The passenger - Iggy Pop

Esta es mi canción de la mañana...

I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's a rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight

Singin' la la la la lalalala...

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the stars and hollow sky
He see the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine

Singing... la la la la lalalala...

Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride...

Singing... la la la la lalalala...

Birds - Serenades

Hace un par de días ya os dije que me encantan los Shout Out Louds. Bueno, pues la semana pasada, gracias al blog de indiecaciones (el cual os aconsejo visitar), descubrí que el cantante de Shout Out Louds tenía otro proyecto musical. Ese otro grupo es Serenades. Desde que descubrí su disco, Criminal heaven, no he podido dejar de oírlos (y eso que el 24 de octubre salió el nuevo disco de Coldplay...).

Os dejo esta canción porque es alegre y además es la que tiene vídeo oficial. Eso sí, la letra no es muy allá. A ver qué os parece....

I hate birds, songs and serenades
Church bells ringing in the day
Gentle whisper in my ear
All sadness disappear

There was something missing in my life
Now I know what love is all about

Oh oh oh no no what love is all about
Oh oh oh no no what love is all about

I hate birds, songs and serenades
Sun rises and it starts to rain
Walking down an endless road
To you and where the rivers float

There was something missing in my life
Now I know what love is all about

Oh oh oh no no what love is all about
Oh oh oh no no what love is all about

I hate birds, songs and serenades
Sun rises and it starts to rain

There was something missing in my life
Now I know what love is all about

I hate birds, songs and serenades
Now I know what love is all about
I hate birds, songs and serenades
Now I know what love is all about
I hate birds, songs and serenades

I hate birds, songs and serenades

Whorses - Biffy Clyro

Últimamente no dejo de ver/escuchar el Live at Wembley que hicieron los chicos de Biffy Clyro el año pasado. Me gustan todas las canciones del video, pero esta tiene algo especial...

Who's the hippy now?
I cut it off to make you proud,
abuse my limbs until the sun goes down
I don't want to be alone again.
Got Jesus' Autograph,
no handshake or pat on the ass
his saving grace was talking fast
I don't want to be bored again
am I ready to take that chance,
put my faith in someone else?

Let's use this dynamite,
we're only making noises

I'll make the brightness yours
so we can deny who we are,
I Love you but not today
the darkness fell like a shout.
am i ready to take that chance,
put my faith in someone else?

Together we stand,
we're at the bottom of the cove
it looked like rain but, it felt like snow
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
we'll dig our way out, but we'll still say no.

The wound is king and how,
his whorses turn they make him proud
his vision's clipped like wings and crowns
lets use this photograph
he's never had the chance to believe in something else.

let's use this dynamite, we're only making noises
we want to affect a change with voice and electrical noises
Together we stand,
we're at the bottom of the cove
it looked like rain but, it felt like snow
Because wherever we stand, we're at the bottom of the hole,
we'll dig our way out, but we'll still say no

Darkness fell like a shout;
the darkness fell like a shout;
darkness fell like the shout;

we want to affect a change, with voice and electrical noises

wherever we crash, we're gonna blame it on the old
unique to the touch, and crippled to the bone
however we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes
unfinished and young or unhappy and old

Tonight I have to leave it - Shout Out Louds

Me encantan los Shout Out Louds. No sé que tiene suecia, pero les salen unos grupos de música indie geniales. No me acuerdo de cómo descubrí a este grupo de Estocolmo. Llevo tanto tiempo escuchándolos que son como de toda la vida. Por ahora han publicado 3 discos:

How Howl Gaff Gaff (2005)

Our Ill Wills (2007)

Work (2010)

 A decir verdad iba a colgar todas mis canciones favoritas en la entrada, pero como me es taaaaan difícil elegir sólo una, he decidido que a lo largo de las próximas semanas iré poniendo mi Shout Out Loud's Bests (si, al estilo de Coldplay's bests). 

Hoy toca una canción su segundo disco: Tonight I have to leave it. A ver si nos alegra la tarde a todos...

Don't come up to me and say you like it.

It's better if you say you hate it, that's the truth exactly.

When we go out dancing I don't want to be bothered,

I just want to be bothered with real love.

So I heard it's no good to run,
but it feels so much better now that it's done
and tonight I have to leave it.

So I've heard you know how to write it,
does it mean you're good at putting things on paper?
Rumours say that you're very sorry.
Oh no you're not sorry, no you're not.

So I heard it's no good to run,
but it feels so much better now that it's done
and tonight I have to leave it.

Why don't you give love?
Why don't you give love?

Tonight I have to leave it.

Paradise - Coldplay

Hoy, 19 de octubre de 2011, los chicos de Coldplay han estrenado el videoclip de la canción Paradise. No me esperaba gran cosa la verdad, pero he de decir que el video me ha encantado. Lo protagoniza un elefantito super mono que se escapa de un zoo y termina en África (esto es el super resumen xD). Los paisajes son preciosos y el que un tipo disfrazado de elefante vaya en el metro de Londres me parece todo un puntazo, para que negarlo... Sin alargarme más de lo necesario os pongo el video para que lo veais (si todavía no lo habeis hecho).

When she was just a girl

she expected the world

but it flew away from her reach so

she ran away in her sleep

and dreamed of

Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl

she expected the world

but it flew away from her reach

and the bullets catch in her teeth

life goes on, it gets so heavy

the wheel breaks the butterfly

every tear a waterfall

in the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes

in the night the stormy night away she'd fly

and dreams of

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

she'd dream of

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

lalalalalalalalalalalalala

and so lying underneath those stormy skies

she'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be

Para-para-paradise

Para-para-paradise

This could be

Para-para-paradise

oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

Por cierto!!! Sólo quedan 4 días para que salga el nuevo disco de Coldplay!!! wiiii :) :)

PD. Quiero un peluchito de elefante!
PD2. Ese disfraz va a ser un exito de estos carnavales fijo

I've just seen a face - The Beatles

Me encantan los Beatles. Los escucho muchísimo (de hecho siempre hay canciones suyas en mi mp3 y mi cuenta de lastfm os lo puede confirmar xD). Pero me estoy dando cuenta de que no he puesto muchas canciones suyas en el blog... Pero prometo empezar a poner más canciones de ellos.

A lo que iba, hace unos meses me dió por escuchar los discos de los Beatles uno por uno (que si el album azul, el rojo...) porque conocía las canciones, pero no de qué disco eran. Hasta ahora diré que mi favorito es el Blue album y después le sigue Help!.Justamente en éste disco es donde aparece esta canción que os traigo hoy: I've just seen a face.

Descubrí la canción gracias a la peli Across the Universe (si todavía no la habeis visto ya estais tardando!), asi que os pongo un video de la peli y no de los Beatles en sí. Y es que donde esté Jim Sturgess que se quite Paul McCartney (que es quien canta la canción) aunque salga de joven.

I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
But I had never been aware
And as it is I dream of her tonight
La, di, di, da di di

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

I have never known
The likes of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

I've just seen a face
I can t forget the time or place
And we'd just met, she's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we've met
Mmm, mmm, mmm, la di di

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling me back again

Acabo de encontrar un video en youtube que tiene fotos no muy conocidas de los beatles y ponen la canción (con buen sonido) de fondo, asi que os lo pongo también:

What makes a man - City and Colour

Descubrí a City and Colour gracias a la serie One Tree Hill (lo sé, la serie no es muy allá, pero me ha descubierto unos cuantos grupos de música, asi que aun le doy oportunidades...). A lo que iba, City and Colour no es un grupo, sino Dallas Green (de ahí lo de ciudad y color). Según wikipedia antes Dallas era parte del grupo alexisonfire (yo no los conozco, ¿vosotros?). 

Os dejo con la canción What makes a man. Es tranquilita, perfecta para días de lluvia (o días rojos como diría Holly Golightly). Espero que os guste.

I can hear my train comin'
It's a lonesome and distant cry
I can hear my train comin'
Now I'm runnin' for my life
What makes a man walk away from his mind?
I think I know
I think I might know

I can feel the wind blowin'
It's sending shivers down my spine
I can feel the wind blowin'
It shakes the trees and the power lines
What makes a man spend his whole life in disguise?
I think I know
I think I might know

I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh

I can see the sun settin'
It's casting shadows on the sea
I can see the sun, it's setting
It's getting colder, starting to freeze
What makes a man want to break a heart with ease?
I think I know
I think I might know

I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh

Well I can hear my train comin'
Looks like time is not on my side
Well I can hear my train comin'
I'm still runnin' for my life
What makes a man pray, when he's about to die?
I think I know
I think I might know

I think I might know
I think I might know, oh oh, oh oh

I think I might know
I think I might know, woah oh

Artículos de ocasión - David Trueba

Creo que ya he comentado alguna vez que David Trueba es uno de mis escritores favoritos. Cuando descubres un autor que te gusta sueles ir leyendo (más bien devorando) todos sus libros como si no hubiera mañana. Por ahora David Trueba ha publicado 4 libros: Cuatro amigos, Saber perder, Abierto toda la noche y Artículos de ocasión.

Hasta ahora había leído los 3 primeros y me gustaron mucho (de hecho, los recomiendo). Pero había un libro de esa lista que me era imposible encontrar (ahora sé la causa...). Imaginad mi alegría cuando fisgando en las estanterías de la biblioteca de la Alhóndiga descubrí "Artículos de ocasión". Empecé a leerlo con mucha ilusión, pero, todo mi gozo en un pozo. Menudo truño de libro!!!

He llegado hasta la página 60, pero cada palabra párrafo era un suplicio. Por el título ya sabía que no iba a ser ninguna novela, pero me niego a creer que esos artículos cortos (bastante absurdos) son creación de la misma persona que ha escrito esas obras maestras como cuatro amigos o saber perder.

PS. Qué pena que la primera reseña de un libro abandonado sea de David Trueba, pero es que me ha parecido malo hasta decir basta...

Just like heaven - The Cure

Ayer estaba en un bar y pusieron esta canción. Todo estaría bien si no fuera porque me sabía la letra de la canción y era incapaz de recordar de quién era. ¿Cómo no pude recordar que era de mis queridos The Cure? en fin... no sé si os suele pasar esto, pero cuando a mi me pasa me pone de los nervios. Pero una ver resuelto el misterio (gracias san google) aprovecho y os pongo la canción, que es perfecta para una mañana de sábado soleada.

show me
show me
show me
how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream
she said
the one that makes me laugh
she said
and threw her arms around my neck

show me how you do it
and i promise you
i promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge
i kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways i had
to make her glow
why are you so far away?
she said
but won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
that i'm in love with you?

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
you're just like a dream...
you're just like a dream...

daylight licked me into shape
i must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
i opened up my eyes
and found myself alone
alone
alone
above a raging sea
that stole the only girl i loved
and drowned her deep inside of me

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
just like heaven
