Mis canciones: Holding out for a hero

Cancion de 1984 de Bonie tyler


letra:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for at hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doooo
Aaahhh
Aaahhh

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know

Waiting for your love to show
Yes it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know

Woh woh woh

I'll take you back again

Géneros musicales: Soul

El Soul estilo musical propio de la poblacion anfroamericana de EEUU dado a finales de los 50, conviertiendose a lo largo de los años en estilo mas influyente de la música contemporanea de todo el mundo, proviene de la fusion de estilos anteriores como el gospel y el R&B de 1950.

Palabras de Peter Guralnick critico musical : "El soul es la expresión de la solidaridad negra, del orgullo de una nación que deseaba terminar con los siglos de segregación y quienes encontraron en estos cantos los fines prácticos para reclamar su identidad y espiritualidad.”

Pare representar este estilo , tenemos a James Brown apodado con el sobrenombre the godfather of soul( elpadrino del soul) y considerado como uno de los pioneros de este género y la cancion "try me " fué el numero 1 en 1958.



letra :
Try me try me
darlin tell me
i need you
try me try me
and your love will always be true
oh i need you (i need you)
hold me hold me
i want you right here by my side
hold me hold me
and your love we won't hide
oh i need you (i need you)
oh i need you (i need you)
oh oh walk with me (walk with me)
talk with me (talk with me)
i want you to stop my heart from crying
walk with me (walk with me)
talk with me (talk with me)
and your love stops my heart from dying
oh i need you (i need you hoo hoo)

Géneros musicales: Rock and roll

El Rock and roll es un genero musical derivado de una mezcla de diversos géneros del folklore norteamericano, rhythm and blues, country , western.....y que empezó a aparecer allá por los años 50, Los adolescentes de la época buscaban sonidos y sensaciones nuevas y era la primera vez que una música se dirigía directamente a ellos.

Un ejemplo representativo de este estilo es Elvis presley considerado el rey del rock and roll. Os dejo con la cancion heartbreak hotel 56



letra:
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

And although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
do cry away their gloom.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.

Homenaje a Frank Sinatra 10º aniversario de su muerte II

Escena de un dia en Nueva york( on the town) pelicula musical del año 1949 y dirigida por stanley donen.
curiosidades: se rodaron muchas escenas al aire libre algo que no era habitual pero que le dio mas dinamismo y vida a la pelicula.Tanto la música como los numeros musicales son sensacionales.

Homenaje a Frank Sinatra 10º aniversario de su muerte I

My way , una de las canciones mas emotiva y una de las melodias mas bonitas que he escuchado. Frank sinatra la interpreto en 1969 , incuida en su disco "My way".

.

letra:

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive 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, Im 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.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive 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!

Musicales: cantando bajo la lluvia

Cantando bajo la lluvia esta considerada como una obra maestra del cine musical, del año 1952 , destacar que la pelicula es un ejemplo del éxito del cambio del cine mudo al sonoro. He buscado una de las escenas mas memorables en la que Gene kelly baila debajo de la lluvia.

curiosidad:Durante el rodaje de la escena de claqué en la lluvia Gene Kelly estaba enfermo, tenía la friolera de 40º de fiebre. al estar así no podía bailar con la fuerza suficiente para que sus pasos sonasen bien en cámara así que al mismo tiempo que el bailaba lo hacían al lado de la cámara dos bailarinas simultáneamente y también sobre un charco para que diera el pego.



letra:
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rain
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!

I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...
[ADDITIONAL VERSE]
Why am I smiling
And why do I sing?
Why does September
Seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up
Each morning and start?
Happy and head up
With joy in my heart
Why is each new task
A trifle to do?
Because I am living
A life full of you.

años 80: Papa don´t preach

1986, del album true blue, fue un éxito alcanzando el numero 1 en las listas de EEUU y el Reino Unido,
Papa Don't Preach" es un tema bailable con un dramático ritmo en el que Madonna nos cuenta la historia de una chica joven que le pide a su padre que no la sermonee por haber quedado embarazada. Una letra fuerte para la plena época puritana de los años 80, donde tanto el sexo como este tema seguían siendo tabú en la sociedad.



letra:
Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby

You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I'm saying

The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please


Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...

He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please


Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please


Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
(repeat)

Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, I'm keeping my baby

Mis canciones: You and I

Sisuiendo un poco con el mismo estilo y dentro de mis gustos musicales y como romantica que soy , está incluido el género de balada romantica , hace relativamente poco tiempo que descubri a este chico canadiense cantante de jazz con un swing mas moderno y con influencias de frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé, que me encanta a parte del fisico, su dulce voz y su elegancia exquisita.

Os dejo con la cancion "you and I"
aviso:
(solo para romanticos)



letra:
Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true
I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

letra:

Oh the shark babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them, pearly white
Just a jack knife, has old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it, out of sight

You know when that shark bites, with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows, start to spread
And fancy gloves though, wears old Macheath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red.

On the sidewalk, oh Sunday morning don't ya know?
Lies a body, just oozing life
And someone's sneaking round the corner
Could that be our boy Mack the knife?

From a tug boat down by the river don't ya know?
There’s a cement bag just droppin' on down,
That cement’s there, it's there for the weight, dear.
Five’ll get you ten old Macheath's back in town

D'ya'hear 'bout Louie Miller he disappeared, baby
After drawing out all his hard earned cash.
And now Macheath spends, he spends just like a, like a sailor
Could it be? Could it be? Could it be our boy's done something rash?

Jenny Diver, Oh Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
Yeah the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macheath's back in town

I said Jenny diver, Oh Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Lotte Lenya, and old Lucy Brown
Yeah the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macheath's back in town
