Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel

El que una vez fuera el dúo Tom & Jerry y una de las parejas más influyentes de la música popular reinó en los 60 con temas como este Hazy Shade of Winter, que cuenta con algunas versiones de renombre como la realizada por The Bangles (un cañonazo).

Normalmente, Paul Simon se encargaba de las composiciones, las guitarras y las voces de acompañamiento (más graves) y Art Garfunkel interpretaba la voz principal y melódica.

En su corta carrera de 6 años tuvieron tiempo para realizar hasta bandas sonoras, como la de El graduado que fue todo un éxito (atentos a las guitarras en Mrs. Robinson) y disfrutaron de un reconocimiento masivo gracias a temas como The Sounds of Silence, The Boxer, I am a Rock, Cecilia, If I Could, Bridge Over Troubled Water, America y algunos otros.

Espero que os guste

Time, time, time

See what's become of me

While I looked around for my possibilities

I was so hard to please

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter


Hear the Salvation Army band

Down by the riverside

It's bound to be a better ride than what you've got planned

Carry a cup in your hand

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang onto your hopes, my friend

That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away

Simply pretend

That you can build them again

Look around

Grass is high

Fields are ripe

It's the springtime of my life


Seasons change with the scenery

Weaving time in a tapestry

Won't you stop and remember me?


Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around

Leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground

Look around

Leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground

Look around

Leaves are brown

There's a patch of snow on the ground

America - Neil Diamond



FAR, we've been travelin in FAR
Without a home, But not without a star
Free, only one can be free
We huddle close, and hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes, They come into America
Never looking back again, They come into America

Home...though it seems so far away
And we'll travel in the light today,
in the eye of the storm...in the eye of the storm
Home...to a new and a shiny place
Make our beds and we'll say our grace
Freedoms light burnng warm, freedoms light burning warm

Everywhere around the world, they come into Ameria
Every time that flags on the furled, they come into America
Got a dream to take them there, they come into America
Got a dream they come to share, they come into America

4x:
They come in to America
4x:
Today
My country 'tis of thee (today)
Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today)
Of thee I sing (today)

Today, today, today, today, today

A horse with no name - America


On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

America - Simon & Garfunkel



Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America

Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, be careful, his bowtie is really a camera
Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat
We smoked the last one an hour ago
So I looked at the scenery
She read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

Cathy, I'm lost, I said though I knew she was sleeping
And I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America
