Sinead O'Connor - Watcher Of Men (Job)

Έντονο το θρησκευτικό στοιχείο (όπως άλλωστε προδίδει και το όνομά του) στο νέο cd της Sinead O'Connor, Theology

((((((((So'C)))))))

Why did I not die at birth?
Expire as I came from the womb?
Why were there knees to receive me?
Or breasts to feed me?
Why was I not like babies
Who never saw the light?
Who lie with kings and counsellors
Who rebuild ruins for themselves

And where rest
Those whose strength is spent
where small and great are alike
and the slave is free of his master

Oh watcher of men
Do you have eyes of flesh?
Is your vision like man?
Are your years the years of man?
U know that I'm not guilty
And that none can deliver from your hand.

Also u know that u have deeply wronged me oh
And u have fenced me in
You made it so nobody knows me
And I'm an outsider to them

When I accused you, you wouldn't speak
I said you tore up my hope like a tree
But I spoke without understanding
Of things beyond me which I did not know
And now I've heard you with my ears
And I've seen you with my eyes
Therefore I recant and relent
Being but dust and ashes

Tori Amos - Wednesday

Μικρά τα περιθώρια επιλογής, όμως αυτό είναι από τα πιο καλά τραγούδια από όσα αναφέρονται στην Τετάρτη. Από το Scarlet's Walk" που κυκλοφόρησε τέτοια εποχή πριν 5 χρόνια (Οκτώβριος 2002)

H===TA===H
nothing here to fear
i'm just sitting around being foolish
when there is work to be done
just a hang-up call
and the quiet breathing
of our persian
we call cajun on a wednesday

so we go from year to year
with secrets we've been keeping
though you say you're not a templar man

seems as if we're circling
for very different reasons
but one day the eagle has to land

out past the fountain a left by the station i start the day
in the usual way
then think -- well why not --
and stop for a coffee
then begin to recall things that
you say
no one's at the door
you suggest a ghost
perhaps a phantom
i agree with this in part
something is with us
i can't put my finger on
-- is thumbalina size 10 on a wednesday --
so we go you tell me
to cheer up
you suspect we're oddly even
even still
the eagle has to land
out past the fountain
pluck up the courage
and snap it's gone again
i start humming "when doves cry"
can someone help me
i think that i'm lost here
lost in a place called america

Eagles - How Long

Μόλις 28 χρόνια μετά το προηγούμενο studio album τους οι Eagles επιστρέφουν, σε πολύ καλή όπως φαίνεται διάθεση, με την κυκλοφορία σήμερα 30 Οκτωβρίου του Long Road Out of Eden.
1ο single το "How Long" που κυκλοφόρησε στις 20 Αυγούστου.

~~~~~~~~~~EAGLES~~~~~~~~~~

Like a bluebird with his heart removed
Lonely as a train
I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days
Shinin' in the sun
I'll be doin' fine and then some

How long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep

I've been doin' time in a lonesome prison
Where the sun don't shine
And just outside the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night
With bloodhounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation

How long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long

Rock yourself to sleep

Everybody feels alright
You know, I heard some poor fool sing...
(Somebody oooh...)
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well, I wish I lived in the land of fools
Where no one knew my name
But what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me, how long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep

How long, how long
Muddy river runs so deep
How long, how long
Goodnight baby, rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight, baby, rock yourself to sleep
Bye, bye, bye, bye bye, baby, rock yourself to sleep

Curtis Mayfield - We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue

Tο υπέροχο We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue του Curtis Mayfield διασκευάζει η Sinead O'Connor στο καινούριο της LP που έχει τον τίτλο "Theology"
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
We The People
Who Are Darker Than Blue
We People Who Are Darker Than Blue
Are We Gonna Stand Around This Town
And Let What Others Say Come True

We're Just Good For Nothing They All Figure
A Boyish Grown Up Shiftless Jigger
Now We Can't Hardly Stand For That
Or Is That Really Where It's At

We People Who Are Darker Than Blue
This Ain't No Time For Segregating
I'm Talking Bout Brown And Yellow Too
High Yellow Gal Can't You Tell
You're Just The Surface Of Our Dark Deep Well
If Your Mind Could Really See
You'd Know Your Color Same As Me

Pardon Me Brother As You Stand In Your Glory
I Know You Won't Mind If I Tell The Whole Story

Get Yourself Together
Learn To Know Your Sign
Shall We Commit Our Genocide
Before We Check Out Our Mind

I Know We've All Got Problems That's Why I'm Here To Say
Keep Peace With Me And I With You
Let Me Love In My Own Way

Now I Know We Have Great Respect For The Sister, And Mother
It's Even Better Yet
But There's The Joker In The Street
Loving One Brother And Killing The Other
When The Time Comes And We Are Really Free
There'll Be No brothers Left You See

We People Who Are Darker Than Blue
Don't Let Us Hang Around This Town
And Let What Others Say Come True
Were Just Good For Nothing They All Figure
A Boyish Grown Up Shiftless Jigger
Now We Can't Hardly Stand For That
Or Is That Really Where It's At

Pardon Me Brother, I Know We've Come A Long Long Way
Let Us Stop Being So Satisfied
For Tomorrow Can Be An Even Brighter Day

Cher - I Found Someone

To I Found Someone δεν είναι το μοναδικό στοιχείο που δένει τη Cher με τη Laura Branigan. Κατά σύμπτωση αυτές οι δύο ήταν και τα πρώτα θύματα λογοκρισίας στο MTV. H Laura Branigan to 1984 για το video του "Self Control" για να ακολουθήσει η λογοκρισία της Cher για το video του "If I Could Turn Back Time". Το I Found Someone πρωτοτραγούδησε η Laura Branigan με μικρή σχετικά επιτυχία το 1986, για να ακολουθήσει η Cher το 1987 που το συμπεριέλαβε στο LP με το όνομά της. Το τραγούδι έγινε η μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία του άλμπουμ ακριβώς πριν 20 χρόνια (φθινόπωρο του 1987). Ήταν γενικά μια πολύ καλή περίοδος για τη Cher και στη μουσική αλλά και στον κινηματογράφο.
====CHER====
Don't you know
So many things, they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away, when I needed you most

CHORUS
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Some day your love will shine through
And show you the feelings that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya loose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me, but you still don't believe

CHORUS

Too long on the border line
Wondering if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized

CHORUS

Η λογοκρισία "κόβει" video των DURAN DURAN

Το video του τραγουδιού των Duran Duran, Falling Down που αποτελεί προϊόν συνεργασίας τους με το Justin Timberlake θεωρήθηκε αρκετά προκλητικό για να μεταδοθεί από την τηλεόραση στη Μ. Βρεττανία σύμφωνα με σχετική είδηση.
*+=DURAN DURAN=+*
Once was a man who consumed his place and time
He thought nothing could touch him
But here and now it’s a different storyline
Like the straw he is clutching

Why has the sky turned grey
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
And why has my life gone astray
Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over

Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?

Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
Caught inside its own motion
How I wish it was somebody else instead

Howling at all this corrosion

Why did the luck run dry
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me

Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?

Because I’m falling down
With people standing round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time
Could I find someone out there to help me?
I don’t know…. Why…

NEIL YOUNG - Ordinary People (live)

Ένα μεγάλο απόσπασμα από το μεγάλης διάρκειας τραγούδι. Θα το βρείτε ολοκληρωμένο σε studio μορφή φυσικά στην τελευταία του κυκλοφορία Chrome Dreams II στο οποίο είχε αναφερθεί ο sot μερικά ποστ πριν.

Tomahawk - Red Fox

Μια ιδιαίτερη περίπτωση αποτελεί το Anonymous 3ου LP του supergroup των Tomahawk. Σε αυτό προσπαθούν να δέσουν μουσικά ινδιάνικες παραδοσιακές μουσικές με το heavy rock. Αυτό το έχουν κάνει κι άλλοι βέβαια στο παρελθόν με κύριους εκφραστές αυτής της προσπάθειας τους επιγόνους των Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackfoot. Η διαφορά είναι πως οι άλλοι χρησιμοποιούσαν πιο συμβατικές Rock φόρμες ενώ οι Tomahawk δε διστάζουν να αφήσουν να κυριαρχήσει το ινδιάνικο και το πειραματικό στοιχείο. Όσους δεν προβληματίζει αυτό, μπορούν να ακούσουν περισσότερα στη σελίδα τους στο myspace.

The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday

Από τα πιο πολύ διασκευασμένα τραγούδια των The Rolling Stones το Ruby Tuesday
------------

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday dont matter if its gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you...

Dont question why she needs to be so free
Shell tell you its the only way to be
She just cant be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothings lost
At such a cost

Theres no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Aint life unkind?

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you.

30 χρόνια συμπληρώνονται σήμερα από τη συντριβή του αεροπλάνου που στοίχισε τη ζωή 3 μελών (Cassie Gaines ,Steve Gaines ,Ronnie Van Zant ) του θρυλικού συγκροτήματος των Lynyrd Skynyrd.

<>====LS====<>
Train, roll on, on down the line.
Won't you, please, take me far away.
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door.
Means I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Oh, my baby's gone with the wind.

And I just don't know, oh, where I'm going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again
oh, but I'm leaving my woman at home.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone with the wind.
Train, roll on, Tuesday's gone.

Train, roll on many miles from my home.
See I'm, I'm riding my blues away, yeh.
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free.
Lord, but somehow I've got to carry on.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone with the wind.
Train, roll on 'cause my baby's gone..
I'm riding my blues away, baby
turn around my blues
ride on, train, ride on, train
ridin' my blues, babe
come back to me, babe
come back to me
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh train.

Το From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II αποτελεί συνέχεια του EP From the Screen to Your Stereo (2000).

&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
I'll wear those shoes and you will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon sparkling
So kiss me

Oh, Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
