Txantxu (ver su myspace) es un cantante moralo (de Navalmoral de la Mata) que no es que esté empezando, pero tampoco es que se conozca mucho, todavía, de su obra.
Recientemente ha grabado un EP en los estudios Music Lan de Girona (Cerca de Figueres), estudios donde han grabado gente tan reconocida como Loquillo, Quimi Portet, Jarabe de Palo, Andrés Calamaro, Manolo García o Bunbury. Dicho EP tiene como título PARAISOS PROSCRITOS. Esta es la portada del disco y haciendo click en ella puedes descargar las 6 canciones que lo componen para que las disfrutéis:
Las canciones son:
Retrospectiva
Discontinuas rectas curvas (con Laura)
Femme Fatale
Quiero verte
Ciudadano cero
Si los fantasmas callan
Espero que os guste. al menos, tanto como a Duly y a mí.
Esta semana se ha publicado el retiro definitivo de la música de uno de los grandes, Phil Collins, uno de los fundadores de uno de los mejores grupos de la historia de la música: GENESIS.
Por ese motivo quiero dedicar este sábado la canción del finde a este gran autor con una de sus canciones preferidas por mi: Jesus he knows me.
En el videoclip parodian a los telepredicadores y las estafas que llevan a cabo:
La letra:
You see the face on the tv screen
Coming at you every sunday
See that face on the billboard
That man is me
On the cover of the magazine
Theres no question why Im smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me
Ill get you everything you wanted
Ill get you everything you need
Dont need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me
Cos jesus he knows me
And he knows Im right
Ive been talking to jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows Im right
And hes been telling me
Everything is alright
I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she dont know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in god
Cos thats what Im selling
And if you wanna get to heaven
Ill see you right
You wont even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You dont even have to touch that dial
Cos Im everywhere
And jesus he knows me
And he knows Im right
Ive been talking to jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows Im right
Well hes been telling me
Everythings gonna be alright
Wont find me practising what Im preaching
Wont find me making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, dont do as I do
Im counting my blessings,
Ive found true happiness
Cos Im getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book,
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away
Therell be no doubt in your mind
Youll believe everything Im saying
If you wanna get closer to him
Get on your knees and start paying
Cos jesus he knows me
And he knows Im right
Ive been talking to jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows Im right
Well hes been telling me
Everythings gonna be alright, alright
La canción de esta semana es otra de esas que se escuchan, y si no la conoces, se pegan, por su estribillo sencillo y por su melodía altamente pegadiza…
No obstante es el tema de un anuncio de televisión, concretamente de un coche, un jaguar, aunque también esá incluida en la Banda Sonora de la película “Sé lo que hicisteis el último verano” y se trata de una versión de Deep Purple de 1968.
Se trata de Hush, interpretado por Kula Shaker:
La letra:Na na na naa…na na naa na naa…
Na na na naa…na na naa na naa…
Well I got a silly little girl, she’s on my mind
Look at her, she looks so fine
She’s a best girl I’ve ever had
Except that she’s gonna make me feel so sad
Na na na naa…na na naa na naa…
Na na na naa…na na naa na naa…
Hush, hush…I thought heard you’re calling my name now
Hush, hush…you broke my heart but that was a dream now
Hush, hush…I thought I heard you’re calling my name now
Hush, hush…you broke my heart but that was a dream now
Early in the morning, late in the evening
Oh gotta believe me honey, I never was a dreamer
Hush, hush…I thought heard you’re calling my name now
Hush, hush…you broke my heart but that was a dream now
Hush, hush…I thought I heard you’re calling my name now
Hush, hush…you broke my heart but that was a dream now
Early in the morning, late in the evening
ohhh yeah…
Na na na naa na na naa na naaa…
Na na na naa na na naa na naaa…
Naaaaa naa naa naaaaa naa naa naaaaa naa naa naaaaaaa…
Esta canción la pongo esta semana ni más ni menos porque no soy capaz de quitármela de la cabeza.
Ya sé que es un producto pre-fabricado, un producto OT (aunque sea de otro país), pero es que me gusta… será la voz, será el ritmo…
La canción es Mercy de Duffy.

La letra:
Yeah Yeah Yeah x4
I love you

Chorus
You got me begging you for mercy

El 4º disco de Manolo García tendrá como título “Saldremos a la lluvia” y este es el videoclip de “No estés triste”, el primer single:
Descarga aquí el audio(mp3 - 256 kbps, mediante emule)
y el vídeo aquí(formato avi - divx, mediante emule)
La letra:
Prueba a ser una nube, a flotar,alcotán sobre praderas.
prueba a surcar ríos, a luchar por ellos,
a sentirte arcilla y caña de ribera.
laurel en gota que espejea.
Y errar cometa vegetal sin hilos
prueba a surcar ríos aunque el agua solo llegue a tus rodillas
o te cubra y esté fría.
Verás que hay más
que la corona de espinas bajo la que te resguardas,
verás que hay más,
verás que el mundo gira más…
Por eso no estés triste, amor.
por eso no estés triste…
por eso no estés triste amor,
que no estés triste.
Antes que la tristeza sea de suela de zapato
humildad y camino
o letra de abecedario,
ser látigo y restallar a la modorra los sentimientos,
ladera para que resbalen las penas.
Por eso no estés triste, amor.
por eso no estés triste…
por eso no estés triste amor,
que no estés triste.
Prueba a ser arlequín,
regalar inasible tu entereza.
prueba a surcar ríos, a luchar por ellos,
sentir que reverdeces, que creces en la entrega.
tropel, caudal de mieles turbias,
barquito liberado a la corriente.
Prueba a surcar ríos aunque sean ramblas de cantos
si consigues alejarte de ti misma…
Verás que hay más
que son rosarios de lamentos bajo los que te marchitas,
verás que hay más
verás que el mundo gira más.
Por eso no estés triste, amor.
Por eso no estés triste…
por eso no estés triste amor,
que no estés triste.
Si la semana pasada la canción era una rockera y muy movida, esta semana lo contrario, una canción que me relaja bastante.
Champagne Supernova, de Oasis. Se dice que Noel Gallagher (autor de la canción) obtuvo el título al escuchar mal el nombre de un álbum de “Pixies”, Bossanova, mientras veía un documental de champagne. Otras versiones dicen que la historia de “Champagne Supernova” es la experiencia de fumar marihuana mientras se toma champagne.
Este es el videoclip:
La letra:
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
‘Cuz we don’t believe
That they’re gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world’s still spinning around we don’t know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i
(guitar solo)
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
‘Cuz we don’t believe
That they’re gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world’s still spinning around we don’t know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i
(a really long guitar solo)
(background - sounds like a bunch of “No”’s)
(birds chirping)
(more guitar)
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high <– 9 times, background “Oooh-oooh”
(Fades out 7th-9th times to just one “Oooh-oooh”)
(Song gets really quiet, fades to a peaceful guitar solo.)
Hoy una canción que siempre me da un poco de subidón, por el ritmo, sobre todo.
Se trata de “Do you remember rock and roll radio” de The Ramones:
La letra:
Rock’n, rock’n'roll radio Let’s go
Rock’n, rock’n'roll radio Let’s go
Rock’n, rock’n'roll radio Let’s go
Rock’n, rock’n'roll radio Let’s go
Do you remember Hullabaloo,
Upbeat, Shinding and Ed Sullivan too?
Do you remember rock’n'roll radio?
Do you remember rock’n'roll radio?
Do you remember Murray the K,
Alan Freed, and high energy?
It’s the end, the end of the 70’s
It’s the end, the end of the century
Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin’ so no one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock’s just part of the past
‘Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and OI Moulty?
It’s the end, the end of the 70’s
It’s the end, the end of the century
Esta semana la canción del finde se la dedico a Duly.
Este es uno de sus grupos favoritos y cuando supimos que el nuevo disco de Manolo García lo había grabado en Grecia, enseguida nos vino a la mente esta canción.
Se trata del grupo griego Eleftheria Arvanitaki y la canción es “Dinata dinata”:
La letra:
Dynata Dynata!
San gyneka gena sto xoma i nyxta to prwh
Ki ola antexoun 3ana kai ginontai zwi
Pia palia kivotos mes ap tou xronou tis stoes
Vgazi akoma sto fos zevgaria anapnoes
Dynata Dynata, ginan ola dynata, ta dynata
Dynata Dynata, se ena theama gymno
Dynata Dynata, ki opos pane tou xorou ta bimata
Me ta xeria anixta ola ta perifrono
Den oiparxoun polla pou na ta xtisoume mazi
Kita kita psila, ta lysame mazi
Pia palia kivotos mes ap tou xronou tis stoes
Vgazi akoma sto fws zevgaria anapnoes
Dynata Dynata, ginan ola dynata, ta dynata
Dynata Dynata, se ena theama gymno
Dynata Dynata, ki opos pane tou xorou ta bimata
Me ta xeria anixta ola ta perifrono
Ki olo kati leo kapia agapi kleo
Ki ola mesa mou thrino xalasmata
Me ta xronia mou sta sentonia mou
Sa fantasmata
San gyneka gena sto xoma h nyxta to proi
Ki ola antexoun xana kai ginontai zoi
Pia palia kivotos mes ap tou xronou tis stoes
Vgazi akoma sto fws zevgaria anapnoes
Dynata Dynata, ginan ola dynata, ta dynata
Dynata Dynata, s ena theama gymno
Dynata Dynata, ki opos pane tou xorou ta bimata
Me ta xeria anixta ola ta perifrono
