Sinead O’Connor - Nothing compares to you

Hoy vamos a recordar a la irlandesa Sinead O’Connor y su tema más conocido, “Nothing compares to you“.

Chica revelde y controvertida, para que os hagáis una idea tuvo los santos bemoles de romper una foto del Papa Juan Pablo II en una actuación en el programa Saturday Night Live Show americano, que como os podeis imaginar, se miran muchas personas, y como también os podreis imaginar, hubo reacciones para todos los gustos.

El 11 de junio viene a Barcelona al festival “Únicas” con su nuevo álbum “Theology” bajo el brazo.

“It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n’guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you’ll do
But he’s a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you”

Los Piratas - Fecha caducada

Me encanta este tema de Los Piratas, se llama “Fecha caducada” y está incluido en su disco “Manual para los fieles” de 2002. Me encanta también el grupo en sí, han hecho cosas muy interesantes, sobretodo su disco en directo de despedida “Fin de la segunda parte“, magistral.

“Y los demonios de la noche bajaron
y nos rompieron los oidos
gritando lo que tu nunca quieres oir
creo que explotó la habitación
y se quedó tan fría la cama que tu no parabas de llorar.
no me importaría morirme ahora,porque no me queda nada, solo me quedas tu..tu y esta cama oxidada.
creo que no llegare a mañana…

Ya verás sigue asi perfetamente puesta que siempre está invitada con fecha caducada ya verás sigue así con fecha caducada que todo asi compensará

Y los demonios de la noche bajaron y nos gritaron al oido:
quitar!poner!
encender la luz para ver las sombras
que todo se nos va de las manos sin querer
seguir gritándonos a la cara como 2 hermanas:
luchar!perder!hablar!llegar a nada..
que pronto quemaremos la cama nuestro hogar. “

Culture Club - Karma Chameleon

De aspecto un poco “peculiar”, Culture Club, liderado por el cantante Boy George, lograron alcanzar la fama en los 80 gracias a temas como este “Karma Chameleon” o “Do you really want to hurt me“.

Así como otros muchos grupos, Culture Club ha sido una banda salpicada por la droga. A mediados de los 80 Boy George confesó estar enganchado a la heroína, pasado un tiempo, el teclista apareció muerto de sobredosis, provocando su disolución definitiva. Aún así Boy George ha seguido haciendo cosas, pero siempre perseguido por su adicción.

“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“

Siniestro Total - Bailaré sobre tu tumba

Hoy toca un tema de la movida española de los 80, “Bailaré sobre tu tumba” de la banda punk-rock gallega Siniestro Total.

Cuenta la leyenda que este tema surge de la película “Cotton Club” donde dos hermanos que se dedican al claqué hablan sobre un personaje que les ha amenazado: “Tú solo no puedes matarle…, pero puedes bailar sobre su tumba. Lo mataré con mis zapatos de claqué”, y de ahí sale la canción…

“Te mataré con mis zapatos de claqué
Te axfisiaré con mi malla de ballet
Te ahorcaré con mi smoking
Y morirás mientras se ríe el disc-jokey
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Te degollaré con un disco afilado
de los Rolling Stones o de los Shadows
Te tragarás la colección de cassettes
de las Shangri-las o las Ronettes
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Te clavaré mi guitarra
Te aplastaré con mi piano
Te desollaré con mis platillos
Te trepanaré con mi órgano Hammond
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Y bailaré sobre tu tumba
Bailaré Sobre Tu Tumba“

Bryan Adams - Summer of 69

Viene el veranito, playa, sol, amigos, amor y sobretodo música! de todo eso es de lo que va este pedazo de tema del canadiense Bryan Adams, el verano del 69, “Those were the best days of my life“, los mejores días de su vida.

Un artista con un repertorio amplísimo que lleva desde 1980 a un nivel altísimo, sus 17 álbums hasta la fecha le avalan.

Ahí va un directo lleno de energía de “Summer of 69″:

“I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played ’til my fingers bled
It was summer of ‘69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we’d never get far

Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin’s down at the drive in
And that’s when I met you

Standin on a mama’s porch
You told me that you’d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in Summer of ‘69

Man we were killin’ time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin’ can last forever, no

And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin’ on a mama’s porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in summer of ‘69“

Cornershop - Brimful of asha

Ahí va un tema molón para el fin de semana, “Brimful of asha” de los Cornershop, una banda indie británica formada en 1992. Quizás te suene esta canción mucho más en la versión remix que hicieron los Fatboy Slim en 1997.

He podido rescatar un directo de la canción de youtube:

“There’s dancing
Behind movie scenes
Behind the movie scenes
Sadi Rani
She’s the one that keeps the dream alive
from the morning
past the evening
to the end of the light
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it’s a brimful of Asha on the 45
And dancing
Behind movie scenes
Behind those movie scenes
Asha Bhosle
She’s the one that keeps the dream alive
from the morning
past the evening
to the end of the light
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it’s a brimful of Asha on the 45
And singing
illuminate thee main streets
And the cinema aisles
We don’t care bout no
Gov’t warnings,
’bout their promotion of a simple life
And the dams they’re building
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it’s a brimful of Asha on the 45
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Mine’s on the 45
Mohamed Rufhi-45
Lata Mangeshkar-45
Solid state radio-45
Fer-guh-son mono-45

Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a hero

Bonnie Tyler, nacida en Gales, es una cantante surgida en los 70 que tiene tras de sí una larga carrera. El tema “Total eclipse from the heart“, incluido en su disco “Faster Than the Speed of Night” de 1982, fue una auténtica revolución musical alcanzando el número de 1 de todas las listas.

Aún así, el tema que aquí os dejo es “Holding Out for a Hero“, si habeis visto la película “Shrek 2” seguro que os suena de algo.

“Where have all good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there’s someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life “

Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome

Quizás conocidos únicamente por este tema, Seven Mary Three o 7M3 es una banda estadounidense (Virginia) de rock alternativo. “Cumbersome” hizo que el grupo alcanzara el millón de copias vendidas del álbum “American Standard“.

“She calls me goliath and I wear the david mask
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
You know Id like to believe this nervousness will pass
All the stones that are thrown are building up a wall
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

Id like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face cant seem to break her down
She remembers bridges, burns them to the ground
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to this girl

Too heavy too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome
Too rich too poor, shes wanting me less and Im wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome

There is a balance between two worlds
One with an arrow and a cross
Regardless of the balance life has become
Cumbersome“

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart

Por petición popular el próximo tema es “Love will tear us apart“, de lo que fue el embrión de New Order, la banda Joy Division. La historia es dramática, como ya mencioné en otro post su vocalista se suicidó en 1980 a la edad de 23 años, toda una pena, aún así, dos meses más tarde del trágico suceso formaron otra banda llamada New Order, grupo de referencia.

A Joy Division se les ha tachado siempre de banda pesimista y depresiva por su música, sus letras y el suicidio, algo que todos los integrantes siempre han negado.

“When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won’t grow
And we’re changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there’s still this appeal
That we’ve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can’t function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again “

Burt Bacharach - Close to you

Empezamos la semana con una versión de Burt Bacharach interpretada por la cantante holandesa Trijntje Oosterhuis. Juntos grabaron en 2006 el disco de jazz “The Look Of Love (Burt Bacharach Songbook)“.

“Why do birds suddenly apear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you. “
