The Fugees – Ready Or Not

The FugeesHoy toca otro grupo muerto. Bueno, más que muerto, separado. Aunque sus tres componentes, también conocidos como «refugees» (refugiados), han tenido excelentes carreras por separado: Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean y Pras Michel.

Os dejo con este soul hiphopero para empezar mañana el mes de julio. ¿Estáis preparados o no?:

Letra:

[estribillo]
Ready Or Not, Here I come, You Can’t Hide
Gonna Find You and take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can’t Hide
Gonna Find You and Make you want me.

(Wyclef Jean)
Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake
Those who could relate know the world ain’t cake
Jail bars ain’t golden gates
Those who fake, they break,
When they meet their 400 pound mate
If I could rule the world
Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course
When giddyupin’ on their horse
I Kick a rhyme drinkin’ moonshine
I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased
But no don’t weep, Wyclef’s in a state of sleep
Thinkin’ ‘bout the robbery that I did last week.
Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag
I want to play with pelicans from here to Baghdad
Gun blast, think fast, I think I’m hit
My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist.
I think not, I’ll send a letter to my friends,
A born again hooligan only to be king again.

[estribillo]

I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest,
No stress
If you don’t smoke sess, lest.
I must confess, my destiny’s manifest
In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I’m homeless
Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess,
Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness, Yes
Bless you if you represent the Fu
But I’ll hex you with some witch’s brew if you’re Doo Doo
Voo Doo,
I can do what you do, easy, BELIEVE ME
Frontin’ niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you’re imitating Al Capone
I’ll be Nina Simone
And defacating on your microphone.

[estribillo]

You can’t run away
From these styles I got, oh baby, hey baby
Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
And anywhere you go
My whole crew’s gonna know
You can’t hide from the block, oh no.

(Pras Michel)
Ready or not, refugees takin’ over
The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rhasta
On the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber
Crews run for cover, now they’re under pushin’ up flowers
Superfly true lies, do or die,
Toss me high – only puff la,
With my crew from lock high
I refugee from Guantanamo Bay
Dance around the border like I’m Cassius Clay

Vega4 – Life Is Beautiful [Recomendación]

Vega4Hoy llega una recomendación muy esperada por mí, dado que los gustos de Unai Goikoetxeta son muy afines a los míos. Y, por supuesto, no me ha defraudado. Aquí os la dejo:

Bueno.. como lo prometido era deuda… pues aquí te paso una recomendación para que escuches y si quieres pongas en el blog 🙂

La canción se llama «Life is Beautiful» de un grupo disuelto recientemente
llamado Vega4. El grupo estaba compuesto por dos irlandeses, un neozelandés y un canadiense. Y esta canción precisamente ha sonado en un buen puñado de series americanas, como Anatomía de Grey, One Tree Hill, Kyle XY y Ghost Whisperer.

Letra:

Life is beautiful
We live until we die

When you run into my arms,
We steal a perfect moment.
Let the monsters see you smile,
Let them see you smilling.

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

[estribillo]
Life is beautiful, but it’s complicated.
We barely make it.
We don’t need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Yeah, life is beautiful.
Our hearts, they beat and break.

When you run away from harm,
Will you run back into my arms,
Like you did when you were young?
Will you come back to me?

I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in.

[estribillo]

Stand where you are.
We let all these moments pass us by.

It’s amazing where I’m standing,
There’s a lot that we can give.
This is ours just for the moment,
There’s a lot that we can give.

It’s amazing where I’m standing,
There’s a lot that we can give.
This is ours just for the moment,
There’s a lot that we can give.

Seal – Kiss From A Rose

SealSeguimos con bandas sonoras (hay que reconocer que el mundo del celuloide y las series escogen bien las melodías que les acompañan…). Hoy toca esta mítica canción de Seal, que se dio a conocer gracias a Batman Forever. Un baladón que necesitó de una película para darse a conocer. Por cierto, está abierto en el foro de Silencio el hilo «B.S.O que más os ha aportado”. Aportad vosotros también 😉

Letra:

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill.

[estribillo]
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny.
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?

[estribillo]

I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I’ve been kissed by a rose
I’ve been kissed by a rose on the grave,
…And if I should fall along the way
I’ve been kissed by a rose
…been kissed by a rose on the grave.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.

To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny, yeah
Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby.

[estribillo]

Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grave
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grave

Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.

The Darkness – I Believe In A Thing Called Love

The DarknessNoche de San Juan. La noche más corta y si pensabais que os iba a poner una canción pagana, estabais equivocados. Recordé esta melodía de The Darkness el otro día gracias al grupo de Silencio en last.fm, pero ya la tenía fichada tras la banda sonora de la segunda parte de El Diario de Bridget Jones, en la que acompaña una pelea mítica entre Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) y Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) en una fuente.

Por cierto, el videoclip no tiene desperdicio 😀

Letra:

Can’t explain all the feelings that you’re making me feel
My heart’s in overdrive and you’re behind the steering wheel

[estribillo]
Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you’re touching me
I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There’s a chance we could make it now
We’ll be rocking ‘til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everythin’ is A.OK!

[estribillo]

Jet – Look What You’ve Done

Jet - Move OnHoy toca efecto contrario al de ayer. Por fin he hecho deporte, he descargado toda mi rabia y ahora estoy relajadita y cansada. Así que necesito una canción que acompañe mi estado de ánimo. Esa es Look What You’ve Done, melodía de la banda australiana Jet que podéis encontrar en su disco Get Born (2003).

Letra:

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to prove

[estribillo]
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
‘Cause I just can’t think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

[estribillo]

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to do

[estribillo]

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
