Top 10 songs ever

Hoy tengo sábado DJ, y como hicieron los de la revista The Rolling Stone con su lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos, me ha parecido divertido hacerme con el Youtube mi propio Top Ten de las canciones que más me gustan de todos los tiempos. Ahí van:

1.Smells like teen spirit. Nirvana. 1991
Esta canción es grunge puro y el vídeo una pasada, una declaración total. Para mí son el mejor grupo de rock de la historia.


   My way. Frank Sinatra. 1969
Esta canción comparte podium con Nirvana. No me canso de escucharla. Hay muchas versiones y todas son bonitas, pero cómo la canta Frank Sinatra no se puede igualar. En realidad ,es una adaptación al inglés hecha por Paul Anka de una canción francesa. Cada vez que la escucho me dan ganas de hacerme un karaoke.


And now, the end is near;
and so i face the final curtain.
my friend, i'll say it clear,
i'll state my case, of which i'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
i've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
but more, much more than this,
i did it my way.
Regrets, i've had a few;
but then again, too few to mention.
i did what i had to do
and saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
each careful step along the byway,
but more, much more than this,
i did it my way.
Yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
when i bit off more than i could chew.
but through it all, when there was doubt,
i ate it up and spit it out.
i faced it all and i stood tall;
and did it my way.
I've loved, i've laughed and cried.
i've had my fill; my share of losing.
and now, as tears subside,
i find it all so amusing.
To think i did all that;
and may i say - not in a shy way,
"no, oh no not me,
i did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
if not himself, then he has naught.
to say the things he truly feels;
and not the words of one who kneels.
the record shows i took the blows -
and did it my way!


2. Forever young. Youth Group. 2006
Esta canción es preciosa y se la he dedicado a Xabier en la entrada anterior.


3. Como el agua. Camarón. 1981
Esta canción que pertenece al disco de La Leyenda del Sur, me lleva ahí, al Sur y Camarón la canta con el corazón.


4. Summertime. Janis Joplin. 1968
Janis Joplin se dejaba la piel cuando cantaba, tenía una garganta y una sensibilidad que lo flipas. Esta canción, que no es original suya, es puro verano.


5. Where is my mind. The Pixies. 1988
Son los padres de Nirvana y esta canción del disco Surfer rosa es puro indie. Y por eso me gusta.


6. Heroes. David Bowie. 1977
Esta canción tiene una letra preciosa: We can be heroes just for one day. En este vídeo David Bowie la canta superelegante.


7. Caresse sur l'Ocean. Les Choristes. 2004
Es parte de la banda sonora de la película francesa Los chicos del coro (2004). Toda la banda sonora es preciosa pero esta canción es mi preferida por el solo que hace este niño que se llama Jean-Baptiste Maunier.  


8. Start me up. The Rolling Stones. 1981
Junto con Nirvana, son mi grupo favorito. Esta es un subidón de canción. Te dan ganas de ponerte a bailar.



9. Caruso. Luciano Pavarotti. 1986
No es que me guste mucho la ópera aunque esta canción no es en realidad ópera, pero cuando la escucho es como estar en Italia y es algo especial. La escribió en 1986  un compositor italiano, Lucio Dalla.



10. Knocking on Heaven's doors. Guns N Roses. 1991
Esta canción la escribió Bob Dylan, pero la versión que hacen Guns N Roses es la que me gusta. De hecho, Bob Dylan no me gusta mucho y Guns N Roses tampoco. Pero esta canción cantada por Guns N Roses me encanta.


Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
 
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
 
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door


Dedicada a Xabier



Forever young es una canción que escribió Alphaville, un grupo de los ochenta, y que han versioneado muchos, pero esta versión de Youth Group es la que más me gusta. Y el video es precioso.

Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us stay young or let us live forever
we don't have the power, but we never say never
sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
the music's for the sadman
Can you imagine when this race is won
turn out all the faces into the sun
praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
the music's played by the madman
Forever young
i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
forever
forever young,
I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
forever young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
i don't want to perish like a fading horse
years like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever
So many advantages given up today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams swinging out of the blue
oh let it come true
Chorus...
Solo...
Chorus..


MGMT : Time To Pretend



I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life.
Let’s make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.
Yeah, it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend

I’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I’ll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I’ll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I’ll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone.

There’s really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we’ll get a divorce
We’ll find some more models, everyting must run it’s course.

We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

MGTM: KIDS



 
You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud,
But your voice is too loud

We like to watch you laughing,
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted
To be haunted

The water is warm
But it’s sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention

The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made
And not bought,
But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot.
I guess not
