Boston vs Hoodoo Gurus More/Less than a feeling












La mejor banda de rock americano de los 80 comenzó su declive a principios de los 90. Esto es una broma o un ejemplo. Este blog no es kiss fm, pero en esta entrada pongo la conocida canción de Boston y la broma que hicieron Hooddo Gurus de esta canción. Como vereis sigo en Australia.

Lime Spiders "Slave Girl"


Sigo con bandas australianas. Ahora le toca el turno a Lime Spiders con este clásico del Rock Aussie:"slave girl", por partida doble, en audio versión estudio y en video versión en directo.
Esta canción está en su disco "Headcleaner" (1988)














Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know

I drag her around wherever I go

This little woman drives me insane

She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain

For sixteen years she's been hangin' around

Try'n' to bury me in a hole in the ground

Well I think it's time that I even the score

There's only room for one in this cage of yours

Don't save me when I'm startin' to drown

Don't use me when you don't want me around

Just be my slave girl 'cause that's all I need

So take a little step back to the stone age with me. Go!

Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed

I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head

I look around tried to see through my hair

You left me alone, but do you think I care?

'Cause you moved me when I was takin' my time

You abused me when I'm outta line

You tried to warn me of the danger sign

So watch out, go

Well, you got me in the bondage of another age

You drive me to distraction in a primitive way

I can't control my instincts when I hear her say

"Just come around and see me if you lose your way"

So join my chain gang play along with me

I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be

I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my dream

The Chills "Heavenly pop hit"






Se trata sin duda de la mejor y más famosa canción de este grupo que, por lo menos en España, mereció más suerte.




Each evening the sun sets in five billion places,
Seen by ten billion eyes set in five billion faces,
Then they close, end the day, and wait for the dawing,
But the daylight and sunrise,
Are brighter in our eyes,
Once we were dead now I guess we are angels
For we passed though the dark and avoided the dangers
Then I walk with a...... startling changes
All the tension is ended, the sentance suspended,
darkenss sparkles and gleams.
And it all seems larger than life to me
I find it rather hard rather hard to believe.
So I stand as the sound goes straight through my body,
I'm so bloated up, happy, and I throw things around me.
And Im growing in stages, and have been for ages,
Just singing and floating and free.
Dum de dum dum
Its a heavenly pop hit
If anyone wants it.
Dum de dum dum
Its a heavenly pop hit,
Its something that we're humming as
We swoop low on trees, always sweep under carpets,
We can dive into suns though its not recommended
We can hover, silent, and listen, closely,
It all seems, (all seems)
Larger than life to me,
I find it, (find it)
Hard to believe,
So I wear what i want
Well, ............. fruit had a can
They'd been that way for years
Yet their lives are elsatic,
They should be fantastic,
They should be splendid.
Dum de dum dum
Dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit,
If anyone wants it.
Dum de dum dum
Dum de dum dum
It's a heavenly pop hit,
For anybody,
For those that still want it.

Augustana "Meet You There"



Augustana es una banda de pop-rock alternativo de Illinois, creada a mediados de esta década y con dos discos editados. Esta canción es de su segundo disco "Can´t love, can´t hurt" (2008).



Climb up on a mountain, just to watch it come down
But sooner or later babe, you're gonna need me around
'Cause you're getting older, there ain't no stopping that
It's a backstabbing world honesty, just lean your head back
The fool in meIt's like a dream, you see
But if the world is right
I'll drive all night
And meet you there someday
Six in the morning, never felt so sweet
Just put on Lucinda baby, and dance with me
I know I'm hard to count on
Forget half what I'm told
You probably only know my voice from
A goddam microphone
It's a waste
A teenage taste of me
But if Daddy criesJ
ust say goodnight
And I'll come
If I could change
I'd keep away the rain
And the sun would shine every night
And I'll come meet you there someday...

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart "Come Saturday"



Fenomenal primer disco (2009) de esta banda de Nueva York, la cual he conocido gracias a Paco Belda. Tan sólo tengo el disco una semana y no he tenido tiempo para escucharlo en profundidad, pero aún así me recuerdan un poco a The Pastel. Indie pop que hace que no perdamos la esperanza, todavía hay gente que hace buena música. De momento de lo mejor de este año.






I can´t stand to see you picture
on the dress where i left you
another sunny day
and you're 80 miles away, tuesday
but come saturday, you'll come to stay
you'll come to sway in my arms
who cares if there's a party somewhere
we're gonna stay in
come saturday, you'll come to say
maybe there's no harm
in a wasted summer with no drummer,
we're gonna stay in
i could stand to be a fixture
in a faded family picture
but i can't see into the sunset
all i know is that you're perfect right now
but come saturday, you'll come to stay
you'll come to sway in my arms
who cares if there's a party somewhere
we're gonna stay in
come saturday, you'll come to say
maybe there's no harm
in a wasted summer with no drummer,
we're gonna stay in
you don't have to write at all
you don't have to make a call
i know that you will come again and again
you don't have to dress to please
perhaps undress for me
i know that when you come we'll be staying in

Toad the Wet Sprocket "Come Down"

Banda de los años 90 de California, rock alternativo con aires agridulces y melancólicos. Clara influencia de R.E.M. Esta banda dejó de existir en 1998 y desde entonces su lider Glen Phillips tiene una amplía discografía en solitario en la presente decada. Esta canción es de su último disco "Coil" de 1997







Open up and let me in
I was lucky to live, don't need to win
Forgave myself and if that's a sin
It's not enough you'd even know it
You did right to call my bluff'cause i won't say when i have had enough
And i worked so hard to need this stuff
And you tried so long to just ignore it
Won't you come down where i am
Words are hidden, understand
I won't repeat myself again
I will not repeat myself again
It's another promise d.o.a.
And despite my every hope
There is no truth behind my best intentioned oath
Won't you come down where i am
Words are hidden, understand
Won't you come down
Been away too long, i know i have
Won't you come down, help me stand
There is healing in your hands
Won't you come down where i am
Words all leave me
Been away too long
I know i've been away too long
I know i have

Microdisney "Birthday Girl"



Preciosa canción de este duo irlandés que pasó por los años 80 con más pena que gloria. Esta canción es un single de 1985 (no está en ningún LP). Sin duda alguna una de las mejores canciones de la década de los 80.

Sexy Sadie "Stay behind me"



Preciosa canción de esta banda de Mallorca, creada en 1992 y disuelta en 2006, aunque este año han decidido hacer dos conciertos el 12 y 19 de junio en Barcelona y Madrid, en lo que parece ser su reaparición definitiva. Para mi son uno de los mejores grupos que ha dado este país, si no el mejor. Esta canción es de su tercer disco "It´s beatiful, it´s love". Indie pop de altura. En esta canción interviene la cantante Najwa Nimri.







Lay down in time, feelings from a hundred thousand miles.
I felt so wrong contrasting me against the world.
But I know how it changes and I know how to fight.
Is this coming right from hell? Or is a fuckin´ lie?
I was alone when you came knocking on my door.
My fever was high, you tried to get into my life.
But I know how you changed and I know how you fight
Are you coming right from hell? Or are you a fuckin´lier?
Save me! Save me! If you stay behind me, nothing hurts me babe.
I´m here! I'm here! Please return me to the place where I feel well,
where I feel save, where I feel well,where I feel so close to my friends.
Take me! Take me! If you just stay by my side for good...
Those days were dark, but all my dreams came true at last.
I´ve found the love that many years I´ve been looking for.
But I know how it changes and I know how it fights.
Is this coming right from hell? Or is a fuckin´lie?
Save me! Save me! If you stay behind me, nothing hurts me babe.
I´m here! I'm here! Please return me to the place where I feel well,
where I feel save, where I feel well,where I feel so close to my friends.
Take me! Take me! If you just stay by my side for good...


The Posies "Ontario"



La fenomenal banda de Ohio vuelve a este blog, seguro que no será la última. Además de estar muy bien esta canción tiene una pequeña historia personal. Este disco es de 1996 y fue el disco definitivo, el que hizo que esta banda se consagrara. Power pop, pop alternativo, pero con el sello personal de los dos lideres de este grupo Jon Auer y Ken Stringfellow.





When I told you what you wanted to know
You said, "Take me to Ontario"
When I showed you what you wanted to see
You said, "The flower that you planted in me has gone dry," yeah
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
When I showed you what I wanted to build
And all the enemies would never be killed
There'll be a saint living under the stairs
So we'll be free of material cares
Black paint on the walls in summer, it's cool, yeah, it's cool
Black paint on the walls in summer, it's cool, yeah, it's cool
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
When I told you what I wanted to know
You said "Take me to Ontario"
When I asked you, "Why Ontario?"
You said, "It sounds good on the radio" -- go!
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
Black birds flying overhead, waiting for somebody to die
Black birds flying overhead, waiting for somebody to die

One Republic "Mercy"


Banda creada en Colorado (Estados Unidos) a mediados de esta década. Estilo similar a The Fray, Augustana y Maroon 5, entre otros. Hacen un indie pop alternativo bastante decente para los tiempos que corren. La canción de esta entrada se encuentra en los dos discos que de momento tiene esta banda: "One Republic"0 y "Dreaming out loud"





Angel of Mercy
How did you find me?
Where did you read my story?
Pulled from the papers
Desperate and hardened seeking a momentary fix
All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel I wanted to love
It's all my fault now
A Tragedy I fear Angel of Mercy
How did you find me? How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa Whoa Whoa I feel you Whoa Whoa Whoa
Fortress of daylight come in and standby
Waiting to catch the quickest plane
Flying to nowhere Is better than somewhere
That's where I've been and nothing's changed
All I wanted to say
All I wanted to do Is fall apart now
All I wanted to feel
I wanted to love It's all my fault now
A Tragedy for sure
Angel of Mercy
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you
Whoa Whoa Whoa I feel you Whoa Whoa Whoa
I'm so lost in you
A tragedy seemed to be over now
A tragedy it seemed to be
Angel of Mercy How did you find me?
How did you pick me up again?
Angel of Mercy
How did you move me?
Why am I on my feet again?
And I see you whoa
I feel you Whoa I feel you
Oh Whoa I feel you Oh Oh Oh

The Divine Comedy "Every knows (except you)"


The Divine Comedy es el cantautor norirlandés Neil Hannon, su primer disco es de 1993. Esta canción es de cuarto disco "A short album about love" (1997). Pop alternativo melódico, un poco amanerado y grandilocuente.
I told the stars above about the one I love
I told the morning sun, yeah I'm telling everyone
I told my mum and dad, they seemed to understand
And I'll get through to you if it's the last thing that I do
Everybody knows that I love you
Everybody knows that I need you
Everybody knows that I do except you
I told all of my friends again and again and again
I drove them round the bend so now you're my only friend
I told the passers by, I made a small boy cry
And I'll get through to you if it's the last thing that I do
Everybody knows I live for you
Everybody knows I adore you
Everybody knows that it's true except you

Sondre Lerche "Say it all"




Nacido en Bergen (Noruega) de lo mejor del indie pop de la presente decada. Esta canción es de su cuarto disco "Phantom Punch" de 2.007







Last stop
Montauk
Try to get
Back on track
No vacation
Don't give up
Just don't look back
If you're looking for an answer, dig in
I have said too much already I cannot win
This could go on for forever on end
Theres nowhere to turn
Nowhere to begin this isn't a joke it's merely a sin
There is no way to say it all Play it again and say it all
I said a little
The rest is a riddle
Our night's too short to say it all
Play it again and say it all
You know the punch line It's all in the punchline
Pale wind blowing
Cutting right
To the coreYou're so patient
When the wreck washed ashore
If you ever need forgiveness,
I giveI have done so many incomprehensible things
This could go on for forever on end
Theres nowhere to run
Nowhere to escape
Don't tell me you knew until we awake
There is no way to say it all
Play it again and say it all
I said a little
The rest is a riddle
Our night's too short to say it all
Play it again and say it all
Do you know the punchline?
It's all in the punchline
Now and again we can leave it all behind
Now and again we can leave it all behind
There is no way to say it all
Play it again and say it allI said a little
The rest is a riddle
Our night's too short to play it all
Say it again and play it all
You know the punchline
It's all in the punchline
I said a little
The rest is a riddle
You know the punchline
It's all in the punchline
I said a little the rest is a riddle
you know the punchline,
it's all in the punchline

Redbus "Tuesday"

Esta gente es todo un misterio. Me compré este disco hace unos diez años. El disco se llama Redbus, como el grupo y es la referencia 01 de Von´s Music, distribuido por Caroline España y agradecimientos en los créditos a Cadena 100. A pesar de todo, no he encontrado nada en ningún sitio de esta gente. No sé de que año es (no lo pone en ningún sitio en el disco). Hacen pop británico y son muy buenos. Desconozco porque más que un grupo maldito es un grupo oculto.



La canción se llama Tuesday.

See the dim light mornig crown
feel lt turn you upside down
get to feeling something´s around you
There´s a new day and it´s gonna drown you
I´ll wake up tuesday if I like
goodbye monday
tuesday´s fine
I need some shelter
I´d like to trust you but I know
tuesday´s fine, so fine
you know, you know that
she´s so fine, so fine
I won´t suffer
too much today, too much to take
take a slow dive
with you wing open
taste the green star, as the words spoken
there´s a reason racked up behind you
shake you head off, If a like
goodbye monday
tuesday fine

Cada vez tengo más claro que el mundo de la música esta loco y que el arte no tiene porque ser democrático. Diez segundos de esta canción valen más que toda la discografía de Sergio Dalma, por ejemplo.

Velvet Crush


Banda de Power pop, nacida en Providence (Rhode Island) en 1989, influencias de The Byrds y Big Star entre otros, muy parecidos a Teenage Fanclub, pero con menos suerte. esta gente tienen siete discos. Las dos canciones que acompaño con esta entrada son de su segundo disco "Teenage Symphonies to God" de 1994


Star Trip








Hold me now






Dos grandes canciones.



Idlewild "American English"

Grupo de Edimburgo, formado en 1995, esta canción fue el primer single de su tercer disco "The remote part" de 2002.







Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in
And if you believe that now I understand
Why words mean so much to you, they’ll never be about you Maybe you’re young without youth
Or maybe you’re old without knowing anything true
I think you’re young without youth
Then you contract the American dream,
you never look up once
You’ve contracted American dreams,
I require you to stop and look up
Sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing’s true?
Maybe it’s that nothing is newSo you let me hear songs that were written all about you
The good songs weren’t written for you, they’ll never be about you
Then you contract the American dream, you never look up once
You’ve contracted American dreams, you never look up once
so don’t look up Sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible worldSing a song about myself, keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world And I won’t tell you what this means, ‘cause you’ll already know
And I won’t tell you what this means,
‘cause you already know So sing a song about myself,
keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world And you came along and found the weak spot,
but you’ve always wanted
And let yourself be everything, that you’ve always wanted
It doesn’t have to be so decided, you’ve always wanted
And no need for explanations, that you’ve always wanted
You’ll find what you find when you find there’s nothing
And you’ll find what you find when you find there’s nothing

Gigolo Aunt "The Girl from Yesterday"

Hace unas semanas nos dejó Antonio Vega, está versión demuestra lo grande que fue ese autor. El mundo al revés. Una banda de Los Estados Unidos, haciendo una versión de una canción española del pop de los 80. Esta una versión digna de esa gran canción.


One day you don't even know what time it is
You lay by my side but still you don't know why
The empty streets have seen you grow and change
But I know in your heart you might be crying again
I look out of the window for the girl I knew yesterday
Smiling in the flowers of my favorite garden
Too hard to understand too late to comprehend
While you and I can never be together again
The early morning light that slowly fills the room
Makes your golden hair shine like the sun
And late up in Penta I'm still listening to
Every song that ever made me fall for you..f
ell for you I look out of the window for the girl
I knew yesterday So hard to understand there's nothing
I can do Now I'm going out of my mind following you
Going out of my mind following you...
Going out of my mind following you...
Going out of my mind following you...
Going out of my mind following you...

The Go-Betweens "Lee Remick"













Banda creada en Brisbane (Australia) en 1.978, esta canción dedicada a la actriz, Lee Remick, fue compuesta hace treinta años por uno de los dos pilares de este grupo Robert Forster, el otro es el recordado Grant McLennan.



LEE REMICK
She comes from Ireland
She’s very beautiful
I come from Brisbane
I’m quite plain
She’s from the mountains, so close to heaven
Clouds on her shoes, stars on her chest
I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling
She was in The Omen with Gregory Peck
She got killed, what the heck
Her eyes are like gems
She’s an actress for Screen Gems
I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling
Her hair’s red, but it’s not dye
If I touched her, I know I’d want to cry
My life is desperation, but it’s only infatuation
I love Lee Remick, she’s a darling

She colourblind tired eyes
Her hallway aching
She'll never move him
likes it that way
He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said -I know her
She said
Why do you stare so hard
Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fall
I said
I know her
The last time I saw you,
You were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face,
I watched you fall apart
It's not too soon he said
It's not too soon at all
You might as well be dead he said
If you're afraid to fallI said,
done your time
been in your place
I couldn't look you in the face
and tell you that it turns me on
it makes my stomach turn
I know her

The Long Blondes "Once and never again"


Esta canción es de su primer disco, "Someone to drive you home", es de 2.006 (publicado en el mes de noviembre), la influencia de la new wave es más que evidente. Para mi, una de las grandes sorpresas de esta década.




19. you're only 19 for God's sake,
Oh, you don't need a boyfriend.
19. you're only 19 for God's sake,
Oh, you don't need a boyfriend.

Look what he's made you do to your arm again,
He said he'd come round but he's gone out with his friends,
And I know how it feels to be your age
and feel the world is caving in.

Another drama by the kitchen sink tonight,
You said you'd cut yourself whilst washing up the knives,
Another week off school won't do you any good,
And I know how it feels to be your age.

19. you're only 19 for God's sake,
Oh, you don't need a boyfriend.
19. you're only 19 for God's sake,
Oh, you don't need a boyfriend.

Come back with me, and find out what you really want,
Come home with me you'll only have to do it once,
'cause I know what it feels like to be your age,
You only have to do it once,
And never again.

Another drama by the kitchen sink tonight,
You said you'd cut yourself whilst washing up the knives,
Another week off school won't do you any good,
And I know how it feels to be your age.

You know I'm not so young,
I spend an hour getting ready every day,
And still I end up looking more or less the same,
But I could show you,
a thing or two.

Oh, I could show you the ropes,
Yes I could show you the ropes,
And I would cut my hair for you,
'Cause I know how it feels.

I know how it feels to be your age,
I know how it feels to be your age,
Oh, how I'd love to feel a girl your age,
Your age,
Once and never again

The Church "Almost with you"


Cuando una canción es buena da igual el tiempo que haya pasado. Esta banda nació en Sidney en 1980, canción es de su tercer disco "The Blurred Crusade" (1982). ATENCION AL SOLO DE GUITARRA. Años después "BB Sin Sed" lo copió enterito.


See the chains which bind the men
Can you taste their lonely arrogance
Its always too late
And your face is so cold
They struggled for this opulence
See the suns which blind the men
Burnt away so long before our time
Now their warmth is forgotten and gone
Pretty maids not far behind
Who you trying to get in touch with
Im almost with you
I can sense it wait for me
Im almost with you
Is this the taste of victory
Im almost with you
See the dust which fills your sleep
Does it always feel this chill near the end
I never dreamed wed meet here once more
This life reserved for a friend

Pixies "Monkey gone to heaven"
















De su disco "Doolitle" (1989)

"Monkey Gone To Heaven"




there was a guy

an under water guy who controlled the sea
got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
from new york and new jersey

this monkey's gone to heaven
the creature in the sky
got sucked in ahole

now there's a hole in the sky

and the ground's not cold
and if the ground's not cold

everything is gonna burn

we'll all take turns
i'll get mine, too

this monkey's gone to haven
rock me joe!

if man is 5 [3x]

then the devil is 6 [5x]
then god is 7 [3x]

this monkey's gone to heaven
