15 errores de grabación en canciones muy conocidas

David Hartley explica algunos míticos errores que se mantuvieron tras la grabación. Incluye canciones de The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bill Withers, David Bowie, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, The Police, Peter Gabriel, The Who, Billy Joel, Prince, Guns N' Roses, Christina Aguilera y James Blunt.

Conocía las pifias de Wish You Were Here y Roxanne, pero no sabía hasta que punto eran o no intencionadas. Curioso lo de Ain´t no Sunshine y Sweet Child O´Mine.

Sinead O´Connor

Ayer falleció la cantante que popularizó Nothing Compares to You, tema compuesto por Prince (al que ya dediqué una entrada) y cuya prometedora carrera se vio interrumpida cuando decidió romper una foto del Papa en directo: ver vídeo.

Aunque después disfrutó de relativa notoriedad y prestigio, no volvió a repetir el éxito de esta canción.

Descanse en paz

Love...Thy Will Be Done - Martika

Esto es un temazo como la copa de un pino (incluso a pesar de esa batería con demasiada reverb que se hace un poco pesada). 

Tras el éxito de su primer disco con Toy´s Soldiers, en su segunda y última publicación Martika volvió a lo más alto de las listas de éxitos con este single compuesto a medias con Prince y producido por el genio de Mineápolis; de hecho en esta grabación se escuchan unos coros que parecen cantados por él.

Desconozco porque no continuó con su carrera en solitario, pero tras su segundo disco tan sólo tiene algunas colaboraciones y composiciones para otros artistas y la creación de un grupo llamado Oppera que no tuvo apenas relevancia.

Prince tiene su propia versión de este tema que podéis escuchar aquí. 

Espero que os guste

Love... Thy will be done

I can no longer hide, I can no longer run

No longer can I resist Your guiding light

That gives me the power to keep up the fight

Oh Lord, Love... Thy will be done

Since I have found U, my life has just begun

And I see all of Your creations as one perfect complex

No one less beautiful or more special than the next

We are all blessed and so wise to accept

Thy will, Love, be done

Love... Thy will be mine

And make me strive for the glorious and divine

I could not be more, more satisfied (Satisfied)

Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside

And that why I no longer run (I no longer run)

Love... Thy will be done

Love... Thy will be done

I can no longer hide, I can no longer run

Oh Love... Thy will be done

Thy will, Love, be done

Oh, no longer can I resist (No)

The guiding light (Guiding light)

The light that gives me power to keep up the fight

I couldn't be more satisfied (No)

Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside

And that's why I can no longer run

Love, thy will be done

Love, thy will be done

Love, thy will be done

Oh!

Love... Thy will be done

I can no longer hide, I can no longer run

Oh Love... Thy will be done

Thy will, Love, be done

Oh Love... Thy will be done

I can no longer hide, I can no longer run

Oh Love... Thy will be done (Sing it)

Thy will, Love, be done (Glory, glory, glory)

Thy will, Love, be done (Glory)

Thy will, Love, be done

Nothing Compares 2 U - The Family

Y, por último, volvemos al comienzo. La grabación del proyecto paralelo de Prince, The Family, en cuyo albúm homónimo se publicó este tema por primera vez.

It's been seven hours and 15 days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose

 

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

 

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you

 

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"
But he's a fool

 

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you

 

All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

 

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Nothing Compares 2U - Sinéad O'Connor

Como ayer colgué la versión original e inédita de Prince, hoy posteo la canción que todos conocemos y que demuestra varias cosas: una de ellas, es que un artista puede hacer propio un tema ajeno, porque aquí la voz de Sinead O´Connor es un verdadero lamento (el vídeo también ayuda) y también un derroche de sensibilidad y excelente fraseo. 

Otra cosa que queda demostrada es que un buen arreglista puede cambiar un tema y dar un aire bastante diferente a la versión original; en este caso, básicamente eliminando elementos del "barroquismo pop" de Prince.

Cuando se empezó a escuchar esta canción en las emisoras de radio, yo era un adolescente y recuerdo que se oía por todas partes, a todas horas...También contribuyó la Mtv a su difusión.  

 

Sinead pasó a ser una estrella y se cuenta que Prince estaba algo dolido por el éxito de esta canción cantada por la irlandesa y que su versión pasara sin pena ni gloria en el álbum The Family del proyecto paralelo de Prince del mismo nombre.
