Somebody that I used to know - Gotye

Este cuatrimestre suelo tener clase casi todos los viernes y solemos tener parciales. Ésto no es interesante, pero una compañera y yo hemos iniciado una "tradición" pre-parciales: cuando llegamos a ese punto donde ya te lo sabes todo nos pasamos la hora (o las 2 horas) anteriores al examen jugando a una applicación (Song Quiz). Puede pareceros una tontería, pero de cuando en cuando sale alguna canción interesante.

Esta de Gotye que os traigo hoy es uno de esos descubrimientos musicales:

Now and then I think of when we were together
like when you said you felt so happy
you could die
told myself that you were right for me,
but felt so lonley in your company
but that was love and it´s an ache i still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
like resignation to the end
always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
well you said that we would still be friends
but I´ll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn´t have to cut me off
make out like it never happend
and that we were nothing
and I don´t even need your love
but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough
You didn´t have to stoop so low
have your friends collect your records
and then change your numbers
I guess that I don´t need that tough
now you´re just somebody that I used to know
now you´re just somebody that I used to know
now you´re just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times
you screwed me over
but had me believing it was always something
that I´d done

And I don´t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
you said that you could let it go
and I wouldn´t catch you hung up on
somebody that you used to know...

But you didn´t have to cut me off
make out like it never happend
and that we were nothing
and I don´t even need your love
but you treat me like a streanger
and that feels so rough
You didn´t have to stoop so low
have your friends collect your records
and then change your numbers
I guess that I don´t need that tough
now you´re just somebody that I used to know

Somebody (I used to know)
Nox you´re just somebody that I used to know

Safe and Sound - Capital Cities

Después de algunas semanas ayer a la noche por fin descubrí de quién era esta canción. He de admitir que no conozcía al grupo (Capital Cities), pero no suena nada mal, asi que he decidido compartirla con vosotros esta mañana de domingo :)

I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
and take you where you want to be

You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound

I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate

You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound

I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You'll still be standing next to me

You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet underground
I know that we'll be safe and sound

I will wait - Mumford and Sons

Hace un par de semanas que los chicos de Mumford and sons sacaron su segundo disco: Babel. Creo (y puede que ya lo haya comentado por aquí...) que eso de sacar un segundo disco es un momento muy crítico para un grupo, y es que tienes que evolucionar pero tampoco tienes que perder eso que te hizo diferente y te dio la fama...

Admito que aunque la primera escucha fue algo difícil, mi opinión sobre el disco es muy buena. Por ahora mis canciones favoritas son Bellow my feet, Whispers in the dark, Babel y el single del disco: I will wait (que es la que os traigo hoy). ¿Qué opinais vosotros?

Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Wish we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

But I'll kneel down wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
Well you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way shake the excess

And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
I tethered mind freed from the lies

And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Feel my heart slow

Cause I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you

Talk Tonight - Oasis

Me encanta Oasis. Es uno de esos grupos míticos que por mucho que pase el tiempo sigo escuchando. Viendo la lista de canciones que he puesto en el blog me he dado cuenta de que sólo he puesto una canción de ellos y siendo uno de mis grupos favoritos eso no puede seguir así mucho más tiempo. Como en la última semana me ha dado por Talk tonight, es la que os dejo hoy. Además, es una de las canciones cantadas por Noel, asi que es aun mejor ;)

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played when you were young

I'll never say that I won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life (You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)

I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight

Little Talks - Of monsters and men

Admito que de vez en cuando veo la MTV. Y de pascuas a ramos tienes suerte y durante los anuncios ponen canciones tan geniales como esta que os traigo hoy: Little Talks. Of monsters and men es un grupo islandés que está teniendo bastante éxito últimamente (ojalá vengan de concierto por aquí cerca!!!). Su primer disco se titula: "My head is an animal" y ahí es donde podéis encontrar esta gran canción. 

Como casi siempre primero os dejo el videoclip original y al final teneis la versión acústica:

I don't like walking around this old then empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk through my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way

Because though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be all over,
And buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love

Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear

Because though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

You're gone, gone, gone away
I wish you'd disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go, I mean against you

Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I see you when I fall asleep
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same

Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same

Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Angels - The XX

El otro día se filtró el último disco del grupo inglés The XX. Se titula Coexist y en principio salía a la venta el 10 de septiembre. Obviamente no pude resistirme y después de buscar por internet lo conseguí. Han pasado unos cuantos días y tras bastantes escuchas (mi last-fm es testigo xD) he de decir que me gusta Y MUCHO! Y es que hay que admitir que después de un gran primer disco los XX lo tenían dificilillo para superarse (pero lo han hecho!). Por ahora mi favorita es Angels (que es la canción que os traigo hoy), pero Chained está ganando posiciones...

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than i thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as i am
They would be
As in love with you as i am
They would be
In love, love, love

And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them

Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love, love, love

And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what i mean
And the end is unknown
But i think i’m ready
As long as you’re with me

Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love, love, love

R U mine? - Arctic Monkeys

Después de tanto tiempo sin colgar nada en el blog (falta de inspiración, poco tiempo....), parece que tengo una semana musical... Hoy le toca el turno a lo último de los los Arctic Monkeys: R U mine?. 

Si fuisteis de esos que vieron la ceremonia de apertura de los juegos olímpicos de Londres (conste que yo me incluyo, que twittear sobre ello fue muy divertido xD) los visteis seguro (eran los que tocaron antes de sir Paul McCartney), asi que nada de decir que no os suenan...

I'm a puppet on a string
Tracy island, time-traveling diamond
Coulda shaped heartaches
Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning
Years too late
She's a silver lining lone ranger riding
Through an open space
In my mind when she's not right there beside me

I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"

Well, are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Or I?

I guess what I’m trying to say is I need the deep end
Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes
Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days
Great escape lost track of time and space
She's a silver lining climbing on my desire

And I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can't help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"

Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?)
Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?)
Are you mine? (Are you mine?)

And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways
So in case I’m mistaken,
I just wanna hear you say you got me baby
Are you mine?

She's a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she's not right there beside me

I go crazy cause here isn't where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can't help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"

Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?)
Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?)
Are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?)
(Or I?, Or just mine tonight?)

Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National

Parece que la ola de calor está acabando (por fin!) y como el día está nublado me he acordado de esta canción de The National: Bloodbuzz Ohio. Sale en su último disco High Violet y creo que es perfecta para esos días algo bajos de moral. Sólo hay tirarse en la cama/sofá o playa (para gustos los colores) y disfrutar de la voz del cantante...

Primero os dejo la versión en directo (que personalmente prefiero):

Y la del videoclip oficial:

Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I'll lift my shirt up
Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I'll lift my shirt up

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I never married but Ohio don't remember me

Lay my head on the hood of your car
I take it too far
Lay my head on the hood of your car
I take it too far

I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a bloodbuzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood...buzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz
God I am
I'm on a blood...buzz

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I never married but Ohio don't remember me

I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know

I'm on a bloodbuzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood...buzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz
God I am
I'm on a blood...buzz

Belice - Love of Lesbian

No es ninguna novedad que os diga que Love of Lesbian es uno de mis grupos favoritos. Su último disco es una joya y actualmente la canción que tengo en repeat todo el rato es Belice. Simplemente genial y en directo es todavía mejor...

No, no evitarás,
que quiera largarme cuanto antes,
si cada vez, que me quiero ocultar,
tú me conviertes en gigante.
Me has llevado por corrientes de agua
que van a tus redes.
Y tus ojos son dos prismas devolviendo oscuridad.
No pretendas defenderte.
Te diré que no, no me convences.
Me quiero evaporar, entre la gente.

No, lo vas a negar.
Algunas bases no resisten.
Y un pulgar puede asfixiar.
Y a quien madruga… Díos no existe.
Ya puedes preguntar,
preguntar por ahí, o a los tuyos.
Si una gota colma el vaso,
Otras veces ya es el mar.
Y es el mar esta vez, ¿lo entiendes?
¿No ves que ya no, no me convences?
Me quiero evaporar, entre la gente.

Un día me iré, me iré de verdad.
No sé si me ves, del todo capaz.
De cambiar, nombre y edad, y si me encuentras decirte:
“¿De quién me estás hablando?”
No, no, no, no lo haré, jamás.
Me falta valor, o fuerza vital.
¿De qué me sirve salir de esta inmensa ciudad,
si de quien pretendo huir, seguirá dentro de mí, y eres tú?
Eres tú. Si puedo escapar, es con la mente.

Run - Snow Patrol

Mes y pico desde la última entrada.... :S Vergüenza debería darme, pero el final del curso y la época de exámenes es lo que tienen. Pero lo malo no dura eternamente y dentro de dos días (más o menos) empiezan mis vacaciones! A partir de entonces ya empezaré a subir montones de reseñas que tengo de los libros que he leído estos meses y del BBK Live que empieza en breves (yay!).

La entrada de hoy no tiene mucho misterio. El otro día @daniless puso esta canción en twiter y desde entonces no he parado de escucharla. Lo mejor de todo es que los chicos de Snow Patrol vienen al BBK Live de este año, asi que tal vez vivamos algo parecido a lo del vídeo...

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

El hambre invisible - Love Of Lesbian

A los que lleveis un tiempo leyendo mi blog no os sorprendo si os digo que Love of Lesbian es uno de mis grupos favoritos. Bueno, pues hoy vengo con novedades, y es que esta misma mañana han publicado 3 nuevas canciones: Wio, El hambre invisible y Los seres únicos. Esto es un pequeño adelanto de su nuevo disco (que saldrá el 22 de mayo!!!!!).

Os las dejo aquí para que podais oírlas:

Los seres únicos:

Wio:

Pero mi favorita (por ahora) es El hambre invisible:

En mi Corea Mental, hay un bloqueo bestial,

y desde mi ciudad, solo a veces recuerdo a mi Sur.

Así es mi identidad, muñecas rusas que no acaban jamás.

Un laberinto irreal, donde solo una voz me guió,

eras tú.

Querías mostrarme al exterior.

Tú ilusionista, un gran error.

Dijiste “nadie escucha aquí, y aún menos nos ven,

si siguen ignorándonos van a saber,

que un día atacaremos en forma de alud.

¿Por qué nos cuesta tanto cambiar de actitud?”

Y generé más tensión, y me hice nudos de inaudita opresión,

cuando empecé a notar, un deseo inhumano hacia ti.

Busqué las ganas y también un plan,

romper mis diques de seguridad,

pero antes de decidirme a hablar,

elegía un vuelo raso para huir de tu radar.

Mi mecanismo de horror, volvió a engullir mi tensión.

Intuyo que si hablo va a ser de una vez,

y tanto que he aguantado así, no lo haré bien.

No pongo de mi parte ni aporto más luz

¿por qué me cuesta tanto cambiar de actitud?

Como un sueño fractal, quisiera explosionar,

millones de sonidos que pudieran ampliarte un “gracias”.

Sería un gran paso más, para la humanidad,

mostrar mi cara oculta a los demás.

Ser actitud. Ser actitud. Más actitud.

Es como cuando sueñas que nadie te ve.

Y sigues dando pistas, por si alguna vez…

Y sé que no funcionará si estamos sin ser.

El hambre invisible en su escudo de piel.

Slow Show - The National

Ya sé que llevo un montón de tiempo sin publicar nada, pero este cuatrimestre está siendo bastante intenso. A modo de compensación hoy vengo con una gran canción de un gran grupo. Se llaman The National (su twitter es @The_National) y actualmente son EL GRUPO que quiero ver en directo.

Este vídeo es de cuando estuvieron en el festival de Glastonbury allá por 2010. Espero que os guste! :)

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick?

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for, for 29 years

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for, for 29 years

Don't look back in anger - OASIS

Ayer vía twitter (¿qué raro verdad? xD) me enteré de que la revista NME había publicado el siguiente artículo: 50 most explosive choruses. Mi traducción de andar por casa sería algo así como los 50 mejores estribillos.

¿A que no sabeis qué grupo está en primer lugar? La respuesta no es Coldplay, sino OASIS!!!! Si es que ya decía yo que Noel es un super plus.... Si, ya sé que están separados hace tiempo (una pena no haber podido verlos en directo snif snif) pero aun así Oasis es un grupo que me encanta y esta canción es una de las mejores que tienen (y además Noel la canta!!!)

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'cause You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows, if it's night or day.
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock 'n Roll band
and throw it all away

Gonna start the revolution from your bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to your head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by.
her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger
I heard you say

It's not today.

pd. qué recuerdos me trae esta canción del BBK Live 2011 cuando @daniless estuvo pinchando al final del festival... ¿verdad @oceanchildjulia?

Shake It Out - Florence + The Machine

Florence + The Machine no son un grupo que yo escuche habitualmente. Me suena el nombre y tal, pero no conozco ninguna canción suya. Hasta hoy. Y es que en el último capítulo de How I met your mother (el 7x17 en concreto) han cerrado con esta canción y me ha gustado mil. Si soléis escuchar el grupo os agradecería que me dijerais cuáles son vuestras favoritas.

Aquí os la dejo:

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around

All of these questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Impossible - Shout Out Louds

Estoy de exámenes así que lo de leer está un poco apartado... :( Pero no todo es malo, pues hoy os vengo con mi "grupo del día": los Shout Out Louds. Hace ya unos cuantos meses que os hablé por primera vez de este grupo sueco (uno de mis favoritos). La canción de hoy se titula Impossible. Creo que el videoclip no es el oficial, pero es el último que han colgado en vimeo (y es que los del grupo están grabando un porrón de vídeos que llaman: #discoveries). A decir verdad, con este video lo que consiguen que aumenten mis ganas de ir a un concierto suyo. Ejem que los traigan al BBK Live 2012 Ejem

Os dejo el link a su vimeo: http://vimeo.com/shoutoutlouds

Discoveries #34 from Shout Out Louds - Discoveries on Vimeo.

I don't want to feel like I don't have a future.
I don't want to feel like it's an end of a summer.
Let's not fall back to sleep like we used to.
I don't want to wake up knowing I don't have a future.

Impossible. Your love is something I cannot remember.

I don't want to spend another day in this city.
I woke up thirsty, it's hard to go back you know.
Let's not fall back to sleep like we used to, do you remember?
I don't want to wake up knowing I don't have a future.

Impossible. Your love is something I cannot remember.
And there's a first time and a second time, you've got to hold on.
Did you know it could happen to you?
Your love is something I cannot remember.

I don't want to see the same pictures all over.
And I've been standing on the same spot now since it's been over.
'Cause someone promised me a new chance, yes you promised.
I don't want to wake up knowing I don't have a future.

Impossible. Your love is something I cannot remember.
And there's a first time and a second time, you've got to hold on.
Did you know it could happen to you?
Your love is something I cannot remember.

You are just like your mother, I'm just the same as the others.
Do you believe everything they write in all those magazines?
Stay out of love until you're ready, stay out of it 'cause it scares you.
You'll still find your love outside the public library.

I know it could happen to you.

Wild horses - The Rolling Stones

Cuando alguien hace la mítica pregunta de ¿eres de los Beatles o de los Rolling Stones? yo no tengo ninguna duda: Beatles a muerte. ¿Y vosotros?

Sin embargo, mi fanatismo pro-beatles no me impide apreciar una canción de los Rolling Stones de vez en cuando :P En concreto hoy os traigo la canción Wild Horses, que descubrí hace poco más de una semana (si, avergonzada me hallo....) y que no he podido dejar de escuchar.

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know HOW I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
But no sweet, vain exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after love dies
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

PD. Hay otra versión de la canción hecha por Alicia Keys y un tal Adam Levine. No es que esté mal, pero personalmente prefiero la original. Aquí ya va en gustos.....

Boy's don't cry - The Cure

Es martes y esta semana es algo chunga, asi que hoy vengo con una de esas canciones míticas que alegran o que por lo menos te hacen bailar. Creo que casi todo el mundo la conoce (y si no lo hacen deberían). La otra razón por la que he elegido a The Cure es porque este verano veré a Robert Smith y los suyos en el BBK Live!!! Si, señoras y señores, ayer me compré el bono!!!! xD Solo me queda decir una cosa: disfrutad de la canción!

I would say I'm sorry,
If I thought that it would change your mind.
But I know that this time,
I have said too much,
Been too unkind...

I tried to laugh about it,
Cover it all up with lies.
I tried to laugh about it,
Hiding the tears in my eyes.
Cause boys don't cry.
Boys don't cry.

I would break down at your feet,
And beg forgiveness,
Plead with you.
But I know that it's too late,
And now there's nothing I can do...

So I tried to laugh about it,
Cover it all up with lies.
I tried to laugh about it,
Hiding the tears in my eyes.
Cause boys don't cry.
Boys don't cry.

I would tell you,
That I loved you,
If I thought that you would stay.
But I know that it's no use,
That you've already,
Gone away...

Misjudged your limit,
Pushed you too far,
Took you for granted,
I thought that you needed me more...

Now I would do most anything,
To get you back by my side.
But I just keep on laughing,
Hiding the tears in my eyes,
Cause boys don't cry.
Boys don't cry.
Boys don't cry...

Sobre el BBK Live 2012

El viernes los organizadores del Bilbao BBK Live Festival anunciaron que los grandes THE CURE venían este año. A decir verdad no tenía muy buena opinión del cartel de este año. Entre otras causas es porque repiten por tercera vez con Vetusta Morla. Conste que es un grupo que me gusta mucho, pero traerlos durante dos años seguidos sin que entre medias hayan publicado nada no me parece bien. Podeis traer a Love of Lesbian, que probablemente para verano hayan acabado de grabar su nuevo disco!!! 

Aunque si los organizadores necesitan ideas de nuevos grupos a los que traer yo tengo unas cuantas: Shout Out Louds, The XX, Mumford & Sons, Mando Diao, We are Standard, White Lies, Still Corners, Serenades, Fanfarlo, Delorean, Jero Romero.... Y puestos a repetir que traigan a unos que han publicado nuevo disco: The Maccabees, Los Campesinos!....

Pero basta ya de quejas, que vienen The Cure y Radiohead y eso no está nada mal. Mañana iré a por el bono y ya os iré informando sobre los siguientes anuncios.

¿Repetirán los djs de independance? Ojalá!
