God knows what is hiding

In that weak and drunken heart

I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry

Those hardfaced queens of misadventure

God knows what is hiding

In those weak and sunken eyes

A fiery throng of muted angels

Giving love and getting nothing back

Oh, people help the people

And if you're homesick,

Give me your hand and I'll hold it.

People help the people

Nothing will drag you down

Oh, and if I had a brain,

Oh, and if I had a brain,

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

That turned all those good hearts away willys.

God knows what is hiding

In that world of little consequence

Behind the tears, inside the lies

A thousand slowly dying sunsets.

God knows what is hiding

In those weak and drunken hearts

I guess that loneliness came knocking

No one needs to be alone, oh, singing:

People help the people

And if you're homesick,

Give me your hand and I'll hold it.

People help the people

Nothing will drag you down

Oh, and if I had a brain,

Oh, and if I had a brain,

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

That turned all those good hearts away

People help the people

And if you're homesick,

Give me your hand and I'll hold it.

People help the people

Nothing will drag you down

Oh, and if I had a brain,

Oh, and if I had a brain,

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

That turned all those good hearts away.

El título del tema que presento es The Leaving Song.Chris Garneau es un americano cantante-compositor y músico.El sonido de Garneau combina elementos de folk , , la música pop , barroco y música de carnaval . Garneau cita a Jeff Buckley , Nina Simone , Nico , y Chan Marshall como influencias.

I, I know you like it.

I, I know you do.

I have made a ruckus.

And I made it for you.

You, you, you, you, you.

You, you, you, you, you.

You are all I know.

You are all I know.

Go, go, go, go.

Go, just go.

Sing, sing, sing of leaving songs,

Like you're leaving.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Esta versión que en su día hizo Fleetwwod Mac, la he vuelto a encontrar en el grupo de hermanos The Corrs. Su título Dreams y me parece fantástica la adaptación a ellos.

Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom

Well who am I to keep you down

It's only right that you should play the way you feel it

But listen carefully to the sound

Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad

In the stillness of remembering what you had

And what you lost

Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining

Players only love you when they're playing

Yeah, women they will come and they will go

When the rain washes you clean you'll know, you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions

I keep my visions to myself

Well It's only me that wants to wrap around your dreams and

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell

Dreams of loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad

In the stillness of remembering what you had

- Drives you mad, - and what you lost, - remember what you had -

Thunder only happens when it's raining

- Thunder only happens when it's -

Players only love you when they're playing

- Players only love you when they're -

Yeah, women they will come and they will go, - they will go -

When the rain washes you clean you'll know

Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining

- Thunder only happens when it's -

Players only love you when they're playing

- Players only love you when they're -

Yeah, women they will come and they will go, - they will go -

When the rain washes you clean you'll know

You'll know, - the heartbeat drives you mad, -

you'll know, - remember what you had -

You'll know

Beautiful tango, take me by the hand

Beautiful tango, until you make me dance

How sweet it can be, if you make me dance

How long will it last, baby if we dance?

Come to the, come to the world

Come to the, come to the world

And baby let me show you things

'Cos time is running and we can't lose, baby come and dance we gonna make it through

'Cos we've got time

Yes we've got time

Beautiful stranger, don't want to know your name

Beautiful stranger, just want to take your hand

How sweet it can be, if you make me dance

How long will it last, baby if we dance?

Come to the place where the skin speaks

Secret words in Spanish

Where the night turns out the lights of day

For us to show some courage

So don't go, if you wanna know

Don't go, if you don't know

Don't go, if you wanna know

Don't go, don't go, don't go

Beautiful stranger, take me by the hand

Make me dance all night

I wanna take the chance

I love the way you move

And the way you

Put your hands on my hips

Are moving while you take it slow

Makes me feel like I'm on a river flow

'Cos we've got time

And yes we've got time

Beautiful stranger, I wanna loose my mind

Beautiful stranger, in the danger of your eyes

Beautiful stranger, oh oh oh oh

I remember, I remember, I remember... your

Sweet music, sweet sweet music, sweet music rising...

Me encanta la música de Evantia Reboutsika. Es una de las pocas en las que todavía no he encontrado una pieza que no me guste. Encuentro su música de una belleza que me hace disfrutar cada vez que la escucho . Hoy traigo al blog el tema titulado Secrets of The Moon.

Un precioso tema interpretado por uno de mis cantantes favoritos Ryland Angel. Kyrie. En el video, imágenes pertenecientes a la película Henry IV

Un tema africano , interpretado por Family Factory, titulado Baxolele

Un buen amigo me pasó hace unos días un gran tema musical de Ben Howard, titulado Old Pine.Ben Howard es un cantante inglés que aun no ha cumplido los 30 pero ya se ha hecho un hueco en el panorama internacional. Comparado con otros cantante folks como Nick Drake o John Martyn, lanzó su primer disco en 2011, hace tan sólo unos meses.

Considerado por algunos como el equivalente al americano Jack Johnson, surfero igual que él, en su disco Every Kingdom nos trae unas canciones melodiosas, dulces y en algunos momentos melancólicas. KLmagazine

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,

I've come to know that memories

Were the best things you ever had

The summer shone beat down on bony backs

So far from home where the ocean stood

Down dust and pine cone tracks

We slept like dogs down by the fire side

Awoke to the fog where all around us

The bloom of summertime

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning.

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,

I've come to know the friends around you

Are all you'll always have

Smoke in my lungs, the echoed stone

Careless and young, free as the birds that fly

With weightless souls now.

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning.

We grow, grow, steady as the morning

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, steady as the flowers

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow, older still

Un tema tranquilo para el fin de semana, en una de las voces que también me cautiva. Diana Krall y el tema The look of love. El videoclip está genial.

The look of love is in your eyes

A look your smile can't disguise

The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say

And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

You've got the

Look of love, it's on your face

A look that time can't erase

Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this

Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited

Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

Don't ever go

Don't ever go

I love you so

Burn It Blue, interpretado por Caetano Veloso y Lila Downs. La canción se icluye en la banda sonora de la película Frida .

Burn this house

Burn it blue

Heart running on empty

So lost without you

But the night sky blooms with fire

And the burning bed floats higher

And she’s free to fly…

Woman so weary

Spread your unbroken wings

Fly free as the swallow sings

Come to the fireworks

See the dark lady smile

She burns…

And the night sky blooms with fire

And the burning bed floats higher

And she’s free to fly…

Burn this night

Black and blue

So cold in the morning

So cold without you

And the night sky blooms with fire

And the burning bed floats higher

And she’s free to fly

Y la noche que se incendia,

Y la cama que se eleva,

A volar…

And of the dark days

Painted in dark gray hues

They fade with the dream of you

Wrapped in red velvet

Dancing the night away

I burn…

Midnight blue

Spread those wings

Fly free with the swallows

Fly one with the wind

Y ella es flama que se eleva,

Y es un pájaro a volar

Y es un pájaro a volar

En la noche que se incendia,

El infierno es este cielo

Estrella de oscuridad

And the night sky blooms with fire

And the burning bed floats higher

And she ’s free to fly

Just a spark in the sky

Painting heaven and hell

Much brighter

Burn this house

Burn it blue

Heart running on empty

So lost without you

Domine fil unigenite es e título del tema musical que presento hoy, interpretado por Mercedes Bahleda,Ferenz Kallos

Paul Schwarz con el tema titulado miserere. Lo encuentro precioso.

El tema elegido hoy para acompañar mi post en Siete en Familia , es el interpretado por Dido & A.R Rahman , titulado If I Rise , incluido en la banda sonora de la película 127 horas.

In your life, your mad

In your car, your sad

O’ your taller now I’ve found

Hold your fire course

O’ your fallen out

Go and sow your courses

If I rise, they are on my drive

If I believe, it’s more than it is

More than it is

If I rise, one more chance

All our dreams, more than this

O’ your taller now I’ve found

Hold your fire course

O’ your fallen out

Go and sow your courses

If I rise, they are on my drive

If I believe, it’s more than it is

It’s more than it is

If I thought I wanted more

Get the life more

Just one more call

Though I’ve never lost

Believe I don’t care

Never again

If I rise, they are on my drive

If I believe, it’s more than it is

It’s more than it is

If I thought I wanted more

Get the life more

Just one more call

If I believe, there’s more than this

Anymore than this

Me gusta mucho Thomas Otten. Ya lo he traído en otras ocasiones al blog. Ahora que me tomo unos días de descanso, me apetece dejar el tema titulado Sa Alma.

Dul a ci ama, y corazon

Si agua ama, y dorazon

Ma a a ta ma a

Sa a alma ma a a a ta

Sa a alma ma a

Dul a ci ama, y corazon

Si agua ama, y dorazon

Ma a a ta sa a a alma

Ma a a ta ma a

Un tema tranquilo para el día de hoy, titulado Better Together, interpretado por Jack Johnson y su banda.

Jack Hody Johnson (Oahu, Hawaii, EE. UU., 18 de mayo de 1975), conocido como Jack Johnson, es un músico estadounidense.Jack Johnson considerado entre algunos críticos como el “beach boy” del siglo XXI por su vinculación al surf y a la música se ha convertido en un icono dentro del mundo de la música y del surf. Su música permite algunos relajarse, sentirse cerca de la playa o incluso encima de una ola ya que al igual que otros artistas, forma parte de la banda sonora de los viajes de cualquier surfero o amante de la naturaleza.

There's no combination of words

I could put on the back of a postcard

No song that I could sing

But I can try for your heart

Our dreams, and they are made out of real things

Like a, shoebox of photographs

With sepiatone loving

Love is the answer,

At least for most of the questions in my heart

Like why are we here? And where do we go?

And how come it's so hard?

It's not always easy and

Sometimes life can be deceiving

I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

MMM it's always better when we're together

Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments

Just might find their way into my dreams tonight

But I know that they'll be gone

When the morning light sings

And brings new things

For tomorrow night you see

That they'll be gone too

Too many things I have to do

But if all of these dreams might find their way

Into my day to day scene

I'd be under the impression

I was somewhere in between

With only two

Just me and you

Not so many things we got to do

Or places we got to be

We'll Sit beneath the mango tree now

It's always better when we're together

Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm

I believe in memories

They look so, so pretty when I sleep

Hey now, and when I wake up,

You look so pretty sleeping next to me

But there is not enough time,

And there is no, no song I could sing

And there is no, combination of words I could say

But I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.

Esta mañana amanecía nevando en mi ciudad, y escuché en una emisora a Louis Armstrong. Ummmmmmm.... ver caer la nieve y esta música , se convirtió en un momento mágico, así que hoy, el tema Kiss of Fire de Louis Armstromg es la elegida para ofrecerla en el blog

I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying

Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying

And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher

I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire

Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning

I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning

And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes

My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?

What good is there denying you're all that I desire?

Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely

If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be

Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow

Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow

I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me

Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?

What good is there denying you're all that I desire?

Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely

If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be

Don't pity me, don't pity me

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow

Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow

I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me

Though it consumes me, the kiss of fire!

Aaah Burn me!

Hoy os presento a Tom Waits y su tema fumblin with the blues. Thomas Alan Waits (Pomona, California, 7 de diciembre de 1949) es un pianista, cantante, compositor y actor estadounidense, famoso por sus canciones de tono áspero, inspiradas en escritores como Charles Bukowski y algunos de la generación beat, en especial Jack Kerouac. Waits tiene una voz distintiva, descrita por el crítico musical Daniel Durchholz como "si hubiese sido sumergida en un depósito de bourbon, ahumada durante unos meses, y luego llevada afuera y aplastada por un coche".1 Con su rugido vocal como marca, y la incorporación de estilos musicales previos a la era del rock, tales como blues, jazz y vodevil, y de música industrial, 2 Waits ha conseguido construir un personaje musical muy singular. También ha trabajado como compositor de bandas sonoras y como actor en películas, tales como Bajo el peso de la ley y Drácula. Fue nominado al Óscar por la banda sonora de One from the Heart.(Wikipedia)

Friday left me fumblin' with the blues

And it's hard to win when you always lose

Because the nightspots spend your spirit

Beat your head against the wall

Two dead ends and you've still got to choose

You know the bartenders

They all know my name

And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead

You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on

Well they spend your love and then they're gone

You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel

Take your love and then they leave on out of town

No they do

Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze

But its standin' up that's so hard for me

I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back

You know your perfume

Well it won't let me be

You know the bartenders all know my name

And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead

Come on baby

Let your love light shine

Gotta bury me inside of your fire

Because your eyes are 'nough to blind me

You're like a-looking at the sun

You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one

Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
