Love, love will keep us together

Think of me babe whenever

Some sweet talking girl comes along singing her song

Don't mess around,

You gotta be strong

Just Stop [stop], 'cause I really love You

Stop [stop], I'll be thinking of you

Look in my heart and let love keep us together

You, You belong to me now

Ain't gonna set you free now

When those girls start hanging around talking me down

Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound

Just Stop [stop], 'cause I really love you

Stop [stop], I'll be thinking of you

Look in my heart and let love keep us together, what ever.

Young and beautiful

Someday your looks will be gone

When the others turn you off

Who'll be turning you on

I will, I will, I will, I will

Be there to share forever

Love will keep us together

Said it before and I'll say it again while others pretend

I'll need you now and I'll need you then

Stop 'cause I really love Ya

Stop I'll be thinking of Ya

Look in my heart and let love keep us together

I Want to Hold Your Hand - Al Green

Parece increíble que se pueda versionar un tema de The Beatles de esta manera, pero el gran Al Green es capaz de hacerlo.

Hacer irreconocible un tema icónico está al alcance de muy pocos, pero claro, con esa voz y buen gusto es otro cantar...

Espero que os guste

Oh yeah I tell you somethin'

I think you'll understand

When I say that somethin'

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

Oh please say to me

You'll let me be your man

And please say to me

You'll let me hold your hand

Now, let me hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you

I feel happy inside

It's such a feelin' that my love

I can't hide

I can't hide

I can't hide

Yeah, you got that somethin'

I think you'll understand

When I say that somethin'

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you

I feel happy inside

It's such a feelin' that my love

I can't hide

I can't hide

I can't hide

Yeah, you got that somethin'

I think you'll understand

When I feel that somethin'

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

Somebody That I Used to Know - Walk off the Earth (Gotye)

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well, you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that, though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

And I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh)

And I don't even need your love (ooh)

But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh)

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah)

I guess that I don't need that, though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody (I used to know)

Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)

Somebody (I used to know)

Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)

I used to know

That I used to know

I used to know

Somebody

Spare Parts - Bruce Springsteen

Canción con un sonido netamente americano que interpreta el tipo de la voz ronca y rasgada. Perteneciente al álbum Tunnel of Love, el primero tras el éxito de Born in the USA y que incluye temas populares como Brilliant Disguise, Tougher than the Rest o la misma Tunnel of Love que da título al disco. 

Como anécdota me gustaría comentar que Springsteen decidió prescindir de la E-Street Band como acompañantes oficiales (aunque participaran ocasionalmente en algunas canciones) y buena parte de la percusión está creada con una caja de ritmos.

Este vinilo lo compré con mi hermano cuando teníamos unos 13 o 14 años. Recuerdo que tuvimos la genial idea de grabarlo en cinta para después decirle al tipo de la tienda que lo teníamos repetido y nos lo cambiara por otro. 2 x 1. El dependiente nos dijo que trajéramos el repetido y nos lo cambiaba. Y eso no ocurrió, claro.

Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in

Janey had a baby it wasn't any sin

They were set to marry on a summer day

Bobby got scared and he ran away

Jane moved in with her ma out on Shawnee Lake

She sighed Ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake

She settled in in a back room time passed on

Later that winter a son came along

Spare parts

And broken hearts

Keep the world turnin' around

Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night

But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights

Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch

Bobby heard 'bout his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back

Spare parts

And broken hearts

Keep the world turnin' around

Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton

Put her baby in the river let the river roll on

She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay

Got down on her knees cried till she prayed

Mist was on the water low run the tide

Janey held her son down at the riverside

Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone

She lifted him in her arms and carried him home

As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything

Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring

Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash

Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash

Spare parts

And broken hearts

Keep the world turnin' around

Christine McVie

Me acabo de enterar del fallecimiento de Christine McVie, pilar indiscutible en la transición que hizo Fleetwood Mac del blues/rock al pop. O de las islas británicas a Estados Unidos. 

Algunos de los más grandes éxitos del grupo británico/americano fueron compuestos por ella, que en algunas ocasiones también los cantaba. Entre sus muchas canciones que me gustan, me quedo con esta.

Descanse en paz

Can you hear me calling

Out your name?

You know that I'm falling

And I don't know what to say

I'll speak a little louder

I'll even shout

You know that I'm proud

And I can't get the words out

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Something's happening

Happening to me

My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

Come on, baby

We better make a start

You better make it soon

Before you break my heart

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Can you hear me calling

Out your name?

You know that I'm falling

And I don't know what to say

Come along, baby

We better make a start

You better make it soon

Before you break my heart

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

Oh, I

I want to be with you everywhere

(Wanna be with you everywhere)
