the scenes behind I worry about it some of the time And I hope there's not a war
'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand
And I would walk across highways To find my fate If that might settle your crude debate But I do not want a war
'Cause I'm not in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand
Feeding the promised land With your blood by my own hand At allah's own command At allah's own command
I came up from the desert and here I will die Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye Though I didn't want a war
I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand I went in for killing another man Defending my holy land As if there's a god who would understand As if there's a god who would understand Oh yeah...
