Letras que os gusten especialmente.

Pues eso, si os apetece, podeis poner la letra de alguna canción que os diga o signifique algo especial.
A mi una que me encanta es el "No regrets" de Y&T que además es un temazo:

Wake me up, I've been gone too long
'Cause there's so much ahead of me


All my life, I've had pain and sorrow
And that's all I could ever see
I sat empty, wasting all my days
Waiting for a future dream

And now I see that there's so much more
When I forgive myself and just let it go

So here I stand
With my arms wide open
With No Regrets at all

I've laid naked, with the past I've made
And there's no reason for me to bleed
"What-could-have-been", is a nowhere place
that clouds the view ahead of me

I made a sacrifice, to free my mind
I've shed my past, and put it all behind me

Now here I stand
With my whole life before me
And No Regrets at all
No Regrets, No Regrets, No Regrets at all

All my life, I felt all alone - on my own
But my self-pity got the best of me
Now, I've learned my past, doesn't have to be - my enemy
And I'm the only one, who's in control - in control of my destiny

And now I see that there's so much more
When I forgive myself and just let it go

So here I stand
With my arms wide open
And No Regrets at all
No Regrets, No Regrets, No Regrets
No Regrets at all

Here I stand
With my arms wide open
No Regrets at all

Allí voy Albytor:

Un tema que me encanta, por la melancolía que destila su letra, la belleza de su melodía, la inigualable voz de Tommy Funderburk, y el hermoso feeling de la guitarra de Bruce Gaitsch:

El tema se llama "KING OF HEARTS", del disco homónimo (1994), de la banda homónima.

KING OF HEARTS
"KING OF HEARTS"
I listened to your lonely
Heartbreak on the radio
The moon and me on a soft summer night
And when you sang you weren’t the only
Sad one in the world that night
You cried, and soon i was crying, crying

So here’s to you the king of hearts
A dreamer from the very start
And when you sang you sang for me
So here’s to you the king of hearts
And though i try to understand that it will be alright
It’s hard to see you go

Haunted by the memories
Your shared the passion and the pain
A falling star whispered "it’s over, over"
Now everytime i think about you
I can feel that monlight night, your songs
And the dreams that you shared with me, oh with me

So here’s to you the king of hearts
A dreamer from the very start
And when you sang you sang for me
So here’s to you the king of hearts
And though i try to understand that it will be alright
It’s hard to see you go

Everytime i hear of how the good ones go
I ask the question, "Why’s it got to be so?"
Comes the answer, and it’s hard to be understand
"It’s not for you to know, just love them while you can"

So here’s to you the king of hearts
A dreamer from the very start
And when you sang you sang for me
So here’s to you the king of hearts
And though i try to understand that it will be alright
It’s hard to see you go

So here’s to you the king of hearts
A dreamer from the very start
And when you sang you sang for me
So here’s to you the king of hearts
And though i try to understand that it will be alright
It’s hard to see you go


SALUD!

Ese tema tambien me gusta mucho a mi aunque desde luego nunca me había puesto a mirar el significado de la letra. Eso si, es mi favorita del disco ( junto con land of dreams) asi que gracias!

Siempre he tenido mucha simpatía por esta:

Warrant - Uncle Tom's Cabin

Just for the record let's get the story straight.
Me and Uncle Tom were fishing it was getting pretty late.
Out on a cypress limb above the "Wishin' Well."
Where they say it got no bottom, say it take you down to hell!


Over in the bushes and off to the right.
Come two men talkin' in the pale moon light.
Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge,
Haulin' two limp bodies down to the water's edge.

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin, oh yeah.
I know a secret that I just can't tell.

They didn't see me and Tom in the trees.
Neither one believing what the other could see.
Tossed in the bodies, let 'em sink on down.
To the bottom of the well where they'd never be found.

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin, oh yeah.
I know a secret that I just can't tell.
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin.
I know a secret that I just can't tell.
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Know who put the bodies in the "Wishing Well!"

Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down.
Prayin' real hard that we wouldn't make a sound.
Running through the woods back to Uncle Tom's shack.
Where the full moon shines through the roof tile cracks.

Oh my God, Tom, who are we gonna tell?
The Sheriff he belongs in a prison cell.
Keep your mouth shut that's what we're gonna do.
Unless you wanna wind up in the "Wishin' Well" too?

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin.
I know a secret that I just can't tell.
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin, oh yeah!
I know a secret that I just can't tell.
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Know who put the bodies.
Know who put the bodies ... in the "Wishing Well!"
Oh yeah, ha ch ch ch cha.

Pero esta me toca la fibra de una manera brutal:

Queen - White Man

Words and music by Brian May

Im a simple man with a simple name
From this soil my people came
In this soil remain oh yeah oh yeah
He made us our shoes
And we trod soft on the land
But the immigrant built roads
On our blood and sand oh yeah

White man white man
Dont you see the light behind your blackened skies
White man white man
You took away the sight to blind my simple eyes
White man white man
Where you gonna hide from the hell youve made

Oh the red man knows wars
With his hands and his knives
On the Bible you swore
Fought your battle with lies oh yeah
Leave my body in shame
Leave my soul in disgrace
But by evry gods name
Say a prayer for your race oh yeah

White man white man
Our country was green and all our rivers wide
White man white man
You came with a gun and soon our children died
White man white man
Dont you give a light for the blood youve shed?

White man white man
White man
White man white man
For you battled with lies
White man white man
Still lies
White man white man
Say you look around every skin and bone again

What is left of your dream?
Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach
Then forgot how to learn
Oh yeah


PS: y ahora podéis echaros una risas; confieso haber llorado con ella. De eso que te metes en el tema hasta las trancas y te pilla el día sensible

Qué joputa el "hombre blanco"

Yo no podria elegir una.
Hay muchas letras especiales, dependiendo del momento, del estado de animo, etc.
Soy una persona que valoro mucho la letra de una cancion, no solo la musica. Me gusta "hacerlas mias" y hay bastantes con las que me siento identificada.

Ya. Se te nota en el nick

La canción más hermética y misteriosa de la historia del rock. Solo para iniciados, y no precisamente en el mundo del rock.



STARWAY TO HEAVEN


There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Me llama la atención que todo el mundo elija canciones en inglés. Yo que quereis que os diga. Me llegan mas las letras en castellano:

EL SILENCIO DE LA NOCHE


Cuando el día amanece triste y gris
burlándose de mi
solitario en un tren sin dirección
así me siento yo
Y aunque viajo en el último vagón
no pierdo la ilusión

Tantas cosas que fui dejando atrás
que ya no volverán
y ese amor que busqué con ansiedad
y sigue sin llegar
Pero escucho una voz dentro de mi
tengo que seguir

El silencio de la noche
me dice una vez más
que en algún lugar te tengo que encontrar
Y en silencio cada noche
comienzo a caminar
todavía queda mucho por andar
hasta el final, hasta el final

Cada vez hay más gente junto a mi
y nada que decir
la distancia me ahoga el corazón
y pierdo la razón
y aunque soy lo que siempre quise ser
así no lo soñé

El silencio de la noche
me dice una vez más
que en algún lugar te tengo que encontrar
Y en silencio cada noche
comienzo a caminar
todavía queda mucho por andar
hasta el final, hasta el final

Chica De La Ciudad (Barón Rojo)

Vas recorriendo la ciudad, buscando algo de cordialidad.
En los rincones de algún bar, dejas tus penas y tu soledad.
Es que tú sabes que es mejor así, tienes razones por las que vivir.
Y sonreir ...
Chica de la ciudad, aunque no pueda hacerte feliz.
Con mi música intentaré,
acercarme un poco más a ti.
A tí ...

Te queda aún, algún lugar.
Donde esconderte y poder soñar.
Aunque la gente pase alrededor, tú sólo puedes ver el sol.
Acá en la noche lo intentarás,
con cualquier chico en cualquier lugar
de la gran ciudad.

Chica de la ciudad, aunque no pueda hacerte feliz.
Con mi música intentaré,
acercarme un poco más a tí.
A tí ...

Te buscaré sin descansar,
y si algún día te puedo encontrar.
Escucharé lo que quieras decir,
todas tus penas se van a acabar.
No tendrás nunca más la sensación,
de vivir sola en la desolación
de la gran ciudad.

Chica de la ciudad, aunque no pueda hacerte feliz.
Con mi música intentaré
acercarme un poco más a ti.

Chica de la ciudad, aunque no pueda hacerte feliz.
Con mi música intentaré
acercarme un poco más a ti.

Chica de la ciudad...

Por elegir una en inglés...

NAKED CITY (Kiss)

All the victims have turned to stone, no one is happy, they're all alone
I'd sacrifice my social position tonight
In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night

In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
I'm not lookin' for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)

Street vampires in the night, young lovers and love at first sight
This is my flesh and my fantasy
Older women with younger men, I've got a feelin' I'm in trouble again
But I've got to live my destiny

In the naked city (in the city) it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city

Lonely people lookin' for someone, lonely people goin' their way
Lonely people lookin' for something, lonely people goin' their way

In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night

In the naked city, there are ten million stories
I'm not lookin' for pity in this naked city
In the naked, naked city (in the city), it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)

(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city

o...
A WORLD WITHOUT HEROES (Kiss)

A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes

And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me

A mí me encanta la letra de "I saw red" de Warrant, especialmente la parte del primer pre-estribillo que dice:

If the moon and stars should fall
they´d be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
and you would take their place.

SAXON
“And The Bands Played On”

Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
Are there clouds up in the sky

We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on...


SAXON
“Heavy Metal Thunder”

If you're taking a bite
At the speed of light
You're shaking your heads to the band
There's a dare on your horse
But you're not on the force
We're taking this think to the ground

In the heat of the night
When you're fists are alight
Touching temples of steel
And your body's on fire
About to expire
But you don't feel the pressure of pain

Pull your head back
Hold your hands high
Shake your body
And it's too loud
And you put them up fill your heads
With heavy metal thunder
Heavy metal thunder

On the wings of an eagle
You're hoping to fly
Holding your hands to the sky
On a blue sea of venom
You turn to the band with
Your banners and skirts blowing high

If you think something more
You'll come down to the front
Then you'll do as they say
Where an army of cars
Are surrounded by lights
Turning my face to the ground
Nobody stands in our way


U.D.O.
“Holy”

Raised from the glowing ashes of cauldron iron
The Phoenix arose from the sanctum of metal
Emerging into the light

So many hard times
So many bad lies
A man of steel
You know I'm real

Ev'rything I do
I'm taking all control - it's my heart
You know it's how I feel
So stick it in your mind - now you're mine

Time - it's time I'm taking over
And crank it up in overdrive
I'll tell you why

You know I'm holy
So fucking holy - raise your hands
You know I'm holy
So fucking holy - pain and pride

So many places
So many aces
I made a curse
I gave you birth

Ah - glorious metal times
The master of our lives - never died
A special kind of force
Together no remorse - you'll be mine

Burning on overload
Legends won't die
No cross - no burdens to control
No asking why

The master never dies


Lo se, soy un puto Heavy!

bad english - ghost in your heart

pues eso q quien no ha intentado alguna vez olvidarse de alguien y cuando crees q ya lo has conseguido de repente te viene el recuerdo como un fantasma y si encima tenias dudas de si se acordaba de ti este fantasma te dice q si y q tu tambien te tienes q resignar a acordarte de el uuuuuuhhhhhhhh

Starship - Nothings' Gonna Stop Us Now


Starship - Nothings' Gonna Stop Us Now

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care 'bout that
Put your hand in my hand baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together,
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers,
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Woh woh oh

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart

Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers,
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us,
Nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you,
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do,

ADORO ESTA CANCIÓN. Uno de mis temas favoritos del mundo mundial!!

Qué curioso... A mí también siempre me ha encantado ese parte de la letra. Lo mismo que este estribillo

CHORUS
Blind Faith in you, oh yeah.
I've got blind faith in you
And I'm not sure that I deserve
A woman so true,
But I love, that you think I do

Una "cursilada" que me encanta

Se sale de "nuestro rollo" pero Antonio Vega, a veces se sale con letras preciosas como esta:

La Última Montaña

Ella no sabe que la ví
inmóvil y toda gris,
tomé el sendero hacia el lugar,
en la montaña.

Aquella noche la pase
oyendo el agua correr
sentia enorme la atracción
de la montaña.

Camino sin ver el final
y el paso que aún no he dado ya está atrás,
¿estoy llegando? ¿o he llegado ya?

Como los rios prometi
el nunca retroceder,
pero ellos caen, se dejan ir, yo
mi peso he de vencer.

Arena que cede al andar,
Paredes que se dejan abrazar,
Parece que la cumbre cerca está,
Algo mas cerca que ayer.

La úllima montaña quedo
delante de ti,
la última montaña quedó
muy cerca de ti.

El sol ya no se deja ver
la noche ébano es,
siento lo vivo y fanlasmal
de la montaña.

Camino sin ver el final
y el paso que aún no he dado ya está atrás,
estoy llegando y he llegado ya
poco más cerca que ayer.

La última montaña quedó
delante de ti
la úllima mantaña quedó
muy cerca de ti.

De eso se trata, creo que sólo los que amamos la música de verdad (ya sea heavy, jazz, rock, pop...) podemos llegar a sentir algo así al escucharla.

A mi de la de Y&T la parte: ""What-could-have-been", is a nowhere place that clouds the view ahead of me"...

A mi sin gustarme nada de nada Saratoga, la letra de "Si amaneciera" me parece preciosa, y bueno la canción tampoco está mal...


Ahora que mi voz se ha convertido
En apenas un suspiro
Debo descansar
Hoy que en la mitad de mi camino
La evidencia me ha vencido
Y me ha hecho llorar

Se que el tiempo curara
Aunque nada siga igual
No me quiero resignar
No olvidare

Yo que hasta el momento ignoraba
En el punto en que se hallaba
Esa enfermedad
Siento que la vida es como un hilo
Que se corta de improviso
Y sin avisar

Y en la oscura habitacion
Necesito oir tu voz
Ahora duermes junto a mi
Esperare

Si amaneciera sin ti
Yo no se que seria de mi
Hoy la muerte me ha mostrado ya sus cartas
Y no entiendo la jugada
Trato de salir
No quiero admitir
Mi soledad

Duermo apenas cinco o seis minutos
Suficientes para hundirme
En la tempestad
Los demonios que hay bajo la cama
Esta noche no se callan
No me dejaran

El reloj marca las seis
Lo mas duro es el final
Y la luz se posara
En el cristal

Huyo a veces pienso en otra cosa
Mi cerebro reacciona
No me deja en paz
Y de nuevo vuelve a sacudirme
Ese frio incontenible
Que es la realidad

El primer rayo de sol
Me ilumina el corazon
Te distingo junto a mi
Mi salvacion

Si amaneciera sin ti...

Y en la oscura habitacion...

El primer rayo de sol
Me ilumina el corazon
Te distingo junto a mi
Mi salvacion

Si amaneciera sin ti...
