Vista la frecuencia de entradas en el blog, casi me aventuro a decir que estamos ante una de las últimas entradas del mismo. Lo cierto es que antes de que lo cierre definitivamente, me veo obligado a exponer canciones importantes (para mí y para la música) que no había puesto por olvido o por la ilusión de que este blog fuera eterno.

Gin Blossoms "Follow you down"




Grupo: Gin Blossoms
Canción: Follow you down
Disco: Congratulation ... I´m Sorry (1996)
Discográfica: A&M
Estilo: Pop rock Americano (del norte evidentemente) power pop


Una de las mejores canciones de la banda de Arizona, que se encuentra en su tercer disco. La banda se disolvió después de la publicación de este disco y diez años después ha vuelto publicando dos discos en 2006 y 2010.







Did you see the sky
I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've ever been
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned
Anywhere you go I'll follow you down...

The Cars "Too Late"

Grupo/Interprete:The Cars
Canción: Too Late
Disco: Move like this
Estilo: Pop Rock

Después de catorce años , el año pasado The Cars publicó un disco. Hasta ahí todo normal: una banda de éxito de los años 80 que vuelve a reunirse, sacando un disco para hacer conciertos y caja. Pero el caso de The Cars es diferente a otras bandas que han vuelto para recordar sus viejos éxitos y ver lo bien o mal que el tiempo les ha tratado. Y digo que es diferente, porque Move like this, es un pedazo de disco, a la altura o mejor de alguno de los discos que publicaron en la década de los 80. Es un retorno honrado y un ejemplo es la canción que acompaño con este post, digna de la banda de Rick Ocasek y fiel a su estilo.





i could dream about 
things that never end 
wishes on a star 
and something round the bend
i remember times 
things were pretty clear 
i felt the pressure pawns 
threw away the fears
i believe in you 
and your sultry side 
and i would never jump 
your never ending ride
my feet are on the ground 
i'm in the lost and found 
i might sway and tip 
but i'll never jump the ship
i'm never gonna get that crazy 
i'm never gonna be shot down 
you know it takes a lot to faze me 
whenever you're around
and you say 
it's too late 
and all the storms in life 
you have to contemplate 
and you say 
it's too late 
when the mornings rise 
you got to celebrate yeah
well you may cross the line 
or suck a clementine 
but i know for sure 
i need you never more 
there's dreams on the fridge 
there's lovers on the binge 
nobody really knows 
that's just the way it goes
i'm never gonna get that crazy 
i'm never gonna be shot down 
you know it takes a lot to faze me 
whenever you're around
and you say 
it's too late 
and all the storms in life 
you got to contemplate 
and you say 
it's too late 
when the mornings rise 
you got to celebrate 
yeah yeah
well i can take a fall 
or hang it on the wall 
no matter what you think 
i'm always on the brink 
but you can throw a twist 
and i can move like this 
they give you lots of slack 
then something pulls you back
i'm never gonna get that crazy 
i'm never gonna be shot down 
you know it takes a lot to faze me 
whenever you're around
and you say 
it's too late 
and all the storms in life 
you got to contemplate 
you say 
it's too late 
when the mornings rise 
you got to celebrate yeah 
yeah yeah

Crowded House "As sure as I am"



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"



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.
Yo le pregunto al Tucán.
Yo le pregunto al Tucán.
Yo le pregunto al Tucán.

Yo le pregunto al Tucán.
Yo le pregunto al Tucán.
Yo le pregunto al Tucán.
Yo le pregunto al Tucán.

Weezer "Ruling me"





Grupo/Interprete: Weezer
Canción: Ruling me
Disco: Hurley (2010)
Estilo: Power pop, pop rock cada vez menos alternativo.

Será la crisis, casualidad o una buena excusa para hacer bolos, pero lo cierto es que este año está pariendo cantidad de discos de bandas ya consagradas y algunas de ellas un tiempo alejadas de los estudios de grabación, me refiero a Teenage Fanclub, Hoodoo Gurus por ejemplo. No es el caso de Weezer, que en los últimos tres años va a disco por año, si bien es cierto que este disco era uno de los más esperados entre otras cosas por la portada, en fin el pasado 14 de septiembre se ha publicado el octavo disco de la banda de Rivers Coumo en dieciseis años. Intento de la banda de volver a la idea de los primeros discos y en su conjunto uno de los mejores disco de Weezer de los últimos años.



Ring ring goes your telephone
You act like you ain't at home
You shut me out but it turns me on
Red lipstick, black dresses
A look that I should not mess with
It makes us boys go crazy for you

So fascinating, I'm anticipating
The touch that may never come

In the rain, in the sun
Everybody needs someone
They can dream of all night long
All the pain and the ways
That you're driving me insane
It's no mystery
Why you're ruling me

We first met in the lunch room
My ocular nerve went pop, zoom
I've never observed such a beautiful face
Sweet lady, don't play me
If I am a knob, don't fade me
You can't win the game if you pass the

I'm so frustrated, this lusty lady
Methinks that's getting to go

In the rain, in the sun
Everybody needs someone
They can dream of all night long
All the pain and the ways
That you're driving me insane
It's no mystery
Why you're ruling me

I'm not kidding anymore
This love hurts, that's for sure
I feel you, I see you
I need you

In the rain, in the sun
Everybody needs someone
They can dream of all night long, oh
All the pain and the ways
That you're driving me insane
It's no mystery
Why you're ruling me
It's no mystery
Why you're ruling me

Disco: Stuck on nothing (2010)
Estilo: Indie Rock, AOR, Pop Rock

Esta banda es de Filadelfia. Esta cancion eta en su disco de debut, mezcla de estilos con guiños al AOR, T-Rex o Thin Lizzy. 



We're breakin out this time
makin out with the wind
and i'm so disconnected
i'm never gonna check back in

we're gonna start a new life
see how it goes
before we're tired and too slow

we'll never get any other life
there's too far to go
so together we make this whole

can you remember the moment
did you forget that time?
we were switching a ride in the car coming by
on a saturday night

you said theres nothing to wait for
theres nothing to know
were never waking up if we never let it go
i said i wanna believe but im out of control
and ive got so far to go, woah

its coming out of the dark now
its dripping off my skin
its on the tip of my tongue as i drift through my body
into the city within

and now the people are breathing
the air is alive
its coming out of the street light
and now the battle is over
whenever we deicide that
theres nothing left to hide

this is all weve got tonight
this is all weve got tonight
we are young and still alive
now the time is on our side

right now, we'll make it right now
when every thought is electrical
right now, we'll make it right now
the dream is coming

youre gonna see how it works
youre gonna see it connect
youre gonna see em surrender oh

right now, we'll make it right now
or nothing's gonna change
and maybe we already know the way
forever every day

do you know why the spirit's calling
for my end to see?
it reminds us we're alive, this moment,
of who we are, what we could be

there's nothing to pray for
there's nothing to know
we're never waking up if we never let it go
the fever is coming
it's shaking the ground
the city's alive so tonight we break out
it's coming apart now it's not too far
we'll never know why we arrive where we are
we'll never know why we bring the seed in these times
but if you wanna get high kid, just open your eyes

this is all we've got tonight
this is all we got tonight
we are young and still alive
and now the time is on our side

this is all we got tonight
this is all we got tonight
we are young and still alive
and now the time is on our side

this is all we got tonight
this is all we got tonight
we are young and still alive

Counting Crows "Rain King"



Grupo/Interprete: Counting Crows
Canción: Rain King
Disco: August and everything after (1993)
Estilo: Pop Rock

Exitosa banda de San Francisco, constituida en 1991.



When I think of heaven (Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
and all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying I've been thinking And I am the Rain King

Mama, why am I so alone?
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
I'm alive but I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place
Why don't you invite me in
Don't try to bleed me
I've been there before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lying
I've been sinking
And I am the Rain King

Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again...

When I think of heaven (Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of dying Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to bleed me
I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been dying
I been drinking and I am the Rain King.

The Kinks "Get back in line"


Grupo: The Kinks
Canción: Get back in line
Disco: Lola vs. the powerman and the money-go round (1970)
Discográfica: Reprise
Estilo: Pop Rock

Banda londinense creada en 1963. Fundamentales, geniales.



Facing the world ain't easy when there isn't anything going
Standing at the corner waiting watching time go by
Will I go to work today or shall I bide my time
'Cos when I see that union man walking down the street
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
Now I think of what my mamma told me
She always said that it would never ever work out
But all I want to do is make some money
And bring you home some wine
For I don't ever want you to see me
Standing in that line
'Cause that union man's got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then he walks up to me and the sun begins to shine
Then he walks right past and I know that I've got to get back in the line
