Cuando intento recordar alguna banda alemana, desgraciadamente sólo me vienen a la mente Rammstein y Scorpions. Desde luego, pensando un poco más ya recuerdo a Lacrimosa, Lacrimas Profundere y algunas otras menos populares. Sin embargo, Scorpions tiene en sus distintos temas la quintaesencia del rock de los años 80's. Aunado a eso, el sentimiento impreso por el acento y la voz de Klaus Meine logra crear temas con una increíble fuerza y sentimiento. Dicho esto, he aquí 5 de sus mejores temas:
1. Rock you like a hurricane (Del albúm Love at first sting).
2. No one like you (De su albúm Blackout)
3. En colaboración con la ex-vocalista de Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, The Good die young.
4. Wind of Change, probablemente su tema más conocido.
5. Still loving you. Una de las mejor logradas expresiones musicales de la añoranza y el dolor por el amor perdido.
Para esta bella tradición (sic) del Top 5, ahora hablaremos del baile. ¿Te gusta bailar, no te gusta, quisieras hacerlo mejor? Pues ciertamente no daré aquí consejos al respecto jajajaja, pero si compartiré mi gusto por 5 canciones que expresan, de distintas maneras, el papel del baile en la vida.
Ahora es el turno de top 5 de secuencias de apertura de distintas series de Anime. Como siempre, es una apreciación totalmente subjetiva y sin ningún orden particular. Es una tristeza que el doblaje al español actual no tenga la calidad de aquel de las décadas de los 80's 90's y principios del 2000. En muchos casos, rivaliza con el original japonés. Pero en fin, basta de florituras y que comience la lista.
1. Ranma 1/2. Ja ja uma sasenaide.
2. Sailor Moon. Moonlight Densetsu (Leyenda de la luz de luna).
3. Saint Seiya. Pegasus Fantasy.
4. Slam Dunk. Kimi ga suki da to Sakebitai (Quiero gritar "Te amo").
But school, procrastination and mental states keeped me from posting, though I have some good (I hope) ideas. But in the meanwhile, just been listening to a band that I like: Stereophonics. Sadly it's been a while since the last time I was in love. But the fact that this song is touching me deeply makes me hopeful. Perhaps my heart and soul aren't dried out or petrified.
Also, star-themed topics have been around me for some time
A signal?
Who knows, because I still want to believe that reality is beyond our senses and minds.
Así es. Así parece. (que contradicción). A través del tiempo (si es que existe tal cosa) y el espacio (los sentidos indican que existe pero los sentidos son solo una limitación interpretativa -pero a veces deliciosa- de la realidad). La presa que detiene las presas y palabras se ha transformado en lluvia derramandose de un cono de papel (burda traducción pero no hay más).
La mente me deja escribir y me incita a ello en este momento. Pero lo que siento me confunde, porque aún ahora me es difícil identificarlo, aúnque menos que antes.
Aún así, la música sigue, cayendo como una estrella en piezas y aún así brillando.
Me encanta Nightwish. Canciones como "Sleeping Sun", "Wishmaster", "Nemo" "Over the Hills and Far Away" y su cover de "The Phantom of the Opera" tienen una calidad interpretativa que deleita mis oidos cada vez que las escucho. Parte de esa calidad proviene, creo yo, de la sinergia que existia entre la composición, la ejecución del grupo y la interpretación de su anterior vocalista, Tarja Turunen. Sin embargo, como muy a menudo sucede en los grupos, la vocalista deja la banda y decide emprender su camino como solista... en un género algo alejado de lo que manejaba (hasta cierto punto obvio, si deja el grupo es para un cambio). Que hace el grupo: busca una nueva vocalista y la encuentra. Aquí esta una muestra de su nuevo trabajo, la canción "Amaranth":
Y aquí, Nightwish con su anterior vocalista, interpretando "The Phantom of the Opera"
¿Qué puedo decir? NO HAY PUNTO DE COMPARACIÓN. Es una lástima que se hayan separado. Esto no significa que la nueva vocalista sea una mala cantante o que su interpretación lo sea, sino que en mi opinión, su voz no es tan fuerte, tan llena de matices y a la vez con una tesitura similar a la de la anterior vocalista. En fin, a ver como les va, tal vez solo sea cuestión de que se acoplen. Por otra parte, el video y la canción son buenos, no lo niego, pero no los disfruto, pensando en como se escucharía con el viejo Nightwish...
De la película y musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"
You know, the sun is in your eyes And hurricanes and rains Blacken cloudy skies
You're running up and down that hill You turn it on and off at will There's nothing here to thrill or bring you down And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town
Oh Lady Luck has led you here And they're so twisted up They'll twist you up, I fear
They're pious, hateful, and devout You're turning tricks 'til you're turned out The wind so cold it burns You're burning out and blowing 'round And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town
The fates are vicious and they're cruel You learn too late you've used Two wishes Like a fool
And then you're someone you are not And Junction City ain't the spot Remember Mrs. Lot and when she turned around And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town
Because....25 five years of my life and still.. And also, because I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed...
25 years of my life and still I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination I realized quickly when I knew I should that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man for whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed to get it all out what's in my head then I I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take deep breath and I get real high then I scream from the top of my lungs what's goin' on
and I say hey... hey... I say hey, what's goin' on and I say hey... hey... I said hey, what's goin' on
Oh, oooh... Oh, oooh...
and I try, oh my God do I try I try all the time in this institution and I pray, oh my God do I pray I pray every single day for a revolution
and so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in my bed just to get it all out what's in my head then I I am feeling a little peculiar and so I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath then I get real high then I scream from the top of my lungs what's goin' on
and I say hey... hey... I say hey, what's goin' on and I say hey... hey... I said hey, what's goin' on
and I say hey... hey... I say hey, what's goin' on and I say hey... hey... I said hey, what's goin' on
Oh, oooh, oooh...
25 years of my life and still I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination
Primero este, que me recuerda situaciones, me encanta su música y me pone a pensar.
Dedicated to all the people that I can lend a hand in return for the grace that you gave me....for all the hope you brought me. For all of you that made my horrible days...a beautiful day...
Beautiful Day - U2
The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground There's no room No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace
It's a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud In the maze of her imagination
You love this town Even if that doesn't ring true You've been all over And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day
Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the Bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away Beautiful day
Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now What you don't know you can feel it somehow What you don't have you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day
A veces llega un momento en que te haces viejo de repente sin arrugas en la frente pero con ganas de morir paseando por las calles todo tiene igual color siento que algo hecho en falta no se si será el amor
Me despierto por la noches entre una gran confusión es tal la melancolía que está acabando conmigo siento que me vuelvo loco y me sumerjo en el alcohol las estrellas por la noche han perdido su esplendor
He buscado en los desiertos de la tierra del dolor y no he hallado mas respuesta que espejismos de ilusión he hablado con las montañas de la desesperación y su respuesta era solo el eco sordo de mi voz
No sign of life did flicker In floods of tears she cried "All hope's lost it can't be undone They're wasted and gone"
"Save me your speeches I know (They blinded us all) What you want You will take it away from me Take it and I know for sure The light she once brought in Is gone forevermore"
Like sorrowful seaguls they sang "(We're) lost in the deep shades The misty cloud brought (A wailing when beauty was gone Come take a look at the sky) Monstrous it covered the shore Fearful into the unknown" Quietly it crept in new horror Insanity reigned And spilled the first blood When the old king was slain
chorus: Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Quietly crept in and changed us all Nightfall Immortal land lies down in agony
"How long shall we Mourn in the dark the bliss and the beauty Will not return Say farewell to sadness and grief Though long and hard the road may be" But even in silence I heard the words "An oath we shall swear By the name of the one Until the world's end It can't be broken"
Just wondering how I can still hear these voices inside
The doom of the Noldor drew near
The words of a banished king "I swear revenge" Filled with anger aflamed our hearts Full of hate full of pride We screamed for revenge
chorus
"Vala he is that's what you said Then your oath's been sworn in vain (But) freely you came and You freely shall depart (So) never trust the northern winds Never turn your back on friends"
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!" "You better don't trust him" The enemy of mine Isn't he of your kind and Finally you may follow me Farewell He said
When the earth was still flat, And the clouds made of fire, And mountains stretched up to the sky, Sometimes higher, Folks roamed the earth Like big rolling kegs. They had two sets of arms. They had two sets of legs. They had two faces peering Out of one giant head So they could watch all around them As they talked; while they read. And they never knew nothing of love. It was before the origin of love.
The origin of love
And there were three sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back, Called the children of the sun. And similar in shape and girth Were the children of the earth. They looked like two girls Rolled up in one. And the children of the moon Were like a fork shoved on a spoon. They were part sun, part earth Part daughter, part son.
The origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared Of our strength and defiance And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill them all With my hammer, Like I killed the giants." And Zeus said, "No, You better let me Use my lightening, like scissors, Like I cut the legs off the whales And dinosaurs into lizards." Then he grabbed up some bolts And he let out a laugh, Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half." And then storm clouds gathered above Into great balls of fire
And then fire shot down From the sky in bolts Like shining blades Of a knife. And it ripped Right through the flesh Of the children of the sun And the moon And the earth. And some Indian god Sewed the wound up into a hole, Pulled it round to our belly To remind us of the price we pay. And Osiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big storm To blow a hurricane, To scatter us away, In a flood of wind and rain, And a sea of tidal waves, To wash us all away, And if we don't behave They'll cut us down again And we'll be hopping round on one foot And looking through one eye.
Last time I saw you We had just split in two. You were looking at me. I was looking at you. You had a way so familiar, But I could not recognize, Cause you had blood on your face; I had blood in my eyes. But I could swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul Was the same as the one down in mine. That's the pain, Cuts a straight line Down through the heart; We called it love. So we wrapped our arms around each other, Trying to shove ourselves back together. We were making love, Making love. It was a cold dark evening, Such a long time ago, When by the mighty hand of Jove, It was the sad story How we became Lonely two-legged creatures, It's the story of The origin of love. That's the origin of love.
I put in this blog lyrics from a beautiful song. Now, I want to hear it, and want you to hear it. And see it. These songs that I put are saying pretty much how I feel, or felt.
As I said before, sometimes I feel like I've been driving with one headlight. Or without headlights.
Esto me recuerda cuando M4st3r-X- llamaba a este blog mundo videos.
Mr. Brightside
Coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go I just can't look It's killing me And taking control
Jealousy Turning saints into the sea Turning through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Coming out of my cage And I've been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go I just can't look It's killing me And taking control
Jealousy Turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
