Para volver a la música de descubrimento (más allá de ex-drogadictos y sionistas) os dejo una canción de los Seahorses. Se trata de un grupo británico de mediados de los 90, con un rock - indie rock no demasiado comercial.
La historia de la canción... Pues la conocí gracias a mi novia, que estuvo en un concierto de esta gente en una sala en Nottingham. Cuando me dijo el nombre no tenía ni idea de que existían (no sé ni si se habrán oído en España), pero suenan muy muy bien.
La canción es Love is the law. Os dejo con ella.
Letra:
We lived in a dogfish eggcase
you could barely call it home
Sorry little lot no roof on top
But the fish left us at home
Try a little more said the girl next
door it's time to roam
Mad Lizzy Crumbs blind cobblers
thumbs were a sight to behold
She was a rum old slapper and we always
tried toget her pants off when she phoned
Left her cap by the sink it's not what you think
Oh take me home
Now we know where we are going baby
We can lay back and enjoy the ride
Take in the sights and drown in our senses
Love is the law so take me deep inside
Strap on Sally chased us down the alley
We feared for our behinds
Oasis was a shop with shoes so hot
They were sure to blow your minds
Running so fast I can take the past
Oh take home
These waters run deep it's clear my little one
Blue velvet star sky not a sound
The light in your eyes the smile on your ruby lips
Tells me my lost soul is found
Joaquin Sabina - A vuelta de correo
|
Esto para los que dicen que sabina desde que dejo las drogas no hace buenas canciones :)
y la letra:
y la letra:
Caballero en edad de merecer,
con un pelo de tonto, cuatro canas
el pasado resuelto y muchas ganas
ya sabe usted de qué.
Informal, ilustrado, manejable
más amigo de gatas que de perros.
Con dos ulceras y una inexplicable
mala salud de hierro.
Solicita con fines poco serios
señora aficionada al adulterio
o señorita de entre quince y cuarenta
(si no los aparenta).
Las cartas a República Española,
hoy Avenida Juan Carlos Primero.
con foto que prefiero
de cuerpo entero y sola
a vuelta de correo irá la mía
con traje gris y más chulo que un ocho
porque la tengo, como le diría
mas larga que Pinocho.
Se acercan feministas sin pancarta
cursis enamoradas del amor
o pesimistas hartas de estar hartas
de decirme que no.
Igual me da mujer de mala nota,
especialistas en Borges y Lacan
si no vienen tocándome
con Juan Salvador las pelotas.
Dispuesto a todo incluso a defraudar
alérgico al deporte y al reloj
con un precoz talento para el arte
de la eyaculación.
Las cartas, a Calle Melancolía,
hoy travesía Álvarez del Manzano,
con dos fotografías del último verano,
a vuelta de correo irá la mía,
donde aunque pálido y flaco destaco
por tenerla mas larga todavía
que un lunes sin tabaco.
Train - Drops of Jupiter
|
Otra canción bastante chula, aunque de estos poco se supo desde esta canción
y la letra:
Drops of Jupiter
Now that shes back in the atmosphere
With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that theres time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there
Now that shes back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that theres time to grow, hey, hey
Now that shes back in the atmosphere
Im afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know youre wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way

Para que escucheis musica como Dios manda:
y ahora la letra:
y ahora la letra:
The Man In Me
The man in me will do nearly any task,
And as for compensation, there's little he would ask.
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.
Storm clouds are raging all around my door,
I think to myself I might not take it any more.
Take a woman like your kind
To find the man in me.
But, oh, what a wonderful feeling
Just to know that you are near,
Sets my a heart a-reeling
From my toes up to my ears.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Took a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.

"Stand by Me".
Gracias MÚSICA.
Letra:
This song says: no matter who you are, no matter where you go in your life, in some point you should need to somebody to stand by you
Oh yeah, oh my darling, stand by me
No matter who you are, no matter where you go in life
You’re gonna need somebody to stand by you
No matter how much money you got, or the friends you got
You’re gonna need somebody to stand by you
When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won’t be afraid, oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin’, darlin’ stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin’, darlin’ stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
And darlin’, darlin’ stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin’, darlin’ stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
So darlin’, darlin’ stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me…

Krakovia - Breaking doors
|
Bueno, pues toca un post de grupo de descubrimiento. El otro día zappeando entre canales en los que sólo se suele encontrar música comercial de pachangueo, di con un programa de esos que sólo la gente oscura que vive de noche y duerme de día ven. En él, conocí a este reciente grupo (formado en febrero de 2008), y esta canción.
Krakovia es un grupo liderado por David Kano y "Vinila von Bismarck". Ellos mismos al definirse dicen que: "Ni hacemos psychobilly ni nada terminado en billy". En realidad su estilo podría definirse como punk-rock con un toque glam. Podría decirse que "Vinila" es ese tipo de diva reina del glam, estilo Alaska en su época de Pegamoides.
Os dejo ya con la canción, y con su vídeo bastante bastante logrado:

The Bravery - An Honest Mistake
|
A The Bravery los escuché por primera vez en el Festival de Paredes de Coura del 2005. Yo había ido al festival porque tocaban los Pixies y Nick Cave (con los Bad Seeds). Del primer día de conciertos, sólo tenía cierta curiosidad por los Kaiser Chiefs, que acababan de sacar un disco que no estaba mal. Así que The Bravery fue un grato descubrimiento y, junto a Pixies y Nick Cave, que no defraudaron, lo mejor de largo de todo el festival.
Aquel año habían publicado su primer disco, llamado igual que el grupo. Y An Honest Mistake fue seguramente la canción que más éxito tuvo. Éste es el video original, con la inserción desactivada. Así que cuelgo aquí una versión en directo.
Letra:
People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud
My old friend
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
