Ingrid Michaelson - You and I

Ingrid Michaelson, quizá no os suene mucho su nombre pero lo cierto es que la ya veterana (5 trabajos) ha sonado en muchos sitios, quien no se acuerda de ese Be OK que escuchamos con Telefónica o con Opel hace unos años, tambien en su pais, como el spot de Cola cola de este año en EEUU.

SIn olvidarnos de las series, varias canciones de estadounidense han sonado en Anatomia de grey, y alguna en alguna pelicula.

Bueno, aunque su último disco Human Again es del año pasado y merecería alguna entrada, hoy toca You and I (suya, nada de cover de Wilco) que pertenece a ese disco del 2008 Be OK que tan bien suena.







Don't you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do want bunnies do with you if you know what I mean

Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the shelf

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Charlene Soraia - Wherever you will go

Vamos ya con el domingo con esta maravillosa versión de la que no me desengancho, hace un  de años, a la joven inglesa Charlene Soraia se le ocurrió versionar el clásico de The Calling Wherever you will go.

Fue el primer single de su disco debut, Moonchild (2011) que no llegó tan alto como este tema pero que no está nada mal para una debutante. Este año, hace apenas un mes sacó su segundo album Love Is The Law.

Os dejo con esta versionaza, feliz domingo!





So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When i’m gone, you’ll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own?

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

And maybe i’ll work out
A way to make it back some day
Towards you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days

If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
Well i hope there’s someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If i could, then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
run away with my love

i know now, just quite how
my life and love might still go on
in your heart, in your mind
i’ll stay with you for all of time

If i could then i would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
If i could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
If i could turn back time
I’ll go wherever you will go
I’ll go wherever you will go

Ben Howard - Keep Your Head Up

Ben Howard se pasó el otro día por Madrid para presentar, dentro del mes de Los veranos de la villa que hace todos los años la capital, su primer y de momento único disco Every Kingdom (2011) si bien es cierto que ya iba avisando de lo que era capaz en sus tres EP's anteriores. Además, tras el album presentó dos EP's más, Ben Howard Live (2011) y The Burgh Island (2013).

Hace unos meses comentaba en una entrevista que su nuevo album puede tomar una 'rara dirección' y que se podría esperar para principios del 2014. Casi nada.

Os dejo con Keep Your Head Up su canción estrella. Por cierto que en el concierto ya avisó de que le gustaba Madrid y esperaba volver para presentar su nuevo trabajo. Pero habrá que esperar para ello. Buen sábado!






I spent my time, watching
The spaces that have grown between us.
And I cut my mind on second best,
Oh the scars that come with the greenness.
And I gave my eyes to the boredom,
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in.
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
In which I swim.

Now walking back, down this mountain,
The strength of a turnin' tide.
Oh the wind so soft, and my skin,
Yeah the sun so hot upon my side.
Oh lookin' out at this happiness
I searched for between the sheets,
Oh feelin' blind, I realize,
All I was searchin' for... was me.
Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me.

Oh yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Na, oh, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways.
Keep your heart strong.
Now I saw a friend of mine, the other day,
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew...
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
And it felt so good to see his face,
All the comfort invested in my soul,
Oh to feel the warmth, of his smile,
When he said, 'I'm happy to have you home.'
Oh oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home.

Oh yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways.
Well keep your heart strong.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh with your demons of change.

(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong)
(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong) May you find happiness here.
(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong)
(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong) May all your hopes all turn out right.

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways.
Keep your heart strong.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh with your demons of change.

Gabrielle Aplin - Please don't say you love me

Este es uno de esos temas que pueden convertirse en la canción del verano, Please don't say you love me es el temazo del primer disco de la jovencisima (generación de Curro y Cobi) inglesa Gabrielle Aplin que tras un buen primer EP, Home de hace un par de años, este año ha sacado, bajo la mano de EMI, English rain, su primer disco.
 
Os dejo con la versión en piano del tema, muy a lo Birdy la verdad.







Summer comes, winter fades
Here we are just the same
We don't need pressure, we don't need change
Let's not give the game away

There used to be an empty space
A photograph without a face
But with your presence, and your grace
Everything falls into place

Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back

Heavy words are hard to take
Under pressure precious things can break
How we feel is hard to fake
So let's not give the game away

Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back

And fools rush in
And I've been the fool before
This time I'm gonna slow down
'Cause I think this could be more
The thing I'm looking for

Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back

Please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back

Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
