The Approaching Curve – Rise Against

Estilo diferente, música diferente… mañanas / tardes diferentes.

The Approaching curve – Rise Against

[Spoken:]The music played with a calming frequency.
The speakers gently seeped the sound of ambient keyboards and light percussion,
creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness.
The windows were cold to the touch,
reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity.
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass,
and streaks of melting snow cascaded down its length.
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle,
like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water.
The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn.
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road,
and she hadn’t so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes
nor had we spoken.

As we were, so perfect, so happy.
They’ll remember, only our smiles ‘cause that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.

[Spoken:]

«Why are you doing this?» she spoke as if not expecting a response.
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive,
so suddenly that my heart had jumped.
«I’m not doing anything,» I said, but I didn’t even believe that myself.
«This is what’s best, for me, for you, for us,» or maybe just for me I thought,
as a tear formed in the pit of her eye.
The music poured through the speakers and we were losing ourselves in the cadence.
She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes for a bit longer than a standard blink.
Then she was crying. Then she was shouting. Then I was shouting,
now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions,
we barely even knew the questions.

As we were, so perfect, so happy.
They’ll remember, only our smiles ‘cause that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.

Don’t put me underground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.
Please, love, give me the wheel, before both of our hearts you
will steal tonight (will steal tonight).

As we were, so perfect, so happy.
Don’t remember, only your smiles ‘cause that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.

[Spoken:]

Our cracking voices became part of the music.
The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered,
The cadence again overtook the air.
Up ahead there was a curve approaching.
She made no indications of slowing.

Fake Tales of San Francisco

Buenos días! Hoy traigo una de las canciones de Arctic Monkeys, del disco «Whatever people say I am, that’s what i’m not» (podía tener un título más largo el disco??). Me he levantado con el ritmo, el bajo, en la cabeza. Pan, parapapa pan.

Fake Tales of San Francisco – Arctic Monkeys


Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the room
More point to a wedding disco
Without a bride or groom

There’s a super cool band yeah
With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
And all the weekend rockstars in the toilets
Practicing their lines

I don’t want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don’t want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don’t want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don’t want to hear you
I don’t want to hear your…

Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the air
And there’s a few bored faces in the back
All wishing they weren’t there

And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl’s telephone beeps
Yeah she’s dashing for the exit
And she’s running to the streets outside
Oh you’ve saved me, she screams down the line
The band were fucking wank
And I’m not having a nice time

I don’t want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don’t want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)

Yeah but his bird thinks it’s amazing, though
So all that’s left
Is the proof that love’s not only blind but deaf

He talks of San Francisco, he’s from Hunter’s Bar
I don’t quite know the distance
But I’m sure that’s far
Yeah I’m sure that’s pretty far

And yeah, I’d love to tell you all my problem
You’re not from New York City, you’re from Rotherham
So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Yeah

Fade Together

Fade Together – Franz Ferdinand

So far away
Come on I’ll take you far away
Let’s get away
Come on let’s make a get away

Once you have loved someone this much
you doubt it could fade

despite how much you’d like it to
God how you’d like it to fade

Let’s fade together
Let’s fade forever

Let’s fade together
Let’s fade forever

If we get away
You know we might just stay away
So stay awake
Why the hell should I stay awake?
When you’re far away
Oh god you are so far away

I looked your wall
Saw that old passport photograph
I look like I’ve just jumped the Berlin Wall
Berlin I love you
I’m starting to fade

Let’s fade together
Let’s fade forever
Let’s fade together
Let’s fade forever

Somebody that I used to know…

Hoy estoy de música hasta arriba. Supongo que lo necesitaba, en parte. Ahora os traigo una canción…. que… no sé cómo describirla. Por un lado, me trae buenos recuerdos de cierta noche, especial para mi por todo lo que supuso. Por otro lado… la letra… Me siento miserable. Supongo que no se puede cambiar el pasado y lo hecho, hecho está. Y sigo sin saber qué hacer, pero… No puedes pasar de ser una persona que solías conocer a alguien que conoces realmente…. siempre quedan… cosas que te harán dudar y…. ya nada podrá ser como antes.

Quien conozca mi historia, sabrá, un poco, a qué me refiero. Sin más, os dejo la canción.

Somebody that I Used to Know – Gotye

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing

And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know…

But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody…

Rivers and roads – The Head and the Heart

Nueva canción por ahora. Amo el indie, en serio… Le voy a crear una categoría aparte en mi blog XD

Rivers and roads – The Head and the Heart

A year from now we’ll all be gone.
All our friends will move away
and they’re going to better places,
but our friends will be gone away

Nothing is as it has been
and i miss your face like hell
and i guess it’s just as well
but i miss your face like hell

Been talking bout the way things change
and my family lives in a different state
and if you don’t know what to make of this
then we will not relate.

So if you don’t know what to make of this
then we will not relate

rivers and roads
rivers and roads
rivers ‘til i reach you

How to Save a Life

The Fray – How to save a Life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS (x4):
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

Silent Night –

Silent Night – Lisa Hannigan (Damien Rice)
Silent night,
Broken night.
All is fallen,
When you take your flight
I found some hate for you,
just for show.
You found some love for me,
thinking I’d go.
Don’t keep me from cryin to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night,
Moonlit night.
Nothing’s changed.
Nothing is right.
I should be stronger then,
weeping alone.
You should be weaker then,
sending me home.
I can’t stop you fighting to sleep.

Sleep in heavenly peace

Down Once More

Down once more  – Phantom of the Opera

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MomeCr9LUs]

Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!

PHANTOM:
Hounded out by everyone!
Met with hatred everywhere!
No kind word from anyone!
No compassion anywhere!

Christine, Christine …
Why, why …?

CHRISTINE:
Have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?

PHANTOM:
That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood, has also denied me the joys of the flesh …
This face – the infection which poisons our love …
This face, which earned a mother’s fear and loathing …
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing …
Pity comes too late – turn around
and face your fate: an eternity of this before your eyes!

CHRISTINE:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now …
It’s in your soul that the true distortion lies …

PHANTOM:
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!
Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight!
I had rather hoped that you would come.
And now my wish comes true – you have truly made my night!

RAOUL:
Free her!
Do what you like only free her!
Have you no pity?

PHANTOM:
Your lover makes a passionate plea!

CHRISTINE:
Please Raoul, it’s useless!

RAOUL:
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion …

PHANTOM:
The world showed no compassion to me!

RAOUL:
Christine, Christine…
Let me see her…

PHANTOM:
Be my guest, sir …
Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
Did you think that I would harm her?
Why would I make her pay for the sins which are yours?
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now – except perhaps Christine…
Start a new life with me –
Buy his freedom with your love!
Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!
This is the choice –
This is the point of no return!

CHRISTINE:
That tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!

RAOUL
Christine, forgive me, please forgive me…
I did it all for you,
And all for nothing…
CHRISTINE
Farewell, my fallen idol and false friend
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered!
PHANTOM
Too late for turning back…
Too late for prayers and useless pity…
RAOUL
Say you love him
And my life is over…
PHANTOM
Past all hope of cries for help.
No point in fighting,
PHANTOM (RAOUL)
For either way you choose you cannot win.
(Either way you choose he has to win!)
PHANTOM
So do you end your days with me,
Or do you send him to his grave?
RAOUL
Why make her lie to you to save me?
PHANTOM
Past the point of no return
CHRISTINE
Angel of Music…
RAOUL
For pity’s sake, Christine, say no!
CHRISTINE
Who deserves this?
PHANTOM
The final threshold…
RAOUL
Don’t throw your life away for my sake!
CHRISTINE
Why do you curse mercy?
PHANTOM
His life is now the prize
Which you must earn!
RAOUL
I fought so hard to free you…
CHRISTINE
Angel of Music…
PHANTOM
You’ve passed the point of no return!
CHRISTINE
You deceived me!
I gave my mind, blindly!
PHANTOM
You try my patience…
Make your choice!
CHRISTINE
Pitiful creature of darkness,
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone...
MOB
Track down this murderer,
He must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground!
PHANTOM
Take her, forget me,
Forget all of this.
Leave me alone,
Forget all you’ve seen.

Go now don’t let them find you,
 
Take the boat.
Swear to me, never to tell.
The secret you know of the angel in Hell.

Go now! Go now, and leave me!
Masquerade
Paper faces on parade.
..
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you…
Christine, I love you…
CHRISTINE
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime
RAOUL
Say the word and I will follow you
CHRISTINE
Share each day with me
Each night, each morning
PHANTOM
You alone, can make my song take flight
It’s over now, the music of the night!

Copenhague – Vetusta Morla

Copenhague – Vetusta Morla

El corría, nunca le enseñaron a andar,
se fue tras luces pálidas.
Ella huía de espejismos y horas de más.
Aeropuertos. Unos vienen, otros se van,
igual que Alicia sin ciudad.

El valor para marcharse,
el miedo a llegar.

Llueve en el canal, la corriente enseña
el camino hacia el mar.
Todos duermen ya.

Dejarse llevar suena demasiado bien.
Jugar al azar,
nunca saber dónde puedes terminar…
o empezar.

Un instante mientras los turistas se van.
Un tren de madrugada
consiguió trazar
la frontera entre siempre o jamás.

Llueve en el canal, la corriente enseña
el camino hacia el mar.

Todos duermen ya.

Dejarse llevar suena demasiado bien.
Jugar al azar,
nunca saber dónde puedes terminar…
o empezar.

Ella duerme tras el vendaval.
Se quitó la ropa.
Sueña con despertar
en otro tiempo y en otra ciudad.

Dejarse llevar suena demasiado bien.
Jugar al azar,
nunca saber dónde puedes terminar…
o empezar.

Lonely as I am…

Ya puse esta canción en otra entrada. Pero ahora tengo mucho más que decir de ella. Ahora entiendo más cosas. El significado, en sí mismo.

Under the Bridge – Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sometimes I feel 
Like I don’t have a partner 
Sometimes I feel 
Like my only friend 
Is the city I live in 
The city of angels 
Lonely as I am 
Together we cry 


I drive on her streets 
‘Cause she’s my companion 
I walk through her hills 
‘Cause she knows who I am 
She sees my good deeds 
And she kisses me windy 
I never worry 
Now that is a lie 


I don’t ever want to feel 
Like I did that day 
Take me to the place I love 
Take me all the way 


It’s hard to believe 
That there’s nobody out there 
It’s hard to believe 
That I’m all alone 
At least I have her love 
The city she loves me 
Lonely as I am 
Together we cry 


I don’t ever want to feel 
Like I did that day 
Take me to the place I love 
Take me all that way 


Under the bridge downtown 
Is where I drew some blood 
Under the bridge downtown 
I could not get enough 
Under the bridge downtown 
Forgot about my love 
Under the bridge downtown 
I gave my life away.



Quizás ahora no tenga nada que decir. Gracias. Muchisimas gracias. Por confiar en mi de esa manera. Por tratarme como me tratas (me encanta >.<). Por… por muchas otras cosas. Y no quiero que pidas perdón. No quiero que te disculpes, porque entonces me disculparé yo también.

Perdón por fastidiar estas dos últimas semanas. Y aún a pesar de decir que no lo volvería a hacer, lo hice de nuevo. Perdón. Perdón. Perdón. 
Y gracias.  Por todo, gracias. Te quiero. Te quiero tanto! Tanto tantísimo tanto. 
Ahora entiendo un poco más. Pero no quiero que te disculpes. Por favor. 
Y esta canción pasa a ser una de las que me… molestan. Más que antes. Entiendo por qué es de tus favoritas. Entiendo que cayeras y entiendo el daño que debió suponer. No quiero que nadie vuelva a hacerte daño. Me duele, incluso a mi. No quiero. No quiero permitirlo. Y me da miedo ser yo misma quien te haga daño (aunque me digas que no me preocupe, sabes que lo voy a hacer).


Pero, por hoy, ahora, en este momento…. No te diré que te necesito, ya lo sabes. Pero… eres una parte importante de mi todo.
