God Only Knows - The Beach Boys

Ayer falleció Brian Wilson, uno de los grandes creadores de la música popular del S. XX. 

Descanse en paz

 I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Ill make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows

Love Wars - Womack & Womack

Uno de los primeros singles que sacó el dúo Womack & Womack, formado por el matrimonio Linda y Cecil Womack, fue este Love Wars, perteneciente al álbum del mismo título y lanzado en 1983.

Cecil formó parte de un grupo llamado The Valentinos junto a sus hermanos, que gozó de un razonable éxito y trabajaron con Sam Cooke, cuya hija Linda se casaría posteriormente con Cecil y pasarían a formar el dúo musical.

 Espero que os guste

Love wars
Love wars

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But it's taking me under
Since you're not here
Oh, and I feel so all alone tonight

It's better when it's harder to get
But this hide and go seek
Is making me weep
Oh, we call over now

I promise to stop boxing you round
So don't scratch my face
End of the eight
Oh, the fight is all over now

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Love wars (No, we don't need)
Love wars

The talks we have don't change a thing
They only bring rain
On top of pain
Oh, it's raining in my heart now

Flashbacks and uncovered tracks
From when you left
With my best friend

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Make love and peace
And, baby, never cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
And stop these

Love wars (We don't need)
Love wars (Love wars)
Love wars (And be strong now)
Love wars (Ow!)

Love wars (We don't need)
Love wars (Love wars)
Love wars (Could it be all over now?)
Love wars (Come on back home, darling)

Love bombs explodin' in air
Until the last one
I don't care

I remember losing my head
And calling you things
Like dirty names
Oh, and I feel bad about it, baby

We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor

Make love and peace
And, baby, never cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on

Love wars (No!)
Love wars (We can't stand, no)
Love wars (Just come on out)
Love wars (I don't want no love wars)

If You Could Read My Mind - Varios

La original: Gordon Lightfoot


 Versión disco: Viola Wills

 

Versión jazz: Diana Krall

 

Versión Johnny Cash:

 
 
 
 

Versión Cher:

 

Versión Stars on 54:

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
