Were coming from far

Over oceans of time

Were coming from places we once left behind

Were looking for love

In the heart of every man

Were looking for reasons well all understand

Chorus

We are (we are)

In need (in need)

We want (we want)

A place for everyone

We shine (we shine)

Through love (through love)

We are (we are)

The children of the sun

We follow our dreams

Well never stop

We follow our hopes

And we'll never give up

Until we have found

The warmth of the sun

Untill we are born

Chorus

We are

In need

We want

A place for everyone

We shine

Through love

We are

For ever on the run

We are

In need

We want

A place for everyone

We shine

Through love

We are

The children of the sun

Were coming from far

Over oceans of time

Were coming from places we once left behind

Were looking for love

In the heart of every man

Were looking for reasons well all understand

We follow our dreams

Well never stop

We follow our hopes

And we never give up

Until we have found

The warmth of the sun

Untill we are born

Permitideme la nostalgia de hoy, trayendo uno de los grupos que en mi adolescencia , solía escuchar . Esta versión de Sinner man, interpretada por Nuestro pequeño mundo, era obligatorio traerla a este blog. Nunca me canso de oírla. Nuestro Pequeño Mundo fue un grupo musical de España encuadrado dentro del folk.Con ocho componentes, en 1968 comenzó la historia de Nuestro Pequeño Mundo, formación por la que pasaron unas dieciocho personas y en la que pueden distinguirse dos etapas: una primera dedicada al folklore internacional y una segunda en la que su música estaba más relacionada con las raíces españolas y tradicionales.

Su primer éxito fue una versión de "Oh, Sinner Man", que ya era popular en España gracias a Nina & Frederik. Fue lanzado como sencillo y más tarde formó parte de su primer LP, El folklore de nuestro mundo. (wikipedia)

 Josh Rouse (n. 1972) es un cantautor de folk pop estadounidense.Su tema debut fue Dressed Up like Nebraska. Debido a la buena acogida de la crítica lanzó su segundo disco "Home" en 2000, cuyos éxitos fueron más tarde, usados en shows televisivos y bandas sonoras.

En 2002 lanzó "Under Cold Blue Stars" y en 2003 lanzó "1972", en honor al año en que nació, con un estilo de los cantautores de la época de su nacimiento. En 2005 lanzó "Nashville" y en 2006 "Subtítulo", lo cuál coincidió con su traslado a España.

En 2007 Rouse lanzó un disco dueto con Paz Suay bajo el título "She's Spanish, I'm American". Ese mismo año lanzó un nuevo álbum "Country Mouse City House". (wilkipedia)

La canción que os ofrezco hoy se titula Quiet Town

I know somewhere

There is a party going down

Interesting people

Conversation to be found

I've lived in cities

Where there is no solitude

I've made some friends here

That I hope I never lose

But, for now

I want to stay in this quiet town

The neighbors on my block

They've got stories to tell

This is the grocery

But, once was a hotel

And Mr. Driskle he just stands there

With his smile

Inviting everyone he sees

To come inside

This is the life

I want to live in a quiet town

Ohhhh

Sometimes I miss the show

I learned a long time ago

Ohhhh

Sometimes I miss the show

I learned a long time ago

Come Sunday morning

There's a market on the square

Children are playing

Bells are ringing in the air

Old men are drinking

It's a lazy afternoon

Content with thinking

That there is nothing to do

But, for now

I'm going to stay in this quiet town

In this quiet town

In this quiet town

Bon Iver con el tema musical Skinny Love

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you

But it will be a different "kind"

I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here

Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

Now all your love is wasted?

Then who the hell was I?

Now I'm breaking at the britches

And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?

Who will fight?

Who will fall far behind?

Descubrí a Sophie Zelmani , gracias a mi amigo Arcen. Hace unos meses puso el tema Once, interpretado junto a Freddie Wadling, en su blog "La hoja del Arce" (enlace).Esta voz me fascinó . Desde entonces forma parte de mis preferencias musicales.

Hey you

Can i breathe

If my chest is covered

Hey you

Is my face making sense

Eyes can’t be still

In a moment so tense

Here babe

Are the notes you must play

This babe, is the procedure

Here babe

Not in another way

I can assure you

That you will be okay

Once would do

Once could change everything

Once could tell

And help me to clear out

Some things

Once would make

No difference at all

Once or not

I’ve already made this fall

Hey you

Make the most of the time

You’ve got to cross many borders

If you can’t control your mind

Something will happen

It’s just a question of time

Oh babe

I can’t concentrate

I’m here for the wrong reason

It’s you who makes my knees shake

One season, then

The brakes are gonna break

Su última actuación tuvo lugar en septiembre frente a un grupo de amigos para quienes interpretó "What a wonderful world".El tema que os presento es uno de mis favoritos: Autumn leaves.

The falling leaves drift by my window

the falling leaves of red and gold

i see your lips the summer kisses

the sunburned hands i used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

and soon i'll hear old winter's song

but i miss you most of all my darling

when autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long

and soon i'll hear old winter's song

but i miss you most of all my darling

when autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all my darling

when autumn leaves start to fall

Hoy os traigo a Rocky Votolato con la canción White Daisy Passing

Please slow it down
There's a secret magic past world
That you only notice when you're looking back at it
And all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean

Cause I couldn't let go of the water at the setting sun

Passing white daisies, taking turns

Close the door walk to the street

Catching raindrops on your tongue

And for a minute it all stops

But it won't last man, just a passing moment gone

Please slow it down

There's a secret place that I know

If I could a dig a grave I'd then climb underground for good

And all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean

Cause I couldn't let go of the water at the setting sun

Passing white daisies, taking turns

All those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment

They meant everything but the wind just carried them off

And you can't go back now, just a passing moment gone

Please slow it down

There's a secret magic past world

That you only notice when you're looking back at it

And all I wanna do is turn around

I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean

Cause I couldn't let go of the water at the setting sun

Cause I couldn't let go of the passing moment gone
