Hidden Treasures #3: Stereophonics "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

Esta es la INCREIBLE versión con la Jools Holland Orchestra, incluida en la edición especial de su recopilatorio Decade In The Sun, publicado el año pasado.

Kelly Jones, ladies & gentlemen, Kelly Jones

Stereophonics & Jools Holland Orchestra "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
your face, your face

Hidden Treasures #2 Pearl Jam, "Off He Goes"

Pocos músicos consigues producciones más directas, apasionadas y equilibradas que nuestros amigos de Seattle.

En esta canción Eddie nos regala sus habituales descripciones personales, sinceras y directas, llenas de vida y a la vez nos las entrega con la melancolía que transmite la "mejor voz de su generación".
La canción , parece ser, que va sobre la relación de Eddie con su "yo" famoso, aquel que debe sacar de vez en cuando delante del público y la prensa...

(pincha en la imagen para escuchar la canción)

"Off He Goes"

1, 2, 1, 2...
know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so i approach with tact
suggest that he should relax
but he's always moving much too fast
said he'll see me on the flipside
on this trip he's taken for a ride
he's been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
there he goes...
he's yet to come back
but i've seen his picture
it doesn't look the same up on the rack
we go way back
i wonder about his insides
its like his thoughts are too big for his size
he's been taken... where, i don't know?
off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
and there he goes...
and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles...
and he's still strong
nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he's home
and we're laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend
until a quarter-to-ten
i saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next
before his first step
he's off again

Hidden Treasures #1 Bon Jovi, "These Days"

No estoy muy seguro de que todos vayan a estar "escondidos", ser poco conocidos o simplemente ignorados, pero creo que deben escucharse para hacerse una idea de lo que me gusta.
Habrá de todo.
Sólo es necesario tener una cuenta de spotify para poder disfrutarlo. Si no la tenéis, dejarme un comentario.

Hidden treasures #1 Bon Jovi, "These Days"


Canción que da título al disco más oscuro (al menos líricamente) de la banda de New Jersey. Sí, lo sé, me gustan Bon Jovi y hubo una época en la que hubiese defendido su honor en el patio, detras de la biblio, a las 2 y hasta que uno de los dos sangrara.

El mejor trabajo de Jon como letrista, así como una de sus canciones más sinceras. La banda está como siempre, de 11.

Como sé que los pocos que leen este blog entienden inglés, no creo que sea necesario traducir las letras.




These Days song

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days

She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's"
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try"
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away

These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days

I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keepd turning round and round and round and round
These days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days

These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days
