The Misty Mountains Cold

Si hay una película libro y demás que adore es todo lo relacionado con el Señor de los Anillos. Recuerdo cuando era niña y mi papá siempre me contaba cuentos inventados por el, pero con los personajes de Tolkien, Frodo, los Jinetes Negros y demás. Así que cuando tuve unos años más y encontré los libros, literalmente los devoré. Me levantaba a las 6 de la mañana y no dejaba de leer hasta las 12 o 1, recuerdo que la trilogía la leí en 2 días jajaja y luego la releí varias veces. El hobbit es uno de los libros que no poseo (tengo el Simarilion y el grande que reúne los tres libros con ilustraciones), pero puedo decir que me gusta mucho la película (aunque asumo que habrá muchos trozos que se comieron como con el Señor de los Anillos, como Tom Bombadil :/). Esta canción pertenece a la primera parte de las películas del Hobbit, lleva por nombre The Misty Mountains Cold. Dejo la version de la pelicula y la extendida.

The Mysti Mountains Cold 

Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day,
To find our long-forgotten gold


The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light






Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.

On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.

Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.

The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.

The bells were ringing in the dale
And men they looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail.

The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled their hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.

Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!


Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old

Sabotage

No hace mucho vi en la tele la película de Star Trek y en el principio, cuando sale un chico manejando una carro que terminando volando por un abismo, suena una canción que me encantó. El tema Sabotage, de la banda Beastie Boys. 

Sabotage


I can't stand it i know you planned it
But i'm gonna set it straight, this watergate
I can't stand rockin' when i'm in here
Because your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this fuckin' thorn in my sideo
H my, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all it's sabotage
So listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'
You'll shut me down with a push of your button?
But i'm out, and i'm gone
I'll tell you now i keep it on and on
'cause what you see you might not get
And we can't bet so don't you get souped yet
You're schmeing on a thing that's a mirage
I'm trying to tell you now it's sabotage

Why; our backs are now against the wall
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
I can't stand it, i know you planned it
But i'm gonna set it straight this watergate
I can't stand rockin' when i'm in this place
Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm buddy rich when i fly off the handle
What could it be, it's a miracle
You're scheming on a thing; that's sabotage

Los Gatos de Rossini

Bueno no por falta de ideas comenzaré a montar canciones normales y dejaré en pausa el proyecto de los covers por ahora. Comenzaré con una pieza perteneciente a Rosssini, que me llegó por email en estos días y la tengo super pegadísima, aparte de que es graciosa.

Cover Fast Car

Tracy Chapman es una compositora estadounidense, ganadora 4 veces del Grammy y de discos platino. La canciçon Fast Car pertenece al çalbum que lleva el mismo nombre de la cantante, del año 1988. La versiçon de hoy es realizada por el grupo estadounidense Vertical Horizon.

Fast Car

you got a fast car 
i want a ticket to anywhere 
maybe we make a deal 
maybe together 
we can get somewhere 
anyplace is better 
starting from zero 
got nothing to lose 
maybe we'll make something 
but me myself I got nothing to prove 
you got a fast car 
and I got a plan 
to get us out of here 

i've been working at the convenience store 
managed to save just a little bit of money 
we won't have to drive too far 
just 'cross the border and into the city 
you and I can both get jobs 
and finally see what it means to be living 
you see my old man's got a problem 
he lives with the bottle 
that's the way it is 
he says his body's too old for working 
i say his body's too young to look like his 
my mama went off and left him 
she wanted more from life than he could give 
i said somebody's got to take care of him 
so I quit school and that's what I did 

you got a fast car 
but is it fast enough 
so we can fly away 
we gotta make a decision 
we leave tonight 
or live and die this way 
i remember we were driving 
driving in your car 
the speed so fast I felt like I was drunk 
city lights lay out before us 
and your arm felt nice 
wrapped 'round my shoulder 
and I had a feeling that I belonged 
and I had feeling I could be someone, 
be someone, be someone 

you got a fast car 
and we go cruising to entertain ourselves 
you still ain't got a job 
and I work in a market as a checkout girl 
i know things will get better 
you'll find work and I'll get promoted 
we'll move out of the shelter 
buy a big house and live in the suburbs 

you got a fast car 
and I got a job that pays all our bills 
you stay out drinking late at the bar 
see more of your friends than you do of your kids 
i'd always hoped for better 
thought maybe together you and me would find it 
i got no plans 
i ain't going nowhere 
so take your fast car 
and keep on driving 

you got a fast car 
but is it fast enough 
so you can fly away 
you gotta make a decision 
you leave tonight or live and die this way

Cover Stand By Me


Para quienes no lo conozcan, Playing for Change (canal de youtube del proyecto aqui) es un proyecto musical y una fundación, ambos creados por iniciativa de Mark Johnson con el objetivo de reunir, grabar y filmar músicos de diferentes culturas. Comenzó en el año 2005. La fundación se dedica a abrir escuela de música en todo el planeta. Hasta la fecha llevan 7 escuelas abiertas entre Nepal, África, entre otros. La canción que cuelgo hoy es original de Ben E. King, cantante estadounidense de sol y pop y salió en el año 1974.

Stand By Me
When the night has come
and the land is dark
and the moon is the only light we'll see
no i won't be afraid, no i won't be afraid
just as long as you stand, stand by me
and darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
should tumble and fall
and the mountains should crumble to the sea
i won't cry, i won't cry, no i won't shed a tear
just as long as you stand, stand by me
and darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, 
oh now now stand by me
oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Cover Bohemian Rhapsody

Este tema es el favorito de mi hijo pequeño. Este cover que publico hoy pertenece a un concierto completo tributo a Freddie Mercury. Destaco que aunque Elton Jhon y Axl son artistas excelentes, a mi criterio ninguno le llega a los talones a Freddie, pero me parece una buena versión (aunque a Elton le falta como fuerza).

Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life? 
Is this just fantasy? 
Caught in a landside, 
No escape from reality 
Open your eyes, 
Look up to the skies and see, 
I'm just a poor boy, 
I need no sympathy, 
Because I'm easy come, easy go, 
Little high, little low, 
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to 
me, to me 

Mamaaa, 
Just killed a man, 
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, 
now he's dead 
Mamaaa, life had just begun, 
But now I've gone and thrown it all away 
Mama, oooh, 
Didn't mean to make you cry, 
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, 
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters 

Too late, my time has come, 
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all 
the time 
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, 
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth 
Mama, oooh 
I don't want to die, 
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. 

I see a little silhouetto of a man, 
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango! 

Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me 
Galileo, Galileo 
Galileo, Galileo 
Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo 

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me 
He's just a poor boy from a poor family, 
Spare him his life from this monstrosity 
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go 
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go 
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go 
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go 
(Let me go) Will not let you go 
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go 
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no 
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go 
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, 
for meee 

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye 
So you think you can love me and leave me to die 
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, 
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here 

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, 
Nothing really matters, 
Nothing really matters to me 
Any way the wind blows...

Cover Fight Firw With Fire

Si, lo sé con MetallicA me pongo intensa, pero es que buscando el otro cover encontré este de la canción Fight Fire With Fire interpretada por Therion, la original pertenece al album Ride The Lightning (por cierto alguien se ha fijado que casi todas la canciones "balada" de MetallicA son la número 4 del disco como The Unforgiven, Fade To Black, The Unforgiven 2, Until it Sleeps).

Fight Fire with Fire

Do unto others as they have done unto you
but what in the hell is this world coming to?
Blow the universe into nothingness
nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
Fight fire with fire
ending is near
fight fire with fire
bursting with fear
We shall die
time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
armageddon is here, like said in the past
Fight fire with fire
ending is near
fight fire with fire
bursting with fear
Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
the gods are laughing, so take your last breath
Fight fire with fire
ending is near
fight fire with fire
bursting with fear
Fight fire with fire
