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

The Coral – Dreaming of You

The Coral - Dreaming of YouLunes lluvioso por el norte. Mucho trabajo y poco ocio. Así que o pongo una canción animada, o caigo en la más absoluta de las depresiones. Por eso he elegido esta canción de The Coral (otra que sale de la banda sonora de Scrubs, y ya van ni se sabe…). De The Coral se dice que fueron los padres de bandas como la de ayer.

Por cierto, ya lo he anunciado en mi blog personal, pero para los que no lo lean: he creado un grupo en last.fm para complementar a este espacio. Podéis leer más aquí.

Letra:

It’s up with my heart when it skips a beat
Can’t feel no pavement right under my feet

[estribillo]
Up in my lonely room
When I’m dreaming of you
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I don’t want you now

When I’m down and my hands are tied
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line
From this pain I just can’t disguise
Its gonna hurt but I’ll have to say goodbye

[estribillo]

Oh yeah

Ohhh Ohhhhh

The Zutons – Valerie

The ZutonsSe acaba el fin de semana pero hay que empezar con alegría una semana más. Así que os dejo con The Zutons, una banda de rock inglesa que acaba de sacar nuevo trabajo: You can do anything. Sin embargo, yo he elegido una de sus canciones más conocidas: Valerie (Tired of hanging around, 2006). Siguiendo con la costumbre de buscar otras versiones de las canciones, os dejo con esta de James Morrison. Ya me diréis cuál os gusta más.

Letra:

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things,
what you’re doing and in my head I make a picture

[estribillo]
‘cos since I’ve come on home , well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won’t you come on over Valerie? Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,
did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didnt catch a tan
I hope you find the right man who’ll fix it up for ya
Are you shoppin’ anywhere,
changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine
you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy

[estribillo]

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things,
what you’re doing and in my head I make a picture

Cos since I’ve come home, well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair and the way you dress
Won’t you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won’t you come on over Valerie? Valerie? Valerie? Valerie?…

Radiohead – Creep

Radiohead - CreepEs curioso que una de mis canciones favoritas de Radiohead sea su primer sencillo: Creep (1992). Eso sí, es triste de narices. De hecho, la BBC Radio 1 no apostó inicialmente por ella porque decía que era depresiva. Total, sólo por decir que es un arrastrado y un rarito… cómo son ;-). Creo que es el mayor éxito de la banda y cuenta con numerosas versiones. De entre ellas me quedaré con la que suele hacer Damien Rice junto a su Blower’s Daughter (canción que inauguró este blog y que tanto gusta a MaY).

El vídeo que os he puesto pertenece a la versión «light» en la que dicen: «you’re so very special aunque en la original era you’re so fucking special (menudas censuras…).

Letra:

When you were here before
Could’nt look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You’re so very special

[estribillo]
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here.

I dont care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so very special
I wish I was special

[estribillo]

She’s running out again,
She’s running out
She’s run run run running out…

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so very special
I wish I was special…

OK Go – Here It Goes Again

Ok GoLa canción seleccionada para hoy me pone las pilas, pero sobre todo me quedo con el videoclip. Simplemente genial y con muy pocos elementos. Los integrantes de este grupo norteamericano son muy (y recalco lo de muy) peculiares. Eso sí, son una banda muy dospuntoceril. Tienen un blog, hacen podcasts, tienen una galería de fotos montada con imágenes de Flickr que han subido sus fans con la etiqueta okgo. E incluso cuentan con un juego en flash en el que tienes que correr por la autopista para rescatarles de un secuestro (no os perdáis los textos que acompañan al juego).

Letra:

It could be ten, but then again, I can’t remember half an hour since a quarter to four.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.
Hey!

[estribillo]
Just when you think you’re in control,
just when you think you’ve got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
Oh here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known,
should have known,
should have known again,
But here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.

It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of reserve.
Now through the lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.
Hey!

[estribillo]

I guess there’s got to be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.
Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes, here it goes.
Oh here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
but here it goes again.
Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it, Oh here it goes
I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have known
Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
