Fusión

En la línea de las entradas anteriores, podemos encontrar también grupos que optan por famosas piezas de música clásica para ambientar sus singles. Este es el caso de Sweetbox, que, en sus inicios aún con la cantante Tina Harris como vocalista (la verdad es que ha sido un grupo vocalísticamente inestable con cinco cantantes diferentes en su haber a lo largo de los tiempos), lanzó el exitoso "Everything's gonna be alright" allá por 1997.

Este tema tiene como fondo la pieza clásica del compositor alemán Johann Sebastian Bach "Air on a G string". Visto el éxito, el grupo ha utilizado esta receta en otras ocasiones usando temas clásicos compuestos por Beethoven, Ennio Morricone y otros.

Buscando los vídeos de los temas en cuestión, he encontrado una versión jazz de la pieza clásica bastante chula que os dejo como propina. ¡Pasadlo bien!

Johann Sebastian Bach - Air on a G string

Aquí va la pieza clásica, por si hay alguien que no la recuerda...


Sweetbox - Everything's Gonna Be Alright

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

Whoever thought the sun would come crashing down
My life in flames, my tears concrete the pain
We feel the end, the darkest, deepest riverbed
My book of life ain't complete without you here
Alone I sit and reminisce, sometimes
I miss your touch, your kiss, your smile
And meanwhile you know I never cry
Cuz deep down inside
You know our love will never ever die

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away?
Can you give him life today?
Is everything gonna be okay?
I'll be your strength
I'll be here when you wake up

Take your time, and I'll be here when you wake up

I never thought my heart would miss a single beat
Caress your hands, as I watch you while you sleep
So sweet, I weep as I search within
To find a cure, to bring you back again
And the sun will rise, open up your eyes
Surprise, just a blink of an eye
I try, I try to be positive
You're a fighter, so fight, wake up and live

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away?
Can you give him life today?
Is everything gonna be okay?
I'll be your strength
I'll be here when you wake up

Everything's gonna be alright

I'd give my life to only see you breathe again
Hand in hand as we walk on the white sands
To hear your voice, rejoice as you rise and say
This is the day that I wake, and pray, okay?
Tears in silence, as time just moves on
You can't hear it though, but I'm playin' my favorite songs
I miss you much, I wish you'd come back to me
You see I'd wait a lifetime, cuz you're my destiny

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright
Together we can take this one day at a time
Can you take my breath away?
Can you give him life today?
Is everything gonna be okay?
I'll be your strength
I'll be here when you wake up

Por aquí tenéis el tema de Sweetbox...
