La Canción De La Semana "FANTASY" Earth, Wind & Fire


Esta semana toca clásico. Los Earth, Wind & Fire es un grupo necesario para entender la música funk y soul, especialmente desde mediados de los 70 a los primeros 80. Liderados por el gran Maurice White, autor en gran parte del sonido del grupo y con una formación de prácticamente 15 miembros subidos en un escenario, hicieron bailar a toda una generación y lucharon codo a codo con Kool And The Gang para ver quienes se enfrentaban a los poderosos Bee Gees en la era de la música disco.

En 1977 editaban su álbum "All N' All" (preciosa portada a todo color y desplegable) y en él nos encontrábamos con la preciosa "Fantasy" con esos maravillosos arreglos orquestales del gran Eduardo Del Barrio.

Inmortales EW&F.

Feliz escucha, feliz semana.


Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true right away

And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one

Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to the kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship, fantasize
All your dreams will come true miles away

Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will live love forever, as one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life, a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one, come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review

And as you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day, shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
I'm free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review

El Titular : El Gobierno Planea Otorgar La Residencia A Quienes Compren Pisos De 160.000 Euros


Uno ya no debería sorprenderse por casi nada, estar curado de espantos, pero es que cada día en este país es un nuevo y lamentable espectáculo. El titular esta vez va sobre las medidas que está tomando el gobierno del Sr. Rajoy para tratar de vender los pisos que permanecen vacíos y cerrados... y a la vez, matando dos pájaros de un tiro, marcar más aún las diferencias entre los inmigrantes, según de donde vengan (y la pasta que traigan).

A cambio de comprar un piso de 160.000 euros en adelante el inmigrante obtendría automáticamente el permiso de residencia. Dicen que no pueden poner un precio más barato ya que "se generaría una demanda masiva" (¿no es vender los pisos lo que se busca?) y que se enfoca está iniciativa hacia los mercados chinos (que hacen poco ruido) y rusos (que están podridos de pasta y llenarían nuestro país de mas prostíbulos).

Al pobre inmigrante que lleva años aquí ganándose la vida como puede ya no sólo les niegan la atención sanitaria, si no que también les ponen ahora mas trabas ante posibilidad de convertirse en "legales".

Podría seguir comentando pero prefiero no hacerlo. Tan sólo decir que la fotografía que he puesto en este nuevo post es de un grupo de emigrantes españoles llegando a Alemania SIN PAPELES (no todos viajaban con trabajo asegurado como algunos nos quieren hacer creer) y con el único propósito de ganarse la vida para mandar a sus familias lo ganado con el sudor de sus frentes.

La Canción De La Semana "ADIA" Sarah McLachlan


Estaba la tarde del domingo liado con algunos papeleos mientras tenía la VH1 de fondo. Este fin de semana se lo dedicaban a lo mejor de la década de los 90 e iban sonando éxito tras éxito, algunos de ellos ya auténticos clásicos y de repente aparece esta señorita llamada Sarah McLachlan y canta esta maravillosa canción titulada "Adia" y me deja bobo.

La historia va sobre una chica que le pide perdón a una amiga por haberse enamorado de su ex, pero a parte del "zorrerío" hay una belleza melódica que ciertamente pertenece a otra época. Si; todas las décadas tienen sus grandes temas pero yo aún estoy esperando a descubrir alguno mas de la pasada y tengo mas bien poca fe en la actual.

En fin, siempre nos quedará volver atrás... Feliz escucha, feliz semana.



Adia I do believe I failed you
Adia I know I've let you down
Don't you know I tried so hard
To love you in my way
It's easy let it go

Adia I'm empty since you left me
Trying to find a way to carry on
I search myself and everyone
To see where we went wrong

'Cause there's no one left to finger
There's no one here to blame
There's no one left to talk to, honey
And there ain't no one to buy our innocence

'Cause we are born innocent
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
Does it matter?

Adia I thought that we could make it
But I know I can't change the way you feel
I leave you with your misery
A friend who won't betray
I pull you from your tower
I take away your pain
And show you all the beauty you possess
If you'd only let yourself believe that

We are born innocent
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter, does it matter?
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
'Cause we are born innocent
Adia we are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter, but does it matter?

'Cause we are born innocent
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
Does it matter?

Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
'Cause we are born innocent
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter
does it matter?

La Canción De La Semana "GIRL NEXT DOOR" Musiq Soulchild featuring Ayana



Uno esperaba mayores logros de este muchacho desde que salió a escena en el año 2000. Siempre ha sido destacado como un artista bastante dotado pero a pesar de algunos buenos temas nunca, hasta la fecha, ha tenido un álbum totalmente redondo.

"Girl Next Door" fue el tercer single de su primer Lp y aunque tampoco impactó fuertemente en las listas siempre me gustó. Además el tema es muy bonito; esa amiga de la infancia que siempre fue para ti un colega mas y que cuando se hace mayor... pues eso; cambia la cosa.

Feliz escucha, feliz semana.



Oh, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

Girl I'm so surprised to see
The young, fine woman that you grew up to be
Your body's banging like a 400SE
Even your attitude flows pleasantly
I remember when you was just Tonya Hall
A girl that likes to play basketball
As far as I was concern, you were one of my boys
I never cared about my sex or yours but

If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

I'm happy to see
That you're home from school
And I wanna let you know that I'm proud of you
Even when we was younger I admired you
That's why I always used to pick fights with you
I remember when we used to call each other names
Mimic old tv shows and play those childish games
Like I was your Tarzan and you were my Jane
Can we do that nowadays?

If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

[Ayana]
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
Spent a little time with you
I would've dressed cuter too
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
I would've been on your team
When we played hide and seek
Instead of you chasing me

[Ayana (Musiq)]
You're so fly now
(Girl stop playing)
I didn't know you were that guy now
(Naw I ain't)
Phat car, phat life
Impressed I am
Oh maybe we could jam like we used to baby

If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

[Ayana & Musiq]
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
If I would've knew the boy next door
Would've been you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
Oh I would've spent a little more time getting to know you
Baby I would've been more gentle

If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I would've been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love
