Ladys and Gentlemen............. Tina Turner





Si alguien quiere escuchar a una mujeraza, con un registro vocal tremendo, con una fuerza y pasión increíble....
Aquí tienen, un temazo que también parte lento a capella, luego toma vuelo, con ritmo de soul negro, y un coro negro clásico genial.
En vivo, Tina Turner contagia todo lo que tiene. Tengo un DVD de lo mejor en vivo. Si lo pueden ver, es sorprendente.
Además, tiene una gran sencillez, la música la apasiona pero no se las da de de diosa ni diva.
Pienso que es una de las mejores intérpretes de Soul, sino la mejor.

Mucho más que eso...


La verdad es que More than this me acompaña hace 10 años y sigue siendo una de las que cabe en una mano. Imperdible, incansable, inubicable en alguna época o moda, atemporal.
Sigue siendo una canción nostálgica, que te toma al escucharla, te invita a cerrar los ojos y a seguir la voz de Ferry (imaginariamente por supuesto).
Me gusta mucho como aterriza para finalizar.
Tiene una combinación de batería, guitarra y teclados muy equilibrada, elegante.

A todo volumen



Si hay una canción que te lleva y te trae de vuelta es esta. Algo para desenchufarse y volver con ganas. Es como una montaña rusa, comienza lento, sube en intensidad te chasconea un rato pero finalmente baja de velocidad antes de parar.

Everybody’s lookin’ for somethin’
Somethin’ to fill in the holes
We think a lot but don’t talk much about it
‘Til things get out of control
How do I know when it’s love
I can’t tell you but it lasts forever
How does feel when it’s love
It’s just something you feel together
When it’s love
You look at every face in a crowd
some shine and some keep you guessin’
Waiting for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
Hod I know when it’s love
I can’t tell you but it lasts forever
How does feel when it’s love
It’s just something you feel together
(Solo)
Oh oh oh oh
Oh when it’s love
Oh oh oh oh
You can feel it yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing’s missing
Yeah
(Solo)
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing’s missing
How do I know when it’s love
I can’t tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it’s love
It’s just something you feel together
How do I know when it’s love
I can’t tell you but it lasts forever
When it’s love
When it’s love
It’ll lasts forever
When it’s love
You and I
We’re gonna feel this thing together
When it’s love
When it’s love, baby
You can feel it, yeah
We’ll make it last forever
When it’s love.

Talking Heads en vivo

Debe haber sido el 83 o 84 cuando MTV recién aparecía y en algunas partes mostraban videos grabados en VHS, en USA y traidos por algún fanático de la música.

En algún pub me topé con el video de esta canción, y me quedé atrapado.
Atrapado por el ritmo único, por la performance de David Byrne con sus convulsiones.
Fué algo fuera de lo común para esa década tan "correcta" visualmente.
Difruten y si pueden vean el video.

Genial!!





And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Algo en vivo..

Eric Clapton - My Father´s eyes, de su disco One More Car, One More Rider, en vivo.

Disfruten de esta excelente versión, y si pueden compren el DVD, buenísimo. Tiene una atmósfera inicial, en la cual Clapton empieza a tocar, que eriza la piel.


Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

From the point of no return
You're leaving

Hey hey i saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
There's a million mouths to feed
And i've got everything i need
I'm breathing
And there's a hurting thing inside
But i've got everything to hide
I'm grieving
Hey hey i saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
Doo doo doo doo doo the good thing
Hey hey i saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad things gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
Everybody's happy now

Music Power




Será tan potente la música como para cambiar el estado de cosas?

Qué música escuchará este limítrofe ser humano?

A todo pasto...




Definitivamente, hay sonidos que transportan.
En estos días escuché "I don´t want to live without you" de Foreigner, y apenas empezó a sonar el primer acorde me fui a un campo abierto, verde, primaveral, de esos donde te saturas de tanto aire y puedes estar horas al sol tibio de la tarde.
Mi hice la película en cámara lenta, corriendo detrás de mis hijos, felices, sin apuro, sin nada en mente, tirados en el pasto, con mi hija cortando flores y mi hijo persiguiendo un perro.
Ya es primavera.....
vayan afuera,
está rico el día,
después de almuerzo, hasta para una siesta da....

Pena....con gotas gruesas

Hoy me topé con esta canción en MSOD, Last Kiss de Pearl Jam. Me acordé que hace años la había visto en video.
Tenía unas imágenes desgarradoras de la Guerra en Bosnia. La persecución y exterminio étnico, la pérdida de seres queridos, el dolor, el hambre, el frio........
Si juntas esto con la letra, no te queda otra que partir con un nudo en la garganta....y terminar con los mocos colgando.
Increible lo que hace una canción, un ritmo, una letra y una imagen.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, up straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so
I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew
I would miss
But now she's gone, even though
I hold her tight I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so
I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Oooh~ ooooh~
La música te toca el alma de mil maneras....

Con una lágrima en la garganta..


Viernes sin nada que hacer, 10 de la noche frente al equipo de música y una botella de pisco u otro bebestible para borrarse. Te patearon con o sin razón, no sabes bien por qué. El asunto es que quedaste suspendido en el aire y esa noche estás sólo para una caida libre, en picada, topar fondo, hacerte pedazos, cortarte las venas, en definitiva ahogarse en lagrimas de amor....

Es una noche para maldecir y añorar a tu ex. Vas a ir desde el por qué, hasta recordar cada gesto, caricia, olor, palabra de ella.

Cómo no ponerle música a esto!!!!!

Ya pues, recuerden cuando se tiraron a la piscina y estaba vacía, cuando dijeron que era la persona para toda la vida y pegó la media vuelta.
Ese soundtrack está en alguna parte de la memoria....,asociado a un nombre, una imagen.

Algunas "notables":

Missing you - John Waite
Foolish Heart - Steve Perry
Midnight - Chilliwack
