Paula Cole – I Don’t Want To Wait

Paula ColeUna voz femenina contundente estrena el martes. Se trata de Paula Cole y su single «I Don’t Want to Wait» (This Fire, 1996). A muchos os sonará porque fue durante mucho tiempo la cabecera de la serie Dawson’s Creek. Y si el otro día os comentaba que a Joan Osborne le mató su One of Us, lo mismo le pasó a Paula Cole, que su éxito la engulló. Voy a tener que crear una nueva categoría en el blog que sea song-killer 😉

Letra:

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every I

She had two babies
One was six months one was three
In the war of ’44
Every telephone ring
Every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh would her son grow to know his father?

[estribillo]
I don’t want to wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right know
What will it be
I don’t want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be?
Sorry

He showed up all wet
On the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw
Lives inside him still
It’s so hard to be gentle and warm
The years passed by and now
He has granddaughters

[estribillo]

You look at me from across the room
You’re wearing your anguish again
Believe me, i know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
Oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life
All we have is the very moment
And I don’t want to do what
His father and his father and his father did
I want to be here now

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every I

[estribillo]

So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the love in every eye

The Unfinished Sympathy – Spin In The Rye

The Unfinished SympathyPara empezar la semana con fuerza, he elegido hoy un tema más cañerillo. Se trata de Spin in the rye, del grupo The Unfinished Sympathy. A pesar de lo que pueda parecer, es un grupo español, que empezó a tocar allá por el 2001. La canción pertenece al cuarto álbum de este quinteto barcelonés: We push, you pull (2006). Un rock contundente pero con influencias de otros estilos.

Letra:

She lays on the grass
She still got to learn
It wasn’t the rain what made her grow up
Just troubles and pain

A spin in the rye
A watering hole
As everytime I feel so alone
I dial your phone

And I seek in her eyes
And I see my very face
Who I am
It’s cold in this lonely road to hell

[estribillo]
You, you’d drive all night until you’d knock at my door
I left you standing in the pouring rain
I keep moving like a shark

And I can’t deny
The pleasure is mine
When all of the blood I’m spilling around
Sounds like lullaby

But I get shy
When I should say «no»
Your flesh is a feast that turns me on
My values are gone

And I seek in her eyes
And I see my very face
Who I am
It’s cold in this lonely road to hell

[estribillo]

I’m mad and on the run
Killing for fun
I’m coming out of hiding when my victim’s closer
Again you will rely
On how I justify
Our reasons for intimacy are barely human

You, you’d drive all night until you’d knock at my door
I left you standing like a fool in the rain
I keep moving like a shark

Presuntos Implicados – La Mujer Que Mueve El Mundo

Presuntos ImplicadosHoy, día de la mujer, como cualquier otro día del año, quiero felicitar a todas la mujeres y hombres que hacen que tengamos las mismas oportunidades de ser diferentes.

Letra:

La mujer que mueve el mundo con sus manos
no descansa, no tiene calendario
y hace girar el día a su compás, y hace feliz de tanto como da.

La mujer que mueve el mundo con su cuerpo
es tan joven que no entiende de sexo
y tiene mil colores en la piel, y tiene mil dolores en su ser
y tiene mil deseos por cumplir, por ejemplo ser feliz.

La mujer que mueve el mundo con su boca
no se deja amilanar por la derrota
y habla y tiene tanto que decir
y habla hasta encontrar la solución
confiesa su temor y su pasión para sobrevivir.

La mujer que mueve el mundo con sus ojos
ve tan sólo la vida de reojo
y quiere ser la novia en el altar y quiere ser el pobre en el portal.

La mujer que mueve el mundo con sus sueños
de ilusiones va pintando los empeños
y sueña con llegar a ser mejor y sueña con un mundo sin verdad
y cree que algo se puede cambiar de esta realidad
por ejemplo ser feliz para sobrevivir.
La mujer que mueve el mundo con sus manos.

Queen – Too Much Love Will Kill You [Recomendación]

Una vez por semana abro el blog para publicar vuestras recomendaciones. Por riguroso orden de llegada, irán apareciendo en este rinconcito. Y el más veloz y criticón con mis gustos 😛 ha sido MaY. Así que abre fuego. Os dejo con él:

Queen - Too Much Love Will Kill You [Recomendación]La teoría dice que una balada da la verdadera medida de un grupo de rock. Que pasar de un ritmo trepidante a un medio tiempo marca la diferencia de los buenos músicos que conformen el grupo. Esta teoría es válida para TODOS los grupos, excepto Bon Jovi (que siempre ha hecho baladas y ahora es cuando le empieza a gustar la caña) y Scorpions (que siempre han hecho baladas, y muy
buenas, por supuesto).

Mi favorita, originalmente de Brian May (Back to the Light, 1992), y grabada por Queen antes del fallecimiento de Freddie Mercury (Made In Heaven, 1995), es Too Much Love Will Kill You.

Letra:

I’m just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I’m far away from home
And I’ve been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I’ve been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can’t make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You’re headed for disaster
‘cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I’m just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there’s no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can’t you see that it’s impossible to choose
No there’s no making sense of it
Every way I go I’m bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It’ll drain the power that’s in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You’re the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It’ll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won’t understand why
You’d give your life, you’d sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end…
In the end.

Kate Nash – Foundations

Kate Nash - FoundationsHay que tener claro que las redes sociales son poderosas. Y si no, que se lo digan a esta chica, que consiguió grabar un disco gracias a que Lily Allen la agregó como «amiga» a su MySpace. Ahí es nada 😉

Kate Nash es una joven promesa que tan sólo tiene un disco en la calle: Made of bricks (2007). A este álbum pertenece Foundations, una auténtica declaración de amor llena de piropos 😉

Letra:

Thursday night, every thing’s fine, except you’ve got that look in your eye
when I’m tellin’ a story and you find it boring,
you’re thinking of something to say.
You’ll go along with it then drop it and humiliate me in front of our friends.

Then I’ll use that voice that you find annoyin’ and say something like
«yeah, intelligent input, darlin’, why don’t you just have another beer then?»

Then you’ll call me a bitch
and everyone we’re with will be embarrassed,
and I wont give a shit.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can’t.
And every time we fight I know it’s not right,
every time that you’re upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can’t.

You said I must eat so many lemons
‘cause i am so bitter.
I said
«I’d rather be with your friends mate ‘cause they are much fitter.»

Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,
and I must admit that I was a bit scared,
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.

My finger tips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can’t.
And every time we fight I know it’s not right,
every time that you’re upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can’t.

Your face is pasty ‘cause you’ve gone and got so wasted, what a surprise.
Don’t want to look at your face ‘cause it’s makin’ me sick.
You’ve gone and got sick on my trainers,
I only got these yesterday.
Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.

Well, I’ll leave you there ‘till the mornin’,
and I purposely wont turn the heating on
and dear God, I hope I’m not stuck with this one.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can’t.
And every time we fight I know it’s not right,
every time that you’re upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can’t.

And every time we fight I know it’s not right,
every time that you’re upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can’t.
