Dido - Thank You

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I,
Got out of bed at all,
The morning rain clouds up my window,
And I can't see at all,
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
But your picture on my wall,
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again,
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply,
That I might not last the day,
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is having the best day of my life.

Push the door, I'm home at last,
And I'm soaking through and through,
Then you handed me a towel,
And all I see is you,
And even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn't have a clue,
Because you're near me.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is having the best day of my life.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is having the best day of my life.

Written by Dido Armstrong, Paul Herman.

Esta canción apareció, en 1998, en una banda sonora, y un año más tarde en el disco debut de Dido, No Angel, que no empezó a venderse como churros hasta otro año más tarde (y ya nos plantamos en diciembre de 2000) cuando a un tal Eminem (el rapero blanco para más señas) le dio por utilizar un sample de esta canción para Stan, tema que sería número 1 en medio mundo y top 10 en el otro medio, y que se incluyó en The Marshall Mathers LP.

Bonita versión, una guitarra y una voz, ¿quién necesita más?

This song first appeared as part in a movie soundtrack, and a year later in Dido's debut album No Angel. But it didn't become a massive success until a year later when Eminem used a sample of this song in Stan from The Marshall Mathers LP (2000), a song that become number 1 or top 10 in many, many countries.

This is a beautiful version, with just a guitar and Dido's voice.

Erasure - A Little Respect

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell.

Del album The Innocents, de 1988. Aparece en la banda sonora de D.E.B.S., playbackeada por Jordana Brewster y Jimmy Simpson.

The Cardigans - Erase And Rewind

Hey, what did you hear me say
you know the difference it makes
what did you hear me say

Yes, I said it's fine before
But I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before

I've changed my mind
I take it back
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind

So where did you see me go
it's not the right way, you know
where did you see me go
No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know

I've changed my mind
I take it back
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
Erase and rewind
I´ve changed my mind!

U2 - The Sweetest Thing

My love throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
I'm losing you  
Ain't love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you
Still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

Written by Paul Hewson, Dave Evans, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr.

Morrissey - First Of The Gang To Die

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the stars,
reflect in the resevoirs

And you have never been in love,
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
behind the home for the blind

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our streets...

...where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bones

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you're standing on our streets...

...where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
and the first lost lad to go under the sod.


And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away

Written by Morrissey & Alain Whyte

Robyn - With Every Heartbeat

Maybe we could make it all right
We could make it better sometime

Maybe we could make it happen, baby
We could keep trying
But things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back

Just a little, little bit better
Good enough to waste some time
Tell me would it make you happy, baby

We could keep trying
But things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back 

We could keep trying
But things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I'm dying with every step I take
But I don't look back

And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat

Written by Robyn & Andreas Kleerup


A principios de verano una tal Madonna decidió que en la rama europea de su gira le acompañase como telonera una tal Robyn. En 1997, esta tal Robyn grabó una canción que sonó bastante, Show Me Love, y desapareció tan rápido como había llegado. Diez años más tarde, en un acto de integridad, se compró a sí misma, de su compañía de discos, y se volvió a su Suecia natal a hacer la música que ella quería o a irse con la música a otra parte, el resultado es su primer número 1 en Reino Unido, una canción muy diferente a la que grabó una década antes, con un aire a Natalie Imbruglia, y que seguró que formó parte de la banda sonora de Sensación de Vivir o de Al Salir de Clase.

The Beatles - Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm


Lennon / McCartney

Esta es la canción de la semana en mi clase de guitarra, así que no me hecurrado demasiado, pero como hace tiempo que no publico ninguna...

Como todas las canciones de The Beatles, esta también fue firmada por Lennon/McCartney, aunque en realidad, la escribió Sir Paul solito, que se despertó en medio de la noche, se acercó al piano y le salió esto, aunque al principio la tituló algo así como Huevos Revueltos.
