about
“Hard Fight” is pure rock'n'roll energy, an adrenaline rush to listen to at high volume! When the Mad Dogs wrote this song they tried to mix a 70s sound, with a garage/proto punk attitude. The result is a powerful rhythmic section, spiced up with rough guitars, scratchy vocals and aggressive melodies. This unique piece saw the special participation of Nicola Bagnoli (Gli Avvoltoi) on the organ, while a pinch of soul was added by the backing vocals of Cristina Biondi and Francesca Zenobi. This song expresses all its incisiveness and strength thanks to the sharpness lyrics which are clearly an hymn against all adversities that life puts in front of you.
“It’s a hard fight, When you think it’s so hard, Always look around, Life is so strong, But don’t be sad, A bit of doubt makes it all more true!”
lyrics
Here again a new day begins – it’s a marked road
Work and commitments – it’s a marked road
It’s not like you thought it would go
But it’s the reality to come to terms whit
It’s a hard fight
When you think it’s so hard
Always look around
Life is so strong
But don’t be sad
There is always something to measure against
Would you like to turn the page – it’s a marked road
Don’t waste time to think about – it’s a marked road
Listen to your voice will know what to say
Don’t cry over it, will not change anything
It’s a hard fight
When you think it’s so hard
Always look around
Life is so strong
But don’t be sad
A bit of doubt makes it all more true
Keep your way
See the climb, think of the descent
Reach the summit
Don’t listen nobody
Speak your language
Live your time now
It’s a hard fight
When you think it’s so hard
Always look around
Life is so strong
But don’t be sad
A bit of doubt make it all more true.
