The Beach Boys "It´s about time"

Grupo: The Beach Boys
Canción: It´s about time
Disco: Sunflower (1970)
Discográfica: Caribou
Estilo: Pop Rock

Afortunadamente no todas las canciones de esta gente eran de música surf.

I used to be a famous artist
Proud as I could be
Struggling to express myself
For the whole world to see
I used to blow my mind sky high
Searching for the lost elation
Little did I know the joy I was to find
In knowing I am only me

I'm singin' in my heart
I'm singin' in my heart
I'm singin' love to sing
I love to sing it from my heart

Oh the creation yeah
Of which I'm doin' my part
With an open-hearted laugh of realization in my mind
And now I'm but a child who art
Erect in humility
Serving out a love for everyone I meet
In truth who are really me

I'm singin' in my heart
I'm singin' in my heart
I'm singin' love to sing
I love to sing it from my heart

No-no-no no no
Hoo no hey yeah no-no-no-no
It's about time now it's about time now
It's about time now don't you know now
It's about time now it's about time now
It's about time now don't you know now
It's about time we get together
To be out front and love one another
Brothers sisters everybody
We better start to help each other now
We need it now

When we're sharin' our love brother
That's when we know we can shape another world

Lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord lord
Oooh lord
Lord lord lord lord lord Oh Oh

Oh no lord no no oh

Banda escocesa de indie pop formada en Escocia en 1994, similares a Belle and Sebastian. Tienen publicados cinco discos, el último de ellos en 2004. Como dato curioso (aunque seguro que que es sabido por todos) llamaron así a la banda como homenaje al ciclista Perico Delgado.

I've been hanging round for days
still confused about the way you came
Take the portraits from the wall
take them down and burn them all
I know what I've become

By the marks upon their arms
there was nothing that they lacked in charm
But now I've got to choose
who from you is gonna lose
and who is going through

By the stories that were told
I decided to reject the bold
embrace the cowardly and the weak
we had laughs that lasted weeks
they're inside and I sing here

Now I would swear this life is you
You've been around since we were twenty two
but now you've got the rush
when you're cold and when you're touched
I know things don't mean much


'Cause we don't know we're strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we're not in love
and now we're singing out of tune

Just go out and get it straight
There are questions here that just can't wait
Leave romantics to their spite
leave the footballs to their pints
alternatives we'll find

But there's nothing we can find
while our lives are plush and kind of fine
So we'll all call it a day
people follow in our wake
a nothing's hall of fame

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we're not in love
and now we're singing out of tune

Come on babies, find a vein
Roll your sleeves up, find your arms insane
Walking out in little lines
down the corridors of life
and on to what you'll find

Out the door and down the street
over fences glens and ditches deep
And who from us is gonna choose
who will win and who will lose?
I know it won't be me

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we're not in love
and now we're singing out of tune

'Cause we don't know we're strong enough
and chances come too soon
But people, people, we're not in love
and now we're singing out of tune

Yo la Tengo "All your Secrets"

Grupo: Yo la Tengo
Canción: All Your Secrets
Disco: Popular Songs (2009)
Discográfica: Matador
Estilo: Indie pop

Veinticinco años lleva esta banda de New Jersey haciendo buenas canciones. Esta corresponde al disco editado este año.

All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid
Have made their way here instead, before the riot
As the days ahead become behind,
Replace the tape as we rewind, before the riot

Tell me all your secrets
Say it slow and clear so you don't have to speak twice

And if there's things that I'm afraid to know,
I should have learned them years ago, before the riot

I don't believe we're hopeless as we fear,
Or as good as we appear, before the riot
I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes
Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies, before the riot

Think of what we're missing
Well take that thought and put it out of your head

And if we can stop a restless night,
Won't give up without a fight, before the riot

I can feel the time is coming, sure it's coming soon
Do what we do, hiding out from view
Sure it's coming
Say the worst should happen
Would we plan for that, even if we could?
And if we can stop a restless night,
Won't give up without a fight, before the riot
Here it comes, before the riot

Mercury Rev "Opus 40"

Grupo: Mercuty Rev
Canción: Opus 40
Disco: Deserter´s Song (1998)
Discográfica: V2
Estilo: Indie Pop

Fenomenal canción de esta estupenda banda de Buffalo (Nueva York) activos desde 1990, con nueve discos editados, el último de ellos del pasado año 2008

Well she tossed all night like a ragin' sea
woke up an' climbed from th' suicide machine
with her spanish candles an' her persian poems
stuck on th' rocks inside opus 40 stoned
an' scratchin' he wrists in the pourin' rain
she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again

Tears in waves minds on fire
Nights alone by yr side

Catskill mansions buried dreams
i'm alive she cried but i don't know what it means
somewhere out there across th' moonlit sands
there's a line drawn like th' lines on her own shand
an' slammin' her eyes lockin' th' door
she collapses down upon th' ocean floor again

Tears in waves minds on fire
Nights alone by yr side
