Death Cab For Cutie - The New Year
Από το Transatlanticism [2003]
__________
so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions
so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.
there'd be no distance that could hold us back (x2)
so this is the new year (x4)
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Anthem / Next
Δύο από τα τραγούδια που μας άφησε ο μοναδικός Alex Harvey , που έφυγε από καρδιακή προσβολή το 1982, μιά μέρα μόλις πριν κλείσει τα 47 . Το Next (διασκευή τραγουδιού του Jaques Brel) προέρχεται από το ομώνυμο (Next -1973-) ενώ το Anthem από το The Impossible Dream -1974-. Οι The Sensational Alex Harvey Band επανενώθηκαν το 2004 και συνεχίζουν αρκετά πετυχημένα, όμως σίγουρα λείπει η μορφή του Alex Harvey.
Anthem
=======ΤSAHB======
If you don't put me on trial
Then why don't you turn me loose
You can throw the key away
Let me chase the wild goose
Your progress is my desire
You shouldn't do me wrong
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Telling stories to the peacocks
Selling systematically
Just a counterfeit engraving
Of the way you used to be
Just another one-way number
Just another two-way song
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Don't encourage me to murder
'Cause it pays to advertise
Don't treat me with suspicion
Don't tell me no more lies
You know I love your company
You shouldn't do me wrong
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
-----------
Next
=======ΤSAHB======
Naked as sin
an army towel, covering my belly
Some of us weep, some of us howl
Knees turn to jelly
But Next! Next!
I was just a child
A hundred like me
I followed a naked body
a naked body followed me
Next! Next!
I was just a child when my innocence was lost
in a mobile army whorehouse
a gift of the army, free of cost
Next! Next! Next!
Me, I really would have liked a little bit of tenderness
Maybe a word, maybe a smile, maybe some happiness
But Next! Next!
Oh it was not so tragic
and heaven did not fall
But how much at that time
I hated being there at all
Next! Next!
I still recall the brothel trucks, the flying flags
The queer lieutenant slapped our arses
thinking we were fags
Next! Next! Next!
I swear on the wet head
of my first case of gonorrhea
It is his ugly voice that I forever fear
Next! Next!
A voice that stinks of whiskey
of corpses and of mud
The voice of nations
the thick voice of blood
Next! Next!
Since then each woman I have taken into bed
they seem to lie in my arms
and they whisper in my head
Next! Next!
All the naked and the dead
could hold each other's hands
as they watch me dream at night
in a dream that nobody understands
and though I am not dreaming in a voice
grown dry and hollow
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed
Next! Next!
One day I'll cut my legs off
I'll burn myself alive
I'll do anything to get out of life to survive
not ever to be next
Next! Next!
not ever
to be next, not ever...................

The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go / My Body Is A Cage
Τα δύο τελευταία τραγούδια από το Neon Bible (2007)
No Cars Go
----AF----
We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go
(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know
We know a place no space ships go
We know a place where no subs go
(Hey!) No cars go
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Mom, Dad!)
(No go!)
(Hey!) Us kids know
(Hey!) No cars go
Where we know
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream [4x]
I don't want any pushing, and I don't want any shoving.
We're gonna do this in an orderly
Manner. Women and children! Women and children! Women and children,
Let's go! Old folks,
My Body Is A Cage (BBC Radio 2 Session)
----AF----
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.
I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt.
It's a hollow play,
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.
Standing next to me.
My mind holds the key.
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head.
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key.
Standing next to me.
My mind holds the key.
My body is a...
My body is a cage.
We take what we're given,
Just because you've forgotten, that don't mean you're forgiven.
I'm living in an age
Still turning in the night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight.
I'm living in an age,
Realizing I'm dancing
With the one I love,
But my mind holds the key.
You're still next to me,
My mind holds the key.
Set my spirit free.
Set my spirit free.
Set my body free.
Set my body free.
Woo!
Set my spirit free.
Set my body free.
Oh, oh. Oh, oh
No Cars Go

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out
O Joe Jackson επανέρχεται στη δισκογραφία με την κυκλοφορία του πάρα πολύ καλού Rain στα τέλη Ιανουαρίου του 2008. Το Steppin' Out που είναι η μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία του προέρχεται από το Night and Day [1982].
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Now -
The mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine
Look and dry your eyes
We -
So tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say
Can come alive
Get into a car and drive
To the other side
Me babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light
We -
Are young but getting old before our time
Well leave the t.v. and the radio behind
Dont you wonder what well find
Steppin out tonight
You -
Can dress in pink and blue just like a child
And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
Well be there in just a while
If you follow me
Me babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light
You babe - steppin out
Into the night
Into the light
Alison Moyet - Do You Ever Wonder
Από το υπέροχο Hometime (2002)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you ever wonder
What it's like
To be alone and
No sleep at night
Ever wonder
Is this for real
Ever Wonder
Sometimes I think you sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong
I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you
In my mind a picture
That you frame
Kaleidoscope of love you're showing me
Loving sweet rays
All hopes that fade
My only gain
My lonely game played without you
You sigh
Time drifts by, once in a life
Love is strong
I won't feel anything
I'm lost without you
Through the wake of you
Every now and then
Every now and then
The road that I follow is so far from you
Do you every wonder

Kirsty MacColl - In These Shoes?
Πριν 7 χρόνια στις 18 Δεκεμβρίου 2000 χάθηκε με τραγικό τρόπο η Kirsty MacColl. Το In These Shoes? βρισκόταν στο τελευταίο της album "Tropical Brainstorm " [2000].
Τις 3 περασμένες χρονιές το Fairytale of New York που ήταν προϊόν συνεργασίας της με τους The Pogues ψηφίστηκε σαν το αγαπημένο χριστουγεννιάτικο τραγούδι των τηλεθεατών του μουσικού καναλιού VH1.
**********
I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said lets make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said in these shoes?
I dont think so
I said honey, lets do it here.
So Im sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said Ive got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, Ill take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day.
I said in these shoes?
No way, jose
I said honey, lets stay right here.
No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I dont like to dance, I cant ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance? its a scandal)
Then I met an englishman
Oh he said
Wont you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive.
I said in these shoes?
I doubt youd survive.
I said honey, lets do it.
Lets stay right here.
No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I dont like to dance, I cant ride a horse)

KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
Μια live έκδοση του Suddenly I See της KT Tunstall που ακουγόταν στα credits του The devil wears Prada και υπήρχε στο cd της Eye to the Telescope [2004] , κλείνει το φετινό της της Drastic Fantastic.
Πρόσφατα κυκλοφόρησε ένα EP με χριστουγεννιάτικα τραγούδια με τίτλο Sounds of the Season: The KT Tunstall Holiday Collection
------------------
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
38 Special - Fade to Βlue
Από το LP των 38 Special - Resolution [1997]
383838383838383838383838
Faded curtain, faded moon, through a broken sky
Staring at a photograph, the ghost of you and I
Those were times, yeah, those were good times that we shared
We thought those nights would never end....
(Chorus)
Should've seen it comin', runnin' with a fallen angel
Livin' on a broken promise when the day is through
Tryin' to make a life for us, I only knew it my way
I'm just a shadow on the highway..........Fade to Blue.
I hear you cryin' in your sleep
I can feel it 'cross the miles
Love unspoken runs so deep
Like the tears behind your smile
Those were times, yeah, those were hard times that we had
I'd even take them back again.....
(2nd Chorus)
Should've seen it comin', runnin' with a fallen angel
Livin' on a broken promise when the day is through
Tryin' to make a life for us, I only knew it my way
Another shadow on the highway.......Fade to Blue.
......I fade to...I fade to...I fade to blue
(Every night I fade to blue)
(Refrain)
There'll be times, girl, there'll be good times on the way
I'll always be comin' back again.
(3rd Chorus)

System Of A Down - Soldier Side
Δεν είναι επίσημο το video αλλά έχει γίνει πολύ καλή δουλειά πάνω στο τραγούδι των System Of A Down - Soldier Side. Από το τελευταίο τους cd Hypnotize [2005]
^^^^^^SOAD^^^^^^
Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave
Wondering when savior comes, is he gonna be saved
Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die
They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth
He's never going home
Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved
Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die
They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find no truth
He's never going home
Welcome to the soldier side
Where there is no one here but me
People all grow up to die
There is no one here but me
Welcome to the soldier side
There is no one here but me
People on the soldier side
There is no one here but me
Jean Ritchie - Shady Grove
H μοναδική Jean Ritchie τραγουδά εδώ το παραδοσιακό Shady Grove
*************
(chorus)
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away
Cheeks as red a a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest girl in towm
(chorus)
(break)
I wish I had a big fine horse
And corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone
(chorus)
(break)
Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor
(chorus)
(break)
When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife
(chorus)
(break)
A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And ther ain't no girl in this old world
Thats's prettier than mine

-----*-----
Oh, the band marched on in formation
The brass was phasing tunes I couldn’t place
Windows open and raining in
Maroon, yellow, blue, gold and gray
The drunks were ricocheting
The old buildings downtown
Empty so long ago
Windows broken and dreaming
So happy to leave what was my home
With a sky blue sky
This rotten time
Wouldn’t seem so bad to me now
Oh, I didn’t die
I should be satisfied
I survived
That's good enough for now
With a sky blue sky
This rotten time
Wouldn’t seem so bad to me now
Oh, if I didn’t die
I should be satisfied
I survived
That's good enough for now

John Mellencamp - Someday
Το 1ο τραγούδι και 2ο single από το νέο cd του John Mellencamp, Freedom's Road.
Η Joan Baez συμμετέχει στο cd στα φωνητικά του Jim Crow.
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Brother brother oh brother
Why are you walking down this road here
This is the road of madness and trouble
And it's paved with intolerance, ignorance and fear
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Drinking our liquor from a paper cup
Mean to each other
Enough is enough
I look at your face
You look just like me
Hey brother, I'm not your enemy
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
How many times can a spirit be broken
For this is the kingdom of heaven we're given
Good fortune will come to those who create peace
For those are the ones that will walk in heaven
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Someday, someday
But I don't know when
Someday, someday
But I don't know when

Led Zeppelin - No Quarter
Από το Houses of the Holy [1973] προέρχεται το No Quarter
######LZ######
Close the doors, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter,
They hold no quarter.
Oh...
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling low
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter,
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter...they think about no quarter...With no quarter quarter.
Oh No...

Nazareth - Morning Dew
Πάντα καλοί στις διασκευές οι Nazareth αποδίδουν εδώ το πολυδιασκευασμένο Morning Dew που υπήρχε στο ομώνυμο 1ο άλμπουμ τους.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Walk me out in the morning dew
Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in no morning dew
I can't walk you out in no morning dew at all
Thought I heard a young girl cryin' mama
Thought I heard a young girl cry today
You never heard no young girl cryin'
You never heard no young girl cry at all
Thought I heard a young boy cryin' mama
Thought I heard a young boy cry today
You didn't hear no young boy cryin' buddy
You never heard no young boy cry at all
Thought I heard a young man cryin' mama
Thought I heard a young man cry today
You never heard no young man cryin'
You never heard no young man cry at all
Now there is no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew
What they've been sayin' all these years is true
Now there is no more morning dew.

Joe Henry - Time Is A Lion
Από το Civilians, στο οποίο αναφερθήκαμε νωρίτερα, προέρχεται το Time Is A Lion του Joe Henry
======%%%%======
If you fear the angels above while you sleep
Then I'll be the blood, you paint on your door
Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep, but
time is a story and there will be more
Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep,
but time is a story and there will be more
and death in disgrace can seduce anyone
that needs to believe there’s judgment at hand
or God may be kind and see you like a son, but
time is a lion when you are a lamb
Or God may be kind and see you like a son, but
time is a lion when you are a lamb
The years see the best of intentions and greed
they come without shame, they'll leave you with some
men become old when their hurt becomes need, but
time is a lover and your time is young
Men become old when their hurt becomes need, but
time is a lover and your time is young
The sun is a soldier, out crawling the hills
setting fire to every house that’s in view
lighting the ruin of my hope and my will
till I’m like a shadow and I’m falling on you,
crawling on you..
Oh you know how I do..
So sleep here with me and I’ll keep you close
for now while i try to live up to you
You can’t see the challenge of this I suppose, but
time is a dare and I’m trying to
You can’t see the challenge of this I suppose, but
time is a dare and I’m trying to
time is a dare and I’m trying to ( 3x )
Nouvelle Vague - Dance With Me
Μια θαυμάσια διασκευή στο τραγούδι των The Lords Of The New Church κάνουν οι Nouvelle Vague. Το Dance With Me προέρχεται από το Bande A Part (2006) που αποτελείται από διασκευές. Το Dance With Me επέλεξε η Dee στην οποία το blog, "χρωστούσε" την ανάρτηση:) .
!!!!!!(*(*)*)!!!!!!
Let's dance little stranger
Show me secret sins
Love can be like bondage
Seduce me once again
Burning like an angel
Who has heaven in reprieve
Burning like the voodoo man
With devils on his sleeve
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Like an apparition
You don't seem real at all
Like a premonition
Of curses on my soul
The way I want to love you
Well it could be against the law
I've seen you in a thousand minds
You've made the angels fall
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Come on little stranger
There's only one last dance
Soon the music's over
Let's give it one more chance
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Take a chance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
Joe Henry - Civilians
O Joe Henry μιλά εδώ για το καινούριο του cd και παρουσιάζει κάποια δείγματα.
Αν θέλετε να ακούσετε περισσότερα (κάποια από τα τραγούδια υπάρχουν ολοκληρωμένα) μπορείτε να πάτε στην επίσημη σελίδα του.
Solomon Burke - Flesh and Blood
Η κυκλοφορία του νέου cd του Joe Henry Civilians, μου θύμισε την καταπληκτική ερμηνεία του Solomon Burke στο τραγούδι του Flesh and Blood. Το τραγούδι εμφανίστηκε πρώτα στο cd του Solomon Burke στο Don't Give Up on Me (2002), ενώ από τον ίδιο τον Joe Henry ακούστηκε την επόμενη χρονιά στο Tiny Voices .
**************
Come sit beside me
that'll do for now
the night has come and left me
just the light that you allow
come speak my name
fill my head with all such foolish dreams
my flesh and blood
is no more real to me
than what it seems
my love for you is burning
like a spark along a fuse
i feel your mark upon me now
as surely as the hand that leaves the bruise
life is for the living
and life comes hard for some
the rest of us with flesh and blood
make it hard all along
all i ever wanted
was the freedom to refuse
or something of my own to love enough
to hate
to lose
the fever in my brain
is leaving smoke behind my eyes
but the part of me that wants to change
fights the part of me that trys
come see the golden light
cause i've turned the gold light on
sometimes god knows
you gotta learn to shine, shine, shine shine, shine gold.
i stepped out of darkness
and for a moment
i'm only living by your kiss your kiss your kiss your kiss your lips your kiss
and now, just for now, our flesh and blood
is more real than this
more real than this..

The Mamas and the Papas - California Dreamin'
Ένα ζεστό χειμωνιάτικο τραγούδι από τους The Mamas and the Papas το California Dreamin' που υπήρχε στο πρώτο τους Lp If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears (1966). Στις 19 Ιανουαρίου της χρονιάς που τελειώνει ο Denny Doherty έγινε το τρίτο μέλος του συγκροτήματος που έφυγε από τη ζωή.
===((***))===
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day

13th Floor Elevators: Rose And The Thorn
Από το συγκρότημα του Roky Erickson τους 13th Floor Elevators, δημιουργήθηκε το Rose And The Thorn που υπήρχε στο LP τους Bull of the Woods (1968)
==***==
A brand new smile on a brand new angel's face.
It won't change, it won't change.
You're here to stay until your last living breath is complete.
It' won't change, it won't change.
Here she comes, my love,
with the earth beneath her feet,
my love she comes.
She cares.
I do not ask her why she cares,
she cares.
And this is not untold,
within her eyes,
spoken by her soul.
The dawn of truth will rise!
Liberty will find us,
Grown cold, and make him stoned.
The canon stops it's firing,
the unknown soldier will come home.
Faith cannot remain,
wicked words have been confirmed false.
A single drop of the rain,
the rose and and thorn...
The Rise and the Fall
Edgar Broughton Band - Evening Over Rooftops
To 1971 κυκλοφόρησε το 3ο LP των Edgar Broughton Band με τίτλο το όνομά τους. Από εκεί προέρχεται το Evening Over Rooftops στο οποίο συμμετέχουν στα φωνητικά οι The Ladybidrs.
Ανάμεσα στις άλλες συμμετοχές του LP στο Thinking Of You συμμετείχε και ο Mike Oldfield παίζοντας μαντολίνο.
(((((EBB)))))
The air was thick like honey
Looking from a room
The room had open windows
To let this springtime through
Evening stood by watchin'
At the side of summer's promise
The flowers in her garden
Were the envy of her friends
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
The smoke hung on the skyline
The city fell in silence
The sunset, ripe and mellow
Was the light to write some thoughts by
Her children watched for father
From a window in the wall
Said a prayer for grandpapa
And maybe many more
Somewhere in the distance
On the road so far away
I heard the sound of life
With all the people left for home
Three birds flew off a building
Standing proud against the sky
Many more flew with them
Spiralled upward like laughter
Faster, harder
They rose up in a column
Hundreds upon hundreds
And twice that many wingspeed
Four miles across
Stretched a million miles high
The living pulsing column
In the lady of the sky
Feathers thrashed together
Blocked in that huge swarm
I knew no-one could see it
And now that it was gone
I rubbed my eyes, but tried to find
A reason for the flight
Exodus, escape
Or was it just for me to see?
Like the mating of the earth and air
Like water is to flowers
The envy of her friends
How far are we from dying, is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end?
How far are we from dying
Is it nearly at an end? ....

Frank Zappa - Black Napkins
Ένα κερί καίει στην είσοδο της επίσημης ιστοσελίδας μιας από τις μεγαλύτερες μουσικές ιδιοφυίες του 20ού αιώνα. Ο γεννημένος στη Βαλτιμόρη με ελληνικές και αραβικές ρίζες από τον πατέρα του και ιταλικές και γαλλικές από τη μητέρα του, Frank Zappa έφυγε από κοντά μας στις 4 Δεκεμβρίου του 1993. Κομμάτια της τεράστιας μουσικής κληρονομιάς που μας άφησε εξακολουθούν να εμφανίζονται συνεχώς. Μόλις στις 31 Οκτωβρίου κυκλοφόρησε το 2πλό cd Wazoo. Όσοι ενδιαφέρονται για λεπτομέρειες της κληρονομιάς του Frank Zappa μπορούν να βρουν μια καταπληκτική παρουσίαση εδώ.

Sam Stoat - Peggy Gordon
Το παραδοσιακό ιρλανδέζικο τραγούδι Peggy Gordon περιέργως δεν περιλαμβάνεται στο soundtrack της ταινίας The Proposition, που υπογράφουν οι Nick Cave και Warren Ellis, παρά το ότι ακούγεται αρκετά σε αυτήν. Η μουσική του The Proposition νωχελικά μελωδική έρχεται σε πλήρη αντιδιαστολή με τη βιαιότητα της ταινίας. Αν ενδιαφέρεστε για περισσότερα στοιχεία σχετικά με το The Proposition μπορείτε να διαβάσετε την πολύ καλή και απόλυτα κατατοπιστική κριτική του Ηλία Δημόπουλου.
~~~~~~~Chorus
O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee
verse 1
I am in love I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the world know it
A troubled mind can find no rest
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the world know it
A troubled mind can find no rest
verse 2
I lost myself in a cask of brandy
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here
verse 3
I wish I was in a lonesome valley
Where womankind cannot be found
And all the little birds they change their voices
And every moment a different sound
Where womankind cannot be found
And all the little birds they change their voices
And every moment a different sound
verse 4
I wish I was away in Ingo
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest oceans
Where Peggy Gordon ne'r troubles me
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest oceans
Where Peggy Gordon ne'r troubles me

Hey baby, you said you need someone to be there for you

Because I'm right here and I'm ready
To do all the things your man won't do
Verse 1:
Tell me what kind of man would treat his woman so cold
Treat you like you're nothing when you're worth more than gold
Girl to me you're like a diamond I love the way you shine
A hundred million dollar treasure
I'd give the world to make you mine (la la la la la)
I'd put a string of pearls right in your hand
Make love on a beach of jet black sand
Outside in the rain we can do it all night
I'll touch all the places he would not
And some he never knew would get you hot
Nothing is forbidden when we touch
CHORUS:
Baby I wanna do all the things your man won't do (every little thing)
I'll do them for you
Baby I wanna do all the things your man won't do
I'll do them for you
VERSE 2:
Take you out on a night cruise on a yatch just can't lose
Cause we got a lot to look forward to one two whatcha gonna do
What good is a diamond nobody can see
I hear he got you on lockdown but I got the master key yeah
I'll light up all the candles all around
Show me to the subway I'll go down
Nothing can be sweeter than the sound of making love
Baby when I start I just can't stop
I'll love you from the bottom to the top
Nothing is forbidden when we touch baby
CHORUS
HOOK:
(La la la la la)
I'll light up all the candles all around
Show me to the subway I'll go down
Nothing can be sweeter than the sound of making love
Baby when I start I just can't stop
I'll love you from the bottom to the top
Nothing is forbidden when we touch oooh yeah
CHORUS II:
Baby I wanna do all the things your man won't do (I'm gonna I'm gonna ohhh)
I'll do them for you
Sweet lady I wanna do all the things your man won't do
I'll do them for you
VAMP:
Oooh I gotta a jones in my bones for you
There ain't a damn thing that I won't do
Make your body cream with my sex machine
I won't stop until I hear your mother scream
CHORUS OUT:
All the things your man won't do...
All the things your man won't do...
All the things your man won't do...

This time we run
this time we hide
This time we draw on all the
fire we have inside.
We need some time to find a place
Where I can wipe away the
madness from your face.
Our name is out
our name is known
Our name is everywhere
but who knows where we're flown.
I never meant to kill a man
But I will show you how to
live like no one can.
So look away
look away
Hide your eyes from the
land where I lie cold.
Look away
look away from the lies
in the stories that
were told.
Look away
look away from the love
that I hide way down deep
in my soul.
I met you wild in a snowed up town
When I was waiting tied and
bound to be sent down.
Then I broke loose
you weren't around
So I raised banks and
trains until I tracked
you down.
Now look away
look away
. . .
You followed me why I said no
You lay with me when there was
nowhere safe to go.
We made some friends
but now it's done
I always knew that we would
never find the sun.
So look away
look away
. . .
this time we hide
This time we draw on all the
fire we have inside.
We need some time to find a place
Where I can wipe away the
madness from your face.
Our name is out
our name is known
Our name is everywhere
but who knows where we're flown.
I never meant to kill a man
But I will show you how to
live like no one can.
So look away
look away
Hide your eyes from the
land where I lie cold.
Look away
look away from the lies
in the stories that
were told.

that I hide way down deep
in my soul.
I met you wild in a snowed up town

The Seeds - Pushin' Too Hard
Ένα τραγούδι που σημάδεψε την καριέρα των The Seeds του χαρισματικού Sky Saxon και επηρέασε πολύ τη μουσική πολλών άλλων συγκροτημάτων.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
You're pushin' too hard, uh-pushin' on me
You're pushin' too hard, uh-what you want me to be
You're pushin' too hard about the things you say
You're pushin' too hard every night and day
You're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)
Well all I want is to just be free
Live my life the way I wanna be
All I want is to just have fun
Live my life like it's just begun
But you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)
Well, better listen girl to what I'm tellin' you
You better listen girl, or we are through
You better stop all your foolin' around
Stop your runnin' all over town
'Cause you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)
Well I know there's a lotta fish in the sea
I know some would-uh stay by me
So if you don't think I'm gonna try
You better ask yourself the reason why
'Cause you're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)

ΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞΞ
I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was monday
And maybe ill be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I dont know what i will do
Youve got to understand its a hard life
That im going through
And when the night falls in around me
I dont think ill make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you
Well L.A is getting kinda crazy
And New york is getting kinda cold
I keep my head from geting lazy
I just cant wait to get back home
And all these days i spend away
Ill make up for this i swear
I need your love to hold me up
When its all too much to bear
And when the night falls in around me
I dont think ill make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you
And all these days i spend away
Ill make up for this i swear
I need your love to hold me up
When its all too much to bear
When the night falls in around me
I dont think ill make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you

The Coral - Who's Gonna Find Me
Ακούγεται πολύ τελευταία. Με ήχο που παραπέμπει σε πολύ παλιότερες εποχές, το Who's Gonna Find Me είναι το 1ο single από το καινούριο cd των The Coral : Roots & Echoes
***************
It’s six in the morning
And theres no one else around
The mist has fallen
As I look out on the town
It’s playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
It’s too close for tears
And it too hard to forget
It’s too close for tears
I think i thought i said
It’s playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
Who’s gonna find me?
Tell me where I can go?
Who’s gonna find me, searching, alone.
The face in the mirror
It’s a face ive never met
Until I forgive her ill remember to forget
It’s playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
Who’s gonna find me?
Tell me where I can go?
Who’s gonna find me, searching, alone.
And the hours, they build
From underneath the spell, once again
It’s 6 in the evening
And im sweeping up the day
The people beneath them
But I am here to stay
It’s playing on my mind
Wasting all my time, away
Who’s gonna find me?
Tell me where i can go?
Who’s gonna find me, searching, alone

ELTON JOHN - Can you Feel the Love Tonight / Blue Eyes
Elton John. Όσο κακόγουστος είναι οπτικά, τόσο υπέροχος τραγουδιστής είναι.

ZBIGNIEW PREISNER - Van den Budenmayer Concerto en Mi Mineur
Από το soundtrack της ταινίας του Κισλόφσκι "Η διπλή ζωή της Βερόνικας". Το video είναι άσχετο αλλά απολαύστε τη θεσπέσια μουσική, αν και ...ψυχοβγαλτική!

Μπορεί να μας περάσουν για μπλογκ του πολιτικού γραφείου του Κωστάκη αλλά όπως και να'χει αυτό το soundtrack (της ταινίας "1492") είναι από τα αγαπημένα μου.

To Ιnto the night υπάρχει μαζί με παλιότερες και άλλες τρεις νέες κυκλοφορίες στην καινούρια συλλογή του Carlos Santana με τίτλο Ultimate Santana που κυκλοφόρησε στις 16 Οκτωβρίου. Το επίσημο video υπάρχει εδώ
~~~SANTANA~~~
1st Verse
Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell, She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
how the devil himself could be pulled out of me, There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands,
And we sang…
(Chorus)
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
And singing…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,
2nd Verse
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,
we was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,
No room left to move in between you and I,
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
And we sang…
(Chorus)
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
And singing…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,
Ay oh ay oh,
Ay oh ay oh,
And we danced on into the night,
(solo)

Kwan - Tainted Love
Άλλο ένα συγκρότημα από τη Φινλανδία οι Kwan μας παρουσιάζουν το δικό τους "Tainted Love" (δεν είναι διασκευή στο γνωστό κομμάτι των Soft Cell). Το τραγούδι κυκλοφόρησε πέρισυ αλλά τελευταία ακούγεται στη χώρα μας.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As attainable as where the ring of smoke
where the finger be swirling a (...)
There's no point in trying, in calling you back
but taking control of the following act
I've been sensing a tension in your delay
hesitation in drawing the velvet drop
There's no way of unravelling the plot
without taking the slide in the rabbit hole with me
refrain:
Are you ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Sure you want to play
this tainted love
Ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Sure you want to play
this tainted love
Ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Are you sure you want to play
Should you give me a moment and let me think
I will come up with something you can't resist
demonstrating myself in a certain way
with the lighting so subtle and perfectly dim
A suggestion of mine which you will not take
is to pack your belongings and steal away
for the play is in progress and what's to come
may not be your thought of marvelous fun
at all
refrain
Take this moment, don't reason it through
Leave all caution, fall for my need
Let me see

Φλέρυ Νταντωνάκη - Suzanne
|
Από το cd με τίτλο "Η αιώνια εφηβεία της φωνής" που κυκλοφόρησε η ΕΡΤ το 2000 και περιείχε ηχογραφήσεις της Φ. Νταντωνάκη για το 3ο Πρόγραμμα.
***************
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

============
(Oh that feelin's rising...
rising over me)
Oh, that song is singin'
Singin' in to me.
Over everything,
I used to be.
Oh, that song is singin'
Singin' in to me.
Slow and sweet
It caries me
Caries me (x3)
Out to sea
And swallows me
In to the deep
And comforts me (x2)
(Oh, it's all around me, it's all I can see
Even when I close my eyes, It's holdin' me)
Oh, that weight is liftin'
Liftin' on me
(Tenderly)
It caries me
Out to the sea
And swallows me (x3)
Into the deep
And comforts me (x2)
In ... In to the deep
And comforts me (x3)
Oh, that silence signin', singing to me...
Breathe up to me (x2)
Breathe in through me
Breathe out through me
Breathe in through me
ooh Breathe out through... through me
Why don't you breathe in... breathe in through me
and breathe out through me

Willie Dixon - Blues You Can't Lose
Μια από τις μεγαλύτερες επιρροές των Led Zeppelin ήταν ο Willie Dixon (αποδεδειγμένα και με δικαστική απόφαση άλλωστε -στο "Whole Lotta Love" που ήταν κλεμμένο από το δικό του "You Gotta Be Loved"-), πέρα από τα κομμάτια του που είχαν επίσημα διασκευάσει.
Σ' ένα πολύ ξεχωριστό τραγούδι του εδώ από το τελευταίο του ( εκτός από το soundtrack Ginger Ale Afternoon που κυκλοφόρησε την επόμενη χρονιά) studio album Ηidden Charms του 1988. Το Ηidden Charms κέρδισε το βραβείο Grammy σαν καλύτερη παραδοσιακή Blues ηχογράφηση το 1989.

Some they march while some stand still
Some they die while others live
Some they laugh while some they cry
Some hang on while some pass by
Some are high and some are low
Some are sure and some don't know
Some are weak and some are strong
Some are here and some are gone
CHORUS:
With all these things
In a poor man's mind
He gotta have the blues
He can't leave behind
REPEAT CHORUS:

Nightwish - Meadows Of Heaven
Τελείως διαφορετική η φυσιογνωμία των Nightwish μετά την αποχώρηση της Tarja Turunen. Έχασαν σίγουρα ένα σπουδαίο κρίκο της αλυσσίδας που καθόριζε τον ήχο τους . Το Meadows Of Heaven είναι πάντως μια από τις καλές στιγμές του Dark Passion Play
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I close my eyes
The lantern dies
The scent of awakening
Wildhoney and dew
Childhood games
Woods and lakes
Streams of silver
Toys of olden days
Meadows of heaven
The flowers of wonder
And the hidden treasures
In the meadow of life
My acre of heaven
A 5-year-old winterheart
In a place called home
Sailing the waves of past
Meadows of heaven
Rocking chair without a dreamer
A wooden swing without laughter
Sandbox without toy soldiers
Yuletide without the Flight
Dreambound for life
Flowers wither, treasures stay hidden
Until I see the first star of fall
I fall asleep
And see it all:
Mother's care
And color of the kites
Meadows of heaven

Jo Stafford - Begin the Beguine
Μια γυναίκα με πολύ σπουδαία φωνή γιορτάζει σήμερα τα 89α γενέθλιά της. Η Jo Stafford που εδώ τραγουδά το κλασσικό Begin the Beguine του Cole Porter από το musical "Jubilee" γεννήθηκε στις 12 Νοεμβρίου του 1917.
=====****=====
When they begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendour,
It brings back a memory evergreen.
I’m with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra’s playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.
To live it again is past all endeavour,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
And promising never, never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean;
So don’t let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
Till the stars that were there before return above you,
Till you whisper to me once more,
"Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we’re in,
When they begin the beguine

Συμπληρώνεται σήμερα ένας χρόνος από το θάνατο του σπουδαιότερου Έλληνα συνθέτη κινηματογραφικής μουσικής Βασίλη Πολυδούρη (Basil Poledouris) . Ο Βασίλης Πολυδούρης που είχε γράψει τη μουσική για πολύ μεγάλες κινηματογραφικές επιτυχίες, έφυγε από κοντά μας στις 8 Νοεμβρίου 2006 σε ηλικία 61 ετών. Στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα του μπορείτε να αφήσετε τα σχόλιά σας γι αυτόν και το έργο του. Το απόσπασμα είναι από τη μουσική της ταινίας Κόναν ο Βάρβαρος.
