Jet – Move On

Jet - Move OnNo os dejéis engañar por ese comienzo country al más puro estilo Ranger de Texas. Bajo Move On se esconde una balada de las que ponen los pelos de punta (al menos a mí). Y tampoco os dejéis engañar por el estilo, porque Jet es una banda de rock (o indie rock, para el que se ponga quisquilloso…). Os podéis encontrar el single en su álbum debut: Get Born (2004).

Espero que disfrutéis de estos australianos que pusieron el nombre a su grupo por la canción de Paul McCartney del disco “Band on the run”.

Letra:

Well I been thinking about the future
I’m too young to pretend
It’s such a waste to always look behind you
Should be lookin’ straight ahead

Yeah, I’m gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
Yeah it’s hard
If you had have only seen

10.34 Flinders Street Station
I’m lookin’ down the tracks
Uniform man askin’ am I paid up
Why would I wanna be there?

Yeah gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
Yeah it’s hard
If you had have only seen
Take control
Don’t be afraid of me

‘Cause every once in a while
You think about if your gonna get yourself together
You should be happy just to be alive
And just because you just don’t feel like coming home
Don’t mean that you’ll never arrive

Yeah gonna have to move on
Before we meet again
Yeah it’s hard
If you had have only seen
Take control
Don’t be afraid of me

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

[estribillo]

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.
