Annie Lennox – Why

Annie LenoxHoy toca una joya de hace unos cuantos años (Diva, 1992) de la mano de la voz de Eurythmics: Annie Lennox. Poco se puede decir que no se sepa ya de esta artista. Su voz tiene personalidad propia.

Y la canción representa a la perfección esos momentos en los que dejamos de escuchar a las personas que nos importan y hacemos daño sin darnos cuenta.

Escucha «Annie Lennox Why»

Letra:

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
But when I start to try to tell you
That’s when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of trouble’s only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me…
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you’re thinking
And I’ve heard it said too many times
That you’d be better off
Besides…
Why can’t you see this boat is sinking
Let’s go down to the water’s edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out, turning inside out

Tell me…
Why
Tell me…
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I’ll never tread
These are the dreams I’ll dream instead
This is the joy that’s seldom spread
These are the tears…
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
‘Cause I don’t think you know how I feel
I don’t think you know what I feel
I don’t think you know what I feel
You don’t know what I feel

Aquí podéis disfrutar de su directo, con Annie y un piano exclusivamente.

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

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]

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

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.
