Suede - Electricity

“Electricity” de Suede me parece un muy buen tema para dejar el fin de semana, aunque para sus fans no sea el mejor ni mucho menos. Esta banda de Londres hizo muy buenas canciones, y en 2003 decidieron plegar.

La canción se incluía en su disco “Head Music” de 1999:

“We got a love that’s cold as stone
We got a love from our violent homes
We got a love and it got no nameWe kiss our love with lips like pain
We got a lotta electricity
We got a love like AC/DC
We got a love and it got no shame
We kiss our love with lips like pain

Ray Charles - What’d I say

El gran Ray Charles, uno de los grandes del soul que nos dejó en 2004 después de años y años de grandes canciones. Es un ejemplo de superación gracias a la música, ciego desde pequeño a causa de un glaucoma, pero cantante y pianista para siempre. Si queréis saber más sobre su vida os recomiendo la película “Ray”, el film interpretado por Jamie Foxx que narra la carrera del artista, sus líos con las mujeres, su adicción a la heroína, y sobretodo su talento innato para la música.

El video es de un directo del gran tema “What’d I say”, una canción que según cuenta la leyenda compuso sobre la marcha en un concierto:

“Hey mama, don’t you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right now, hey hey, all right

Los Delinqüentes - A la luz del lorenzo

Como viene el fin de semana, bailoteo, un tema guapo guapo para animar al personal como este “A la luz del lorenzo” de Los Delinqüentes, el grupo flamenco-pop-funky graciosete de Jerez de la Frontera. Esta banda tiene una historia dramática ya que perdió a uno de sus componentes (Miguel) en 2004, aun así, siguen en activo.

El video es de un directo que hicieron de este tema en el canal Sol, aquel canal de música del antiguo Vía Digital, y canta Miguel:

“To er mundo va der cuento
de yo me lo pago yo me lo invento
y me parece cosa de carajote
cosa de carajote
y por eso he decidido yo quitarme
las migas der bigote
y a la luz del lorenzo yo desayuno a lo fresco
una tosta con mermelá
son las tres de la tarde y no qiero ni acostarme
canijo tu que quieres, quiero invitarte
yo quiero invitarte a un huevo duro
y a una rodaja que de tomate
tu solo quieres quererme cuando tu quieras
cuando hueles los naranjos y la sangre se te altera
tu solo quieres quererme en primavera
pero yo no soy pinocho que el corazón tiene de madera.

Vino Papa Noel la noche de nochebuena
y me dejo un regalito junto a la candela
y cuando yolo ví enseguida lo abrí
y vi que era una planta de yerbagüena.

Yerbagüena pal puchero
yerbagüena pa la mesa
yerbagüena yo te meriendo
yerbagüena pa la cena
los aires son suspiros quevienen de mi maceta
flor de naranja me traen por esta cuenta“

Ben Harper - Diamons on the inside

Ben Harper es un gran cantautor americano con un estilo bastante ecléctico. Sus canciones suenan a Blues, Folk, Soul, Reaggae, Hip Hop, … etc de todo un poco, se le nota influencias de todas partes. Ha colaborado con muchos artistas y ha sido telonero de grupos muy importantes.

El video corresponde a la versión en directo de “Diamonds on the inside” del disco de 2003 que lleva el mismo nombre:

“I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar
She couldnt spend one day alone
But she couldnt be satisfied
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And shes planning on putting it to use
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
Tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time
What you say and do not mean
Follows you close behind

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Diamonds

Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the givers name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh - diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds“

Led Zeppelin - Rock and roll

Led Zeppelin, una de la bandas más importantes de la historia del rock, con Jimmy Page a la cabeza, considerado uno de los mejores guitarristas de la historia (seguramente debido al éxito del grupo), con solos tan memorables como el de “Stairway to Heaven“, para mí uno de los mejores temas de toda la historia.

El tema que os dejo aquí se llama “Rock and roll” lanzada en 1971, años 70, en los cuales esta banda fue muy importante.

El tema, en directo:

“It’s been a long time since I rock-and-rolled
It’s been a long time since I did the Stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back
mm-baby, where I come from
It’s been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has

It’s been a long time since the book of love
I can’t count the tears of a life with no love
A-carry me back, carry me back, carry me back
mm-baby, where I come from,whoa-whoa, whoa-oh-oh-hoh
Its been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Hoh, it’s been so long since we walked in the moonlight
a-making vows that just can’t work right
Haw-haw, yeah, open your arms, open your arms, open your arms
Baby let my love come runinng in, a-yeah
It’s been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Yeah, hey, yay, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
Ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah
It’s been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time”

Ana Belén - No sé por qué te quiero

Bolero compuesto por Víctor Manuel, pareja sentimental y musical de la cantante y actriz española Ana Belén. En un principio la canción fue interpretada por Ana Belén junto al actor malagueño Antonio Banderas, más tarde la cantó Pasión Vega.

Este tema es habitual en los conciertos de Ana Belén y Víctor Manuel, este pertenece a la famosa gira “Dos en la carretera“:

“No sé por qué te quiero
será que tengo alma de bolero
tú siempre buscas lo que no tengo
te busco en todos y no te encuentro
digo tu nombre cuando no debo.

No sé por qué te quiero
si voy a tientas tú vas sin freno
te me apareces en los espejos
como una sombra de cuerpo entero,
yo me pellizco y no me lo creo.

Si no me hicieran falta tus besos
me tratarías mejor que a un perro
piensa que es libre porque anda suelto
mientras arrastras la soga al cuello.

Querer como te quiero
no va a caber en ningún bolero
te me desbordas dentro del pecho
me robas tantas horas de sueño
me miento tanto que me lo creo.

Si no me hicieran falta tus besos…

Querer como te quiero
no tiene nombre ni documentos
no tiene madre no tiene precio
soy hoja seca que arrastra el tiempo
medio feliz en medio del cielo. “

“My baby dont care for shows

Liz taylor is not his style
And even lana turners smile
Is somethin he cant see
My baby dont care who knows
My baby just cares for me

Baby, my baby dont care for shows
And he dont even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby dont care
For cars and races
My baby dont care for
He dont care for high-tone places

Liz taylor is not his style
And even liberaces smile
Is something he cant see
Is something he cant see
I wonder whats wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me

Original lyrics

My baby dont care for shows
My baby dont care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby dont care for cars and races
My baby dont care for high-tone places

Liz taylor is not his style
And even lana turners smile
Is somethin he cant see

My baby dont care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

My baby dont care for shows
And he dont even care for clothes
My baby just cares for me

My baby dont care for cars and races
My baby dont care for
He dont care for high-tone places

I wonder whats wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
Just says his prayers for
My baby just cares for me“

Sum 41 - Fat lip

Acabamos el fin de semana con un tema divertido, este “Fat lip” de los Sum 41, una banda canadiense de Punk-Rock-Pop de todo un poco que funciona desde 1996, aunque su primer éxito “Makes no difference” no llegó hasta 2000.

El video de “Fat lip” es bastante divertido (como suele ser en este tipo de bandas) y la versión que se lanzó incluía un bonus con el tema “Pain for pleasure“, una especie de parodia heavy metal muy graciosa.

“Storming through the party like my name was el nino
When Im hangin out drinking in the back of an el camino
As a kid, I was a skid and no one knew me by name.
I trashed my own house party cause nobody came.

I know Im not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going, ever showing up when we had to.
Is it attention that we crave dont tell us to behave,
Im sick of always hearing act your age.

I dont want to waste my time
Become aother casualty of society.
Ill never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Because you dont
Know us at all we laugh when old people fall.
But what would you expect with a conscience so small.
Heavy metal and mullets its how we were raised.
Maiden and priest were the gods that we praised

Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense and,
Cutting people down is just a minor offence then,
Its none of your concern, I guess Ill never learn.
Im sick of being told to wait my turn.

I dont want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society.
Ill never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Dont count on me, to let you know when.
Dont count on me, Ill do it again.
Dont count on me, its the point youre missing.
Dont count on me, cause Im not listening.

Well Im a no goodnick lower middle class brat,
Back packed and I dont give a shit about nothing.
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin.
But you dont make sense from all the gas you be huffing.
Then if the egg dont stain youll be ringing off the hook,
Youre on the hit list wanted in the telephone book.
I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion.
The doctor said my mom should have had an abortion.

I dont want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society.
Ill never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.
Waste my time with them
Casualty of society.
Waste my time again,
Victim of your conformity
And back down.“

David Bowie - The man who sold the world

David Bowie, alias “el Camaleón”, todo un crack del artisteo, compositor, cantante, actor, de todo un poco, y entre otras cosas, amo de este auténtico temazo (entre otros). Os sonará también de la versión que hizo Nirvana en su disco “Unplugged in New York“.

El video en directo por supuesto:

“We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasnt there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
Youre face to face
With the man who sold the world“

Peter Frampton - Baby I love your way

Esta es un super clásico, “uhh baby I love your wayyy everydayy”, de Peter Frampton, un artista inglés que triunfó en los 70, aunque actualmente sigue en activo. Ya veis como con tan poco se puede hacer una canción tan brillante.

El video, ya sabeis como me gusta a mi, en directo:

“Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they’re moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city but don’t hesitate
‘Cause your love won’t wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way every day
Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power shine shine shine
I can see them under the pines
But don’t hesitate ’cause your love won’t wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way every day
Wanna be with you night and day uh yeah

But don’t hesitate ’cause your love won’t wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
Wish I could dry one out of season
But don’t hesitate ’cause your love won’t wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way uuhh
Wanna be with you night and day
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Wanna tell you I love your way uuhh
Wanna be with you night and day“
