Zaz - Gamine

Ya os la presenté hace unos meses pero hoy vuelvo a la carga, y es que la francesa Zaz sacó hace unas semanas Recto verso, su segundo disco tras el buen disco debut ZAZ del 2010.

Moló el Je veux de aquel LP y mola este Gamine de un disco bastante largo. Sobre gira hay que decir que empezó en Mayo una gira europea pero que no pasará por España. Sus próximas visitas europeas serán Varsovia el día 1 y Alemania antes de irse a Canadá.

Feliz finde!

Je pourrais t'attraper comme ça
Et d'un coup t'arracher les yeux,
Si tu ne me regardais pas
Avec le joie d'être amoureux.
Je pourrais tourner sur la tête
Devenir folle en quelques heures,
Si jamais tu prenais l'envie
De ne plus croire en mon bonheur.

Ça me fait mal.
Ça me brûle à intérie
ur, C'est pas normal,
Et j'entends plus mon cœur,
C'est des histories
Pour faire pleur les filles,
Je n'ose y croie,
Je ne suis plus une gamine.

Je peux crier pendant des heures
Si tu ne reviens pas tout d'suite,
Ou bien filer à 100 à l'heure
Pour aller te chercher des frites.
Il suffit que tu claques des doigts
Pour qu'j'apparaisse dans ton salon,
Mais si jamais tu n'ouvres pas la porte
Promis, je la défonce.

Ça me fait mal.
Ça me brûle à intérieur,
C'est pas normal,
Et j'entends plus mon cœur,
C'est des histories
Pour faire pleur les filles,
Je n'ose y croie,
Je ne suis plus une gamine.

Birdy - The A Team (Ed Sheeran cover)

Vuelvo en bucle con Birdy tras descubrir esta semana un EP en directo escondido por Spotify de 8 temas bajo , entre ellos esta versión (soy casi más de sus versiones que de sus propias canciones) de la famosa canción The A Team de Ed Sheeran.

Digo yo que a ver cuando hace una gira por Europa pasando por España o algún DVD en directo para poder disfrutar de un concierto suyo, esperemos que sea con el próximo album que se está grabando estos meses.

Bueno, os dejo con la versión del tema. Feliz domingo!

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
Go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim, stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting

Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white

Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries

They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Angels to fly,
To fly, to fly
For angels to die

Of Monsters of Men - King and Lionheart

Mañana nos visitan en la riviera de Madrid los islandeses Of Monsters of Men para presentar (nunca es tarde) su primer y único album My head is an animal (2011), el brillante debut que no solo tiene la ya archiconocida y ya repetitiva Little talks sino que tambien contiene temazos, como este King and Lionheart o Dirty Paws.

Mañana será la única fecha en España, entradas agotadas por cierto, durante su gira por Europa que comienza aqui y que se alargará por espacio de un mes para despues viajar a Asia y Oceania. Durante este mes, pararán por Irlanda, Reino Unido, Portugal o Bélgica y lo harán, en su mayoria de apariciones en formato festivalero.

Feliz domingo!

Taking Over this town
They should worry
But these problems aside
I think I taught you well

That we won’t run
And we won’t run
And we won’t run

And in the winter night sky
Ships are sailing
Looking down on these
Bright blue city lights

And they won’t wait
And they won’t wait
And they won’t wait

We’re here to stay
We’re here to stay
We’re here to stay

Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
A lionheart

His crown lit up the way
As we moved slowly
Past the wandering eyes of the ones
That were left behind

Though far away
Though far away
Though far away

We’re still the same
We’re still the same
We’re still the same

Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
And in the sea that’s painted black
Creatures lurk below the decks
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
And as the world comes to an end
I’ll be here to hold your hand
Cause you’re my king and I’m your lionheart

A lionheart A lionheart
A lionheart A lionheart
A lionheart A lionheart
A lionheart A lionheart

Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart
And in the sea that’s painted black
Creatures lurk below the decks
But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart

A lionheart A lionheart
A lionheart A lionheart
A lionheart A lionheart
A lionheart A lionheart

Laura Marling - New Romantic

Ya estamos a domingo y ya tenia ganas yo de poner este tema de mi queridisisisima Laura Marling, y es que a pesar del gran disco que sacó hace unos dias, su cuarto, yo aún sigo muy enganchado a este tema (mis followers bien lo saben) de 2009, que no está en ninguno de sus discos pero si en uno de sus EP anteriores a su primer album que llevó por titulo My manic and I, canción que sí incluiria en Alas I cannot swim, su primer LP.

Del 2007 este New Romantic donde ya se le veia muchas tablas con este de la música cantautor, demostrando una madurez en las letras que parecia mentira que tuveria 17 años.

Aunque el video que más me gusta de este tema es el directo en el programa de la televisión británica Later with Jools Holland, hoy os dejo con el videoclip del tema, algo sencillo pero muy efectivo.

I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
and everyone who knew her loves her so.
and I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,
give up trying to be thin,
give up and turn into my mother,
god knows I love her.

and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and be aware.
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can't do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
but I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind,
and I think he knew where I was going
he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak
it only ever makes me strong.
I've got this friend who sounds just like him,
he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.

The same man, he turns to me he said "I've got to tell you how i feel,
if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you"
my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella.
I don't know more everyday
not in this new romantic way.

I'll always be your first love, you'll always be my first love.

But I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state
watch my steady lonesome gait and be aware,
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand and I can't do it again,
I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man,
not in this new romantic way.

Lorde - Bravado

Vuelvo a la actividad tras unas últimas semanas moviditas y lo hago de buena manera, presentando a la jovencisima Lorde, una neozelandesa del 96 que hace unos meses, en diciembre sacaba su buen debut, un EP de cinco temas bajo el titulo The Love Club.


Y aprovechando que ahora ha sacado dos temas nuevos, pues me he acordado de ese EP y de lo bien que empieza con este Bravado, muy a lo Marina and the diamonds. Feliz sábado!

All my life
I've been fighting a war
I can't talk to you or your friends
It's not only you
My heart jumps around when I'm eluded to
This will not do

'Cause I was raised up
To be admired, to be noticed
But when you're withdrawn
It's the closest thing
To a someone who lies around you
This will not do

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm thinking glory
Lick my lips, toss my hair
And send a smile over
And the story's brand new
And I can take it from here
I'll find my own bravado

It's a switch flicked, it's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, oh
And I can tell you that when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this
It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
I was frightened of every little thing
That I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room
With no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's a switch flicked, it's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, oh
And I can tell you that when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this
It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
I was frightened of every little thing
That I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room
With no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's a switch flicked, it's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, oh
And I can tell you that when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this
It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
I was frightened of every little thing
That I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room
With no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
