Sade - King of Sorrow

Helen Folasade Adu, Sade, da nombre a uno de los grupos de soul más particulares que existen. Particular porque son claramente diferenciables del resto de grupos del género, y porque esa diferencia se debe casi toda a una sóla persona: su vocalista (y alma del grupo).

Su estilo suave y dulce de interpretar el soul anticipa en cierto modo el chill-out.


De su magnífico disco Lovers Rock (del 2000), traigo esta canción:




La letra:

I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I suppose to do

I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good

The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good

The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good

I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow

Massive Attack - Teardrop

Hola! Hoy me decidí a poner esta canción con un estilo que todavía no habíamos tocado: el chillout.

El tema lo conoceréis, o quizás algunos no, ya que es el de la banda sonora de House M.D. Se trata de una canción del grupo inglés (de Bristol) Massive Attack.

Aquí va la canción, el vídeo me parece buenísimo, logradísimo.



Letra:

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little
