Cuidado con lo que dices

Todos nos acordamos de su gran salto a la fama con "Bring me to life" o "Going under" pero, ¿qué fue de Evanescence? No han vuelto a salir tanto en la radio como entonces, y lo cierto es que siguen haciendo buena música. Por aquí os dejo uno de sus temas tranquis a lo "My Immortal". Y es que nadie puede negar que Amy Lee tiene una voz que muchos quisiéramos... ;-)

Evanescence - Good enough

Under your spell again.
I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
I can't breathe but I feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough for you.

Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you,
And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
Can't believe that I feel...

Good enough,
I feel good enough.
It's been such a long time coming, but I feel good.

And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall.
Pour real life down on me.
'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough.
Am I good enough for you to love me too?

So take care what you ask of me,
'cause I can't say no.

El vídeo está bastante chulo, aquí os lo dejo...

Estilo afrancesado

Yann Tiersen, archiconocido por su estilo característico de componer que a tantos encandiló (a mí la primera) con la banda sonora de "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" o también "Goodbye Lenin", tiene otra canción en su amplio y bastante desconocido repertorio que me gusta mucho. Os la dejo aquí en plan directo, espero que os guste...

Yann Tiersen - Rue des cascades

When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
I don't, I don't
See anything

When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
I hear, I hear
Nothing, nothing

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

When I wake up in Cascade Street
When I wake up in Cascade Street
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
When I'm asleep in Cascade Street
I don't remember
I don't remember

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

When I wake up in Cascade Street
When I wake up in Cascade Street
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

Aquí tenéis el vídeo...

Bananas Melonas Yeah

Mucho me extraña que todavía no se halla hablado de este ídolo de masas en esta sección. Recién descubierto por mí (algunos mantenían su existencia en secreto), no puedo esperar a compartir la futura canción del verano. No sólo superará al cutre chiki-chiki y todas esas basuras que nos tragamos por la tele o más a menudo en el youtube, sino que se convertirá en uno de los himnos que nos servirá de referencia.

No me extiendo más porque si entramos en detalle en el estilo, la personalidad, la sensibilidad y demás chorradas que se estudian en estas artes, nos encontraríamos un tratado mayor que el de los doce libros de Vitruvio (que se dice pronto).

Gunther - Tutti Frutti Summer Love

It's a crazy, crazy night
Having you here right by my side
It's a crazy summer night
Cause you make me feel so alive
Tutti frutti summer love (mmmh, ahhh)

It's a crazy, crazy night
Having you here right by my side

Bananas, melonas, yeah
It's a hot, hot summer love (Yeah)

You can make me do all those crazy things I never dared
It's a no-no (No!)
And you like it
Darling, you're the one and only; yes, I swear
Tutti frutti summer love

It's a crazy, crazy night
Having you here right by my side
It's a crazy summer night
Cause you make me feel so alive
It's a crazy summer love

oooo oooo ayo (Yeah)
Tutti frutti summer love

oooo oooo ayo
It's a crazy summer love
A summer love

You come and take your chance
And do the naked dance
Bananas, melonas, yeah

A summer love

It's a no-no
And I like it
It's a no-no
Teasing me
It's a no-no
And you like it
It's a no-no (I like it)
Come with me
Yeah

oooo oooo ayo
Crazy, crazy summer love
oooo oooo ayo
oooo oooo ayo
Tutti frutti summer love

It's a crazy, crazy night
Having you here right by my side
It's a crazy summer night
Cause you make me feel so alive
It's a crazy summer love

It's a crazy, crazy night
Having you here right by my side
It's a crazy summer night
Cause you make me feel so alive
It's a crazy summer love

Tutti frutti summer love

Parece mentira que se ignore de esta manera a Sir Gunther. Que os sea leve!

agur!!

Historia musical del ga odiar a los Gallagher Parte 1)fapastimo (o cómo

Pues yo también voy a hablar de gafapastas, que me ha dado envidia. Bueno, realmente cuando los hermanos Gallagher decidieron, allá por la decada de los 90, atormentar al mundo de la música con sus canciones moñas no existía el fenómeno gafapasta, pero seamos sinceros, ¿Qué es un gafapasta al que no le gusta Oasis? Nada, evidentemente. Porque por aquel entonces solo eran Indies, pero todos sabemos que es así como se empieza, en los 90 escuchando Oasis, con sus temas guays, sus gafas redondas (guays también) de John Lennon, y al final... ¡ZAS! Sin darte cuenta, acabas en pleno siglo XXI con gafas-de-pasta, unas Converse y chapitas de Mazinger Z en la chaqueta. Y la culpa la tienen ellos (entre otros).

Pues eso, que resulta que rebuscando entre la basura encontré el otro día un temón (mentira, lo encontré porque en un capítulo de "Perdidos" lo canta el idiota que hacía de Merry en "El Señor de los Anillos" ) de esta panda de descerebrados que son los Oasis, y mira que me caen mal, pero todo hay que decirlo, el tema que ahora nos ocupa, es asquerosamente bueno. Tan bueno que hay canciones que solo con el estribillo que tiene esta canción ya irían sobradas, o incluso con la estrofa nada más. Además con cuatro acordes para cada parte, no te creas que se rompieron la cabeza los Gallagher, no no, quita quita, que los señores tenían que ir a pillar jaco... y van y les sale esto. Desde la humilde posición que se me ha dado en este blog, maldigo a los Gallagher por haber hecho lo que sin duda es un "clásico atemporal" y que, por desgracia, lo tenemos que escuchar en las radiofórmulas hasta que nos sale por algún incómodo orificio (oh si, yo también os maldigo Kiss Fm) pero que eso no nos haga reconocer que "Wonderwall" es uno de esos grandes temas de los 90 (junto con "Te huelen los pies", pero eso ya es otro tema...).

Oasis - Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Sí sí, no te preocupes, no le voy a decir a nadie que la has puesto otra vez después de haberla escuchado, es que la primera vez estabas a otra cosa, no te preocupes, si a mí tampoco me gustan los Oasis, que son unas nenas y unos drogatas. En el próximo post, chicas en pelotas, alaridos jebis del averno y guitarras atronadoras, lo juro, nada de canciones moñas.

Gafapasta

Y como lo prometido es deuda, continuamos con nuestro curso de ser gafapasta sin tener ni guarra de la música actual. La lección de hoy se centra en como un grupo de chavalines aprenden a tocar la guitarra, el bajo y la batería en el garaje más cutre de Sheiffield. ¿Y qué se consigue con esto a parte de unas cuantas borracheras y unas risas con los colegas? Vender un disco que es un exitazo, levantarse a todas las tías que quieran y tener una gran colección de tangas, bragas y sujetadores que más de uno quisiera para sí. Mira que ni ellos mismos se esperaban tanto éxito que decidieron llamar a su primer disco "Who the fuck are Arctic Monkeys".

Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down

I said, who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She doesn't do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And i've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know

Although you're trying not to listen
Avert your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
I'm sorry love, i'll have to turn you down
And oh, he must be up to something
What are the chances? Sure it's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
You start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be, yeah

They said he changes when the sun goes down
Yeah, they said he changes when the sun goes down
And they said he changes when the sun goes down around here
Around here

Look, here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mr. Inconspicuous
And he ain't even have to say owt
She's in the stance ready to get picked up

Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
It doesn't stop in the winter, no

And they said he changes when the sun goes down
Yeah, they said he changes when the sun goes down
And they said he changes when the sun goes down
Around here

Well they said he changes when the sun goes down
they said he changes when the sun goes down
They said he changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around here

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a nasty plan
I hope your not involved at all

Y con esto termina la segunda lección. Vete a saber que aprenderemos en la próxima lección. Que os sea leve.

agur!!
