Brothers in Arms - Joan Baez

Un ángel cantando Brothers in Arms


These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Starless - King Crimson

Disfrútenlo



Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes turned within
Only see
Starless and bible black

Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that oh years to be
Starless and bible black

Old friend charity
Cruel twisted smile
And the smile signals emptiness
For me
Starless and bible black

Listen to the Music - The Doobie Brothers


Don't you feel it growin', 
Day by day

Gettin' ready for the news

All the time
God, we gotta let the music play!

Last Train To Clarksville 1966 - The Monkees


Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by four-thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

'Cause I'm leaving in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
Till the morning brings my train and I must go
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
Take the last train to Clarksville
I'll be waiting at the station
We'll have time for coffee-flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can't hear you in this noisy railroad station all alone
I'm feeling low
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
Oh
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be here by four-thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

And I don't know if I'm ever coming home
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville

King Crimson

¡Hola! Adjunto enlace de la sección de música de El País, sobre el maravilloso concierto que dieron King Crimson en Madrid el pasado lunes, en el cuál estuve. 

Coincido totalmente con la crítica: ¡apabullante! Repertorio clásico de los primeros discos, interpretación magistral, sorpresa de la calidad del nuevo cantante/guitarrista y espectacular los tres baterías. 
Me decía un amigo músico que salías con la sensación de haber visto algo grande...¡como haber visto a Beethoven!

Suzanne










Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
Then he gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And you think you maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with her mind

Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they wil lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds her mirror

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

Walking on the Moon - The Police



Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

You Can't Hurry Love - The Supremes



I need love, love to ease my mind,
I need to find, find someone to call mine,
But mama said you can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
It's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love,
No, you just have to wait,
You gotta trust, give it time,
No matter how long it takes;
But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on,
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone,
I remember mama said,

You can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
It's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait how much more can I take,
Before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
No, I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own,
But when I feel that I, I can't go on,
These precious words keeps me hanging on,
I remember mama said,

Can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
it's a game of give and take.

You can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
It's a game of give and take
No matter how long it takes.

No love, love don't come easy,
But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
Soft voice to talk to me at night,
For some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting; I keep on waiting,
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy when mama said

You can't hurry love no,
You just have to wait,
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes.

You can't hurry love
You just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take.

Forever Young - Alphaville


Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us stay young or let us live forever
we don't have the power, but we never say never
sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
the music's for the sadman
Can you imagine when this race is won
turn out all the faces into the sun
praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
the music's played by the madman
Forever young
i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
forever, you'll never
forever young,
I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
forever young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
i don't want to perish like a fading horse
years like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever
So many advantages given up today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams swinging out of the blue
oh let it come true

Ordinary World - Duran Duran



Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue,
thought i heard you talking softly.
i turned on the lights, the tv and the radio
still i can't escape the ghost of you.
What is happening to it all?
crazy some say-
where is the life that i recognise?
gone away.
But i won't cry for yesterday.
there's an ordinary world somehow i have to find.
and as i try to make my way to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive.
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say-
pride will tear us both apart.
well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, runaway.
left me in the vacuum of my heart.
What is happening to me?
crazy some say.
where is my friend when i need you most?
gone away.
But i won't cry for yesterday.
there's an ordinary world somehow i have to find.
and as i try to make my way to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive.
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed,
feared today; forgot tomorrow.
here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
ours is just a little sorrowed talk-
blown away.
Just blowing away.
And i don't cry for yesterday.
there's an ordinary world somehow i have to find.
and as i try to make my way to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive.
Every world is my world
(i will learn to survive)
any world is my world
(i will learn to survive)
any world is my world
every world is my world

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads


I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, away oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run run run run run run run away oh oh oh
Psycho Killer

Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir

We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer

Run run run run run run run away oh oh oh
Psycho Killer

School - Supertramp

¿El mejor tema de Supertramp?


I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks
- he's coming along!

After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out
- and you're full of doubt

Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?- Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticize, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to 
Come out and put your eyes

Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
- you're coming along!

Girls and Boys - Blur


Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances
Looking for

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Avoiding all work
'cuz there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts
On one two three four
Five fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven't been
Introduced

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

Heart In A Cage - The Strokes







Well I don´t feel better 
When I´m fucking around 
And I don´t write bitter 
When I´m stuck in the ground 
So don´t teach me a lesson 
Cause I´ve already learned 
Yeah the sun will be shining 
And my children will burn 

Oh my heart beats in its cage 

I don´t want what you want 
I don´t feel what you feel 
See I´m stuck in a city 
But I belong in a field 

And we gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, 
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh 

Now it´s three in the morning 
and you´re eating alone 

Oh my heart beats in its cage 

All our friends, they´re laughing at us 
All of those you loved you mistrust 
Help me I´m just not quite myself 
Look around there´s no one else there 
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd 
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around 

Oh you gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, 
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh 

I´m sorry you were faking; I would steal your fire. 
My heart beats in its cage 
Yes the heart beats in its cage 
Alright 

And the heart beats in its cage

Livin' Thing - Electric Light Orchestra


Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
it's like magic
rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
it's magic
Chorus
and you, and your sweet desire,
you took me, higher and higher
it's a livin' thing,
it's a terrible thing to lose
it's a given thing
what a terrible thing to lose.
Making believe this is what you've conceived
from your worst day,
moving in line when you look back in time
to your first day
Chorus -- repeat
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
floating downstream,
so let her go don't start spoiling the show
it's a bad dream

Birth In Reverse - St. Vincent


Oh, what an ordinary day
Take out the garbage, masturbate
I'm still holding for the laugh
The dogs will bark, so let them bark
The birds will cry, I'll let them cry
Here's my report from the edge

Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm sane
In phenomenal lies
I'm the cause, make a turn
Near the party line
Like a birth in reverse
In America

This too will haunt me through the war
Laugh all you want, but I want more
Cause what I'm swearing, I never sworn before

Like a birth in reverse
What I saw through the blinds
You could say that I'm sane
In phenomenal lies
I'm the cause; make a turn
Near the party line
Like a birth in reverse
In America

Am I Ever Gonna Change - Extreme (Live in Boston [2009])


Increíble directo el de esta gente...Nuno es un figura...
parece que hay tres guitarristas



I'm tired of being me,
And I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day,
Down on my knees I will pray,
For a change in any way
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
If it's any wonder why

Am I ever gonna change
Will I always stay the same
If I say one thing,
Then I do the other
It's the same old song,
That goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change
I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right,
I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight,
Gone on too long

Please tell me if it's true,
Am I too old to start anew,
Cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again,
When I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try,
Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?

Am I ever gonna change
Take it day by day
My will is weak
And my flesh too strong
This peace I seek
Till thy kingdom comes

Take Your Mama - Scissor Sisters


When you grow up
Livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama
Takes a shine to her best son
Something different
All the girls they seem to like you
Cause you're handsome
Like to talk and a whole lot of fun

But now your girl's gone a missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said

[Chorus 1]
Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Do it 
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing oh the best we can
We're gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man

It's a struggle
Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer
Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama
Heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you
That all she'd wanna do is cry

Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just got towed
