Semisonic – Secret Smile

SemisonicVolvemos de las vacaciones con nuevas canciones. Esta sonrisa secreta pertenece al disco Feeling Strangely Fine (1998) y ha sido usada en innumerables series (Dawson Crece, Embrujadas, …) y anuncios de televisión. De letra sencilla y estribillo pegadizo, transmite un buen rollo increíble. Porque a veces una simple sonrisa lo cura todo.

En el videoclip aparece Dan Wilson, el vocalista de la banda.

Letra:

[estribillo]
Nobody knows it but you’ve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you’ve got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I’m losing, I’m bluesing
But you can save me from madness

[estribillo]

So save me I’m waiting
I’m needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I’m grieving, I’m barely believing now, now

When you are flying around and around the world
And I’m lying alonely
I know there’s something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only

[estribillo]

Joan Osborne – One Of Us

Joan OsborneExisten artistas a los que un pelotazo les marca toda su trayectoria. Un ejemplo de esto es el de Joan Osborne, que con One of Us, perteneciente a su primer álbum (Relish, 1995), murió de éxito. Apenas se supo más de ella.

En esta canción plantea cuestiones existenciales sobre Dios, con frases del tipo: «¿Y si Dios hubiera sido como uno de nosotros?» «¿Qué le preguntarías si lo tuvieses cara a cara?«.

[audio:OneOfUs.mp3]

Letra:

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

[estribillo]
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin’ to make his way home?

If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?

[estribillo]

Back up to heaven all alone
No, nobody calling on the phone
No, just tryin’ to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
‘Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

[estribillo]
