Old rockers never die

What planet is this mmmmh?
Let there be rock 'n' roll!

It's a Saturday night and I'm home alone
With the music on quiet I'm flying solo
Then my feet start moving to the sound of the beat
Put the music up loud hear it in the street
Then the neighbours start banging on my front door
Throw the door wide open saying what's your point
Come on in let's rock this joint

We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
We got the whole house rocking
To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll

We dance out of the door, dance into the street
And all the people are swaying to the musical beat
We rock down the road and down to the town
And all the people stare and smile and they get down
Then the police man says "stop this noise"
But the beat takes over now he's one of the boys
The beat's taken over now he's one of the boys

Come on down let's rock this town

We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
We got the whole town rocking
To the mighty power of rock 'n' roll

Let's go
Let it roll
Are you ready?
Said are you ready?
The cosmos rocks
Across seven seas through the Panama,
Now they're rockin' on beaches
and they're rockin' in bars
Don't ask me how and don't ask me why
From Miami Beach down to old Bondi
There's a rock 'n' roll fever
in every place
Next thing you know
they'll be rockin' out in space

Come on down let's rock this place
Come on down and
Sock it to me

We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
We got the whole world rocking
To the mighty mighty mighty power

We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the universe rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
We got the cosmos rocking
To the might power of rock 'n' roll

Más música????

Bueno, si veis nada mas que música, es porque, realmente, no tengo nada que decir. Y mira que es raro, dado que estoy haciendo algo distinto desde hace años, pero no, no sé.

Aquí pongo dos canciones que me ha dado por escuchar hoy, que creo que tienen bastante relevancia en mi estado actual.

Si alguien sabe un tema curioso de tratar, que me lo proponga y me pongo a ello en mis ratos libres!!!

Fix you - Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what your worth"

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Paint it black - The Rolling Stones

In my defence - Freddie Mercury

He aqui al más grande en una de sus ultimas canciones y un video realizado por el director Rudi Dolezal como tributo.



In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream

Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die

Oh help me God
Please help me

If you tolerate this...

Pues nada, dejo aquí una canción que me ha encantado, ya la había oído antes pero ha sido hace poco cuando he empezado a escuchar canciones de este grupo: Manic Street Preachers.

Seguro que mucha gente ya la conoce, pero me sorprendió indagando por ahí y ver en qué fue inspirada la canción. La inspiración de dicha canción fue un cartel de la guerra civil española, propaganda del bando republicano, que rezaba "Si toleras ésto, tus hijos serán los siguientes" en el que aparecía un niño asesinado por una bomba del bando nacionalista bajo un cielo plagado de bombarderos.

Referencias a la información anterior

Me ha resultado curioso, cómo un grupo de origen galés toman esas referencias, lo cual dice mucho a su favor. Además, el estereotipo que hay aquí en España, en la que los grupos comerciales no saben hablar nada más que de banalidades y sólo se atreven a ello los que siguen en el anonimato o grupos que gustan sólo a un sector particular minoritario. Este grupo hace música comercial, aunque rockera, pero son muy comprometidos, pocos grupos llegan a hacerlo, o por lo menos aquí en España, razón más por la que últimamente casi sólo escucho música en inglés.

(Lo siento por los subtítulos en Castellano de la canción, no me gusta traducir las canciones, en mi opinión pierden su esencia, pero no había otro videoclip de ésta disponible para insertarlo, por lo menos que yo encontrase)



The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But well forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today
But Im a pacifist
Ive walked la ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

For Reasons Unknown - The Killers

I pack my case. I check my face.
I look a little bit older.
I look a little bit colder.
With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer.
I move a little bit closer.
For reasons unknown.

I cock my stride.
I flew and flied.
I know if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind.
But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to.
And my eyes, they don’t see you no more.
And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

There was an open chair.
We sat down in the open chair.
I said if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind.
But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to.
And my eyes, they don’t see you no more.
And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you at all.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

I said my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.
And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

En fin ...

The Underdog - Spoon

Picture yourself in the living room
your pipe and slippers set out for you
I know you think that it ain't too far

But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
felt the need to get up for it
oh you cut out the middleman
get free from the middleman

You got no time for the messenger,
got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
you got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive!

I want to forget how conviction fits
but can I get out from under it?
Can I gut it out of me?
It can't all be wedding cake
It can't all be boiled away
I try but I can't let go of it
Can't let go of it,

Cause you don't talk to the water boy
and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to
know,
You will not back up an inch ever,
that's why you will not survive,

The thing that I tell you now
It may not go over well
And it may not be photo-op
in the way that I spell it out

But you won't hear from the messenger,
don't wanna know bout something that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive! (Hey!)

The Racing Rats - Editors

When the time comes
You're no longer there
Fall down to my knees
Begin my nightmare
Words spill from my drunken mouth
I just can't keep them all in
I keep up with the racing rats
And do my best to win

Slow down little one
You can't keep running away
You mustn't go outside yet
It's not your time to play

Standing at the edge of your town
With the skylight in your eyes
Reaching out to gods
The sun says it’s goodbyes

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth

Let's pretend we never met
Let's pretend we're on our own
We live different lives
Until our covers blown

I push my hand up to the sky
Shade my eyes from the sun
As the dust settles around me
Suddenly night time has begun

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

Come on now
You knew you were lost
But you carried on anyway
Oh come on now
You knew you had no time
But you let the day drift away

If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it leave
If a plane were to fall from the sky
How big a hole would it make
In the surface of the earth
The surface of the earth

Tranquilize - The Killers feat Lou Reed

Time it tells living in my home town,
Wedding bells they begin easy
Live it down, baby don’t talk that much,
Baby knows, but baby don’t tease me.
In the park we could go walking,
Drowned in the dark or we could go sailing
On the sea

Always here, always on time
Close call, was it love or was it just easy
Money talks when people need shoes and socks,
Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me

I was just sipping on something sweet
I don’t need political process

I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it’s been getting to me all this time
And it don’t stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I’m a travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing

Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack
Steal a car and ring a round-rosey,
Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman,

Run away and give me your sneakers

Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain
We began the weeping and wailing
A hurried high from pestilence pills and pride,
It’s a shame, we could have gone sailing
But heaven knows,
Heaven knows everything
Tranquilize

I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door
I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it’s been getting to me all this time
And it don’t stop dragging me down

Silently reflection turns my world to stone
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
And sometimes I’m travel man
But tonight this engine's failing

I still hear the children playing
Dead beat dancers come to us and stay

Cause i don’t care where you've been
And I don’t care what you've seen
We’re the ones who still believe
And we’re looking for a page
In that lifeless book of hope
Where a dream might help you cope
With the Bushes and the bombs
aha, Tranquilized.

Kasabian - Empire

Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for something
Guess I'd better sell you now
Guess I'll bet I'll be around

Singing for your questions
But you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
And thats not all the colour
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most

Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!

Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit
I said you are far out here
Taking at the roads
Where you're taken for the simple codes

Swimming with the fishes
While the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters
Now you see that I'm the one
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most

Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!

Repeat!
