Adele – Chasing Pavements

AdeleSiguiendo un poco la línea de Kate Nash, hoy vengo con otra promesa inglesa. Se trata de Adele, que con tan sólo 20 añitos (fijaos si es joven, que hasta yo soy mayor….), ya tiene su primer disco en el mercado (19, 2008) y promete pegar fuerte.

Música recomendada para hasta los más incontinentes de los gustos 😉

Letra:

I’ve made up my mind,
Don’t need to think it over,
if I’m wrong I am right,
Don’t need to look no further,
This ain’t lust,
i know this is love but,

If i tell the world,
I’ll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And thats exactly what i need to do,
If i’m in love with you,

[estribillo]
Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If i knew my place should i leave it there?
Should i give up,
Or should i just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I’d build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops,
and my back begins to tingle
finally could this be it

[estribillo]

Antony And The Johnsons – Hope There’s Someone

AntonyAntony And The Johnsons es un grupo que gira entorno a la persona de Antony Hegarty, vocalista y compositor de todas sus canciones. Hope There’s Someone (I Am a Bird Now, 2005) es un golpe de melancolía que demuestra que todos necesitamos a alguien cerca nuestro y que el miedo a quedarnos solos siempre nos asalta. Además puede que os suene de un anuncio de Massimo Dutti.

Letra:

Hope there’s someone
Who’ll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there’s someone
Who’ll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I’m tired

There’s a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head

Oh I’m scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don’t want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There’s a man on the horizon
Wish that I’d go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here’s hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don’t want to go
To the seal’s watershed

Hope there’s someone
Who’ll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there’s someone
Who’ll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I’m tired

Moby – Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? [Recomendación]

MobySegunda recomendación que se pasa por este blog. Esta vez viene de la mano de Mak, que ha hecho un tremendo esfuerzo por no enrollarse mucho ;-P:

Why does my heart feel so bad? (Play, 1999), es una canción que me encanta en algunos momentos de bajón. Es como si Moby hubiese logrado plasmar qué es la melancolía, al menos para mí. A veces pienso que me parezco en algo al chico del videoclip, pero no solamente en que se sienta solo o no comprenda al resto del mundo ni el resto del mundo le comprenda a él, sino en que como él, como todos, también tengo algún amigo aún sufriéndome ;-), y un lugar donde ser yo, aunque no está tan lejos como esa Luna…

Moby es uno de mis músicos y DJs preferidos, así que si Lore me deja, seguiré recomendando otras canciones suyas.

Letra:

Why does my heart

Why does my heart
Feel so bad?
Why does my soul
Feel so bad?

These open doors

[Repetir hasta la saciedad]

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”.

Escucha » Jet – Move On»

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

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
