The Cranberries – Zombie [Recomendación]

The CranberriesComo esta semana ando igual que el título de esta canción, os dejo con la recomendación que me hacía ya hace un tiempo Antonio (llevo mucho retraso con vuestros envíos, pero sed pacientes 😉 ).

¿Te gustaría pinchar algo de los Cranberries? Por ejemplo Zombie, con el vídeo oficial, que fue un bombazo en el tiempo, diez años ahora y es parte de la banda sonora de nuestra vida, ¿no te parece?.

Una canción protesta de esta banda irlandesa ante el conflicto armado que asolaba su país y que podemos encontrar dentro del disco No Need to Argue (1994). Sin duda, los niños son los más perjudicados de estos enfrentamientos. De hecho, Zombie fue escrita en memoria de dos chicos, Jonathan Ball y Tim Parry, asesinados en un atentado bomba del IRA.

Letra:

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence causes silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it’s not me
It’s not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fightin’!
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are cryin!

[estribillo]
In your head! In your head!
Zombie! Zombie! Zombie, hey, hey, hey!
What’s in your head, in your head?
Zombie! Zombie! Zombie hey, hey, hey,oh dou, dou…

Another mother’s breaking
Heart is taken over.
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken.
It’s the same old theme
Since 1916!
In your head, in your head
They’re still fightin’!
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head!
They are dyin’!

Matchbox Twenty – Bright Lights

Matchbox TwentyHay momentos en nuestras vidas en los que las luces brillantes nos ciegan y arrastran, casi nublando nuestra razón. Es entonces cuando aparecen las personas que intentan ponernos los pies en la tierra. Pero es difícil escucharlas con tanto canto de sirena. Sin duda, de esta canción me quedo con Some things you don’t leave until they leave you. Espero no tener que esperar a dejar cosas hasta que no me dejen a mí.

De Matchbox 20, pocas presentaciones hacen falta.

Letra:

She got out of town on the railway, new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway
Well, some things in this world you just cant change
Some things you can’t see until it gets too late

[estribillo]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all I’m up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don’t receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
in her apartment in the city
But some things in this world
Man, they dont make sense
Some things you don’t leave until they leave you
And then the things that you miss, you say

[estribillo]

Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down
For God sakes turn around

[estribillo]

Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home

Justice – We Are Your Friends

JusticeNo soy nada seguidora de la música electrónica, pero esta canción se me ha metido en la cabeza y no hay manera de sacarla. Es una remezcla de dos franceses: Gaspard Augé y Xavier De Rosnay (Justice) del mítico Never Be Alone de Simian.

No perdáis detalle del videoclip, porque muestra la mejor forma de despertar a tus amigos tras una noche de borrachera. Con gente así, ¿para qué tener enemigos? Empezad bien el fin de semana y cuidadito con vuestras resacas y vuestros supuestos amigos… 😉

Aquí la versión original de Simian:

Letra:

Because we, are, your friends.
You’ll, never be alone again.
Well c’mon.
Well c’mon.
Well c’mon.
Well c’monnnn.

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.
