I´m Not In Love - 10 CC

Este prodigio de la grabación en estudio es el mayo éxito de la banda británica 10 cc, aunque conviene recordar que en los años 70 eran una banda muy popular.

Todos los miembros originales de 10cc (Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley y Lol Creme) eran o son multinstrumentistas, cantantes, compositores, productores...La lista de colaboraciones con otros artistas y grupos es interminable.

Espero que os guste


I'm not in love 
So don't forget it 
It's just a silly phase I'm going through 
And just because I call you up 
Don't get me wrong 
Don't think you've got it made 
I'm not in love 
No, no 
It's because 

I'd like to see you 
But then again 
It doesn't mean you mean that much to me 
So if I call you 
Don't make a fuss 
Don't tell your friends about the two of us 
I'm in love 
No, no 
It's because 

(Be quiet...big boys don't cry...) 

I keep your picture 
Upon the wall 
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there 
So don't you ask me 
To give it back 
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me 
I'm not in love 
No, no 
It's because 

Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me 
Ooh, you'll wait a long time 

I'm not in love, I'm not in love

Why Worry - Mark Knopfler

The Everly Brothers fueron una influencia para muchos músicos, incluyendo Mark Knopfler o The Beatles, como ya declararon en alguna ocasión.

Desde luego, en este tema es evidente la huella del lado más romántico del famoso dúo americano, quienes también tenían algunos temas más movidos teniendo en cuenta la época. 
 
Curiosamente, en este vídeo sale otro de los personajes más idolatrados del guitarrista escocés que no es otro que el mítico Chet Atkins, quién influyó en su manera de tocar la guitarra.

Espero que os guste


Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey

Why worry? There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?

Baby, when I get down, I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

Why worry? There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?

As around the sun, the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing, will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day?

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always

As today, I know I'm living, but tomorrow
Could make me the past, but that, I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Always)
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Did you know you're loved by somebody?)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Always)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (I'll be loving you forever)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Always)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Always)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)

We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truth and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Loving you)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Loving you)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Be loving you)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Loving you)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Loving you)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Loving you)
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Loving you)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Be loving you)
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Loving you)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Loving you)
Until the day that you are me and I am you (Now ain't that loving you?)
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Ain't that loving you?)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (And I've got to say always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Always)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more (Always)
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Always)
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you

Eurythmics - Thorn In My Side

He estado buscando esta canción durante décadas; recordaba al estribillo y poco más: sabía que la cantaba Annie Lennox, pero no estaba seguro de si en su carrera en solitario o en Eurythmics. Antes había formado parte del grupo The Tourists, donde también estaba Dave Stewart (el otro miembro de Eurythmics) pero sabía que no era de este grupo.
 
Supongo que el tema lo había escuchado en la emisora Radio 80 serie oro y he realizado diferentes búsquedas en Youtube hasta que hace poco lo encontré comprobando una por una todas las canciones que encontré de la diva escocesa.
 
Os dejo con este temazo.
 
Espero que os guste

Golden Brown - Mariachi Mexteca (now known as The Mariachis) feat. Hugh Cornwell

El cantante de The Stranglers se alía con The Mariachis para interpretar uno de sus célebres temas. 
 
Espero que os guste 
 

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown


Every time, just like the last
On her ship, tied to the mast
To distant lands, takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown, finer temptress
Through the ages, she's heading west
From far away, stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown (Never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown)
(With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown)
(With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown)
(With golden brown) Never a frown (Never a frown)
(Never a frown) With golden brown (With golden brown)

California Dreaming - Bobby Womack

Formidable versión del mítico tema de The Mamas & the Papas a cargo del no menos mítico productor, compositor y cantante Bobby Womack

Los aportes del músico en la instrumentación y los arreglos y la increíble voz que tiene hacen que parezca otra canción.

Espero que os guste

All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (And the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (On a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (If I was in L.A.)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (Got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher liked the cold (Preacher liked the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (Knows I'm gonna stay)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (And the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (On a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (If I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

Heart of Gold - Neil Young

Tema mítico dónde los haya y una de mis canciones de folk/rock preferidas. 

Temazo.

Perteneciente al también mítico Harvest del músico canadiense, Heart of Gold fue número uno durante mucho tiempo y es quizás la canción más conocida del experimentado músico, que formó parte de bandas como Buffalo Springfield y fue el Young de Crosby, Stills, Nash y Young.

Maestría al ejecutar la guitarra con unos sencillos pero eficaces acordes y maestría con la armónica.

Según parece, Bob Dylan, que era o es amigo de Young, decía esto cuando se lanzó el tema:

“I used to hate it when it came on the radio. I always liked Neil Young, but it bothered me every time I listened to ‘Heart of Gold.’ I think it was up at number one for a long time, and I’d say, ‘Shit, that’s me. If it sounds like me, it should as well be me’,” 

Espero que os guste



I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching and I'm growing old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
