Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
Waterloo sunset's fine

Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra
Según leí hace tiempo, esta canción fue elegida como la más optimista de una selección entre miles, o algo así...El caso es que es un temazo y aunque lo han quemado un poco en las radios generalistas que escuchan muchos viejóvenes (Kiss fm y similares) la incluyo porque ha sido nuevamente masterizada siguiendo las indicaciones de Jeff Lyne, líder, compositor y voz principal y han hecho un nuevo vídeo.
Por lo que escucho, es evidente las masterización (fijaos en el solo de guitarra) y han eliminado la coda del tema original.
Desconozco quién tuvo la genial idea, pero es indudable que actualizar temas antiguos con vídeos modernos es adaptarse a los tiempos: no requiere mucha inversión, es un valor seguro y actualiza al artista para nuevas generaciones; a juzgar por el número de visualizaciones se puede decir que funciona bastante bien.
Espero que os guste
Morning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies
Sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining
Everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day
Hey ay ay!
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue
Sky is living here today
Hey ay ay!
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
And today
Is the day we've waited for
Ooorrr
Oh, Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mister Blue Sky!
Mister Blue Sky
Mister Blue Sky-yiy!
Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind
I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way!
Mr. Blue Sky
Please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue (Sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (Sky)
Look around see what you do (Blue)
Everybody smiles at you
[Instrumental]
[Choir singing]
[Robotic voice:]
Please. Turn. Me. Ov-er

21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
Me acabo de enterar del fallecimiento de Ian McDonald, uno de los fundadores de King Crimson, así que no me queda otra que dedicarle una entrada.
Con este contundente tema habría el disco que cambió la historia del rock progresivo.
Robert Fripp, Ian McDonald, Michael Giles, Greg Lake y Peter Sinfield.
Larga vida el Rey Carmesí.
Descanse en paz
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man
Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man

Distractions - Paul McCartney
Dentro del exitoso álbum Flowers in the Dirt podemos encontrar esta pieza serena y cálida, dulce y sosegada, que quizás se vio eclipsada por el éxito de My Brave Face o This One, pero que es una joya dentro del repertorio del compositor y bajista británico.
El disco es algo irregular pero contiene algunos temas como los antes mencionados y algún otro que son una maravilla.
En él participan algunos de los músicos que luego serán habituales de McCartney (cuando te llaman por tu apellido es que eres un grande) como Robbie McIntosh, Hamish Stuart a las guitarras o Paul "Wix" Wickens con los teclados (quién llega a ser director musical de las giras) y nuevas aportaciones de Chris Whitten (batería y percusión) o Chris White con el saxo (curiosamente estos dos últimos salieron de gira con Dire Straits en el On Every Street Tour. En la producción también colaboraron Elvis Costello o Trevor Horn.

Time away from you?
If you can answer this you can have the moon
This is the place to be, anyway you can see
There's a lovely view
Why are there always so many other things to do?
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head,
When I'm alone I think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions.
The postman's at the door
While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall,
Pretend we're not at home and they'll disappear.
I want to be with you, tell me what I can do,
Nothing is too small
Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.
Distractions like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head.
When I'm alone I think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions.
I'll find a peaceful place far away from the noise of a busy day
Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars,
Distractions like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head.
When I'm alone I think of you
And the things we'd do if only we could be through
With the distractions like butterflies they're
Buzzing round my head, when I'm alone I think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions.
