Astro - Colombo

Esta canción me raya!

“Heinana heinana
Hey! Los conejos se están poniendo a bailar
Se mueven mueven cantanto papapá!”



Banda chilensis con sonido fresco
Su álbum homónimo está muy bueno



Y las comparaciones odiosas con MGMT, no les hacen justicia...para nada :)

Se los recomiendo 100%

Nice Song: Depeche Mode - Justa Can´t Get Enough

Publicado en septiembre de 1981

Todos en algún momento nos encontramos con el ánimo y la exacta sensación de la lírica de esta canción: I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough :D

All the things you do to me
and everything you said...

Saludos Chik@s!!!

When I'm with you baby,
I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough,
I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
and everything you said
And I just can't get enough,
I just can't get enough

We slip and slide
as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough, ahhh

We walk together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough,
I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough,
I just can't get enough

It's getting harder,
it's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough, ahhh

And when it rains, you're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough,
I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just can't get enough,
I just can't get enough

You're like an angel and you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough, ahhh...

Nice Song: Radiohead - Nobody Does It Better

Este tema fue grabado por Carly Simon para la película “The Spy Who Loved Me” ,de James Bond (1977).



Y aquí esta versionado por Radiohead en una perfomance de TV en 1995.

Thom ha dicho que es la más sexy canción que se ha escrito ever! …Wow! :)



Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best

I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Sometimes I wish someone would
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good

The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running, but just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do

And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Baby, baby
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best

Nice Song: Del Shannon – Runaway

Charles Weedon Westover, más conocido como Del Shannon, su nombre artístico, fue un cantante norteamericano famoso sobre todo por la canción “Runaway” (1961).



Esta canción era una de mis favoritas cuando pequeña…mmm no sé dónde la habré escuchado…quizás en algún cassette de mi padre por ahí…



As I walk along,
I wonder what went wrong,
With our love, a love that was so strong.
And as I still walk on,
I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young.

I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

En cuanto uno recuerda este tema, inmediatamente se viene a la cabeza el coro pegajoso: I wah-Wah-WAh-WAH-wonder…jajaja :)

Irónicamente, y desde un humor bien bien bien negro…hablando de cabeza… no sabía, pero ahora investigando en google, resulta que Del Shannon murió en 1990 al auto inferirse un disparo en la cabeza con un rifle calibre 22…ups.. :( ...vieron? sip, muy negro mi humor...

Nice Song: Bryan Ferry - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Oh si! Otro coveRs dirán uds… pero es que si…me encantan! Jejeje :)

Hermosísima canción re –versionada por Ferry, en el álbum “Another Time, Another Place” (1974)

Especial para un día nublado…

Échenle un ojo a la letra…a ver si no están de acuerdo conmigo:

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

Nice Song: David Bowie - Oh You Pretty Things

David Bowie es de aquellos grandes, GIGANTES la verdad…

Nació el 8 de Enero de 1947 en Londres, Inglaterra.

Músico innovador, actor, productor discográfico y arreglista.

Alcanza notoriedad por ahí por el año 1969, con su sencillo “Space Oddity”.

Luego, en plena era del Glam Rock (1972) se presenta con su reconocido y extravagante alter ego “Ziggy Stardust”.











Siempre he rayado con Bowie y adoro todos sus álbumes, pero mis preferidos son: “Aladdin Sane”, “Low” y “Earthling”.

Y sus temas..ufff tantos que me gustan…”Changes”, "Life on Mars?", “The Prettiest Star”, "Sound and Vision", etc, etc, etc!!!



Y uds saben cuánto adoro los coveRs o las versiones!... bien, pues la interpretación de Bowie de la canción “Sorrow”, supera con creces las 2 anteriores - de “The McCoys” y “The Merseys”- (mi humilde y pequeñísima opinión)

Les dejo esta versión, sencillamente increíble de "Sorrow":



Pero el video que en verdad quería postear (antes de irme por las ramas, ja!) es este, grabado en 1972:



GRANDE BOWIE!!!

Nice Song: Alfonsina y el Mar

Es una zamba compuesta por los argentinos Ariel Ramírez y Félix Luna.

Publicada por primera vez en el disco de Mercedes Sosa “Mujeres Argentinas”, de 1969.

La canción es un homenaje a la poeta de la misma nacionalidad Alfonsina Storni, que se suicidó en 1938 en el Mar del Plata, saltando al agua desde una escollera, aunque, según la canción, se internó lentamente en el mar.



Acá Nicole interpreta junto a Inti Illimani, tributando a Mercedes Sosa en el Carnaval Cultural de Valparaíso el 21 de enero del 2010.

Nice Song: Sinead O’Connor - All Apologies

Tema original de Nirvana, grabado el 1993.

Sinead O’Connor nos entrega una bella versión hecha en el año 1994 e incluida en el álbum “Universal Mother”



All Apologies

What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay

What else should I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried
Buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua sea-foam shame
Sunburn with freezer-burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried
Buried

Nice Song: Eva Cassidy - Time After Time

Esto de buscar covers se ha convertido en algo sumamente entrete…uno se encuentra con tesoros…y también, digámoslo, con otros “experimentos” menos asertivos, por decirlo de alguna manera generosa :D

Pero en este caso encontré algo justo en medio de los dos..ni taaaan increíble, ni tan bodrio. Pero que vale la pena escucharlo ;)

Es una versión en vivo de la conocida canción de Cyndi Lauper “Time After Time”. Realizada por Eva Cassidy (1966-1993).






Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion
is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after

sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
time after time

after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time

chorus:
if you're lost...

you said go slow
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

Nice Song: The Postmarks - 11:59

Cover realizado por The Postmarks (2008) de una canción original de Blondie




Acá la versión de Blondie



11:59

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten and time is running out
Lock up all your memories, get outa here, you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning, take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run

Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

Hanging on a frequency and burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here, time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can run

Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive

Nice Song: No Doubt - It's My Life

Mas y mas covers jajaja :D

Versión de la canción original de Talk Talk de 1984.

No Doubt lo incluyó en su álbum recopilatorio “The Singles 1992-2003”.



Acá la original ;)



It's My Life

Funny how i find myself in love with you
If i could buy my reasoning I'd would pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how i blind myself
I never knew if i was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends.

Nice Song: UB40 - Can’t Help Fall in Love With You

Y continuamos con covers ;)

Esta canción fue originalmente grabada por Elvis Presley.

En 1993 la banda británica de reggae UB40, realizaron este cover y aparece en la banda sonora de la película del mismo año “Sliver” (protagonizada por Sharon Stone y William Baldwin)



Personalmente me encantan las dos, la original con la voz insuperable del gran Elvis y la mas movida y noventera de UB40.



Can’t Help Fall in Love With You

Wise men say, only fools rush in.
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
I can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows gently to the sea
Darling so we go, some things were meant to be
Take my hand take my whole heart too
'Cause i can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows gently to the sea
Darling so we go, some things were meant to be
Take my hand take my whole heart too
'Cause i can't help falling in love with you

Nice Song: Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O' Mine

Sheryl Crow, re versiona la canción de Guns N’ Roses, incluida en el soundtrack de la película “Big Daddy”

Con este cover gana el 2000 un Grammy por “Best Female Rock Vocal Performance”



Acá el original de Guns N’ Roses



Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Saludos Chik@s!!!

Nice Song: Sonic Youth - Superstar

Es una conocidísima canción de The Carpenters.



En 1994 fue versionada por Sonic Youth para ser incluida en al álbum tributo “If I were a Carpenter”.



Luego esta última versión también fue contemplada en la banda sonora de la película “Juno” el 2007.






Superstar

Long ago, and oh so far away
I fell in love with you,
before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so
sweet and clear
But you're not really hear
it's just the radio

Don't you remember you told me
you loved me now baby
You said you'd be coming
back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you,
I really do

Loneliness, is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait
to be with you again
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar

Don't you remember you told me
you loved me now baby
You said you'd be coming
back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you
I really do

Saludos Chik@s!!!

Nice Song: Postal Service - Against All Odds

Fue compuesta y grabada originalmente por al cantante británico Phil Collins.

Ha sido re versionada muchas veces, siendo la mas conocida la de Mariah Carey, que incluyó en su sexto álbum de estudio “Rainbow”

Postal Service grabó otra versión para la banda sonora de la película “Wicker Park” el 2004. Este cover ha sido reconocido por el New York Post, como uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos, y la verdad es re lindo! :D

Escenas de la película





La letra de la canción es como para llorar a moco tendido!!! O al menos eso me sucede a mi que soy mas bien intensa jajaja ;)

Como que da la idea de una relación que ha pasado por muchos obstáculos, y que esta justo atravesando una última crisis, con la esperanza de superarla.

En fin, les dejo dos versiones, la original de Phil Collins y le hermosa versión de Postal Service:





Against All Odds

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take

Take a look at me now

Nice Song: She & Him - You Really Got a Hold On Me

Esta canción ha sido innumerablemente versionada por distintos artistas, entre ellos: The Supremes, The temptacions, Jackson 5, Percy Slage, Small Faces, Cyndi Lauper, Bobby McFerrin y Rod Stewart.

Por ahí por el año 1963 fue grabada por The Beatles, quizás la mas conocida de todas las versiones.

Pero originalmente pertenece a The Miracles, incluida en el álbum “The Fabulous Miracles” del 1962.



La letra da cuenta de ese elemento medio masoquista que tienen algunas relaciones, en donde la obsesión se confunde con el amor. Y que aunque te traten pésimo igual sigues enganchada :(

Bueno, a pesar de que la letra es todo lo contrario a lo que uno debe hacer, es un precioso tema :D

Les dejo la versión original con The Miracles y luego una mucho mas actual con Zooey Deschanel y su grupo She & Him:





You Really Got a Hold On Me

I don't like you
But I love you
See that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need you
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wring now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me.
