Alter Bridge - Broken Wings
Esta canción es del primer álbum One Day Remains.
Letra:
Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
Mend the broken homes
Care for them
They are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long
Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be
Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And all that I'll be
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long
Quant - Pois eu
La canción es muy bonita. La estética del grupo está bastante lograda para el tema que cantan, y sobre todo, la graban por las calles de la ciudad más bonita del mundo...
No sé qué tiene esta ciudad que ninguno de los de aquí quiere irse a fuera, y los que están fuera quieren volver, y sale más bonita en los vídeos y fotos...
Judy Garland - Somewhere over the rainbow
Todo para encontrar al Mago de Oz. El único que puede hacerla volver a casa... cuando en realidad... sólo tenía que desearlo muy fuerte...
El Mago de Oz es una de esas películas que vimos todos de niños, algunos incluso nos leímos el libro, pero al igual que Alicia en el País de las Maravillas, El Principito o Momo, es mucho mejor leerlo de mayor para entenderlo de verdad... Buen fin de semana. Si os sobra tiempo, siempre podéis ver la película y escuchar a Judy Garland.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Ramones - The KKK took my baby away
Bueno, no es que el Ku Klux Klan raptase a la protagonista de la canción. Lo que ocurrió fue que Johnny Ramone le levantó la novia a Joey Ramone. Joey escribió la canción, en la que el KKK hace referencia a la ideología ultraconservadora del guitarrista. Después de aquello, dejaron de hablarse. Los dos murieron hace unos años, al igual que otro de los fundadores de la banda, Dee Dee Ramone.
Los Ramones son, junto a los Sex Pistols, la banda más importante del punk, movimiento nacido en los años 70. Canciones cortas, melodías sencillas, letras irónicas, y ausencia total de virtuosismo son las señas de una música en la que las guitarras distorsionan y no hay apenas punteos.
Como ejemplo, esta canción:
La letra:
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say
[x2]
[Chorus: x2]
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
Now I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
Ringy, ringy, ringy
Up the President
And find out
Where my baby went
Ringy, ringy, ringy
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah
oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say
[x2]
[Chorus: x3]
The KKK took my baby away
They took my girl
They took my baby away
Janis Joplin - Piece Of My Heart
Cantante de blues, rock, country, con una voz portentosa, representa perfectamente el espíritu de su época. Vivió rápido, fue adicta a casi todo, le puso mucha pasión y murió con sólo 27 años.
Grabó sólo cuatro discos (el último apareció después de su muerte), aunque nunca han dejado de editarse recopilatorios, directos, grandes éxitos y demás. A su segundo disco, Cheap Thrills, pertenece esta canción.
La letra:
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!
Didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough,
But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.
You’re out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again.
I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c’mon now.
oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it —whoahhhhh!!
Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
Se trata de una canción muy sencilla, ya que ni la melodía ni la letra tienen una gran complicación, pero, para mi gusto, el resultado es conmovedor.
Os dejo con esta lentísima balada del señor Mano Lenta
La letra:
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She'll put on her make-up, and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she'll ask me, "Do I look all right?"
And I'll say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We'll go to a party, and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she'll ask me, "Do you feel alright?"
And I'll say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I'll give her the car keys and she'll help me to bed.
And then I'll tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."
Rammstein "Du Riechst So Gut"
LETRA:
(Traducción al castellano,... más o menos)
La demencia
Es solo un pequeño puente
Las orillas son la razón y
Te impulso a un estribo
La luz del sol que utiliza el fantasma
Un niño ciego que se arrastra hacia delante
Porque huele a su madre
Yo te encontre
La huella está fresca sobre el puente
Gotea tu sudor y tu sangre caliente
Yo no te veo
Solo te huelo, te siento
Como una fiera que grita hambrienta
Todo el tiempo que te lamo
Hueles tan bien
Hueles tan bien
Yo voy detrás de ti
Hueles tan bien
Yo te encontre
- tan bien
Te busco al otro estribo
Hueles tan bien
Pronto te agarrare
Ahora te tengo
Esperaré hasta que se oscurezca,
Te rasgo tu piel húmeda
No me descubras
Oh ¿no ves arder el puente?
Para de gritar, y no te defiendas,
Porque sino se partirá
Hueles tan bien
Hueles tan bien
Yo voy detrás de ti
Hueles tan bien
Yo te encontré
- tan bien
Te busco al otro estribo
Hueles tan bien
Pronto te agarrare
Nancys rubias - Di que sí
La verdad es que de rubias tienen bastante menos que de nancys... y la verdad... aunque el aspecto al principio es muy "ochentero-glam-travesti" suenan bastante bien y quizás lleguen a ser más conocidos de lo que lo son ahora.
A ver qué tal...
Republica - Ready to Go
LETRA:
Ready to go, ready to go
You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away
He said, "saw red," went home stayed in bed all day

It's a crack, I'm back yeah I'm standing on the rooftops shouting out
Baby I'm ready to go

You're strange, insane, one thing you can never change
It's a crack, I'm back yeah I'm standing on the rooftops shouting out

Pignoise - Mentiras
Os dejo esta canción, para todos aquellos que queráis ser buenos programadores, analistas, diseñadores o lo que os toque ser dentro del mundillo de Java.
¿Qué tiene que ver esta canción con Java? Pues que yo la escucho mientras programo en el curro mogollón de veces (mi playlist no es muy grande tampoco).
El grupo en cuestión es Pignoise y se dieron a conocer en la serie Los Homres de Paco. Aunque debería decir que su cantante se dio a conocer mucho antes, ya que se trata de Álvaro, un chaval que apuntaba maneras en el Real Madrid y que tuvo una grave lesión que le apartó del fútbol.
Me parece un grupo muy animado, muy popero y quizás muy comercial, pero la guitarra desgarrada del fondo me mola. Se aceptan críticas.
