STING: Roxanne (CD: All this time)


            Esta canción, “Roxanne”, fue compuesta por Sting, cuando formaba parte del grupo británico The Police.
        Fue lanzado como sencillo en 1978 y sin duda uno de los más famosos del grupo. Sting la ha seguido interpretando en multitud de ocasiones.
        Parece que está dedicada a una prostituta llamada Roxanne y según dicen, podría basarse en un  personaje del mismo nombre de la obra del dramaturgo francés Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac.
        Canción muy versionada, quizás una de las que más me gusta es la de George Michael de su disco Songs from the last century (1999).






Roxanne
you don't have to put on the red light
those days are over
you don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne
you don't have to wear that dress tonight
walk the streets for money
you don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Roxanne
you don't have to put on the red light
I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
so put away your make up
told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way
Roxanne
you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
you don't have to put on the red light

LED ZEPPELIN. Stairway to heaven (CD: Led Zeppelin IV)




Compuesta por Jimmy Page y Robert Plant,  Stairway To Heaven es todo un icono de la música moderna. El álbum en el que se incluye, “Led Zeppelin IV”, es uno de los más vendidos de la historia, quizás porque  Stairway To Heaven no se editó en sencillo.
El solo de guitarra de Jimmy Page está considerado como uno de los 50 mejores solos de guitarra.
Es realmente fantástica.




Stairway 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

JAMES TAYLOR: You Can Close Your Eyes (CD: Sweet Baby James)



Me encanta este cantante-compositor. Son muchas las canciones suyas que pasarán por este blog. “You can close your eyes” es una preciosa muestra.
Es un grande entre los grandes. 

 
YOU CAN CLOSE YOUE EYES

Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
