Rosia Montana from Pissin'around by Fik y las Flores Molestas

This song was born on request, Federico participated in some ecological demonstrations held in Berlin, and a little around the world, to save Rosia Montana from fracking and an activist asked him to report the crime with a song. Thus was born Rosia Montana, a protest song that contains many styles and influences within itself: the distorted grunge chords played by the guitar recalls Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, the obsessive rhythm of the drums recalls Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2, there they are funky rhythms and accents, the reverse effect applied to the voices by the sound engineer Francesco Cecco Bruni adds a nice touch of psychedelia as well as some particular recorded percussion by Amedeo (scissors, metal objects) and his additions of "scretch" and synthesizers. The guitar solo is inspired by John Frusciante's solo in Scar Tissue (not intentionally or "prepared", same goes for the other songs).

Lyrics

You're raping our mother
You're poisoning our water
You're killing our history
You're throwing us out

Well you have to stop it
Cause you don't know what you're doing
Now listen to our voices
Don't you get our rage
Everybody listen to our voices
Don't you get our love

You won't hush us You have to listen 
You won't hush us You gotta to listen
You won't hush us You have to listen 
You won't hush us You gotta to listen

Let's save Rosia Montana
Let's save Rosia Montana 
Let's save Rosia Montana
Let's save Rosia Montana
