Sara Bareilles – Love Song

Sara Bareilles - Love SongHoy toca canción más optimista y con ritmo pegadizo. La he escuchado por primera vez en un bar y me ha enganchado de tal manera que me he visto obligada a sacar una libretita para copiar el estribillo y buscarlo luego en google 😉

La artista es Sara Bareilles y la canción pertenece a su primer y hasta ahora único disco: Little Voice (2005).

Letra:

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it’s too soon to see
If I’m happy in your hands
I’m unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s
Make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s
Make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you’ll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
‘cause I believe there’s a way you can love me
Because I say
I won’t write you a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see

I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
‘cause you asked for it
‘cause you need one, you see
I’m not gonna write you a love song
‘cause you tell me it’s make or break in this
If you’re on your way
I’m not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don’t want it for a minute
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There’s a reason to
Write you a love song today

The Verve – Bitter Sweet Symphony

The Verve - Bitter Sweet SymphonyFinalizamos la semana con esta sinfonía agridulce del extinto grupo The Verve (ahora sólo nos queda Richard Ashcroft) que podemos encontrar en Urban Hymns, 1998. Aunque se dice y se comenta que puede que se vuelvan a juntar… habrá que esperar.

La canción es pesimista, pero es lo que últimamente me acompaña… Me quedo con la frase «I’m a million different people from one day to the next» porque últimamente parezco una noria: tan pronto estoy arriba como abajo.

Eso sí, me encanta el videoclip. ¿Nunca os ha apetecido andar el línea recta como Richard? La única pega es que igual te puedes ganar algún problemilla 😉

Letra:

‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you’re a slave to the money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can’t change, I can’t change, I can’t change,
but I’m here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I’m a million different people from one day to the next
I can’t change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I’ve never prayed,
But tonight I’m on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there’s nobody singing to me now

No change, I can’t change, I can’t change, I can’t change,
but I’m here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I’m a million different people from one day to the next
I can’t change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can’t change, I can’t change…)
(Ooooohhhhh…)

‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can’t change, I can’t change, I can’t change,
but I’m here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I’m a million different people from one day to the next
I can’t change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can’t change my mold, no,no,no,no,no
I can’t change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)(Lalalalalalaaaaaaaa…)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)

Ryan Adams – Desire

Ryan Adams - DesireEl otro día, leyendo a Unai me encantó su recomendación musical. Así que aquí traigo un deseo de Ryan Adams (Demolition, 2002). Me quedo con la estrofa: «This time I’m speeding with no direction. Without a reason» porque no hay peor sensación que andar por la vida sin ninguna motivación, sin una meta que te anime a continuar el camino.

Escucha Ryan Adams – Desire

Letra:

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The water’s higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I’m speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

You know me. You know my way in.
You just can’t show me, but God I’m praying,
That you’ll find me, and that you’ll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire

Athlete – Wires

AthletePor finos alambres caminan los funámbulos. Algunos lo hacen con una red debajo y otros sin nada. Dura puede ser la caída pero más duro es no intentar cruzar.

Después de esta divagación os dejo ya con los alambres de Athlete (Tourist, 2005).

Letra:

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
You got tears, making tracks
I got tears, that are scared of the facts

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I’ve seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
There’s dry blood, on your wrist
Your dry blood on my fingertip

Running, down corridoors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know

I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You’ll be alright
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You’ll be alright

Alright

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I’ve seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes
down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know.

Pixies – Hey

Pixies - HeyYa he vuelto de mis vacaciones tinerfeñas con las pilas cargadas (vale… la intención de esta línea es daros envidia 😛 ). Y para empezar la semana con marcha, qué mejor que esta canción de Pixies. La encontré gracias a un gracioso vídeo en youtube que subieron dos hermanas sin ningún complejo. A raíz de esto, descubrí a este grupo de Boston. Ya tiene sus añitos (¡es del 89!) pero tiene algo que no puedo explicar y que me cautiva…

Letra:

hey
been trying to meet you
hey
must be a devil between us
or whores in my head
whores at my door
whore in my bed
but hey
where
have you
been if you go I will surely die
we’re chained
we’re chained
we’re chained
we’re chained
we’re chained (chained)
bis

uh said the man to the lady
uh said the lady to the man she adored
and the whores like a choir
go uh all night
and mary ain’t you tired of this
uh
is
the
sound
that the mother makes when her baby breaks
we’re chained
we’re chained
we’re chained
we’re chained
we’re chained (chained)
bis
