Thought of You

Sunrise

Sunrise
Sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise
Sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said
Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you

Surprise
Surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise
Surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

Then I say
Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you

And now the night
Will throw its cover down, ooo, on me again
Ooh, and if I'm right
It's the only way

To bring me back

Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you
Hooo, yeah, hooo, hooo
To you

The Mountain

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.

Este video recoge diversos parajes de la isla de Tenerife (mi isla) y las maravillas que sus cielos pueden ofrecer a quienes suban a contemplarlos desde sus montañas. Sin duda alguna, de los mejores sitios en el mundo para los que gusten de la astrofotografía. Todo mi reconocimiento a su autor por haber plasmado de manera inmejorable las bellezas naturales de esta tierra.

Too afraid to love you

My gears they grind
More each day
And I feel like
They're gonna grind away

And the city blocks
They drive me wild
They're never ending
Mile after mile

I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

It's heaven on earth
In her embrace
Her gentle touch
And her smiling face

I'm just one wishing
That I was a pair
With someone
Oh somewhere

I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think he's here to stay
What more can I do
I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye

The Black Keys: Brothers (Shock Records, 2010).

Crystal Frontier

Marco's shadow falls on the door
to the 7 Lost Cities of Gold
finds a raven's head and rattler's tail
dead in his tracks, this Godforsaken soul's
unwanted here and his ghost lingers for years

Amalia's face hides behind the mask
sweating on the TV factory line
that smile on her face is starting to crack
while welding back the pieces of shattered heart
that's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers
searched for her lost child along the river of tears

At the end of the working week
when drunken worlds meet
both sides keeping a close eye
for a break in the line here... on the Crystal Frontier

Blood spills out on the streets
and bodies are missing for weeks
both sides keeping a close eye
watching the bullets fly here... on the Crystal Frontier

Ramon tightens up his leather belt
and slips through a hole in the fence
he can get you anything you want
might cost you a life, might cost you
the whole price of freedom here...on the Crystal Frontier

Calexico: Hot Rail (Quarterstick Records, 2000).

It's Oh So Quiet

Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet shh,shh
It's, oh, so still shh,shh
You're all alone shh, shh
And so peaceful until...

You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then

Shhh, Shhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse, zing boom
The devil cuts loose, zing boom
So what's the use, wow bam
Of falling in love

It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...

You ring the bell, bim bam
You shout and you yell, hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it

'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
Shhh, Shhh
But soon again
Shhh, Shhh
Starts another big riot

You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love

The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse ahhh
When you've fallen in love
Ssshhhhhh...

Into the Fire

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn I meet the power
This time, this time
Turning white and senses dire
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
And its waiting on the air

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn I meet the power
This time, this time
Turning white and senses dire
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
And its waiting on the air

Now I'm low I'm looking out, I'm looking in
Way down, the lights are dimmer
Now I'm low I'm looking out, I'm looking in
Way down, the lights are dimmer

Ooooh...

Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Come on, come on

Thirteen Senses: The Invitation (Vertigo, 2004).

Going home

Not very often have we met
But the music's been too bad
Can only sense happiness
if the music is sad

So I'm going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on

We're too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time

So I'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on

Yes I'm going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

So I'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on

Yes I'm going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

Sophie Zelmani: Sing And Dance (Columbia, 2001).

Música para emocionar

Tomamos a unos 200 bailarines y los trasladamos a una estación de trenes, los mezclamos entre la multitud un día cualquiera a una hora cualquiera e, inesperadamente, ponemos un poco de música con sabor a nostalgia; los dejamos actuar y... ¿qué creen que sucedería? Pues disfrútenlo en el siguiente vídeo.



Por cierto, sucedió en la Estación Central de Amberes (Bélgica) y no era la primera vez que se hacía. Un año atrás en este mismo blog ya les comentamos un espectáculo similar "improvisado" en Liverpool.

Dear Mr. President

Sin ser una de mis cantantes favoritas, tengo que admitir que esta canción de Pink me parece excelente, y este vídeo recién descubierto, aunque ya debe tener como un año, al menos, de grabado, muy ilustrativo de la gestión del anterior presidente de los Estados Unidos de América.
