To "The Sound of Silence" των Simon & Garfunkel διασκευάζουν θαυμάσια στο καινούριο τους άλμπουμ Immortalizedοι Disturbed. Το τραγούδι είναι και το τρίτο σινγκλ του Immortalized.
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know.
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence."
Το καλύτερο άλμπουμ εδώ και πολλά χρόνια είναι για το Neil Young το
Americana . Το άλμπουμ που είναι η πρώτη του στούντιο συνεργασία με τους Crazy Horse από το Greendale (2003) κυκλοφόρησε στις5 Ιουνίου και έφτασε στο Νο 4 του Billboard. Κάποιοι κριτικοί το αμφισβήτησαν όμως στην πλειοψηφία τους οι κριτικές ήταν πολύ θετικές. Το Americana περιλαμβάνει διασκευές παλιότερων κομματιών αλλά αυτά είναι κυριολεκτικά αναδομημένα με εξαιρετικό τρόπο και με τονισμένα τα πολιτικά τους μηνύματα, που να τα γίνονται ενδιαφέροντα, όχι μόνο στην Αμερική, απ' όπου προέρχονται αλλά και σε όλο τον υπόλοιπο κόσμο.
I had a dream the other night
Everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
She was comin' down the hill
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'cause I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
Buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I'm comin' from the South
Susannah don't you cry
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'cause I come from Alabama
with a B-A-N-J-O on my knee
Rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah don't you cry
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'cause I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
I had a dream the other night
Everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
She was comin' down the hill
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'cause I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
Well I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana
My true love for to see
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'cause I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
Yeah, I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
Yeah, I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
I come from Alabama
with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine?
Dwelt a miner forty niner, ?
And his daughter Clementine
Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine
Clementine, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine! ?
Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine.
Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.
Clementine, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
And the miner forty-niner
Soon began to weep and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine
In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine.
Though in life I used to hug her,
Now in death, I'll draw the line
Clementine, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
How I missed her, How I missed her!
How I missed my Clementine,
So I kissed her little sister,
And I forgot my Clementine.
Clementine, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Clementine, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone, Clementine!
Clementine, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Clementine, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone, Clementine!
Clementine!

God Save The Queen
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen,
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.
(Long may she reign)
O Lord, and God of us,
Scatter the evil lies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their empty tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix,
God save the Queen.
(Long may she reign)
(God save the Queen)
(My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!)
Είκοσι χρόνια είχε να κυκλοφορήσει προσωπικό άλμπουμ ο τραγουδιστής των Eagles, Glenn Frey (από τον Ιούνιο του 1992 που κυκλοφόρησε το Strange Weather). Το νέο του άλμπουμ κινείται στα χαλαρά Jazz πλαίσια που καθορίζει ο τίτλος του (After Hours) και κυκλοφορεί από τις 8 Μαΐου.
One day we walked along the sand, one day in early spring You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day and many a lonely mile The echo of a piper's song, the shadow of her smile The shadow of your smile, when you are gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn Look into my eyes my love and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star was far too high A teardrop kissed your lips and so did INow when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring I will be remembering the shadow of your smile
Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For god sakes why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That'll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That it why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Το άλμπουμ εκτός από τις εκτελέσεις παλαιότερων κομματιών τους με τη
συνοδεία ορχήστρας συμπεριλαμβάνει και το νέο σινγκλ Happiness.
We're on our way to next train station Passing fields, my mind is wondering of, they don't mean much to me Happy is a silly word if you Think about all the joy we had There's so much left to see
Is happiness a word without meaning? heaven a place in utopia?
But in the end, we keep on moving Reverse is not, it's not part of our style Forward is the only way
Is happiness a word without meaning heaven a place in utopia?
We cannot shout silently We shouldn't run away so slowly There's so much left for us to do We got to figure out If happiness has no meaning if heaven is part of utopia
If happiness has no meaning If heaven is part of utopia, utopia, utopia, utopia, utopia
Σε νέα έκδοση με τίτλο The Heart – X Edition κυκλοφόρησε στις 10 Νοεμβρίου το πρώτο του προσωπικό άλμπουμ The Heart, o Jimmy Gnecco. Το άλμπουμ πωλείται αποκλειστικά μέσω iTunes.
I want you
And I think you should know, but how
When I don't say nothing out loud
What a mystery
As I watched you walking out the door
You're a mystery
I let you down and now you're gone
I lost you
You ran like the ocean over my head
And I told you, that place in my soul was dead
You're a mystery
As I watched you walking out the door
What a mystery
I let you down and now you're gone
I wanted to tell you, but nothing came out
The time had run out
What a mystery
As I watched you walking out the door
You're a mystery
As I let you down and now you're gone
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .
Funny How Time Slips Away
Well hello there,
my it's been a long long time
How am I doin',
oh well I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away
How's your new love,
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
[Funny How Time Slips Away lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]
that you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away
Gotta go now,
guess I'll see you hanging round
Don't know when though, oh
Never know when I'll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time your gonna pay
Well ain't it surprisin' how time slips away
Yeah, ain't it surprisin' how time slips away

They tied that yellow ribbon round the oak tree
They’ve worn out all the prayer in their hearts
All along thought they were rooting for the home team
As they’re sent into the game and torn apart
We twist this tourniquet upon a pipeline
Carries all the pain in the world
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines, It’s clear
On a losing streak from the very start
And that’s where they found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand now
I’m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me
The American Scream
They took that faded ribbon off the oak tree
The’ve worn out all the hope in their hearts
All along thought I was doing the right thing
Now I’m lying in a pool of my blood
And that’s where she found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand now
I’m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me
And that’s where she found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand now
I’m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me
The American Scream
The American Scream
And that’s where she found me
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand now
I’m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG
AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT
I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG
DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP
I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP
MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES
MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES
BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START
CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART
AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO
TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT
AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY
AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL
IS A WATERFALL
OH
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
SO YOU CAN HURT, HURT ME BAD
BUT STILL I'LL RAISE THE FLAG
OH
IT WAS A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
A WA WA WA WA WA-ATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEAR
EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

Tηλεοπτικά θέματα και διαφημιστικά σποτ διασκευάζουν στο εντεκάλεπτο EP TV οι Less Than Jake.

Το Riverman είναι διασκευή του ομώνυμου τραγουδιού του Nick Drake.
Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.
Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes.
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.
If he tells me all he knows
'bout the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime.
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure.
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more.
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
'bout the ban
On feeling free.
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for me.
Οι Joan Baez, Stephen Stills και Nashville Rhythm Section συνεργάζονται με την Judy Collins στο νέο της άλμπουμ Paradise.
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi yaaaaay Ghost Riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on hear their cry
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies
Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky Ghost Riders in the sky Ghost Riders in the sky

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end, Letters I've written, never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before. Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand, Just what I'm going through they can't understand. Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend, Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you, Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end, Letters I've written, never meaning to send. Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before. Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, Oh how I love you, oh how I love you. 'Cos I love you, yes I love you, Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Breath deep The gathering gloom Watch lights fade From every room Bedsitter people Look back and lament Another day's useless penny is spent
Impassioned lovers Wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love And has none New mother picks up And suckles her son Senior citizens Wish they were young
Cold hearted orb That rules the night Removes the colours From our sight Red is gray and Yellow white But we decide Which is right And Which is an Illusion
