Bob Dylan - Christmas Island / Do You Hear What I Hear?

Από τους πρώτους που ανοίγουν το χορό των χριστουγεννιάτικων κυκλοφοριών ο Bob Dylan με το Christmas In The Heart, που θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 13 Οκτωβρίου και οι εισπράξεις του θα δοθούν για φιλανθρωπικούς σκοπούς.

Christmas Island




Let's get away from sleigh bells
Let's get away from snow
Let's make & break some Christmas rules
I know the place to go
How'dja like to spend Chrismas on Christmas Island?
How'dja like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'dja like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'dja like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

How'd you like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray for everyday your Christmas dreams come true
On Christmas Island your dreams come true

Do You Hear What I Hear?



Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

Gracias a La Vida

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el oído que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y día grillos y canarios
Martirios, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario
Con él, las palabras que pienso y declaro
Madre, amigo, hermano
Y luz alumbrando la ruta del alma del que estoy amando

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos
Playas y desiertos, montañas y llanos
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me dio el corazón que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano
Cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo
Cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto
Así yo distingo dicha de quebranto
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto
Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto

Gracias a la vida, gracias a la vida

La Peregrinación



A la huella, a la huella
Jose y maria
Por las pampas heladas
Cardos y ortigas.

A la huella, a la huella
Cortando campo
No hay cobijo ni fonda
Sigan andando.

Florecita del campo,
Clavel del aire
Si ninguno te aloja
¿adonde naces?

¿donde naces, florcita
Que estas creciendo,
Palomita asustada,
Grillo sin sueño?

A la huella, a la huella
Jose y maria
Con un dios escondido
Nadie sabia ...
A la huella, a la huella
Los peregrinos
Prestenme una tapera
Para mi niño.

A la huella, a la huella
Soles y lunas
Los ojitos de almendra
Piel de aceituna.

¡ay burrito del campo!
¡ay buey barcino!
¡que mi niño ya viene,
Haganle sitio!

Un ranchito de quincha
Solo me ampara
Dos alientos amigos
La luna clara

A la huella, a la huella
Jose y maria
Con un dios escondido
Nadie sabia ...

Alfonsina y el mar

Por la blanda arena
Que lame el mar
Su pequeña huella
No vuelve más
Un sendero solo
De pena y silencio llegó
Hasta el agua profunda
Un sendero solo
De penas mudas llegó
Hasta la espuma.

Sabe Dios qué angustia
Te acompañó
Qué dolores viejos
Calló tu voz
Para recostarte
Arrullada en el canto
De las caracolas marinas
La canción que canta
En el fondo oscuro del mar
La caracola.

Te vas Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
¿Qué poemas nuevos
Fuíste a buscar?
Una voz antigüa
De viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma
Y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá
Como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar.

Cinco sirenitas
Te llevarán
Por caminos de algas
Y de coral
Y fosforescentes
Caballos marinos harán
Una ronda a tu lado
Y los habitantes
Del agua van a jugar
Pronto a tu lado.

Bájame la lámpara
Un poco más
Déjame que duerma
Nodriza, en paz
Y si llama él
No le digas que estoy
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Y si llama él
No le digas nunca que estoy
Di que me he ido.

Te vas Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
¿Qué poemas nuevos
Fueste a buscar?
Una voz antigua
De viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma
Y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá
Como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar.

Canción con todos



Salgo a caminar por la cintura cosmica del sur

piso en la region mas vegetal del viento y de la luz

siento al caminar toda la voz de America en mi piel

y anda en mi sangre un rio que libera en mi voz su caudal



Sol de Alto Peru, rostro Bolivia, estaño y soledad

un verde Brasil, besa mi chile, cobre y mineral

subo desde el sur hasta la entraña America y total

Pura raiz de un grito detinado a crecer y a estallar



Todas las voces, todas

Todas las manos, todas

toda la sangre puede ser cancion en el viento

canta conmigo, canta

hermano americano

libera tu esperanza con un grito en la voz

RECITADO:

Todas las voces, todas, todas las manos, todas

toda la sangre puede ser cancion en el viento

canta conmigo, canta hermano americano

libera tu esperanza con un grito en la voz

AFI- End Transmission

Από το καινούριο άλμπουμ των AFI Crash Love που κυκλοφόρησε στις 29 Σεπτεμβρίου

Pull the top down, use your knees to drive.
I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky.
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star
Then said "we never can truly know who we are."
Know who we are.

With the lights out and the night inside
The broken radio was playing suicide.
I felt myself falling.
I confessed to you "I saw a body."
You said you'd seen a few.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.

Keep the top down use your knees to drive.
I'll hide these words. They're only yours to find.
You pressed your mouth on mine and said they'd call us stars.
You said "we never can truly know who we are."

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.

Everything was burning bright.
Everyone was frightened.
You said stay strong.
Everybody knowing that what we'd invited
Still remains when we're gone.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, oh.

This night has only just begun.
If there's discretion that you've not abandoned now's the time.
We'll burn to best the morning's son.
Go grab your bag I'll bring the gun, the gun.
I'll bring the gun

Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow

Ελκυστική για τους δημιουργούς ταινιών και τηλεοπτικών σειρών είναι η μουσική των Breaking Benjamin. Για το soundtrack της ταινίας Surrogates επιλέχθηκε το I Will Not Bow, πρώτο σινγκλ από το νέο LP τους Dear Agony που κυκλοφορεί στις 29 Σεπτεμβρίου.


Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

FALL!!!

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive; paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

FALL!!!

Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom

Προάγγελος του νέου τους άλμπουμ είναι για τους Massive Attack το EP Splitting The Atom

The baby was born
Nettles and Ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not a-
'fraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Don't Lose It

Its getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box and they
Paper chase
It never stops
And we'll never learn
No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers have bailed
The mighty retreat
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it or leave
Or what you receive
To what you receive
Is eternited leave

Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Don't lose it

Incandescent light at doors
In adolescent menopause
In little clicks you got the music stops
The needle sticks and the penny drops
The summer's gone before you know
The muffled drums of relentless flow
You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo
The sun's still burning and dust will blow
Honey scars I'll keep you near
Our blood is gold nothing to fear
We killed the time and I love you dear
A kiss of wine we'll disappear
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible

Alice in Chains - A Looking in View

Alice in Chains are back. Μετά από 14 χρόνια κυκλοφορούν νέο άλμπουμ. Το Black Gives Way to Blue θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 29 Σεπτεμβρίου με πρώτο σινγκλ το A Looking in View που κυκλοφορεί από τις 30 Ιουνίου.

Hear footsteps creak the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let 'em in

Life damaged kids to crime
Rundown broke machine
That steals your peace of mind
Before you know it's gone

Lay
Down
Lay

Silence burning
Hold your tongue
Keep a separate
So they'll know

Hiding in the darkness under
Boilling to the surface
Don't go far

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spikes
Dgs you out of me

Lay
Down
Lay

Hiding in the darkness under
Boilling to the surface
Crawling on your skin discomfort
Makes you brake and run, stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
http://www.elyricsworld.com/a_looking_in_view_lyrics_alice_in_chains.html
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me whatevers on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatevers on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatevers on your mind
It's why you never tell me whatevers on your mind

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me whatevers on your mind...

Robin Trower on... Live Shows. from Trower Power on Vimeo.

Εξαιρετικό και το νέο άλμπουμ του Robin Trower - What Lies Beneath που κυκλοφόρησε στις 14 Ιουλίου.

Between The Trees - Miss You

Το δεύτερο άλμπουμ των Between The Trees - Spain είναι και αυτό που τους έκανε γνωστούς (έφτασε το Νο 138 στο Billboard).

I miss you more than you even know.
More than you probly care
More than I ever show to you my dear
At least in words alone
And how does it make you feel to hear me say that I miss you?
How does it make you feel to hear me say ohh ohhh that I
I wanna stand next to you for awhile
I wanna hear you say
I miss you more than you even know
More than I seem to share(?)
Where would I go
If ever you weren't there?
And how does it make you feel
To hear me say that I miss you?
And how does it make you feel
To hear me say ohh
That I, I wanna stand next to you for awhile
I, I wanna hear you say
Oh oh ohohoh
I wanna stand oh,oh, ohohoh
I wanna stand next to you
And I, I wanna stand next to you for awhile
I I wanna hear you say...

Morrissey - Munich Air Disaster 1958

Στις 26 Οκτωβρίου θα κυκλοφορήσει το Swords, μια συλλογή με b-sides από τα σινγκλ των πιο πρόσφατων άλμπουμ του Morrissey – You Are the Quarry (2004), Ringleader of the Tormentors (2006), και Years of Refusal (2009).
Το Munich Air Disaster 1958 αναφέρεται στην τραγωδία που σημάδεψε την ιστορία της Manchester United πριν 51 χρόνια.
Ανάμεσα στα κομμάτια θα είναι και το My Dearest Love που είχαμε παρουσιάσει πριν μερικούς μήνες.

We love them
We mourn for them
Unlucky boys of Red

I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where Mother Nature makes their bed

We miss them
Every night we kiss them
Their faces fixed in our heads

I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them
To where Mother Nature makes their bed

They can't hurt you
Their style will never desert you
Because they're all safely dead

I wish I'd gone down
Gone down with them

Andre Matos - A Lapse In Time

Στην Ιαπωνία πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε το Mentalize νέο άλμπουμ του Andre Matos ενώ πολύ σύντομα αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει στην Ευρώπη και στις άλλες χώρες.

I've never been
The ordinary man
The world begin
Like every story does my friend

I won't come down
To where i was back then
And nice mirage of love
Has matter single in my heart, my friend

But when the white fog descends
Over the meadows of light
And when the milking way descends
And shatters the meadows of light
It's time to stand up, stand up and walk
Walk all alone, down the same road

I could feel again
Cause i long for the answers lost
And i'd change everything
If i could have a lapse in time

And i could feel again
Before going insane for good
I would change all mistakes of mine
With just a lapse in time

Thrice - All The World Is Mad / The Weight

Εξαιρετικό όπως αναμενόταν το νέο άλμπουμ των Thrice, Beggars. Πιο δυναμικό από τα 2 προηγούμενα έχει πάρα πολύ θετική αντιμετώπιση από τη συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των κριτικών. Τα δύο κομμάτια ανοίγουν το άλμπουμ με το All The World Is Mad να αποτελεί και το πρώτο σινγκλ.

All The World Is Mad



We are saints made of plaster, our laughter is canned;
We are demons that hide in the mirror.
But the blood on our hands paints a picture exceedingly clear.

We are brimming with cumbersome, murderous greed,
And malevolence deep and profound.
We do unspeakable deeds, does our wickedness know any bounds?

Something’s gone terribly wrong with everyone;
All the world is mad.
Darkness brings terrible things; the sun is gone
What vanity our sad, wretched fires.

We can’t medicate man to perfection again;
We can’t legislate peace in our hearts.
We can’t educate sin from our souls, it’s been there from the start.

But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits,
Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed.
But of all our iniquities ignorance may be the worst.

Oh, what little light we have!
It only serves to show
The snares and seeds of wrath
We have already sewn on every path.

The Weight



There’s many who’ll tell you they’ll give you their love,
But when they say “Give” they mean “Take.”
They’ll hang ‘round just like vultures till push comes to shove.
They’ll take flight when the earth starts to shake.

Someone may say that they’ll always be true,
Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn.
But I won’t leave you hanging on.
Another may stay till they find someone new,
Then before you know they’ll be gone.
But I won’t leave you hanging on;
No, I won’t be that someone.

And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.

Some talk of destiny, others of fate,
But soon they’ll be saying goodbye.
But I won’t leave you high and dry.
Because a ring don’t mean nothing
If you can’t haul the weight,
And some of them won’t even try,
But I won’t leave you high and dry;
I won’t leave you wondering why.

And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.

And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make
And you’re the one that I have set my heart to choose.
As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through.

And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight. [2x]
