The Killers – Read My Mind

The KillersComo ya va siendo tónica, los fines de semana, dejo mi lado moña (como dicen algunos… ¬¬) y saco algo con más fuerza. Y ese es el caso de este gran éxito de The Killers (Sam’s Town, 2006). Sería un puntazo poder leer las mentes de las personas, como dice la canción: se acabarían los malentendidos, engaños, falsedades,… Pero también perderíamos nuestra intimidad y estaríamos vendidos… o no.

Espero que ustedes gusten y disfruten 😉

Letra:

On the corner of main street
Just tryin’ to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I’m falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin’ out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I’m gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin’ on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin’ my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don’t let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
Can you read my mind

The Police – Every Breath You Take [Recomendación]

The Police - Every Breath You TakeLa recomendación de esta semana viene de la mano de Lady T. Le paso a ella el micrófono:
En mi opinión la mejor canción de este grupo británico, y eso que hay competencia, Roxane, So lonely o Every little thing she does is magic entre otras… Según wikipedia, el grupo se formó en 1977 y tocaron oficialmente hasta marzo de 1984 (nunca emitieron un comunicado sobre su disolución). En el momento de su separación, era el grupo más popular y con más ventas del mundo. Terminaron su carrera con un disco reconocido por la crítica como una de sus mejores producciones: Synchronicity (1983), en la cual se encuentra, Every Breath You Take.

Posteriormente, Puff Daddy con Faith Evans y 112 hicieron una nueva versión conocida como I’ll be missing you dedicada a «The Notorious B.I.G. aka Christopher Wallace (Mayo 21, 1972 – Marzo 9, 1997)». Con un ritmo diferente y retoques en las letras y coros, la canción no deja de poner los pelos de punta.

Letra:

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please…

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you

I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you…

En junio los veremos por estos lares.

Brandi Carlile – The Story

The StorySiguiendo la ronda de mujeres con voz desgarradora, hoy llega Brandi Carlile, que con esta canción de igual nombre que su álbum (The Story, 2007), presenta momentos de auténtica fuerza. Me encanta la estrofa que dice: Las líneas que atraviesan mi cara cuentan la historia de quién soy. Las historias de allí de donde vengo, y de cómo he llegado hasta aquí. Pero esas historias no significan nada, cuando no tienes a quién contárselas. Qué razón tiene…

Letra:

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you

You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess
No, they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what
I’ve been through like you do
And I was made for you…

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true…I was made for you

New Radicals – You Get What You Give

New RadicalsSe termina la semana, pero no por ello debemos ponernos tristes (el que no se consuela…), así que hoy presento una canción con energía suficiente como para superar cualquier lunes 😉

New Radicals era un grupo reivindicativo que trató de despertar conciencias (como ellos bien decían con su álbum debut en 1998, Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too: Quizá a ti también te han lavado el cerebro). Y en este videoclip se lo pasaron como enanos. Se metieron con todo quisqui (Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love y Marilyn Manson). Eso sí, estamos hablando de otra killer-canción. Con ella llegaron a lo más alto y no se volvió a saber. De hecho, el grupo se rompió en 1999. Como una estrella fugaz, pero que dejó su impronta en el mundo de la música.

Letra:

Wake up kids
We’ve got the dreamers disease
Age 14 we got you down on your knees
So polite, you’re busy still saying please
Fri – enemies, who when you’re down ain’t your friend
Every night we smash their Mercedes – Benz
First we run and then we laugh till we cry
But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You’ve got the music in you
Don’t let go
You’ve got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don’t give up
You’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget you only get what you give
Four a. m. we ran a miracle mile
Were flat broke but hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God’s flying in for your trial

This whole damn world can fall apart
You’ll be ok follow your heart
You’re in harms way
I’m right behind
Now say youre mine

Fly high
What’s real can’t die
You only get what you give
Just dont be afraid to leave
Health insurance rip off lying FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they’re multiplying
Fashion mag shoots
With the aid of 8 dust brothers Beck, Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You’re all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around
We’ll kick your ass in!
Don’t let go
One dance left

Championed by a soulless media misleading
People unaware they’re bleeding
No one with a brain is believing
It’s so sad you lost the meaning
Never knew it anyway
Human natures so predictable
I’m a fool to do your dirty work whoa, whoa

Najwajean – Crime

NajwaJeanPor fin han vuelto Najwajean (igual que yo… que esta semana he estado de silencio total), justo diez años después de su primer disco. Los componentes de este grupo son la actriz Najwa Nimri y el polifacético Carlos Jean. Su nuevo disco se llama Till it breaks (2008) y lo han estrenado con este tema tan sugerente y que tan bien se ajusta a la desgarrada voz de Najwa.

Pues como el propio álbum dice, lo escucharemos hasta que se rompa.

Letra:

You lean on the edge of the bar and you look at me
With such eyes and what if it’s a dream
You pass by me and say
Hello, your smile is like a little girl
Is this a crime
when you touch my hand and I feel the sky

And I’m wondering if this a crime
when you passed behind you touch my hits on the better sides
And then I pass behind and it’s a game they told me not to play
And then you kill my doubts saying, smile
And then you hold my hand strong
You get me, you take me, you break me oh
What a sweet suicide

I’m wondering if this a crime
When you see me smile
Ehhh, ohhhh

Oh, is this a crime
When I pass your side with a little smile
I’m sorry but I’m dealing

Then my eyes just said go on
And my back could feel the cold
Then you take off all my clothes
I was breathing laid in bed

And you take my legs, and you take inside
and I thought that life, couldn’t be so good
Oh my love……. is this a new suicide

And I just wanna to know
Oh, it’s all, my strong little guy
Yeahh, Oh,
and this is, baby this is, oh this is a crime
And I start to cry

Is this a crime
I’m in this hell, brother I say
brother and lover
I gave enough to stay
I try to stay, into, into, into
oh is this a crime
when you’re getting inside…
Yeahh, Ohh, …

I can feel that it it’s allright
