Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence

 



To "The Sound of Silence" των Simon & Garfunkel διασκευάζουν θαυμάσια στο καινούριο τους άλμπουμ Immortalized οι 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."

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Oh Susannah / Clementine / Jesus' Chariot (She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain") / God Save The Queen

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.

 Oh Susannah



Oh Susannah, oh Susannah
Oh Susannah, oh Susannah
Oh Susannah, oh Susannah
Oh Susannah, oh Susannah
[then repeated constantly throughout verses]

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!





Jesus' Chariot (She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain")



She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes
She'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain,
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes

She'll be driving six white horses when she comes
She'll be driving six white horses when she comes
She'll be driving six white horses, she'll be driving six white horses,
She'll be driving six white horses when she comes

Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes

Oh, we'll all go out to meet her, we'll all go out to meet her,
We'll all go out to meet her when she comes

She'll be wearing red pajamas when she comes
She'll be wearing red pajamas when she comes

She'll be wearing red pajamas, she'll be wearing red pajamas,
She'll be wearing red pajamas when she comes

She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes
She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes
She will have to sleep with Grandma, she will have to sleep with Grandma,
She will have to sleep with Grandma when she comes

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!)

(Let freedom ring!) x3

Glenn Frey - The Shadow of Your Smile

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 
I Now when I remember spring, 
all the joy that love can bring  
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

Hooverphonic with Orchestra - Mad About You /

 Στις 9 Μαρτίου κυκλοφόρησαν το νέο τους άλμπουμ Hooverphonic with Orchestra οι Βέλγοι Hooverphonic.

 
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

Jimmy Gnecco - Mystery

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

 

Hanne Boel - A Thousand Kisses Deep / Funny How Time Slips Away

Με τη διασκευή του A Thousand Kisses Deep του Leonard Cohen αρχίζει το καινούριο άλμπουμ της Hanne Boel, The Shining Of Things   που κυκλοφόρησε πρόσφατα. Στό άλμπουμ υπάρχει επίσης και διασκευή του Funny How Time Slips Away του  Willie Nelson που τραγουδά σε ντουέτο με το Mario Biondi.

A Thousand Kisses Deep



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

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

OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL

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.

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go

And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Before your father hears us
Before.. all hell.. breaks loose.

A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one
In everlasting peace

We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke

Judy Collins - Ghost Riders In The Sky

-



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

Children are sharing
Little loves loving, all little boys and girls

Children are singing
The truths that they're bringing
Freedom is ringing all 'round the world

Come let us meet them
Ah, yes, we will greet them

Little hands clapping
Children are caring
Piper is calling all over the world

Out in the street
The sick that you meet
How many friends do you call your own?

Come let us meet them
Yes, we will greet them

Children are clapping
Children are caring
Children are shattering records and rules

Little hands caring
Little hands sharing
The old ones and the gold ones and the family jewels

Come let us meet them
Yes, we will greet them

Little hands clapping
Children are happy
Little hands loving all 'round the world

Little hands clasping
Truth they are grasping
A world with no pain for one and all

And they are learning
Their souls, they are yearning
A nice place to play and no place to fall

Come let us meet them
Ah, yes, we will greet them
