Orange Juice "Dying Day"

2011-10-09T18:05:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Orange Juice
Canción: Dying Day
Disco: You can't hide your love forever (1982)
Estilo: Indie Pop

Afortunadamente en los años 80 se hicieron canciones como esta.

Somebody is whispering
Tongues are a-twisting
My eyes are glistening
Say hello to your débutante
And say bye-bye to true love

I heard your bugle playing
The sweetest music to my eyes
I'm not afraid to say it
I'm close to tears

We'll run away
And I'll always believe
Until my dying day
My dying day

I say I'm not sorry
To cast you off, discourteously
When you talk so realistically
The thrill of love
Has gone for me

I heard your bugle playing
The sweetest music to my eyes
I'm not afraid to say it
I'm close to tears

We'll run away
And I'll always believe
Until my dying day
My dying day

Husker Dü "Makes no sense at all"

2011-10-01T19:50:00.003+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Husker Dü

Canción: Makes no sense at all

Disco: Flip your wig (1985)

Estilo: Noise Rock.

Walking around with your head in the clouds
Makes no sense at all
Sell yourself short, but you're walking so tall
Makes no sense at all
Is it important? You're yelling so loud
Makes no sense at all
Walking around with your head in the clouds
Makes no sense at all
Makes no difference at all

I don't know why you want to tell me
When I'm right or when you're wrong
It's the same thing, in your mind, the only time
I'm right is when I play along

You concern yourself with evidence
It's evident to me
Well you say you've got the tiger by the tail
But I don't see these things that way

Wilco "Born alone"

2011-09-25T12:14:00.002+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Wilco
Canción: Born Alone
Disco: The whole love
Estilo: Rock alternatico, indie rock.

Esta canción se encuentra en el último disco de Wilco. La pregunta es: ¿Está agotado el proyecto musical Wilco? Quizás no, pero empieza a dar síntomas de eso. No quiero decir que el disco sea malo, sólo que a ciertas bandas se le exige más por su calidad y trayectoria. Otra cosa es el negocio y es que parece que si no tienes disco nuevo no merece la pena hacer conciertos ... creo que me estoy metiendo en un tema complicado que además no es objeto de este blog.

R.E.M "Harborcoat"

2011-09-24T18:52:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: R.E.M

Canción: Harborcoat

Disco: Reckoning (1984)

Estilo: Rock Alternativo.

Pues bien. Esta semana la banda de Rock alternativo R.E.M ha anunciado su disolución, esto ha sido hasta noticia en los Telediarios y precisamente eso es lo que me llama la atención: que R.E.M lleve más de veinte años siendo una banda de Rock de lo más popular y conocida, con todos sus singles en las radio formulas y sin embargo se les siga llamando "alternativos".

Según mi opinión R.E.M fue una de las mejores bandas de los años 80 y de esos años vienen sus mejores canciones. quizá el último disco de R.E.M que merezca la pena como tal sea Out of time (1991), a partir de ese disco sólo algunas canciones se pueden salvar y hubo mucho marketing, promoción y canciones de relleno.

Que R.E.M se separen no es una mala noticia, es algo lógico, pero debería haberse producido diez o quince años antes.

R.E.M tiene muchas grandes canciones y para mi esta es la mejor.

Belle and Sebastian "Get me away from here, I'm dying"

2011-09-22T19:59:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Belle and Sebastian

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dyingPlay me a song to set me freeNobody writes them like they used toSo it may as well be meHere on my own now after hoursHere on my own now on a busThink of it this wayYou could either be successful or be usWith our winning smiles, and usWith our catchy tunes and wordsNow we're photogenicYou know, we don't stand a chanceOh, I'll settle down with some old storyAbout a boy who's just like meThought there was love in everything and everyoneYou're so naive!They always reach a sorry endingThey always get it in the endStill it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and thenWith a winning smile, the poor boyWith naivety succeedsAt the final moment, I criedI always cry at endingsOh, that wasn't what I meant to say at allFrom where I'm sitting, rainFalling against the lonely tenementHas set my mind to wanderInto the windows of my loversThey never know unless I write"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"Said the hero in the story"It is mightier than swordsI could kill you sureBut I could only make you cry with these words"

2011-08-24T18:39:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Clap your hands say yeah

Canción: Maniac

Disco: Hysterical

Estilo: Indie pop

Una de nuestras bandas indies favoritas, junto con The Drums y The pain of being pure at heart, va a sacar un nuevo disco el próximo 20 de septiembre. El disco se va a llamar Hysterical y por lo que he leído será bastante mejor que el segundo, con más vitalidad y optimismo. Maniac es el adelanto del disco, una canción brillante en sus dos acepciones como adjetivo, la canción brilla y desde luego es sobresaliente.

Grupo/Interprete: The Candyskins

Canción: Black Blue

Disco: Space I'm In (1991)

Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo, Power pop

The Candyskins es una de las muchas bandas con la suerte esquiva. Son ingleses y estuvieron en activo durante la década de los 90, donde publicaron tres discos muy buenos. La canción "Black and blue", se encuentra en el primer de los discos publicados, "Space I'm in" (1991) y cualquiera de las once canciones restantes es igual de buena.

The Jessica Fletchers "Bloody Seventies Love "

2011-08-09T18:28:00.000+02:00

Tacones "Dificil"

2011-07-27T13:09:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Tacones

Canción: Dificil

Disco: requien final (1981)

Estilo: pop, new wave.

Gracial al fenomenal y recomendable blog Sangre Española (http://sangrespanola.wordpress.com) he podido volver a escuchar esta canción casi treinta años después. Tacones es uno de los muchos grupos de finales de los 70 o principios de los 80 que fueron masacrados musicalmente por las discográficas con sonidos muy lejanos a la esencia de las bandas. Quizá esta canción sea la única excepción.

Como dato para confirmar lo anterior la producción del disco fue de Tino Casal y hubieron arreglos de Luís Cobos y Teddy Bautista.

Growing in numbers

Growing in speed

Can't fight the future

Can't fight what I see

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

Efforts of lovers

Left in my mind

I sing in the reaches

We'll see what we find

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

Slow slow slow, come come

Someone come come come

Even love is goin' 'round

You can't ignore what is goin' 'round

Slowly rebuilding

I feel it in me

Growing in numbers

Growing in peace

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together

(People they come together)

People they fall apart

(People they fall apart)

No one can stop us now

(No one can stop us now)

'Cause we are all made of stars

(We are all made of stars)

We are all made of stars

People they come together

We are all made of stars

(People they fall apart)

We are all made of stars

(No one can stop us now)

'Cause we are all made of stars

(We are all made of stars)

A.C Newman "There Are Maybe Ten or Twelve"

2011-05-27T19:10:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: A.C Newman
Canción: There Are Maybe Ten or Twelve
Disco: Get Guilty
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo, Indie Pop

A.C Newman fue miembro de Zumpano y en la actaulidad lo es de The New Pornographers, lo que de momento no le impide mantener una carrera discofráfica en solitario. Esta canción es de su segundo disco

there are maybe ten or twelve

things i could teach you

after that, well i think you're on your own

that wasn't their opening line

that was the tenth or the twelfth

make of that what you will

once there was a haunted loop

of your deep fallen tears

forehead resting on a record shelf

amid moving boxes stacked

i'm still waiting for the right words

make of that what you will

and the eyes they were

a color i can't remember

which says more than the first two verses

and it is the devil you know

that will slam the door harder

make of that what you will

Super Deluxe "What´s up with me"

2011-05-21T01:32:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Super Deluxe
Canción: What´s up with me
Disco: Via Satellite (1997)
Estilo: Power Pop

what's up with me

would you believe

i'm not exactly what i'm supposed to be

a grand cliche on holiday

from what i read i guess a dead giveaway

a reluctant dilettante

with no favorite work of art

or beloved poem that i wrote in rome or somewhere

i get every lesson a la carte

and a purple heart starved for air

je parle francais while i'm away

though i never have a thing to say

what's up with me complatency

far too obvious for you to agree

an idiot savant wondering if he's dumb or smart

struck by cupid's arrow

or a poison dart filled with fear and how

everything might fall apart

ending at the start insincere

what's up with me

born a scorpio

my deviations on display

well i feel all wrong though i'm a-okay (so they say...)

i know better than to act this way

hell i put you on touche

what's up with me

champs elysee

suddenly she's there

telling me that i'm to blame

je suis content

getting what i want

though i whisper the wrong name

au revoir

no small faux pas

thinking of you

Magnapop "Lay it down"

Grupo/Interprete: Magnapop
Canción: Lay it down
Disco: Hot Boxing (1994)
Estilo: Indie Rock, Punk Pop

A sense of worth

A sense of same

A sense of what is in your name

Of what it means to let you down

And pretend when you're around

Lay it down for the last time

And then turn away

Lay it down for the last time

Surely show your rage

I'm sorry doesn't matter

And it makes you mad

And if it always stays the same

Then you'll never see it

I'm sorry doesn't help it

And it turns you away

You know there's something there

And it's tearing away at

The part that kills your faith

A sense of worth

A sense of same

A sense of what is in your name

Of what it means to let you down

And pretend when you're around

Lay it down for the last time

And then turn away

Lay it down for the last time

Surely show your rage

Lay it down for the last time

And then turn away

Lay it down

I'm sorry doesn't matter

And it makes you mad

And if it always stays the same

Then you never see it

I'm sorry doesn't help it

And it turns you away

You know there's something there

And it's tearing away at

The part that kills your faith

A sense of worth

A sense of same

A sense of what is in your name

Of what it means to let you down

And pretend when you're around

Lay it down for the last time

And then turn away

Lay it down for the last time

Surely show your rage

Lay it down for the last time

And then turn away

Lay it down for the last time

Surely show your rage

Lay it down for the last time

And then turn away

Lay it down

I was walking down the street one day

Thinking 'bout the things I'd like to say

But it doesn't matter-it's okay

She never listens anyway

CHORUS

Who can it be, who can it be

Who can it be who's calling me?

Mary Alice, please won't you tell us

What is going on inside your head

I know I need you and don't believe you

When you say get someone else instead

I saw a person in my mind

The girl I thought I'd never find

But when I found her she was more

Than I had ever bargained for

CHORUS

When I saw you , I knew it must be true

That I would do anything you want me to

CHORUS

Carey Ott "I Wouldn't Do That to You"

2011-05-01T00:21:00.001+02:00

Carey Ott es un cantautor chicaguense que a mediados de los 90 lideró, con muy poca fortuna, una banda llamada Torben Floor. Años después, ya en solitario, ha publicado dos discos. Lucid Dream es su disco publicado en 2006. Indie Pop, con el sello personal del autor y la influencia del Country Rock que cualquier nortemericano lleva en las venas.

Como dato curioso la canción de este disco "Am I just one" ha salido en la serie "Anatomía de grey".

Looking at the soft skin of yesterday's light fall upon you

Rising up off the pillowy haze that we gaze through

It's the song that I sing because I have to

I make a choice to raise my voice but you're hard to refuse

I wouldn't do that to you

I couldn't drag it out

You couldn't settle me down

I wouldn't do that to you

Peel off the yellowing pages of memories in black and white

When love was just a sweet idea we could lie beside

And it's a price that we pay because we want to

But it's worse to see the hurt when she's so much to lose

I wouldn't do that to you

I couldn't drag it out

You couldn't settle me down

I wouldn't do that to you

(To you, to you)

Trying on the tough skin of Saturday night falls around you

I'm thinking of the billowing blaze that surrounded you

Now it's the song that you sing because you have to, not 'cause you want to

And it's the hardest thing to choose when there's so much to lose

I wouldn't do that to you

I wouldn't do that to you (no)

I couldn't drag it out

You couldn't settle me down

I wouldn't do that to you

Grupo/Interprete: Pavement
Canción: Spit on a stranger
Disco: Terror twilight
Estilo: Noise Pop, Lo-Fi.

However you feel,

whatever it takes,

whenever it's real,

whatever awaits,

whatever you need,

however so slight,

whenever it's real,

whenever it's right.

I've been thinking long and hard about the things you said to me,

like a bitter stranger,

and now I see the long, the short, the middle and what's inbetween,

I could spit on a stranger,

(pour/pull me out)

you're a bitter stranger.

(pour me out)

Whatever you feel,

whatever it takes,

whenever it's real,

whatever awaits me,

whatever you need,

however so slight,

whenever it leads,

whenever it's right.

Honey I'm a prize and you're a catch

and we're a perfect match,

like two bitter strangers,

and now I see the long,

the short of it and I can make it last,

I could spit on a stranger,

(pour me out)

you're a bitter stranger,

(pour me out)

I could spit on a stranger,

(pour me out)

you're a bitter stranger.

(pour me out)

I see the sunshine in your eyes,

I'll try the things you'll never try,

I'll be the one that leaves

Creedence Clearwater Revival "Fortunate Song"

2011-04-22T16:30:00.001+02:00

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Ooh, they're red, white and blue

And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"

Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no Senator's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Lord, don't they help themselves, oh

But when the tax men come to the door

Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord

And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"

Oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no military son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son, no, no

Hey hey, glad girls only want to get you high

And they're alright

There will be no coronation

There will be no flowers flowing in the light

That passes though me now

In the light that passes through me

Hey hey, glad girls only want to get you high

And they're alright

There will be no graduation

There will be no trumpets blowing in the light

That passes through me now

In the light that passes through me

With the sinking of the sun I've come to greet you

Clean your hands and go to sleep

Confess the dreams

Of good and bad men all around

Some are lost and some have found

The light that passes though me now

Yeah the light that passes through me

Hey hey, glad girls...

Disco: Way beyond blue (1996) Primer disco de la banda, publicado con la discográfica "Blanco y Negro"
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo. Aunque coexistieron con la época dorada del britpop, entiendo que poco tienen que ver con este estilo musical.

Chance dreams that cut across the bed, leaving colours there instead

See lines that draw it to an end - ignore them

And if I say how I feel again, is it wise to do it?

Or like hearing for the umpteenth time, a song you despise

Don't you fall asleep there's lots of things I need to say that just won't keep

Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)

And with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me?

And when I least expect them to they'll devour me

Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to hide

Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)

Don't you turn aside, your tired ears must hear me out - there's nowhere to

hide

Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)

(And with my fears in the back of my mind, will they gang up on me?)

Sweet sweet sweet sweet catatonia, I should have told you (ah ah)

(And when I least expect them to they'll devour me)

Buffalo Tom "She´s not your thing"

2011-04-12T00:52:00.000+02:00

Grupo/Interprete: Buffalo Tom
Canción: She´s not your thing
Disco: Skin (2011)
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo. Ellos mismos.

Hace meses, escuchando Radio 3. conocí que mis amigos de Boston, nos regalaban más canciones nuevas este misarable año 2011. Pero mi sorpresa ha sido mayúscula al escuchar su disco, mezcla de sorpresa y también decepción. no quiero decir con ello que el disco sea malo (los discos malos son los de Bisbal y Sergio Dalma, por definición) es que cuando escuché el segundo corte, pense ¡Jorder! Un nuevo disco de Teenage Fanclub. Creo que Buffalo Tom no tienen porque hacer esto. La canción está de puta madre (por eso la pongo) pero, sencillamente creo que su "palo" no va por ahí.

Por cierto, recomiendo por salud mental y todo eso escuchar por la mañanas Radio 3, cuando vayais a trabajar, por Dios (o el sumo hacedor) no pongais ni Onda Cerdo, ni la Condena Ser ni la Cope y nunca Interconomía.

With some girls it don't matter who you hang with

With some girls it don't matter how you talk

And some girls they are easy to be yourself with

But the one girl that I want, ain't easy to please with what I've got

With some girls it don't matter where you're aiming

With some girls it don't matter how you act

And some girls they don't care what car you came in

But the one girl that I want, she wants that one bit of geography I lack

Yeah she, don't want me, 'cos I'm not where it's at

yeah I'm not where it's at

And some girls they will worry about reactions

And some girls they don't give a damn for that

But somehow I ain't ever in on the action

'Cos the one girl that I want, she wants that one little quality I lack

Yeah she, don't want me, 'cos I'm not where it's at

yeah I'm not where it's at

I don't have my finger on, the pulse of my generation

I just got my hand on my heart, I know no better location

Yeah she, don't want me, 'cos I'm not where it's

I'm not where it's

I'm not where it's at

Yeah I'm not where it's at

All these cats with holey jeans,

Dirty hair and titty rings

Say "what's your scene man? we got these questions...

Is it true that you have sold your soul?"

I say "hey man, i don't know

Lend me a quarter won't you?

I'll call my accountant."

Chorus:

Let's get off this,

And get on with it,

If you wanna change the world

Shut yer mouth and start to spin it

Get off this

Get on with it

If you wanna change the world

Shut your mouth and start this minute

Petty little ayatollah's

Come around to judge and stone ya

All's we're trying to do is make a fortune.

Yeah, we ain't got no government loans,

And no one sends a check from home

But get this: we're just doin' what we wanna.

Chorus

Well the guitar player's

Stayin' out in hollywood and sayin'

He's just trying' to get some sleep,

But everyone's complaning!

Are you truly deeply cynical?

'cause boy you know that i loved you so

When no one knew your name

And you were pompous. (still are!)

Chorus

If you wanna make the move

Then you better come in

It's just the ability to reason

That wears so thin

Living and dying and the stories that are true

Secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through

[Chorus]

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac

Yeah, the boy's a time bomb

[x2]

Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living

Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives

Like a cat 15 years old take him to the youth authority home

First thing you learn is that you got to make it

In this world alone

[Chorus]

Now he's gotten out he's gotten free he's gotta go gotta car

21 years old he's runnin' numbers from the bar

His pager's beepin' he's got in deep in

Whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'

[Chorus]

The boy’s a time bomb

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below

His eye his mother cries she knows that he is strong enough

To die he's rollin' in the Cadillac it's midnight sunroof is down

Three shots rung out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned.

[Chorus x2]

Ohh, time bomb

Iggy Pop "Loco Mosquito"

Grupo/Interprete: Iggy Pop
Canción: Loco Mosquito
Disco: Soldier (1980)
Estilo: Puink/New Wave

Creo que después de caso dos años de blog es la primera vez que pongo algo de "La Iguana", pues ya iba siendo hora. Esta canción no es un clásico de la primera época con los Stooges, pero está muy bien, me gusta y es graciosa.

My mommy told me

If I were goody

That she would buy me

A rubber dolly

I got some energy to burn

It makes me jumpy and nervous

But I'm too damn old to join the military service

Hup two three four

I got to hit my baby on a Saturday night

You know the devil made me do it

I know it wasn't right

Like a loco mosquito

'Round and 'round and 'round Igo

And when I'm hungry

Down I go

Please Mr. Custer I don't wanna go

And spend my night in a bar with some stupid dodo

I'm sick of hanging 'round with old transvestites

They stare at my rubbers

It makes me uptight

And here I go

In love again

Here I go-oh wo wo

Like a loco mosquito

I got some energy to burn

But you always want to tap it

You're busy sucking on my gas tank

Before I can tap it

Like a loco mosquito

'Round and 'round and 'round Igo

And when I'm hungry

Down I go

Loco Mosquito

Los Ilegales "No me acaries el pelo"

2011-03-05T13:57:00.000+01:00

Los Ilegales se van. Después de treinta años y canciones tan cojonudas como "la fiesta" "Soy un macarra", "Hola mamoncete" y la canción más burra que se ha hecho en la historia de la música: "Heil Hitler", la banda asturiana se despide ¿para siempre?. A partir de ahora Jorge Martínez, uno de los mejores guitarristas de rock que ha dado este país, se va a dedicar a "Jorge Ilegal y Los Magníficos".

Esta canción, que está en "Tiempos nuevos, tiempos salvajes" (1982), me recuerda la frase que dijo Jorge Martínez en una entrevista en Radio 3 "Hijos de puta los que tiene pelo", seguro que lo dijo por envidia y sé de que hablo.

La verdad es violenta,

tu cara mas fría,

tus pechos tristes,

ocultan terrores.

Si dejo de respirar,

no será por ti.

No me acaricies el pelo,

que tengo poco,

y ninguno ... de tonto.

Tus palabras son cortantes,

como filo de navaja,

no te esfuerces en gritar,

porque estoy desconectado.

Tus ojos son húmedos,

tu collar es frío,

tu cama es violenta,

la verdad es fría.

Quiero beber mucho,

quiero hundirme en el desastre

ahora te acercas,

inútil aventura.

No me acaricies el pelo,

que tengo poco,

y ninguno de tonto.

Tu boca me lleno,

de sabor a menta,

treinta comprimidos,

bastan para saciarte,

tu canto eléctrico,

trabaja contra el frío.

Orange Juice "in a nutshell"

Grupo/Interprete: Orange Juice
Canción: In a nutshell
Disco: You can´t hide your love forever (1982)
Estilo: New wave, Indie Pop

La banda de Edwyn Collin se formó en Escocia en 1976 y se disolvío en 1984. Tan sólo publicaron tres discos. Esta canción, adelantada a su tiempo, se encuentra en el primer disco de la banda.

I looked deep within my pocket

For the note you sent to me

To put it in a nutshell

You're a heartless mercenary

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo

I looked behind the iron curtain

For a greater dignity

And now I'm more than certain

You're a heartless mercenary

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious

Push me and pull me

The blind lead the blind

I don't have no money

Can I pay you in kind?

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, goodness gracious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo, you're so audacious

Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoodoo

Grupo/Interprete: Crowded House
Canción: As sure as I am
Disco: Woodface (1991)
Estilo: Pop Rock.

Este disco desapareció de mi vida en 1992, uno de mis muchos "annus horribilis", por razones que no vienen al caso el pasado octubre volvió a caer en mis manos. Este gente tuvo un gran éxito con "weather with you" y son de Australia.

Make your decision now

Rely on no help from above

Living is luxury

I want everything you throw out

I'll do anything you want to

Please let me go with you

I'll wear the smile on your face

Big, black and beautiful

I want it, everything you throw out

There must be something you can do with out

'cos i am as sure as i am

I couldn't cae less

For what might go wrong

And i'm as happy as sin

In a fear shaken world

I pity the rhino

Down there it's becoming extinct

Killed for a love potion

Sad thing looking like a dead flower

I want it, everything that you throw out

'cos i am as sure as i am

I couldn't care less

For what might go wrong

And i'm as happy as sin

In a fear shaken world

Don't wanna be there

Don't wanna be spared

I'll wear the smile on your face

I am as sure as i am

I couldn't care less

For what might go wrong

And i'm as happy as sin

In a fear shaken world, world,

Couldn't care less

Esclarecidos "Tucán"

2011-03-03T15:13:00.000+01:00

Grupo/Interprete: Esclarecidos
Canción: Tucán
Disco: De espaldas a ti
Estilo: Pop Rock

Sin ánimo de menospreciar al resto de componentes de esta banda madrileña, para mí, Esclarecidos siempre será el grupo de Cristina Lliso: una de las mejores voces que hemos tenido en España. Encuadrados, por su nacimiento en 1981, dentro de la llamada "movida" nunca pretendieron vivir de la música por lo que su independencia fue absoluta y además montaron su propia discográfica: GASA. Creadores de dos de las más bellas canciones de los últimos treinta años en este país, Arponera y Por amor al comercio. Hoy toca esta canción que fue single de su disco de 1989 "De espaldas a tí".

Solo cuando te acabas de despertar

tienes al Tucán de espaldas a ti.

El Tucán habla conmigo cuando te has de levantar,

pero ya te empieza a mirar.

Su gran pico esconde las palabras que has soñado,

las que tú imaginaste nada mas acostar,

por eso, cuando tu silencio me intriga,

yo le pregunto al Tucán.

Y el me lo explica todo,

pero dame un beso largo,

por que quiero saber también

lo que sueña mi Tucán.

Yo le pregunto al Tucán.

Frank Sinatra "I´ve got you under my skin"

2011-02-25T22:25:00.000+01:00

Por primera y última vez en este blog dos grandes genios de la MÚSICA: "la voz" y una canción del gran Cole Porter.

I've got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me

I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in

I've said to myself this affair never will go so well

But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well

That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of having you near

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool, you never can win

Use your mentality, wake up to reality

But each time I do, just the thought of you

Makes me stop before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin

Neil Diamond "Sweet Caroline"

2011-02-24T01:42:00.002+01:00

Este fin de semana pasado he vuelto a ver "Beautiful Girls", una gran película y antes de que algún lumbreras me cierre el blog, me apetece compartir esta canción.

Where it began, I can't begin to know when

But then I know it's growing strong

Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo

And spring became the summer

Who'd believe you'd come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out

Touching me, touching you

Oh, sweet Caroline

Good times never seem so good

I've been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo

And it don't seem so lonely

We fill it up with only two, oh

And when I hurt

Hurting runs off my shoulder

How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out

Touching me, touching you

Oh, sweet Caroline

Good times never seem so good

Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would

My head was heading south

But somehow my feet they seemed

Stuck in the north

And I was going to the places and all

But I couldn't find the time

I couldn't find the time

Oh baby, I couldn't find the time

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

My face was saying all

But somehow the words they seemed

Thin as air

And I'd be writing about the drama and pain

But I didn't feel a thing

I didn't feel a thing

Oh baby, I didn't feel a thing

Well getting by is easy

When you know what to do

Getting through is harder

Living in a dream

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

Loquillo "La mataré"

2011-02-17T19:37:00.001+01:00

Desde la creación de este blog, mi único objetivo ha sido exhibir canciones que me gustan y punto, nada más, pero hace unos días, cuando llegaba a casa, escuchando la radio, una noticia me llamó la atención: El musical "Hair" está en peligro por la ley antitabaco. Creo que el arte está por encima de idioteces y como ejemplo pongo esta canción, preciosa y macarra donde las haya y que a pesar de la que está cayendo es sólo una gran canción que cuenta una historia. No creo que nadie que escuche esta canción quiera matar a su pareja infiel y si es así ¡VETE DE ESTE BLOG, GILIPOLLAS!

Tracey Ullman "They don´t know"

2011-02-16T00:11:00.001+01:00

Talking Heads "And she was"

Grupo/Interprete: Talking Heads
Canción: And she was
Disco: Little Creatures (1985)
Estilo: New Wave y todo eso.

Esta canción llegó a ser un himno, en fin, una de estas canciones que escuchabas a las 4 ó 5 de la madrugada en el ZM, joder, que buenos tiempos. Y no sólo es porque fuera joven (que los sigo siendo) es porque el ZM era un gran bar, justo a la orilla de la playa.

And she was lying in the grass
and she could hear the highway breathing.
And she could see a nearby factory

She's making sure she is not dreaming.
See the lights of a neighbor's house

now she's starting to rise.
Take a minute to concentrate and she opens up her eyes.

The world was moving

she was right there with it and she was -
The world was moving

she was floatin' above it and she was - and she was.

And she was drifting through the backyard

And she was taking off her dress.
And she was moving very slowly
rising up above the earth.
Moving into the universe and she's drifting this way and that.
Not touching the ground at all and she's up above the yard.
The world was moving
she was right there with it and she was -
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/talking-heads-lyrics/and-she-was-lyrics.html)
The world was moving
she was floatin' above it and she was -

And she was glad about it
no doubt about it

She isn't sure about what she's done

No time to think about what to tell them

No time to think about what she's done and she was -

And she was looking at herself

and things were looking like a movie.
She had a pleasant elevation

she's moving out in all directions.

The world was moving

she was right there with it and she was -
The world was moving

she was floatin' above it and she was -
Joining the world of missing persons and she was -
Missing enough to feel alright and she was - and she was -
And she was - and she was - and she was -
and she was - and she was.

La Habitación Roja "Febrero"

Grupo/Interprete: La Habitación Roja
Canción: Febrero
Disco: Universal (2010)
Estilo: Indie pop.

Esta canción se encuentra en uno de los mejores discos nacionales del pasado año. No suelo escuchar las radio-formula y realmente desconozco si ha sido una canción conocida o no, mi fuente radiofónica sigue siendo Radio 3.

Con respecto a la entrada anterior, evitaré mezclar el blog con los gin tonics.

Si me dices adios en febrero piénsalo dos veces

si me vas a olvidar por favor pronuncia antes mi nombre

soy la misma persona que pisó la luna, que puso la tierra a tus pies

que se fue con lo puesto a la guerra de todas las guerras.

Y deshoja el futuro que se abre al cruzar esa puerta

es algo que no puedes saber, hay tanto que aprender

Las miradas se rompen, los años son golpes, los días cara a la pared

me parecen tan cerca y tan lejos los buenos momentos

Y aún así volvería a pasar por el mismo camino

a buscar esa piedra con la que quise tropezar

y si viene febrero temblaré de miedo: lo desconocido es brutal

pero es mucho peor saber que ya nada va a cambiar.

El momento que pasa se escapa no vuelve a pasarte

y aunque hierva la sangre se abren caminos y a andar

curaré ese dolor que me pone a morir cada vez que te vuelvo a vivir

si me dices adios en febrero piénsalo dos veces.

Y aún así volvería a pasar por el mismo camino

a buscar esa piedra con la que quise tropezar

y si viene febrero temblaré de miedo: lo desconocido es brutal

pero es mucho peor saber que ya nada va a cambiar (3 veces).

So good at doing

What you don't do

Just trying to protect yourself

And other fools like you

So well practised

In your deceit

Behind the high walls of stupidity

Your endless conceit

Behind the locked door

The sleeping dog you beat

I hope I see the day

She satisfies her teeth

Give back to the native

Their treaty land

What you preach you preach for others

Why don't you practice that firsthand

I just don't understand

This world of mine

I must be out of touch

Or out of my mind

And will the profits of destruction

Forever make your eyes blind

Do you bow to the corporations

'Cause they pay their bills on time

God bless Elijah

With the feather in his hand

Stop stealing the Indian land

The Clash "Should stay or I should I go"

2011-01-20T23:20:00.005+01:00

Esta claro que hoy es San Sebastian y quien no sabe ese dato demuestra muy poca cultura. Yo, que soy un inculto, no tenía ni idea de esa dato pero, siendo quien es, un gran amigo e insigne empresario del mundo de la publicidad, sólo podía poner esta canción, buena y cojonuda y de gente ya criticada en su momento. Si estás a tiempo comprate unos levis.

You can't ignore or hide away

Can't escape from the things that line our way

Take it, leave it, or break it

Anyway, you can't get back to yesterday

All I want, all I want to do

You better listen from now on

Stop what's going on, stop what's going wrong

You better listen from now on

Confidence, coincidence, call it a sin

It's just like people say

Tomorrow's here so open up you're eyes

Never hesitate

It makes me want to give you everything

Pick you up and take you home again

Hold you tight and think that now is then

All I want to do

Is make you listen from now on

Cardboard men are strong, but paper can be torn

Oh, you better listen from now on

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun

What a beautiful dream

That could flash on the screen

In a blink of an eye and be gone from me

Soft and sweet

Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die

And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea

But for now we are young

Let us lay in the sun

And count every beautiful thing we can see

Love to be

In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

Anna's ghost all around

Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me

Soft and sweet

How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you

How I would push my fingers through

Your mouth to make those muscles move

That made your voice so smooth and sweet

And now we keep where we don't know

All secrets sleep in winter clothes

With one you loved so long ago

Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face

I have found in this place

That is circling all round the sun

And when we meet on a cloud

I'll be laughing out loud

I'll be laughing with everyone I see

Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time

To be in love

Well, let her be somebody else's queen

I don't want to hear about it

There's too many others who know what I mean

And that's why I've got to live without

Because I'm in love with a girl I'm talking about

I'm in love with a girl I can't live without

I'm in love but feels like I'm living it out

I'm in love but I must've picked

A bad time to be in love

Bad time to be in love

All the stories come back to me

From my friends and the people I don't want to see

Well all the stories they just couldn't be true

At least until I hear 'em from you

He’s outta home for the first time maybe

What is her name?

I hear it sounds like a church spire

Is she the same as me?

Talk loud

Say it like you mean it

Cos you and I know it’s never gonna work out

Cos of the girls that you did when we were going out

Shirts smell clean on you

Oh but she’s wearing the pants now

But she can wait for another time

Cabin fever

Peace offering pays me off well

Do you know who I am?

I still love you

But it could never be like that

And I will always be your friend.

Seem to be so wrong

You did not lie

It's far beyong you

You've said you tried

You cannot prove it

I close my eyes

I don't wanna find out how she died

Foolish pride

You can't expect to turn away tonight

You've seen the last of me

Don't have to take my hand

You shouldn't try so hard

So hard to understand

I've seen the end

Just waiting for me

No time to spend

To doubt a moment

I can't stand to agonize

On what I've lied, apologize

It's far beyond your sense of play

It's anywhere and everywhere

So you appear and say how I've grown

and fill me up with faces I've known.

In this light they're far from divine

I'll save them up and spend them when I have time.

The salted taste of all your tears and woes

Sent me in haste my melancholy rose

Those tasteless lips were closed

You watched me come, you'll see me go.

Once I was happy in happy extremes

Packing my bags for the path of the free

From pillar to post I am driven it seems

These bitter tokens are worthless to me

Just like June the curtains are closed

The ghost of shame he sits here and sighs

I'll love the flames like I've loved the cold

I'll learn to love the life of the "could I, could I, could I"

So I don't cross my fingers any more

You looked for rags and found them at your door

How could you ask for more

Than everything you've heard before?

Once I was happy in happy extremes

Packing my bags for the path of the free

From pillar to post I am driven it seems

These bitter tokens are worthless to me

Klaus and Kinski "Mamá no quiero ir al colegio"

2010-12-29T19:05:00.000+01:00

Grupo/Interprete: Klaus and Kinski

Canción: Mamá no quiero ir al colegio

Disco: Tierra trágalos

Estilo: Indie Pop, Shoegaze

Klaus and Kinski es una banda de la ciudad de Murcia, siendo sus dos miembros principales Alejandro Martñinez Moya y Marina Gómez Carruthers, llevan en activo unos cinco años y este año 2010 han publicado su segundos disco "Tierra trágalos" Música intima y voces susurrantes. Creo que es uno de los mejores discos españoles de este año junto con Universal de La Habitación Roja, ya que Una Opera egipcia de Los Planetas a mi personalmente me ha decepcionado bastante. Se acaba un buen año para la música (quizás ha sido bueno sólo para eso), gran cantidad de discos buenos, grandes retornos, y grandes canciones.

Os deseo lo mejor para el 2011.

Detrás de este nombre tan poco original está un duo de San Francisco formado por Christofer Owen y JR White.

Oh I wish I had a boyfriend

I wish I had a loving man in my life

I wish I had a father

And maybe then I woulda turned out right

But now I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad

Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head

And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart

Then I could make a brand new start in love with you

Oh I wish I had a sun tan

I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine

I Wish I had a beach house

Then we could make a big fire every night

Instead I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad

Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head

And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart

Then I could make a brand new start in love with you.

Picture yourself

Set up for good in a whole other life

In the mystery zone

Make us a house

Some far away town

Where nobody will know us well

Where your dad's not around

And all the trouble you look for all your life

You will find it for sure

In the mystery zone

Times that we met

Before we met

Times that we met

We'll go there

To the mystery zone

Ah the mystery zone

There goes the rider

At gates of dawn

He takes no prisoners at all

He'll be there on his own

What gets him gone

Off down that road

Is something he don't understand

Ooh! The mystery zone

Maybe all he wants

Maybe all he needs

Is to know that the sun don't set

On the mystery zone

How come it feels so familiar

When you never been there?

How come it seems so unreachable

You never tried to find

Never tired to find the mystery zone

Mystery zone, oooh!

All of the people

You used to run into but never do now

They took off for the mystery zone

And when you know love

When you find it for real

It contains the emotion sense of

Everyone ready

Your cover was blown

You weren't there but you were

Ooh in the mystery zone

You weren't there but you were

Openin' windows

Doors never close it's the fresh air fiend

It's the information troll

We'll pack a bag

Sendin' it off just some things that never fit right

To the m...

And we'll send it ahead as a test so we'll know

Call it up when it gets there

"What's it like in the mystery zone?"

The times that we met

Before we met

We'll go back there

Oh, times that we met

We'll go back

We'll go back there

The mystery zone

To the mystery zone

The mystery zone

Oh the mys...
