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!

Written by: Nina Persson, Peter Anders Svensson.

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.


Bonita manera de pedir perdón por olvidar el cumpleaños de tu mujer. Bono la escribió en 1987, pero fue single en 1998, cando la regrabaron para el grandes éxitos de los 80, The Best Of 1980-1990.

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



Música alegre para una letra triste. Del You Are The Quarry, de 2004.

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.
