Take on Me

Un clásico, sinceramente la canción no la conocía hasta que la vi en una publicidad en FX de la serie Padre de Familia (la cual me encanta). El tema pertenece al grupo A-ha, banda Noruega formada en el año 1982, fue publicado en el 84 sin pertenecer a ningún álbum, sólo como sencillo, Take on Me.

Take on Me

Talking away 

I don't know what I'm to say 

I'll say it any way 

Today is another day to find you 

Shying away 

Oh, I'll be coming for your love,ok? 

Take on me (take on me) 

Take me on (take on me) 

I'll be gone 

In a day or two 

So needless to say 

I'm odds and ends but I'm me! 

Stumbling away 

Slowly learning that life is okay 

Say after me 

It's no better to be safe than sorry 

Take on me (take on me) 

Take me on (take on me) 

I'll be gone 

In a day or two 

Oh the things that you say 

Is it life or just a play 

My worries away 

You're all the things I forgot to remember 

You're shying away 

I'll be coming for you anyway 

Take on me (take on me) 

Take me on (take on me) 

I'll be gone 

In a day...

(take on me)

(take me on)

(take on me)

I'll be gone 

In a day...

You May Think I´m Crazy

Bueno en estos dias viendo la pelicula de Cars 2 escuché este tema (si, si con los chamos de vacaciones es imposible no ver peliculas). El tema pertenece al grupo The Cars, banda estadounidense formada en el año 1976, pertenece al album Heartbeat City del año 1984 y se titula "You May Think".

You May Think

Oh well uh you might think I'm crazy 

To hang around with you 

Or maybe you think I'm lucky 

To have somethin' to do 

But I think that you're wild 

Inside me is some child 

You might think I'm foolish 

Or maybe it's untrue 

(you might think I'm crazy) 

You might think I'm crazy 

(all I want is you) 

But all I want is you 

You might think it's hysterical 

But I know when you're weak 

You think you're in the movies 

And everything's so deep 

But I think that you're wild 

When you flash that fragile smile 

You might think it's foolish 

What ya put me through 

(you might think I'm crazy) 

You might think I'm crazy 

(all I want is you) 

All I want is you 

And it was hard so hard to take 

There's no escape without a scrape 

But you kept it going till the sun fell down 

You kept it going 

Oh well uh you might think I'm delirious 

The way I run you down 

But somewhere sometimes 

When you're curious 

I'll be back around 

Oh I think that you're wild 

And so-o uniquely styled 

You might think it's foolish 

This chancy rendezvous 

(you might think I'm crazy ) 

You might think I'm crazy 

(all I want is you) 

All I want is you-a-oo 

All I want is you 

(all I want is you) 

All I want is you

Brave

Wow! Hoy (y ayer y antes de ayer) vi una peli de Disney, aunque no soy muy fan de ellas, esta me encantó. Porque por primera vez veo a una princesa que no persigue el sueño de casarse y ser feliz para siempre, como todas, sino que ella simplemente quiere seguir su corazón y cambiar su destino. La banda sonora, ufff, excelente, soy fan (como he repetido infinitas veces) de la música celta / irlandesa y al ser la película basada en Irlanda me fascina toda, de hecho, ya tengo el disco completo (mahaha). Bueno me ha costado decidir que canción elegir, al final la ganadora ha sido "Learn Me Right" la canción del final de la peli y de bonus "the Games" tema instrumental (agrrr con las gaitasssss).

Learn me Right

Though I may speak some tongue of oldOr even spit out some holy wordI have no strength with which to speakWhen you sit me down and see I’m weakWe will run and screamYou will dance with meWe’ll fulfill our dreams and we’ll be freeWe will run and screamYou will dance with meWe’ll fulfill our dreams and we’ll be freeWe will be who we areAnd they’ll heal our scarsSadness will be far awaySo I had done wrong but you put me rightMy judgement burned in the black of nightWhen I give less than I takeIt is my fault my own mistakeWe will run and screamYou will dance with meWe’ll fulfill our dreams and we’ll be freeWe will be who we areAnd they’ll heal our scarsSadness will be far away

Raggle Taggle Gipsy

Sip, entre la música poco común que se escucha por estos lares, adoro el estilo de música irladensa - celta - gaitas escocesas - etc, etc, etc. Este grupo lo conocí hace unos años cuando hablaba con personas de otros países, si, si como he dicho ya, para practicar idiomas. El grupo se llama Irish Descendants y el tema "Raggle Taggle Gipsy".

Raggle Taggle Gipsy

There were three old gypsies; came to our hall door 

They came brave and bold-ee-oh 

And there's one sang high and the other sang low 

And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh

It was upstairs and downstairs the Lady went 

Put on her suit of leather-oh 

It was the cry all around the door 

She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh

It was late that night when the Lord came in 

Inquiring for his Lady-oh 

The servant girl she replied to the Lord 

She's away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsie-oh

Oh then saddle for me 

Me' milk-white steed 

Me' big horse is not speedy-oh 

Tonight I'll ride to the wide open field and it's there that I'll spy my Lady-oh

So he rode east. 

He rode west 

He rode North and south also 

It was when he rode to the wide open field 

It was there that he spied his Lady-oh

Oh why did you leave your house and your land 

Why did you leave your money-oh 

And why did you leave your only wedded Lord 

To be off with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh

What do I care for me house and me land 

What do I care for money-oh 

And what do I care for me only wedded Lord

I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gyspy-oh

Last night you slept in a goose-feather bed 

The blankets drawn so comely-oh 

Tonight you'll lie in the wide open field 

In the arms of the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh

You're a - What do I care for a goose-feather bed 

What do I care for blankets-oh 

And you're a - What do I care for me only wedded Lord 

I'm away with the Raggle Taggle Gypsy-oh

So he rode east, 

She rode west 

He rode high and I rode low

Well I'd rather have a kiss of a yello Gypsy's lips 

Than all of your cash and your money-oh

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door 

They came brave and bold-ee-oh

And there's one sang high and the other sang low 

And the lady sang the Raggle Taggle gypsie-oh

Glory Box

Portishead, me gusta el estilo de esta banda. Son británicos, se conformaron en el año 1991 y son clasificados como experimental, alternativo, electrónico. La canción, Glory Box.

Glory Box

I'm so tired, of playing

playing with this bow and arrow

gonna give my heart away

leave it to the other girls to play

for i've been a temptress too long

just. .

give me a reason to love you

give me a reason to be ee, a woman

i just wanna be a woman

from this time, unchained

we're all looking at a different picture

thru this new frame of mind

a thousand flowers could bloom

move over, and give us some room

chorus

instrumental

so don't you stop, being a man

just take a little look from our side when you can

sow a little tenderness

no matter if you cry

give me a reason to love you

give me a reason to be ee, a woman

its all i wanna be is all woman

for this is the beginning of forever and ever

its time to move over

Ravi Shankar

Para los que no lo conocen, Ravi Shankar era un músico virtuoso del sitar. Nacido en el año 1920 en India, falleció hace pocos días el 12 de Diciembre de este año. Compartió en los años 60 con George Harrison de The Beatles. El sitar es un instrumento tradicional de la India y Pakistán, de cuerda y similar ala guitarra, banjo, etc, perocon un sonido muy particular. Si me preguntan, es uno de mis favoritos. a continuación dejo un video de una presentación en un show. 

Carry On

Volviendo al estilo que más me gusta, hoy publico una canción perteneciente al grupo brasilero Angra, banda de power metal y metal progresivo, formada en el año 1991.

Carry On

Simple minded brain, 

for now you succumb 

Nothing changes your way 

This worlds insists to be the same 

based on our mistakes 

The flowers fade along the road 

Don't blindfold your eyes, 

so loneliness becomes the law of a senseless life

Follow your steps and you will find 

The unknown ways are on your mind 

Need nothing else than just your pride to get there... 

Go! 

Now we have to face another day 

You won't be alone 

This life is forcing us to stay 

- For how long? 

Cold is the wind and thunder struck on a stormy night 

But can't you see, I'm by your side 

We are marching on! 

Follow your steps and you will find 

The unknown ways are on your mind 

Need nothing else than just your pride to get there... 

So, carry on, 

There's a meaning to life 

Which someday we may find... 

Carry on, it's time to forget 

The remains from the past, to carry on 

Follow your steps and you will find 

The unknown ways are on your mind 

Need nothing else than just your pride to get there... 

So, carry on, 

There's a meaning to life 

Which someday we may find... 

Carry on, it's time to forget 

The remains from the past 

So, carry on, 

There's a meaning to life 

Which someday we may find... 

Carry on, it's time to forget 

The remains from the past 

Carry on, it's time to forget 

The remains from the past, to carry on 

The remains from the past, to carry on 

The remains from the past...
