Van Morrison - Have I Told You Lately? (1989)

2010-03-26T09:28:00.003+01:00

Esta maravillosa balada es frecuentemente interpretada en bodas, aunque fue originariamente compuesta como una oración. Brian Hinton la describió perfectamente como "una de las más elaboradas canciones de amor del siglo, que recuerdo que me devastó la primera vez que la escuché en tanto que parecía algo nunca dicho antes y a la vez una canción que siempre había conocido. El resto lo pone el enorme talento del Tigre de Belfast.

Letra

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you theres no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, thats what you do

Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles thats what you do

Theres a love thats divine
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you theres no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, thats what you do

Theres a love thats divine
And its yours and its mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you theres no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, thats what you do

Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles thats what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles thats what you do..

Roy Orbison - You Got It (1989)

2010-03-19T08:22:00.004+01:00

Aunque comparte las mismas raíces de rockabilly como Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash y Elvis Presley, "The Big O" pasó a ser un auténtico pionero de un estilo nuevo de country/pop basado en el rock & roll en los años 60. Le faltaba carisma y fotogenia, pero andaba sobrado de talento vocal y de composición, estableciendose como el arquetipo de los perdedores en el amor.

Letra

Every time I look into your lovely eyes,
I see a love that money just cant buy.
One look from you, I drift away.
I pray that you are here to stay.

Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!

Every time I hold you I begin to understand,
Everything about you tells me Im your man.
I live my life to be with you.
No one can do the things you do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all

Im glad to give my love to you.
I know you feel the way I do.
Anything you want, you got it.
Anything you need, you got it.
Anything at all, you got it.
Baby!
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Anything at all
Baby
You got it.

Joan Manuel Serrat - Esos locos bajitos (1981)

2010-03-12T09:21:00.001+01:00

Tras la vuelta del exilio, en el que compuso sus canciones más combativas y la promulgación de la Ley de Amnistía (1978), Serrat se reincorpora decididamente a la escena de la canción española. En 1981 publica En tránsito, con el que consigue situarse en lo más alto de las listas españolas y dar un aire maduro y renovado a su obra con temas tan maravillosos plenos de sensibilidad y verdad como éste que hoy recordamos.

Letra

A menudo los hijos se nos parecen,
y así nos dan la primera satisfacción;
ésos que se menean con nuestros gestos,
echando mano a cuanto hay a su alrededor.

Esos locos bajitos que se incorporan
con los ojos abiertos de par en par,
sin respeto al horario ni a las costumbres
y a los que, por su bien, (dicen) que hay que domesticar.

Niño,
deja ya de joder con la pelota.
Niño,
que eso no se dice,
que eso no se hace,
que eso no se toca.

Cargan con nuestros dioses y nuestro idioma,
con nuestros rencores y nuestro porvenir.
Por eso nos parece que son de goma
y que les bastan nuestros cuentos
para dormir.

Nos empeñamos en dirigir sus vidas
sin saber el oficio y sin vocación.
Les vamos trasmitiendo nuestras frustraciones
con la leche templada
y en cada canción.

Nada ni nadie puede impedir que sufran,
que las agujas avancen en el reloj,
que decidan por ellos, que se equivoquen,
que crezcan y que un día
nos digan adiós.

Wham! - Last Christmas (1984)

2010-03-05T16:32:00.000+01:00

Escrita por George Michael constituyó uno de los numerosos éxitos del grupo en su corta trayectoria 1982-1986. Aunque el single no llegó a ser número uno, si consiguió millonarias ventas y ha sido versioneada por numerosos artistas. Algunos consideran que presenta ciertas similitudes con el tema "Can't Smile Without You" popularizado por Barry Manilow. Si quieres comprobarlo pincha aquí para oir la canción de Barry.

Letra

Chorus:

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone.

Boyzone - Picture Of You (1997)

2010-02-26T12:22:00.004+01:00

Boyzone es una boy band masculina de pop, procedentes de Irlanda, de gran éxito en el Reino Unido a mediados de los 90. Esta formada por 5 componentes, entre los que sobresalen el líder de la banda Ronan Keating, que inició su propia carrera en solitario, aunque el grupo se volviera a reunir en el año 2008.

Letra

Didn't they say that I would make a mistake
Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble
People told me you were too much to take
I couldn't see it, I didn't want to know

I let you in, and you let me down
You messed me up and you turned my life around
Left me feeling I had nowhere to go
I was alone how was I to know that

You would be there when I needed somebody
You would be there the only one could help

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

Who'd believe that after all we've been through
I'd be able to put my trust in you
Goes to show you can forgive and forget
Looking back I have no regrets cos

You would be there when I needed somebody
You would be there the only one could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

You would be there when I needed somebody
You would be there the only one could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

Had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

Had a picture of you in my mind, all along
Never knew it could be so wrong, all along
Why'd it take me so long just to find .

Shola Ama - You Might Need Somebody (1997)

2010-02-19T09:19:00.002+01:00

Esta cantante inglesa firmó su mayor éxito con esta interesante versión pop/soul del clásico de Turley Richards. El año anterior ya había ganado la atención del público con el tema "You're The One I Love". Las adicciones al alcohol y las drogas la sumieron en una fuerte depresión y la apartaron del mundo musical. Ahora vuelve como vocalista en el tema "DJ Play" del grupo Perempay & Dee (ver video aquí).

Letra

Need somebody (Repeat)
When somebody reaches for your heart
Open up and let them through
'Cause everybody needs someone around
Things can tumble down on you
You'll discover when you look around
You don't have to be alone
Just one lover is all you need to know
When you're feeling all alone, oh
You might need somebody
You might need somebody. too
(You might need somebody, too)
You might need somebody
You might need somebody, too
(You might need somebody, too)
(Ad lib)
If there's fire stirring your heart
And you're sure it's strong and right
Keep it burning through the cold and dark
It can warm your lonely nights, oh
Repeat)
Baby -
Repeat)
Oh you might need somebody. too
(Need somebody) Yeah
Oh you're gonna need somebody, too
(Need somebody) Yeah. yeah
You might need somebody, too, baby
(Need somebody) Oh I do, ooh
Everybody needs somebody (Need somebody)
I know need somebody
You're gonna need somebody (Need somebody)
Too, I know I do
(Need somebody)
Need somebody too.

Frankie Vallie - Grease (1978)

2010-02-12T08:45:00.006+01:00

Francis Stephen Castelluccio vocalista del grupo The Four Seasons, uno de los más destacados grupos musicales de la década de 1960 y los años 70. Consiguió hasta 39 Top 40 en total, tanto en solitario como con el grupo. Aunque su grabación solista más conocida es "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" (1967), nosotros recordamos el famoso tema de apertura de la película Grease, escrito por Barry Gibb.

Letra

I solve my problems and I see the light
We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word

They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a crying shame.
Their lips are lying, only real is real
We start to find right now we got to be what we feel

Grease is the word
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word
It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

This is a life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion
What are we doing here?

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word (the word that you heard)
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

Grease is the word (is the word that you heard)
It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

Grease is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word
Is the word.

Cheryl Lynn - Got To Be Real (1979)

2010-02-05T09:24:00.003+01:00

El álbum homónimo producido por el teclista David Paich del grupo Toto contenía su mayor éxito, esta canción que fue co-escrita por Paich y Lynn y que es considerada una de las canciones definitivas de la era disco. Siempre he pensado que con esa voz malabarista y potente podría haber sido una gran cantante de música rnb.

Letra

What you find-ah
What you feel now
What you know-a
To be real

What you find, ah
(I think I love you, baby)
What you feel now
(I feel I need you, baby)
What you know-a
To be real

Ooh, your love's for real now
You know that your love is my love
My love is your love
Our love is here to stay

What you find-ah
What you feel now
What you know-a
To be real

Ooh, your love's for real now
You know that your love is my love
My love is your love
Our love is here to stay

What you find, ah
(I think I love you, baby)
What you feel now
(I feel I need you, baby)
What you know-a
To be real

What you find, ah
(I think I love you, baby)
What you feel now
(I feel I need you)
What you know-a
To be real....

Letra

Oh yeah, yeah…
Open up your heart, what do you feel
Open up your heart, what do you feel… It is real

The big bang may be a million years away
But I can’t think of a better time to say

World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future, open up inside
World, hold on
One day you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Children of the sky…

Look inside, you’ll find a deeper love
The kind that only comes from high above

If you ever meet your inner child, don’t cry no no no
Tell them everything is gonna be alright

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
One day you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Children of the sky… alright

Don’t take “no” for an answer, no no

Right here, spread love, everybody join together now
One voice, one heart, love and unity, everybody sing
Yeah!

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
One day you will have to answer to the children of the sky

World, hold on
Come one, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
One day you will have to answer to the children of the sky.

Su último concierto lo dieron el 26 de noviembre de 1982 en la discoteca Yoko Lennon's de Bilbao.

Letra

Bailando.
Me paso el dia bailando.
Y los vecinos mientras tanto.
No paran de molestar.
Bebiendo.
Me paso el dia bebiendo.
La cocktelera agitando.
Llena de Soda y Vermut.

Tengo los huesos desencajados,
el femur tengo muy dislocado;
tengo el cuerpo muy mal,
pero una gran vida social.

Bailo todo el dia,
con o sin compañia.
..Muevo la pierna, muevo el pie,
muevo la tibia y el peroné;
muevo la cabeza, muevo el esternón,
muevo la cadera siempre que tengo ocasión.

Tengo los huesos desencajados,
el fémur tengo muy dislocado;
tengo el cuerpo muy mal,
pero una gran vida social.

Bailando....

Letra

To-To-To-Tonight
To-To-To-To-To-Tonight

Tonight, Tonight

We try to know and take it just like tonight
Let your feeling riding over the flies
To make your joy, well, enjoy yourself
Don't give up the pleasure of tonight

Don't be so worry, baby
Everything has gotta be great
Why don't you try to know it
You don't tell things to forget
Or will I tell you

Oh, oh...
We will see tonight
We got the pleasure in the right way
Oh, oh...
You and me, better now
We're finally together

Tonight...

Stop to move and just listen to me
We'll be paddling now to lose your mind
Catch the moment, enjoy yourself
Try to touch it with the love in your eyes.

Lisa Loeb - I Do (1997)

2010-01-02T10:09:00.000+01:00

Lisa Anne Loeb es una cantautora y actriz norteamericana al que tiene guardada una página en la historia de la música por ser el primer artista en conseguir un número uno en la lista de singles por la canción "Stay (I Missed You)" sin haber firmado un contrato con una discográfica. El milagro fue posible al incluir ese tema en la banda sonora de la película Reality Bites (1994).

Letra

when i'm done with thinking, then i'm done with you.
when i'm done with crying, then i'm done with you.
when i feel so tired, then i'm done with you.
everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way -

and i do.
you can't hear it, but i do.
you can't hear it, but i do.

you're trying to convince me that what i've done's not right.
i get so frustrated, i stay up every night.
you ask me for an answer, and i'm so tired and i'm up in the air.
everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way -

and i do.
you can't hear it, but i do.
you can't hear it, but i'm feeling this way
just because you say

i will be ignored.
i will be denied.
i could be erased.
i could be brushed aside.
i will get scared, and i will get shoved down,
but i feel like i do beause you push me around.

i'm starting to ignore you, i've doubted you so long.
i'm tired of over-thinking, i know you don't belong.
now i'm asking questions - no one pushes me around.
everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way -

and i do.
you can't hear it, but i do.
you don't seem angry, but i do.
i do.

Esta banda estadounidense de rock alternativo se hizo tremendamente popular -aunque le duró poco- a principios de la década de los noventa por este tema en el que destacaba la particular voz de su cantante Linda Perry. Solo funcionó el grupo tres años más hasta su disolución. Hoy en día Linda es una exitosa compositora, productora y empresaria.

Letra

Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination.

k.d. Lang - Constant Craving (1992)

2009-12-18T08:47:00.001+01:00

Gocemos hoy de un gran tema, de una gran voz y en directo nada menos, que es, como tantas veces he dicho, cuando un artista demuestra realmente su valía. Kathryn Dawn Lang es una cantante canadiense que se mueve entre el pop y la música country. Lleva ya 14 discos a sus espaldas y más de 20 años en esto de la música. Además ha sido ganadora de varios premios Grammys (uno de ellos por este tema). Vegetariana, defensora de los animales y declara abiertamente ser lesbiana.

Letra

(kd lang/ben mink)
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

Constant craving
Has always been

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom
To its youth

Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been

Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been.

Letra

Elephants strayed far from their herds
Leathery skinned
Leathery skinned
Leathery skinned

Their swinging trunks
And ears of felt
Down on the veldt

A moonbeam stole
Along each tusk
And then i sang to the boys
Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys
Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys

Branches made of ivory
That seems to fly
Leathery skinned
Leathery skinned
Leathery skinned

Their swinging trunks
And ears of felt
Down on the veldt

A moonbeam stole
Along each tusk
And then i sang to the girls
Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls
Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls

Rhythm time away
Tam, tam , tam...
Rhythm time away
Tam, tam , tam...
Branches side, branches side lining my face
Branches side, branches side lining my face

In africa once a black woman, a black man
In africa once a black woman, a black man

Hunters at home
They curl up the bare
Soles of their feet
While they're singing
Massacre songs with all this little sounds, baby

Branches side, branches side lining my face
Branches side, branches side lining my face
Branches side, branches side lining my face

Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys
Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys

Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls
Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls

Branches side, branches side lining my face
Branches side, branches side lining my face.

Take That - Back For Good (1995)

2009-12-04T10:19:00.001+01:00

Take That es un grupo británico original de Manchester que comenzó su carrera en 1990. Lo componían: Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, Howard Donald y Robbie Williams. Éste último dejó la formación en julio de 1995, lo cual precipitó la desaparición de la misma en 1996 (volverían a juntarse 10 años después). Take That generó un importante fenómeno fan a su alrededor en los 90 que explicaría en parte los ocho números uno que consiguieron.

Letra

I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

I guess now it's time, that you came back for good.

Celtas Cortos - 20 de abril (1991)

2009-11-27T09:12:00.001+01:00

Con el paso de los años su estilo fue mezclándose con muchos otros como la música caribeña, el flamenco, la música electrónica o el reggae. Tienen una larga lista de éxitos que encabezan temas como "20 de abril", "La senda del tiempo", "Tranquilo majete" o "No nos podrán parar". En el año 2002 se produce la marcha de Cifu (que volvería en el año 2006) después de los anteriores abandonos de César Cuenca y Nacho Martín.

Letra

20 de abril del 90
hola chata, ¿como estás?
¿Te sorprende que te escriba?
Tanto tiempo es normal

Pues es que estaba aquí solo
me había puesto a recordar
me entro la melancolía
y te tenia que hablar

¿Recuerdas aquella noche
en la cabaña del Turmo?
Las risas que nos hacíamos

antes todos juntos
hoy no queda casi nadie de los de antes
y los que hay han cambiado,
han cambiado, SI!

Pero bueno, ¿tu que tal? di
lo mismo hasta tienes críos
Que tal te va con el tío ese?
espero sea divertido

Yo la verdad, como siempre
sigo currando en lo mismo
la música no me cansa
pero me encuentro vacío

Bueno pues ya me despido
si te mola me contestas,
espero que mis palabras,
desordenen tu conciencia.

Pues nada chica, lo dicho
hasta pronto si nos vemos
yo sigo con mis canciones
y tu sigue con tus sueños.

Gato Perez - Gitanitos y morenos (1981)

2009-11-20T19:03:00.002+01:00

Fue un músico de origen argentino establecido en Cataluña, que destacó especialmente en el género musical de la rumba catalana. Gato Pérez ha sido reconocido como el renovador de la rumba catalana, precisamente en unos momentos en que pasaba por sus horas más bajas, debido a la pujanza de la muy dinámica movida madrileña. Destacan especialmente la calidad de sus letras y la fusión que logra entre la rumba y otras músicas populares contemporáneas.

Letra

Gitanitos y morenos son los ases del compás
y en la sangre de sus venas late un pulso ancestral.
Ahora viene este cantante, forastero del sabor,
que se mira en el espejo del sentir multicolor.

Ahora vengo yo a cantar sereno,
ahora vengo yo con sabor aunque no sea moreno.
Ahora vengo yo a cantar distinto,
con mi estilo especial de palabras y ritmo.

Pintor que pintas con amor, ¿por qué desprecias mi color?
si tú sabes que en el fondo yo también tengo sabor.
Puede ser que te equivoques con tu pincel extranjero,
pues también sienten el ritmo todos los blanquitos buenos.

Ahora vengo yo a cantar sereno,
ahora vengo yo con sabor aunque no sea moreno.
Ahora vengo yo a cantar distinto,
con mi estilo especial de palabras y ritmo.

Es un hijo de la calle, de los libros y el humor
que descubre su camino a golpes de contradicción.
El repertorio no es genuino según la pura tradición,
pero respeta a su manera las verdades del tambor. .

Olivia Newton-John - Hopelessly Devoted To You (1978)

2009-11-13T11:38:00.000+01:00

Esta película musical estaba inspirada en los años 50 bajo la dirección de Randal Kleiser. Se basa en el musical creado por Jim Jacobs y Warren Casey, del mismo título y que data de 1972. Olivia Newton-John era reacia a actuar en la película debido a sus malas experiencias anteriormente en el cine, pero John Travolta se presentó en su casa y le pidió que hiciera la película con él, lo demás es historia.

Letra

Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else
for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him",
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you.

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence (1990)

2009-11-06T09:51:00.001+01:00

Se le considera uno de los mejores exponentes del género electrónica, siendo importantes precursores del uso del sintetizador y del sampler como instrumentos musicales. Se dieron a conocer en 1981 como grupo de synthpop, sin embargo pronto perdieron esa etiqueta a medida que endurecieron su sonido y oscurecieron sus letras y su propia estética.

Letra

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Cant you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence
.

Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me (1997)

2009-10-30T12:28:00.001+01:00

Lou Pearlman, un millionario residente en Florida, quería formar un grupo de cinco chicos jóvenes que supieran cantar y bailar. Para esto, puso anuncios en periódicos locales y fueron seleccionados. Pearlman contrató a ex managers de New Kids on the Block, los Wright, pero éstos quisieron evitar los errores cometidos y sometieron a los chicos a duros entrenamientos vocales y de baile.

Letra

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are
As long as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
As long as you love me.

The Stranglers - Golden Brown (1981)

2009-10-24T07:54:00.000+02:00

La polémica acerca del significado verdadero de la letra de este tema siempre persiguió al grupo británico. En el año 2001, el vocalista/guitarrista del grupo Hugh Cornwell zanjó la cuestión en el libro The Stranglers Song By Song. En él afirmaba que el la canción describía como tanto la heroína como una mujer eran capaces de proporcionar momentos placenteros al hombre.

Letra

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading

West
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown
With golden brown
Never a frown
With golden brown.

Level 42 - Lessons In Love (1985)

2009-10-18T10:44:00.000+02:00

Level 42 es un una banda musical de pop británica con inclinaciones hacia el funk. El grupo tuvo gran éxito durante los 80. La banda ganó fama por la calidad de músicos como Mark King, cuya técnica magistral de tocar el bajo, así como los sonidos del teclista Badarou sirviendo como plantillas para muchos éxitos del grupo como este tema que hoy recordamos.

Letra

Im not proud, I was wrong
And the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
Ive been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
For lessons in love

For restless eyes egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now weve waded in too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love

Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When theres nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Dont let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
Ill wait till you return

All the dreams that we were building
We never lived them
We could lose it, we should use it
(lessons in love) lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better (could be better), should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it (good God)
Lessons in love.

Ivan - Fotonovela (1984)

2009-10-13T09:13:00.000+02:00

Con este tema alcanzó la nada desdeñable cifra de de 4 millones de copias vendidas. El cantante, "El Bisbal de los 80", cambió más adelante, más bien obligado por la inexorable caída del cabello, su dorada cabellera por un look de cabeza rapada. Su disco mítico del techno dance español tuvo dos canciones legendarias: "Baila" (Vuelta ciclista a España) y este "Fotonovela".

Letra

Tu para mi eres la estrella
Un corazon a todo color

Nuestra vida como una dulce mentira -
Cuentos tiernos - inventos que inventas tu. b
Vuela - con tu fotonovela
Vuela - mujer fotonovela.

Tu para mi solo una historia
Un medio amor sin solucion

Una musica y una cena con velas -
Siempre tu - fotonovela solo tu.
Vuela - con tu fotonovela
Vuela - mujer fotonovela.

Tu para mi eres la estrella
Yo para ti no se quien soy.
Vuela - con tu fotonovela
Vuela - con tu fotonovela.
Vuela - con tu fotonovela
Vuela - con tu fotonovela..

Gordon Haskell - How Wonderful You Are (2001)

2009-10-08T08:16:00.002+02:00

Antiguo componente de King Crimson, alcanzó por casualidad enorme impacto por esta balada con influencias jazz debido a que gustó a un disc jockey de BBC Radio 2 que la presentó a sus oyentes que la convirtieron en la canción más solicitada de la historia por delante de "Hey Jude" (The Beatles) o "My Way" (Frank Sinatra). Era una irresistible combinación de un poderoso mensaje con una elegante combinación de guitarra, bajo, batería y vocales plenos de soul.

Letra

I go out most nights
Attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz in Harry's Bar
And I know it won't be long
Before they play that song
Do you know how wonderful you are

It's a sentimental sound
Make me wanna fool around
With somebody who is wishing on a star
I'll pull my hat down low
Go up and say hello
Do you know how wonderful you are

Oh we struggle with the art of conversation
And there'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel

Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's Bar
Though we've only just begun
This sure will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are

I've always struggled with the art of conversation
And there'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel

Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's Bar
Though we've only just begun
This sure will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are

Do you know how wonderful you are
Do you know how wonderful you are.

Toni Braxton - Another Sad Song (1993)

2009-10-05T10:16:00.000+02:00

Conocida por su grave voz de contralto, debutó en solitario con el álbum homónimo en el que se incluían estupendos temas a medio camino entre el rnb y el pop que le supusieron ventas de hasta ocho millones de copias. En 1994 ganó el Grammy a la artista revelación y el de mejor interpretación vocal de RnB por este "Another Sad Love Song"; un año más tarde ganaría este mismo galardón por el tema "Breathe Again".

Letra

(Babyface, Daryl Simmons)

Since you been gone
I been hangin' around here lately
With my mind messed up
Jumped in my car tried to clear my mind
Didn't help me
I guess I'm all messed up now baby
Soon as I jumped into my ride
Those memories start to play
A song comes on the radio
And there U are baby once again

It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you

Since you been gone
I keep thinkin' about you baby
Gets me all choked up
This heart of mine keeps
Dreamin' of you and it's crazy
You'd think I'd had enough
As soon as I get you out my head
I'm in my car again
Just one request from the radio
I'm back in love sugar once again

It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you

Here comes the strings
Then somebody sings
Only takes a beat
And then it starts killin' me darlin'
Only takes one note, I tell ya,
From that radio
It's just
Another
Lonely.

Alicia Keys - If I Got You (2003)

2009-10-02T09:00:00.001+02:00

En 2003 presentó su segundo álbum The Diary of Alicia Keys, un disco inspirado en la música americana de los años 70, producido por Peter Edge, Jeff Robinson y por la propia Alicia Keys. If I Ain't Got You fue nominada como Canción del Año para los premios Grammy, la verdad es que es una canción que pone la piel de gallina. Transmite soul, sentimiento y calidad por todos los poros.

Letra

Mmmmmm Mmmm mm ooo

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
No one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

[Outro:]
If I ain't got you with me baby, ooo whoaa
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby.

Jennifer Paige - Crush (1998)

2009-09-29T15:53:00.002+02:00

Jennifer canta desde que tenía sólo cinco años. A los ocho empezó a cantar duetos con su hermano mayor actuando en cafeterías y restaurantes. A los diez, Jennifer comenzó a tocar el piano y con trece años ya escribía sus propias canciones. Con un ritmo pegadizo y letras inspiradas en sus propias vivencias, su productor Andy Goldmark llevó una copia de este tema a la legendaria emisora, KISS FM en Los Ángeles. El resto es ya historia.

Letra

See ya blowin me a kiss
It doesnt take a scientist
To understand whats going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Lets not over analyze
Dont go too deep with it baby
So let it be what itll be
Dont make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Heres what I do, I play it loose
Not like we have a date with destiny

(chorus)
Its just a little crush
Not like I faint everytime we touch
Its just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha la la la, sha la la la
Sha la la la, sha la la la

Its raising my adrenaline
Youre bangin on a heart of tin
Please dont make too much of it baby
Say the word forevermore
Thats not what Im looking for
All I can commit to is maybe
So let it be what itll be
Dont make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Heres what I do, I play it loose
Not like we have a date with destiny

Chorus

Vanilla skies, white picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me

Chorus.

Joe Nichols - Size Matters (2006)

2009-09-26T11:42:00.000+02:00

Escrita por Byron Hill and Mike Dekle para este artista de Arkansas con ascendencia Cherokee, se convirtió en una de las canciones más escuchadas durante aquel año. Quién sabe, quizá tendría que ver con el morbo asociado al título de la canción y aquello de que "el tamaño importa".

Letra

Someday she wants a big ol' house
Sittin' on a big ol' hill
And a mile long tree lined driveway
For her big ol' Coupe DeVille
Yeah, someday she wants a big ol' bank account
With too much to spend
But right now all she wants is a man

With a big ol' heart
Who can love her like nobody can
Big ol' kisses that go on and on
And never end
With a big ol' smile
He'll fill her world with laughter
Size matters, size matters

Someday she wants a big o' ring
With a big ol' rock that shines
And a big ol' walk-in closet
With shoes of every kind
Yeah, someday she wants a big ol' boat
She can lay around gettin' a tan
But right now all she wants is a man

With a big ol' heart
Who can love her like nobody can
Big ol' kisses that go on and on
And never end
With a big ol' smile
He'll fill her world with laughter
Size matters, size matters

With a big ol' heart
Who can love her like nobody can
Big ol' kisses that go on and on
And never end
With a big ol' smile
He'll fill her world with laughter
Size matters, size matters

Size matters.

Dead Or Alive - Brand New Lover (1986)

2009-09-24T09:35:00.001+02:00

Aunque la canción "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" de 1984 fue el mayor éxito musical de esta banda británica, hoy recordamos este tema porque me trae buenos recuerdos personales. Fueron uno de los pioneros del sonido HI-NRG, sin duda además de la fuerza y ritmo de su música destacaban por la excéntrica vestimenta y los diferentes looks de su vocalista Pete Burns.

Letra

Your sweet nature, darling
Was too hard to swallow
I've got the solution
I'm leaving tomorrow
And now as I stand
And stare into your eyes
I see safety there--
I want surprises

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find a brand new lover

When you wake up tomorrow
You'll be all alone
Oh the love that we had
I have quickly outgrown
I wanted to stay, but I just couldn't do it
Couldn't stand there and put you through it

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others

Now other loves will tell you that
I'm nothing but a pleasure-seeker
For once I really must agree
I need to leave you by yourself
And go in search of someone else
To satisfy my curiosity

Your sweet nature, darling
Was too hard to swallow
I've made my decision
I'm leaving tomorrow

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find a brand new lover

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others

What I really need to do
Is find myself a brand new lover
Somebody real nice to me
Who doesn't notice all the others
What I really need to do
Is find a brand new lover (repeat, fade).

INXS - New Sensation (1987)

2009-09-21T12:17:00.001+02:00

Para 1987 el grupo australiano había evolucionado hacia un estilo groove más fino y sofisticado, transformando sus influencias de dance, hard-rock y new wave. Esta evolución fue muy acertada, ya que esto convirtió a la banda en superestrellas internacionales que ganaban cifras multimillonarias. El ejemplo más notable lo encontramos con el súper éxito del álbum Kick, vendiendo 11 millones de copias del disco.

Letra

Live baby live
Now that the day is over
I got a new sensation
In perfect moments
Impossible to refuse
Sleep baby sleep
Now that the night is over
And the sun comes like a god
Into our room
All perfect light and promises

Gotta hold on you
A new sensation
A new sensation
Right now
Gonna take you over
A new sensation
A new sensation

Dream baby dream
Of all thats come and going
And you will find out
In the end
There really is
There really is no difference

Cry baby cry
When youve got to get it out
Ill be your shoulder
You can tell me all
Dont keep it in ya
Well thats the reason why Im here

Are you ready for a new sensation
A new sensation
Right now
Gonna take you on a new sensation
A new sensation

Hate baby hate
When theres nothing left for you
Youre only human
What can you do
Itll soon be over
Dont let your pain take over you

Love baby love
Its written all over your face
Theres nothing better we could do
Than live forever
Well thats all weve got to do

Hey now Im gonna take a new sensation
A new sensation.

Ana Belén - Lía (1986)

2009-09-18T10:58:00.002+02:00

Tras más de cuarenta años de profesión, continúa su prolífica carrera artística con más de cuarenta películas, una veintena de obras de teatro más de treinta y cinco discos, que la han convertido en un icono femenino artístico generacional. Tiene una de las más importantes y reconocibles voces de la música hispana y sus espectáculos musicales han recorrido España y Latinoamérica.

Letra

Lía con tu pelo
edredón de terciopelo
que me pueda guarecer
si me encuentra en cueros
el amanecer.

Lía entre tus labios
a los míos,
respirando en el vacio
aprenderé como por la boca
muere y mata el pez.

Lías teleraña
que enmaraña mi razón
que te quiero mucho
y es sin ton ni son.

Lías cada día
con el día posterior
y entre día y día.

Lía con tus brazos
un nudo de dos lazos
que me ate
a tu pecho amor.

Lía con tus besos
la parte de mis sesos
que manda
en mi corazón.

Lías tus miradas a mi falda
por debajo de mi espalda
y digo yo que mejor
que el ojo pongas la intensión.

Líame a la pata de la cama
no te quedes con las ganas
de saber cuánto amor
nos cabe de una sola vez.

Lías cigarrillos de cariño
y sin papel
para que los fume
dentro de tu piel.

Lías la cruceta
de esta pobre marioneta
y entre lío y lío,
lía, lía.

Lía con tus brazos
un nudo de dos lazos ...

Lías cada día
con el día posterior
y entre día y día.

Lía con tus brazos ... .

Right Said Fred - Don't Talk Just Kiss (1991)

2009-09-17T09:04:00.000+02:00

Este dúo británico formado por los hermanos Richard y Fred Fairbrass tomó el nombre del grupo de una canción de Bernard Cribbins (1962). Tras el espectacular éxito de su primer sencillo "Im Too Sexy", lanzaron este tema cantado a duo con Jocelyn Brown que llegó al número tres en listas británicas.

Letra

Ooh yeah, surrender me a kiss
Let me loose on you inch by inch
The one and only reason is fun fun fun
Well baby, we’ve only just begun

Don’t talk just kiss
We’re beyond words and sound
Don’t talk just kiss
Let your tongue fool around
Let’s fool around

Ooh yeah, there’s people there’s love
You and I both apply to the above
The one and only reason is fun fun fun
Well baby, we’ve only just begun

Don’t talk just kiss
We’re beyond words and sound
Don’t talk just kiss
Let your tongue fool around

Huh-huh we’re wasting precious time
Don’t talk kiss, make it mine
The one and only reason is fun fun fun
Well baby, we’ve only just begun

Don’t talk just kiss
We’re beyond words and sound
Don’t talk just kiss
Let your tongue fool around

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Fool around
Surrender your love to me

Don’t talk just kiss
We’re beyond words and sound
Don’t talk just kiss
Let your tongue fool around

Let’s fool around what d’you say .

Objetivo Birmania - Los amigos de mis amigas (1989)

2009-09-16T11:37:00.001+02:00

Hoy recordamos esta pequeña joya del pop español al más puro estilo Bananarama. Lo que más me llama la atención es la "inocencia" que destila la letra. Hay que ver cómo eran los ochenta... las chicas podían ser "malas" y conservar su imagen de inocentes criaturas. Ahora todo eso ya se ve muy anticuado y se ha pasado al extremo opuesto.

Letra

Yo no sé por qué se enfada Isabel
si llamo a su novio y ceno con él
Se vuelve loco, el muy tonto por mi
y luego me habla dulzuras a la luz de la luna

Yo no sé por qué se enfada también
si quedo en mi casa a solas con él
solo mi amigo dice que quiere ser

Que le tengo en el bote, lo sé
si no me habla de amor, no tiene nada que hacer…

Y es lo que yo te digo
los amigos de mis amigas son mis amigos
Uh! Vaya lio!
Los amigos de mis amigas son mis amigos

Yo no sé por qué se enfada Javier
y deja plantada a mi amiga Isabel
y viene a verme con dos copas de más
y me persigue luego por todo el sofá

Yo no sé por qué él me suele dar
un beso a escondidas en el cuarto de estar
y cuando ya no lo puedo parar (AAAAAAH)

Manos arriba tú viniste a cenar
y con los labios ardiendo empiezo a guisar

Y es lo que yo te digo
los amigos de mis amigas son mis amigos
Uh! Vaya lio!
Los amigos de mis amigas son mis amigos.

2009-09-15T10:30:00.000+02:00

El grupo consiguió con este tema un gran éxito mundial, era el primer single de su disco de debut... las cosas no podían empezar mejor.

Letra

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, and it's been coming for sometime
When it's over so they say
It'll bring a sunny day
I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hot
I know, been that way for all my time
Till forever on it goes
Fill the circle fast and slow
I know, and I can't stop my wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

INSTRUMENTAL

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

Have you ever seen the rain...repeat and fade .

Monica Naranjo - Desátame (1997)

2009-09-14T09:46:00.003+02:00

El inesperado éxito de Mónica Naranjo en América Latina (México) hizo que los responsables de su compañía discográfica decidieran promocionarla en España. Comparándolo con su primer disco, se puede comprobar el cambio de voz y de imagen. Con su nuevo disco, Mónica reaparecía como una diva de gran poder vocal y como una sex symbol.

Letra

Porque no hay en mi vida un martirio que dure más
ahora yo te voy a olvidar
Voy llorando en un taxi no importa la dirección
dejando atrás aquella historia de dos.
Amor, ya ves que me faltas tú
y ahora te falto yo.
Desátame o apriétame más fuerte
pero no quiero que me dejes así
no pararé
me muero por tener
algo entre tú y yo
algo contigo, Ay! Amor.
Déjate de argumentos
las pláticas no te van
si estás por mí, demuéstralo ya.
tan solo un beso sería
motivo para volver
engánchame
o sueltame de una vez.
Amor, ya ves que me faltas tú
y ahora te falto yo.
Desátame
o aprietame más fuerte
pero no quiero que me dejes así
no pararé
me muero por tener

algo entre tú y yo
algo contigo
Ay! Amor
pero desátame.... .

Letra

Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane
Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw
Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw
mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness,
We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
For the sword and the stone
Bad to the bone
Battle is not over
Even when it's won

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in

It's not a second
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting (x3)

J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout
J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes
Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos
Qui ne divisent pas changer

Seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting(x3)

And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
Of the tone the skin is living in

And there's a million voices
And there's a million voices

To tell you what she should be thinking
So you better sober up for just a second

Seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
It's not a second
But seven seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting.

Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite (1992)

2009-09-11T12:33:00.007+02:00

Tasmin Archer es una cantante pop inglesa. Su primer álbum Great Expectations, contuvo este tema que hoy recordamos, una canción filosófica que hablaba sobre los alunizajes y que alcanzó el #1 en el Reino Unido. En 1993, Archer ganó un BRIT Award en la categoría Best British Breakthrough Act. Sin embargo, más tarde bromeó que ella guardaba su premio en la parte posterior de su armario de cocina y dijo que lo usaba para abrir nueces y tiernizar filetes.

Letra

Sleeping Satellite
I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
in the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of mans greatest adventure.
Have we lost what it takes to advance?
Did we peak too soon?
If the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
the earth's sacrificed
for the price of its greatest treasure
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
in the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of mans greatest adventure.
And when we shoot for the stars
what a giant step
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by
like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure
Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
in the reason we chase is lost in romance
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of mans greatest adventure..

Toquinho - Acuarela (1983)

2009-09-06T10:01:00.006+02:00

Cuando era niño a este guitarrista y cantautor brasileño su madre lo llamaba «toquinho da gente». Seguiría entonces con el apodo Toquinho aún cuando su verdadero nombre es Antonio Pecci. Trabajó con Chico Buarque y Vinicius de Moraes. Una hermosa canción que reside en su simplicidad y su emotiva e ingenua letra.

Letra

En los mapas del cielo, el sol siempre es amarillo
y la lluvia o las nubes no pueden velar tanto brillo
ni los árboles nunca podrán ocultar el camino,
de la luz hacia el bosque profundo de nuestro destino.
Esa hierba tan verde, se ve como un manto lejano,
que no puede escapar, que se puede alcanzar, sólo con volar.
Siete mares he surcado, siete mares color azul,
yo soy nave, voy navegando, y mi vela eres tú...
Bajo el agua veo peces de colores,
van donde quieren, no los mandas tú...
Por el cielo, va cruzando, por el cielo color azul,
un avión que vuela alto, diez mil metros de altitud,
desde tierra lo saludan con las manos,
se va alejando, no se dónde va, no se dónde va...
Sobre un tramo de vía, cruzando un paisaje de ensueño,
en un tren que me lleva de nuevo a ser muy pequeño,
de una América a otra, tan sólo es cuestión de un segundo,
basta con desearlo y podrás recorrer todo el mundo...
Un muchacho que trepa, que trepa en lo alto de un muro,
si se siente seguro, verá su futuro con claridad...
Y el futuro, es una nave, que por el cielo volará,
a Saturno, después a Marte, nadie sabe dónde llegará,
si le ves venir, si te trae amores, no te los robes sin apurar.
Aprovecha, los mejores, que después no volverán.
La esperanza, jamás se pierde, los malos tiempos pasarán,
piensa que el futuro es una acuarela y tu vida un lienzo,
que colorear, que colorear...
En los mapas del cielo el sol siempre es amarillo (tú lo pintarás)
y la lluvia o las nubes no pueden velar tanto brillo (tú lo pintarás)
basta aún desearlo y podrá recorrer todo el mundo (tú lo pintarás).

Rosana - Si Tu No Estás Aqui (1996)

2009-09-05T18:27:00.004+02:00

Su primer álbum Lunas rotas fue la entrada más fuerte de un artista nuevo en la historia de la música en España. Lunas rotas se publicó en más de 30 países, entre ellos: México, Brasil, EE.UU., Francia, Alemania, Japón y Corea. El director y productor cinematográfico Quentin Tarantino utilizó dos de sus canciones en la película "Tú asesina, que nosotras limpiamos la sangre".

Letra

No quiero estar sin ti
Si tú no estás aquí me sobra el aire
No quiero estar así
Si tú no estás la gente se hace nadie

Si tú no estás aquí no sé
Que diablos hago amándote
Si tú no estás aquí sabrás
Que Dios no va a entender por qué te vas

No quiero estar sin ti
Si tú no estás aquí me falta el sueño
No quiero andar así
Latiendo un corazón de amor sin dueño

Si tú no estás aquí no sé...

Derramaré mis sueños si algún día no te tengo
Lo más grande se hará lo más pequeño
Pasearé en un cielo sin estrellas esta vez
Tratando de entender quién hizo un infierno el paraíso
No te vayas nunca porque

No puedo estar sin ti
Si tú no estás aquí me quema el aire

Si tú no estás aquí no sé....

Randy Travis - Forever And Ever, Amen (1987)

2009-09-05T18:16:00.003+02:00

Randy Travis siempre será recordado por haber marcado un cambio generacional en la música country. A mediados de la década de los ochenta la country music todavía se encontraba inmersa en plena decadencia tras la etapa como conocida como urban cowboy. El gran mérito de Randy consistió en volver a las raíces. Es uno de los 10 artistas country de la historia con mayor número de ventas.

Letra

You may think that im talking foolish
You've heard that im wild and im free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that i feel for you always will be
But your not just time that im killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as i live, this love that i give
Is gonna be yours until the day that i die

(Chorus)
Oh baby im gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit&talk about the weather
As long as old women sit&talk about old men
If you wonder how long ill be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes a young girls brown hair turn gray
Honey i don't care i ain't in love with your hair
N if it all fell out well i'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well it's easy to see it's happenin to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you

(Chorus)
Oh darlin I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever amen
As long as old men sit&talk about the weather
As long as old women sit&talk about old men
If you wonder how long i'll be faithful
Just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever amen

I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever amen.

Oleta Adams - Rhythm Of Life (1990)

2009-09-05T15:46:00.004+02:00

Una vez, mientras Oleta tocaba piano en bares, fue cuando Roland Orzabal y Curt Smith (Tears for Fears) se quedaron prendados. La invitaron a cantar en el álbum "The Seeds of Love". Luego lanzó su propio álbum de debut "Circle of Love", producido por el propio Orzabal. Su alentadora entrega basada en baladas con poco acompañamiento, ayudó a establecer el género contemporáneo urban adult.

Letra

Climbin' every mountain, always killing time
Count the cost as days go by
Monday I've got Friday on my mind
Why don't we make love
Instead of making plans

Mother Nature, Father Time
Maybe it's the family of man
Angels cry when they hear that tune
It's sleepless nights for the man in the moon

And it's the rhythm of life
My mind's made up
Lucy's sign is a Chinese dragon
Oh, oh, she's got luck
The rhythm of life is the force of habit
Oh, oh, the rhythm of life.

Give the girl a future
Give her what she needs
Teach her life's a Iong flat road
Maybe she'll have better luck than me
Works so hard like he's still in school
His pockets are jammed, but this man's a fool.

Within the rhythm of life
My mind's made up
Lucy's sign is a Chinese dragon
Oh, oh-oh, she's got luck
The rhythm of life is a force of habit
Yeah-yeah, oh, the rhythm of life
Rhythm of life.

Oh, when out of sight is out of mind
Shut your mouth, I'm doing fine
Mama's goin' back in time.

Instrumental

Within the rhythm of life
(Life goes on)
It's goin' on and on, hey yeah
(The rhythm of life goes on).

Neil Diamond - Song Sung Blue (1972)

2009-09-05T15:31:00.006+02:00

Este tema con cierto aire en su sonido al género country-western se mantuvo nada menos que durante siete semanas como número uno, siendo el segundo gran hit de Neil. El propio artista nunca esperó la buena acogida que tuvo la canción, que destaca por su sencillez (ni siquiera le escribió un puente) y por decir muchas cosas con muy pocas palabras.

Letra

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one.

Michael Bolton - Missing You (1991)

2009-09-05T11:20:00.006+02:00

Michael Bolotin logró gran éxito a mediados de los ochenta y a inicios de los 1990s. Se destaca por su potente voz aprovechada para convertirse en uno de los exponentes más populares del soft-rock y la balada romántica estadounidense de ésa época. Sus logros incluyen la venta de 53 millones de álbumes, ocho álbumes en Top Ten, dos sencillos en número uno de las listas de Billboard y diversos premios Grammy.

Letra

I talk to you but its not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong
CHORUS:
Baby 'cause I'm missing you now
And its drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you baby
I'm missing you now
Can't wait till I'm alone with you
To show you how I'm missing you now
Wishin' you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
holdin' you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could
I know
I can't take this much longer, its so hard on my soul
CHORUS:
Baby I just can't wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will I be satisfied
I'm missing you now
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong
CHORUS:.

Jarabe De Palo - Agua (1998)

2009-09-05T11:12:00.007+02:00

A Pau Dones el éxito le llegaría tras un viaje a Cuba, donde le llegó la inspiración que le llevaría a escribir La Flaca. El tema se hizo famoso gracias a un spot publicitario, llevando al disco a vender millones de copias en varios países. El propio grupo define su música como "Canciones sencillas, directas, sin mayores pretensiones. Música de medio tiempo y letras con mensaje".

Letra

Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
si por ti daría la vida,
si confundo tu sonrisa
por camelo si me miras.
Razón y piel, difícil mezcla,
agua y sed, serio problema.

Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
si por ti me perdería
si confundo tus caricias
por camelo si me mimas.
Pasión y ley, difícil mezcla,
agua y sed, serio problema...

Cuando uno tiene sed
pero el agua no está cerca,
cuando uno quiere beber
pero el agua no está cerca.

Qué hacer, tú lo sabes,
conservar la distancia,
renunciar a lo natural,
y dejar que el agua corra.

Cómo quieres ser mi amiga
cuando esta carta recibas,
un mensaje hay entre líneas,
cómo quieres ser mi amiga. .

Huey Lewis & The News - Stuck With You (1986)

2009-09-05T10:40:00.005+02:00

Escrito por el guitarrista Chris Hayes y el propio Huey Lewis, fue el segundo número uno de la banda californiana (estuvo tres semanas en lo más alto) después de su gran éxito "The Power of Love" de 1985. Huey ha compaginado su carrera de músico con la de actor, interviniendo en pequeños papeles en numerosas películas.

Letra

Weve had some fun, and yes weve had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, but now we know its much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, its true, (yes its true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, its true, (yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
cause I can see, (I can see) that youre happy to be stuck with me

Weve had our doubts, we never took them seriously
And weve had our ins and outs, but thats the way its supposed to be
We thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
Thought about breaking up, but now we know its much too late
And its no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually, its back to you and me

Yes, its true, (yes its true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, its true, (yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
cause I can see, (I can see) that youre happy to be stuck with me

We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, its true, (yes its true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, its true, (yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
cause I can see, (I can see) that youre happy to be stuck with me
(yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
Im happy to be stuck with you
Happy to be stuck with you..

Wham! - Everything She Wants (1984)

2009-09-05T10:30:00.003+02:00

Según ha confesado el propio George Michael éste es su tema favorito de su etapa en Wham!. Está muy orgulloso de esta canción y de hecho la ha mantenido en el repertorio de sus actuaciones en directo. Como curiosidad deciros que formó parte de un single "doble A" junto a "Last Christmas".

Letra

Work - Somebody told me:
Boy
everything she wants is everything she sees.
I guess I must have loved you
Because I said you were the perfect girl for me.
Baby
and now we're six months older
And everything you want and everything you see
Is out of reach
not good enough.
I don't know what the hell you want from me.

Somebody tell me - won't you tell me -
Why I work so hard for you?
Give you money
work to give you money.

Some people work for a living
some people work for fun

Girl
I just work for you.
They told me marriage was a give and take

Well
you've shown me you can take

you've got some giving to do.

And now you tell me that you're having my baby

I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to.
But one step further and my back will break

If my best isn't good enough

then how can it be good enough for two'
I can't work any harder than I do.
Somebody tell me - won't you tell me - . . .

Oh
why do I do the tings I do? I'd tell you if I knew.
My God
I don't even think that I love you !
Won't you tell me? Give you money
work to give you money.
Work
work
work
work
work
work
work.
Somebody tell me - won't you tell me - . . .
Somebody tell me - won't you tell me - . . .
Somebody tell me - won't you tell me why I do the tings I do? .

Great y los Garbo - Vuelvo a ti (1997)

2009-09-05T10:22:00.004+02:00

Formado por Beatriz González (Greta) como voz solista, y sus hermanas Belén y Sara en los coros. Desde el principio, consiguen una identidad propia en el panorama musical español por cantar en castellano estilos tan americanos como el soul y el funky. Sus voces, pero especialmente la de Greta está considerada como una de las más prodigiosas de la música en España.

Letra

Estoy medio dormida
Tumbada en el sof
Casi sin quererlo
Las historias
Salen a pasear
Tal vez sea la noche
La que me influye ms
No s porqu razn
Me hace ser mucho mas yo
Y si desnudo mi alma del pasado
Se que es aqu
Donde siempre estar
Vuelvo a ti
Otra vez
Aunque pienses
Que estoy loca de atar
Vuelvo a ti
Si hay un espacio
Guardado para mi
Otra vez, de nuevo
Vuelvo a ti.

Tomar lo que quede
Paciencia beber
Despus de las cenizas
Construiremos este amor.

Puede que cueste
Cien das y uno ms
Si necesitas tiempo
Un siglo entero.

Slo hay una cosa
Cosa que deseo:
Atar el futuro
Y empezar a correr.

Vuelvo a ti...

Si hay un espacio
Guardado para mi
Otra vez, de nuevo
Vuelvo a ti
Elijo siempre caminos
Que son mas duros de andar
Soy complicada
Lo s
Esprame
S que al final volver..

Daryl Hall - Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You (1993)

2009-09-04T22:16:00.006+02:00

Otro blanquito más con alma negra que nos ofrece una fusión comercial entre pop, rock e influencias soul más del gusto del público blanco y menos del afroamericano. Vamos, un ejemplo de lo que se ha convenido en llamar Blue Eyed Soul. En este caso versionea un tema compuesto por Sarah Allen, Marvin Gaye y el propio Daryl y que ya fue interpretado en su día por el gran Marvin Gaye.

Letra

(Gaye, Hall, Allen)
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you
When did the blue skies start to
gather clouds
When did understanding start
closing down
One day it seemed right, then
tomorrow it was gone
Oh yeah the lovelight burned down
too far, burned too far
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you
When did you stop missing me
When I was far away from you, oh...
Why do the grey skies still keep
coming on
Any way the wind blows it
feels a little colder now
Was it in this life we had the
perfect day
Lately all the laughter seems so
far away, so far away
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you
Blue skies are hiding now
Leaving my life lost in doubt
There are seasons, high and low
Does it matter - there you go
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you
Blue skies are hiding now
Leaving my life lost in doubt
Yea, I loved you but now you're gone
Does it matter, baby, I've got to know
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you.

Bonnie Tyler - It's A Heartache (1978)

2009-09-04T21:50:00.004+02:00

Gaynor Hopkins es una cantante galesa de música pop y rock. Dueña de una voz muy característica, como ronca o cascada, se la puede considerar equivalente femenino de Rod Stewart y es mayormente famosa por los éxitos "Total Eclipse of the Heart" y este tema que hoy recordamos donde usaba toda la fuerza de su voz ronca, y que la convirtió en una estrella internacional.

Letra

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache

Hits you when it's too late
Hits you when you're down
It's a fool's game

Nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain

Feeling like a clown.

It's a heartache

Nothing but a heartache.
Love him till your arms break

Then he lets you down.
It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you.
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you.

It's a heartache
Nothing but a heartache

Hits you when it's too late
. . .

It ain't r'ight with love to share
. . .

Oh it's a heartache

Nothing but a heartache.
Love him till your arms break

Then he let's you down
It's a fool's game

Standing in the cold rain

Feeling like a clown.

It's a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he let's you down
It's a heartache. . . .

John Lee Hooker - I'm In The Mood (1989)

2009-09-04T17:11:00.022+02:00

Una auténtica leyenda del blues, este guitarrista que llegó a grabar más de cien discos. Su peculiar estilo medio hablado, ese fraseo que no estaba tan atado a los estándares de la mayoría de los cantantes de blues, este estilo informal e incoherente que se fue diluyendo con la aparición de las bandas de blues eléctrico de Chicago pero que Hooker siempre mantuvo. Por este tema junto a Bonnie Raitt obtuvo un grammy.

Letra

(John Lee Hooker / Bernard Bessman)

I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love

I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when night come baby, God know, you're so far away
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

I said yes, my mama told me, to leave that girl alone
But my mama didn't know, God know, girl was puttin' down
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, in the mood for love
.

Suede - She's In Fashion (1999)

2009-09-04T10:00:00.003+02:00

En la última etapa de este grupo británico incorporaron nuevos sonidos y elementos electrónicos, pero la impresión general es que, aún siendo correcto, no llega a su nivel anterior, ni en la música ni en las letras que se hacen más tópicas y convencionales. A pesar de esto, el grupo siguió manteniendo su popularidad gracias a temas como el que hoy recordamos.

Letra

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
And she's the colour of a magazine

[chorus]

And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh
And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh

She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette
And she's the shake of a tambourine
And she's the colour of a magazine

[chorus]

[bridge]

Ah Ah
And if she tells you two is one
Then two is one my love
Ah Ah
And if she tells you you should know
Then you should know my love

She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of the gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette

[outro]

The sunshine will blow my mind
And the wind blows my brain.

Paco de Lucía - Entre dos aguas (1976)

2009-09-03T22:11:00.005+02:00

Francisco Sánchez Gómez está considerado uno de los mejores maestros de la guitarra de todos los tiempos. Aunque la práctica totalidad de su obra se desarrolla en el flamenco, ha grabado algunos trabajos en otros estilos, como la música clásica, la fusión de flamenco con el jazz y otras músicas internacionales. La mejor contribución de Paco de Lucía al flamenco es la de haber conseguido popularizarlo e internacionalizarlo, como con esta famosa rumba.

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street (1978)

2009-09-03T15:51:00.005+02:00

Antes de conocer la fama como solista, este cantautor británico ya contaba con un largo recorrido en distintos grupos (en especial, Stealers Wheel). En 1978 volvió a su faceta de cantautor componiendo su tema más conocido, un gran número uno, en el que sobresale el maravilloso sonido del saxofón de Raphael Ravenscroft.

Letra

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
Its got so many people but its got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door
He's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down
It's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin'
He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shining it's a new mornin'
And you're going, you're going home.

The Knack - My Sharona (1979)

2009-09-03T15:41:00.005+02:00

Este tema fue número uno y es inmediatamente reconocible por su riff de guitarra, escrito por el guitarrista de la banda Berton Averre, mucho antes de que éste se uniera al grupo. Al parecer Doug Fieger conoció a una chica de Los Angeles llamada Sharona (que por aquel entonces tendría 17 años), y se enamoró de ella. Siempre que pensara en ella, pensaría en el riff de Averre. Los dos trabajaron en la estructura y melodía desde ese momento

Letra

Ooh my little pretty one, pretty one.
When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?
Ooh you make my motor run, my motor run.
Gun it comin' off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Come a little closer huh, ah will ya huh.
Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.
Keeping it a mystery gets to me
Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up. Such a dirty mind.
Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

When you gonna give it to me, give it to me.
It is just a matter of time Sharona
Is it just destiny, destiny?
Or is it just a game in my mind, Sharona?
Never gonna stop, give it up.
Such a dirty mind. Always get it up for the touch
of the younger kind. My my my i yi woo. M M M My Sharona...

Status Quo - Whatever You Want (1979)

2009-09-03T15:28:00.005+02:00

Este tema fue uno de las sesenta canciones que este grupo de rock británico fundado por Francis Rossi y Alan Lancaster ha sido capaz de colocar en las listas de éxito británicas (22 de las cuales fueron Top Ten). Desde su creación en 1962 fueron evolucionando hacia un rock más generalista, para muestra este botón.

Letra

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choice
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

You're showing of
You're showing out
You look for trouble
Turn around, give me a shout
I take it all
You squeeze me dry
And now today
You couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home
On the midnight train again
I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choise
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

You're showing of
You're showing out
You look for trouble
Turn around, give me a shout
I take it all
You squeeze me dry
And now today
You couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home
On the midnight train again
I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choise
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

Whatever you want.

The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star (1979)

2009-09-03T15:16:00.005+02:00

Su videoclip es famoso por ser el primer vídeo emitido por la cadena estadounidense MTV el 1 de agosto de 1981. El motivo para la elección parece bastante claro. Tanto la letra de la canción como las imágenes del vídeo, con radios explotando, hacen referencia a una vieja estrella de la radio que ve como sus días de gloria acaban debido a la proliferación del video

Letra

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.).

Lipps Inc - Funky Town (1980)

2009-09-03T15:02:00.002+02:00

Cada verano hay una canción que se convierte en un gran hit y que se identifica con dicha fecha. La canción del verano de 1980 fue sin duda ésta que hoy recordamos, obra del productor/instrumentalista Steven Greenberg y que puso al grupo Lipss Inc en el mapa del mundo. Hizo de puente desde el viejo sonido disco de los setenta hacia la música dance electrónica de la década posterior.

Letra

Gotta make a move to a
Town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy

Well, I talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about, Talk about
Talk about movin

Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on

Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown

Gotta make a move to a
Town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy

Well, I talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about it
Talk about, Talk about
Talk about movin

Gotta move on
Gotta move on
Gotta move on

Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown
Won't you take me to
Funkytown.

Christine McVie - Got A Hold On Me (1984)

2009-09-02T13:33:00.004+02:00

Fue el tema con el que obtuvo mayor éxito fuera del grupo Fleetwood Mac alcanzando el Top Ten en las listas de ventas de Estados Unidos. Después de 14 años grababa su segundo disco en solitario en el que colaboraron Steve Winwood en los teclados y Lindsey Buckingham en el apartado vocal y guitarra.

Letra

Written by Christine McVie and Todd Sharp.

You're liftin' me up
Never let me down
And I smile
Whenever you're around
Ooh and I've got a feeling
It'll work out right
Can't stop thinking about you
Every day and night
Chorus:
Ooh I've got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Yeah I've got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Well, I've been in love
And I've lost
I can count the tears
But I can't count the cost
Oh, I've been down
I've been used
Now I know, I know, I know
That I just can't lose
Chorus .

Britney Spears - Sometimes (1999)

2009-09-01T17:53:00.004+02:00

Tras el éxito de su primer sencillo fue lanzado su segundo single, una típica balada pop que alcanzó el #21 en el Billboard Hot 100 y que hoy recordamos. El video musical de "Sometimes", al igual que el video musical de "...Baby One More Time", fue dirigido por Nigel Dick, y es uno de los grandes responsables de la imagen virginal de Britney Spears en los inicios de su carrera musical.

Letra

You tell me you’re in love with me
like you can’t take your pretty eyes away from me
It’s not that I don’t want to stay
But everytime you come too close I move away
I wanna believe in everything that you say
cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There’s things about me you just have to know.

Sometimes I run
sometimes I hide
Sometimes I’m scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right,
be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time.

I don’t wanna be so shy, ah-ah
Everytime that I'm alone I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
You'll see that, you’re the only one for me
I wanna believe in everything that you say
Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There’s things about me, you just have to know.

Sometimes I run (sometimes) sometimes I hide
Sometimes I’m scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
All I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time.

Just hang around and you’ll see
There’s nowhere I'd rather be
If you love me, trust in me
The way that I trust in you.

ah ah ah

Sometimes I run (sometimes) sometimes I hide
Sometimes I’m scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight (hold you tight)
Treat you right, be with you day and night (day and night)
Sometimes I run (sometimes)sometimes I hide
Sometimes I’m scared of you uh uh ah ah
But all I really want is to hold you tight treat you right,
Be with you day and night (day and night)
All I really want is to hold you tight
Be with you day and night
Sometimes I run (sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight,treat you right,
Be with you day and night

Nikka Costa - On my Own (1981)

2009-08-31T13:16:00.006+02:00

Hija del famoso director de orquesta y productor musical Don Costa debutó en la música en la niñez, con el apoyo de sus padres. Grabó varios álbumes que se convirtieron en éxito, con canciones como esta balada. Frank Sinatra fue como un abuelo adicional para ella, pues era un viejo amigo de su padre, quien le produjo algunos de sus discos. Actualmente sigue cantando pero en géneros como el soul, el funk o el blues.

Letra

Sometimes I wonders where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in
Make belivin' is hard alone
Out here on my own
We're always provin' who we are
Always reachin' for that risin' star
To guide me far and shine me home,
Out here on my own.
When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me,
Baby, belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.
Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears,
I dry the tears I've never shown
Out here on my own.
When I'm down and feelin' blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh baby, be strong for me,
Baby, belong to me
Help me through, help me need you.
Sometimes I wonder where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in.
I may not win but I can be strong,
Out here on my own, on my own. .

Soft Cell - Tainted Love (1981)

2009-08-31T13:05:00.006+02:00

No es posible hablar del sonido techno-pop de los años ochenta y no hacer referencia a este tema que es la quintaesencia de ese género musical. Este dúo estaba formado por: Marc Almond (vocales) y Dave Ball (sintetizadores), los llevó a la fama mundial y les ha permitido ocupar para siempre un lugar en la historia de la música.

Letra

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

(chorus...)

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3).

Double - The Captain Of Her Heart (1985)

2009-08-31T12:56:00.007+02:00

El gran éxito de este grupo suizo fue el single extraído del álbum Blue. Esta balada, donde destaca la línea del piano, trata sobre una mujer que espera en vano la vuelta de su amado. Alcanzó el número 8 en las listas inglesas y el puesto 16 en la lista Billboard. Sería versioneada posteriormente por Randy Crawford y Laurent Voulzy.

Letra

It was way past midnight
and she still couldn't fall asleep.
This night the dream was leaving
she tried so hard to keep.
And with the new day's morning
she felt it drift away.
Not only for a cruise, not only for a day.
Too long ago, too long apart
she could not wait another day for
the captain of her heart.
As the day came up, she made a stop.
She stopped waiting another day for
the captain of her heart.
Too long ago, too long apart
she could not wait another day for
the captain of her heart.
Too long ago, too long apart
she could not wait another day for
the captain of her heart.
As the day came up, she made a stop.
She stopped waiting another day for
the captain of her heart.
Too long ago, too long apart
she could not wait another day for
the captain of her heart. .

JJ Cale - Cocaine (1976)

2009-08-31T12:48:00.008+02:00

Cocaine es una canción compuesta por J.J. Cale, e interpretada por Eric Clapton un año después de que la compusiera. Es una canción que está en contra de las drogas, y no a favor, como mucha gente piensa. Tras varios años, Clapton decidió añadir a la letra de la canción la frase: 'that dirty cocaine' (cocaína sucia) en sus actuaciones en directo para destacar el mensaje de la canción en contra de las drogas.

Letra

If you want to hang out, youve got to take her out, cocaine
If you want to get down, get down on the ground, cocaine
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie, cocaine
If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done and you got to run, cocaine
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie, cocaine
If your thing is gone and you want to ride on, cocaine
Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back, cocaine
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie, cocaine.

Icehouse - Hey Little Girl (1982)

2009-08-30T10:13:00.004+02:00

Icehouse es un grupo australiano de New Wave nacido, liderado por el legendario Iva Davies. Icehouse es uno de los grupos más reconocidos en Australia no sólo por sus canciones muy bien elaboradas, sino por ser un emblema para la juventud por sus letras que describían en muchos casos el momento por el que pasaba Australia.

Letra

hey hey
when everything goes wrong
sometimes it makes no sense
hey hey
there once was a time
I should have known better then
hey hey
although you may try
it won't come your way again
hey little girl
where will you hide
who can you run to now
hey little girl
where will you go
who can you turn to now
hey hey
so why should I care
if somebody let you down
hey hey
that's nothing new
I know just what that can mean
hey hey
well the way that they talk
the talk is all over town
hey hey
and it's no surprise
little girls hurt sometimes
hey little girl
where will you hide
who can you run to now
hey little girl
where will you go
who can you turn to now
hey hey
when everything goes wrong
sometimes it makes no sense
hey hey
hey little girl
I should have known better
known better then
hey hey
hey little girl
where will you hide
who can you run to now
hey little girl
where will you hide
who can you run to now
hey little girl
where will you go
who can you turn to now.

Celine Dion - When I Fall In Love (1993)

2009-08-30T10:03:00.007+02:00

Surge como una estrella adolescente en el mundo de habla francesa luego que su mánager y esposo René Angélil, hipotecara su casa para financiar su primer álbum. Hoy esta artista canadiense ha vendido más de 200 millones de discos en todo el mundo. Una voz hábil y poderosa y un sonido ecléctico (rock, pop, rnb o jazz) se encuentran detrás de tanto éxito. Este tema lo interpreta junto a Clive Griffin.

Letra

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many
Moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
I give it completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

Dionne Warwick - Heartbreaker (1982)

2009-08-30T09:48:00.004+02:00

Este tema pop/soul posee aquel sonido característico de sus compositores: Maurice y Robin Gibb, es decir los Bee Gees, grandes dominadores de la escena musical en aquel tiempo.Los propios hermanos grabarían posteriormente su propia versión del mayor éxito de los ochenta de esta gran vocalista de New Jersey.

Letra

I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin'
Like I thought I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around
And I

Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin' you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world
For a love everlasting
Feeling no pain
When will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by
This world may end
Not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you
And that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me

Out of my mind
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by

Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, oh

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by.

Dina Carroll - Ain't No Man (1992)

2009-08-29T19:20:00.007+02:00

Con ascendencia afroamericana -evidentes en la tonalidad soul de su voz- esta británica firmó una de las canciones pop que más me gustaron de la década de los noventa. La habré oído cientos de veces y la conexión que tengo con este tema es total.

Letra

I just can't control
How I feel about you
And I'm so surprised
With the way I act
When you're around
I know they never see
All the things that I see
They don't understand
Just what it is
That we have found

Well I don't care what they say
I've made up my mind anyway
'Cos you've got the love that I need
And I wouldn't change it for anything

There ain't no man
Makes me feel like you do
There ain't no man
Ain't no doubt
There ain't no man
Makes me feel like you do
There ain't no man
That I've ever found

I simply love the times
That we spend together
And I love the things
That you say to me
When we're alone
There isn't any doubt
In the way I'm feeling
And I hope the way
That I'm feeling now
Will never go

Well I don't care what they say
I've made up my mind anyway
'Cos you've got the love that I need
And I wouldn't change it for anything

There ain't no man
Makes me feel like you do
There ain't no man
Ain't no doubt
There ain't no man
Makes me feel like you do
There ain't no man
That I've ever found.

Human League - Don't You Want Me (1982)

2009-08-29T19:13:00.003+02:00

The Human League grabó su más exitoso álbum, Dare. Impulsado por sus pegajosos singles "Open Your Heart", "Love Action/Hard Times" y el más famoso "Don't You Want Me" que alcanzó el Nº1 a ambos lados del Atlántico. Un logro excepcional en Estados Unidos ya que en aquel momento América despertaba de un letargo debido al largo reinado del sonido "Disco", por lo que esta nueva vertiente Techno no tenía mucha aceptación.

Letra

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too

Don’t, don’t you want me?
You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me
Don’t, don’t you want me?
You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh
Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I lived my life on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do

Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh
Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh

Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh
Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh

Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh
Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh

Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh
Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh

Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh
Don’t you want me baby? don’t you want me - oh.

La Bionda - One For You, One For Me (1978)

2009-08-29T09:19:00.006+02:00

Fueron unos hermanos italianos considerados precursores de lo que fue llamado la Italo Disco o Euro Disco. Ya sé que poner a La Bionda puede parecer una provocación pero no lo hago con esa intención ni quiero invocar al maligno ni nada, forma parte de la banda sonora de mi vida, lo quiera o no. Pero bueno, no sé para qué doy tantas explicaciones, al que no le guste que no mire, jejeje. One for you, one for me...

Letra

One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me,
One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me.

One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me.
One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me.

Please don’t go away, I’m ready and I’m able
Please don’t go away (Don’t go!) ’till morning comes around.
Please don’t go away while wine is on the table
Please don’t go away (Don’t go!) just lay your body down.

Now I don’t know what I would do if you got up to leave,
My jealous heart beats deep inside and not here on my sleeve.
‘Cause I could show a girl like you such loving and affection,
I don’t want to make no speech this here ain’t no election.

Please don’t go away, Honey, change your mind and stay!
Hot love’s on the way, Honey, let me hear you say - yeah, yeah, yeah!

One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me.
One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me,
One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me.
One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me..

Miembros diferentes en momentos diferentes, siempre un estilo y un tono de su música distinto a todo lo demás.

Letra

Phil Collins - Two Hearts (1988)

2009-08-29T08:59:00.005+02:00

Cuando los Collins le regalaron por Navidad una batería de juguete nunca pensaron que en él nacería un interés tan importante por la música. Phil tenía por entonces cinco años. Artista completo también le gustó la interpretación, de hecho su capacidad como actor se puso de nuevo de manifiesto con su interpretación del papel principal de la película "Buster, el robo del siglo" con la que ganó un premio Grammy por la canción "Two Hearts".

Letra

Well, there was no reason to believe she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you, just to remind you

Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind

Cos there's no easy way to, to understand it
There's so much of my life in her, and it's like I'm blinded
And it teaches you to never let go
There's so much love you'll never know
She can reach you no matter how far
Wherever you are

Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time

She knows (she knows)
There'll always be a special place in my heart for her
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (she knows)
No matter how far apart we are
She knows, I'm always right there beside her

We're two hearts...

Cher - The Shoop Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) (1991)

2009-08-29T08:49:00.003+02:00

Esta versión del tema de la década de los sesenta interpretada originalmente por Betty Everett fue incluida en la banda sonora de la película Mermaids. El mediocre desempeño de la película no contribuyó en el lanzamiento inicial del single en Estados Unidos, pero si obtuvo un éxito inesperado en el resto del mundo.

Letra

Does he love me? I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so?

[Is it in his eyes?]
Oh, no you'll be decieved
[Is it in his eyes?]
Oh, no he'll make believe
If you want to know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is, oh yeah]

[Or is it in his face?]
Oh no, it's just his charms
[In his warm embrace?]
Oh no, that's just his arms
If you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]
Oh, it's in his kiss
[That's where it is]

Whoa, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there, in his kiss

[How about the way he acts?]
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
And if you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]
Oh oh oh, it's in his kiss
[That's where it is]

Whoa, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

[How about the way he acts?]
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you wanna know
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
If he loves you so
[Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop]
It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]

Oh, It's in his kiss
[That's where it is]
Oh, yeah it's in his kiss
[It's in hiss kiss]
[That's where it is]
Ooh, it's in his kiss
[It's in hiss kiss]
That's where it is

It's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Ooh, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Ooh, oh it's in his kiss
Oh, oh, it's in the kiss
(That's where it is).

Paul McCartney - Goodnight Tonight (1979)

2009-08-29T08:31:00.005+02:00

Este tema supuso una inflexión del grupo hacia la música disco, en el que siempre se recordará la línea de bajo y ese riff de guitarra flamenca del comienzo. La canción no fue sin embargo incluída en su día en la edición del disco Back To The Egg, era una pieza de acompañamiento instrumental que Paul había grabado el año anterior.

Letra

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo.
Oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.

Don't get too tired for love,
Don't let it end.
Don't say goodnight to love,
It may never be the same again.

Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.

Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.

Don't get too cold for love,
Don't pass it by. (oo -)
Don't grow too old for love,
It's a feeling that may never die.

Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
You can say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.

It's a feeling that may never end, oo -
(don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, don't say goodnight tonight)

Don't say it, don't say it,
Say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.

Say anything, don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
You could say anything but don't say goodnight tonight.
Don't say it, don't say it,
Don't say goodnight tonight.

Richard Marx - Angelia (1989)

2009-08-28T22:30:00.005+02:00

Richard Noel Marx es un músico completo (cantante, compositor y productor) que obtuvo gran respaldo del público alternando música rock americana sobre todo con baladas como ésta. Con su segundo álbum prosiguió con el gran éxito de su primera entrega: el álbum fue número uno, dos singles número uno, 5 millones de copias vendidas... "Angelia" "sólo" fué número 4, pero completaba una serie de siete singles consecutivos Top 10, algo que nadie habia logrado hasta entonces.

Letra

Memories of you and me
Tumble inside my head
The way that we used to be
Things that we said
No one has ever made me believe so strong
You left me to wonder
How did our love go wrong

Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around

I lie awake at night
Wait for the sun to shine
I still feel you next to me
Your lips on mine
Without a warning
You made our love a lie
You said you were sorry
But you never told me why

Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around

Maybe my love is in vain
Maybe you're the hurting kind
Can't take no more of this pain
I've got to get you off my mind

Tried to be what you wanted
I gave you all I had
You left me with nothin'
Nothin' but a photograph

Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around
Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around
.

Visage - Fade To Grey (1980)

2009-08-28T22:00:00.006+02:00

Visage fue un proyecto musical representativo dentro del estilo "New Romantic" formado por Steve Strange junto a Rusty Egan y Midge Ure. Su primera producción discográfica, que resultó ser todo un éxito en ventas y en críticas gracias a una excelente composición y arreglos musicales, se transformó rápidamente en una especie de banda sonora de ese género musical.

Letra

Devenir gris
Devenir gris

One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

Devenir gris

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Devenir gris

Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey.

China Crisis - Wishful Thinking (1983)

2009-08-28T21:52:00.005+02:00

Dúo inglés formado por Gary Daly (teclados, vocales) y Eddie Lundon (guitarra). Su sonido era pop al estilo New Wave , pero con distintas influencias (Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, David Bowie o Brian Eno) y que destacaban por la suavidad de su sonido y por algunas letras de contenido social y político.

Letra

It´s time we should talk about it
There´s no secret kept in here
Forgive me for asking
Now wipe away your tears

And if i wish to stop it all
And if i wish to comfort the fall
It´s just wishful thinking

I sat on the roof
And watched the day go by
I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands
Makes it all worthwhile

And if i wish to stop it all
And if i wish to comfort the fall
It´s just wishful thinking.

Diana Krall - The Look Of Love (2001)

2009-08-28T19:20:00.006+02:00

Diana Jean Krall es una pianista y cantante de jazz canadiense nacida en el seno de una familia de músicos. Con Claus Ogerman al frente de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres, fue disco de platino y consiguió dos premios Grammy. Algo alejado del jazz y de su estilo propio, con un enfoque más bien comercial.

Letra

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

You've got the
Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go.

Vargas Blues Band - Blues Latino (1994)

2009-08-28T18:46:00.006+02:00

Honestidad + Trabajo + Pasión por la música = Javier Vargas. Esta sencilla suma es con la que su compañía define la labor de este guitarrista de blues, el más grande que ha dado este país, y la verdad es que han dado en el clavo. Su carrera no ha sido nunca explosiva, siempre ha estado al margen de modas y lo suyo ha sido una especie de maratón en el que los que poseen más resistencia y ponen más tesón llegan a la meta.

Robbie Williams - Better Man (2000)

2009-08-28T18:38:00.008+02:00

Tras su exitoso paso con el grupo Take That se forjó una carrera en solitario. Sing When You're Winning es el nombre del tercer álbum de estudio (el cuarto en general) del cantante británico. Incluye canciones como "Rock DJ" (canción en cuyo videoclip fue censurado por Top of the Pops debido a su contenido expícito), el dueto con Kylie Minogue "Kids" y este "Better Man".

Letra

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Go easy on my conscience
'Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Once you've found that lover
You're homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around

I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But Love is all around

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doin' all I can
To be a better man.

Franco Battiato - Centro di Gravità Permanente (1985)

2009-08-28T18:31:00.005+02:00

Personalidad entre las más eclécticas y originales de cuantas han aparecido en el panorama cultural italiano de las últimas décadas, ha pasado por múltiples estilos musicales: los inicios románticos, el progressive pop, la música culta o la música étnica, consiguiendo siempre un gran éxito de público y trabajando con colaboradores excepcionales.

Letra

Una vecchia bretone
con un cappello e un ombrello di carta di riso e canna di bambù.
Capitani coraggiosi
furbi contrabbandieri macedoni.
Gesuiti euclidei
vestiti come dei bonzi per entrare a corte degli imperatori
della dinastia dei Ming.

Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
avrei bisogno di...
Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
over and over again

Per le strade di Pechino erano giorni di maggio
tra noi si scherzava a raccogliere ortiche.
Non sopporto i cori russi
la musica finto rock la new wave italiana il free jazz punk inglese.
Neanche la nera africana.

Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
avrei bisogno di...
Cerco un centro di gravità permanente
che non mi faccia mai cambiare idea sulle cose sulla gente
over and over again...

You are a woman in love baby come into my life
baby i need your love
I want your love
over and over again
.

Norah Jones - Don't Know Why (2002)

2009-08-28T18:23:00.004+02:00

Una cantante y pianista estadounidense cuya música combina elementos de jazz, soul y country. Con este su primer disco y de la mano del productor Arif Mardin vendió 20 millones de discos y numerosos premios Grammy. La propuesta de Norah no podía ser más tentadora: una voz joven y sugerente, plena de cálida sensualidad, cantando casi como si desvelara algún íntimo secreto.

Letra

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come .

Joss Stone - Super Duper Love (2003)

Betty Wright ayudó a Joss a crear este disco que fue todo un éxito mundial. También colaboraron en la parte de la producción Angie Stone y el grupo The Roots. A pesar de su juventud, se decidió por un estilo muy adulto que se puede situar en la línea del neo soul con un sonido que recuerda a los años setenta. En aquellos momentos era conocida por sus presentaciones en las que actuaba descalza y con un estilo de vestir neo-hippie.

Madonna - Like A Virgin

2009-08-28T13:16:00.003+02:00

Tras los prometedores resultados de su álbum debut, Madonna recibió de su discográfica Sire Records el apoyo para la grabación de un álbum mucho más completo. Ya no sería una cantante a medio camino entre el dance y punk, sino una figura de género pop, destinada a un público general y apoyada por el marketing de una multinacional. La producción del álbum se encomendó a Nile Rodgers, miembro del conocido grupo Chic.

Letra

I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Chorus:

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats (after first time, "With your heartbeat")
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

(chorus)

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

(chorus)

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?.

Letra

Laying in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
But now youre leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now youre leaving
In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Oh its killing me so much
Only when tou leave
Ill need to love you
And when the action has all gone
Im just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, youll leave in danger
Oh Ill make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I only want to make this things last
So how could this have gone so fast
And now youre leaving
How many times must I learn
It s only when youve gone that I burn
And now youre leaving
In the end, all that I left has come unbearable
Its hard to change your mind,
So leave it all behind
Only when you leave
Ill need to love you
And when the action has all gone
Im just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough to long
Only when you leave,youll leave in danger
Oh Ill make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away.

Letra

Hey!, if we can solve any problem

Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see

I can feel yor body move
It doesn't mean that much to me
I can't go on sayin' the same thing

Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we
know

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, cancha see, we've got everything goin' on and
on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you.

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
I say hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?

Well, I'm goin' to see my woman
You know I heard she messed around with some other man
I heard she did
You know, I'm going downtown, I'm gonna buy me a blue steel 44

You know, I'm going downtown, I'm gonna buy me a blue steel 44
I'm gonna catch up with that girl
She won't be messin' around on me no more

Well, I say hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey, hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I'm gonna shoot my woman
I found her messin' 'round with some other man

Hey Joe, I heard you shot your lady down
Hey Joe, you know I heard you shot your lady down

Yes, I did
'Cause I caught her messin' round, messin' round, messin' round town

Alright

I said hey Joe, you better lay low and get out of town
I said hey Joe, where you're gonna run to now?
He said, I'm going downtown and I'm gonna get me a passport, see? (Ah, si!)
Oh, I'm goin' way down south, way down to Mexico way

And there ain't no hang-man gonna put no ropes around me, aha
Just 'cause I shot her
Just 'cause I shot her down

Alright

Well, I'm going down south, way down to Mexico way
I'm going down south where a man can be free

A pesar del reconocimiento internacional se retiró de la industria en 1998, las muertes de personas cercanas a ella era la razón para no sentirse a gusto cantando. Accedió a unirse a un nuevo Matt Bianco en el año 2004.

Letra

i was dreaming when i jumped the lights
busy scaling dizzy heights
hummed a somewhat strangely familiar tune
my eyes as wide as open books
and from my ears upon two hooks
a big smile was hanging there like a crescent moon

it sometimes comes as quite a shock
when the gods of love decide to knock
you're in a state of disarray
just when you least expect it--you'll never know a better day

day dreaming fever taking over
no misdemeanour--stone cold sober

the officer who stopped me said: "lucky you didn't wind up dead!"
and he guessed that I was over and above
i hoped he'd only caution me, and i made a plea for clemency
on the grounds that i was only drunk on love

day dreaming fever taking over
no misdemeanour--stone cold sober

it sometimes comes as quite a shock
when the gods of love decide to knock
you're in a state of disarray.

Una banda pop new romantic británico de los años ochenta capitaneada por Boy George quien se identificaba por su estética glam y transgresora.Fue un grupo que triunfó en los años ochenta con temas sensuales y creativos.

Letra

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
Im a man without conviction
Im a man who doesnt know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didnt hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go youre gone forever
You string along
You string along

Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival
Every day is like a survival
Youre my lover not my rival

Im a man without conviction
Im a man who doesnt know
How to sell a contradication
You come and go
You come and go.

Letra

Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've found my way

Chorus:
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your
knees at night
And pray to the Lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen

I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up
But you must be strong
Baby just hold on
You'll never find the answers
if you throw your life away
I used to feel the way you do
Still I have to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've finally found my way

Chorus

I once was lost
But now I'm found
I got my feet on solid ground
Thank you Lord
If you believe within your soul
Just hold on tight
And don't let go
You can make it
Make it happen

Chorus .
