#16 The Kooks – She Moves In Her Own Way

Después de alcanzar el éxito con Naive, los jovenes de Brighton (tan jóvenes que no pueden beber legalmente) lanzaron She Moves In Her Own Way, nada más para cimentar su ya creciente popularidad. Después de los Arctic Monkeys, tuvieron el debut mas vendido del 2006. Como dato extra, para este video vinieron nada menos que a Tijuana a grabarlo. La ciudad de moda parecería.

The Kooks – She Moves In Her Own Way

So at my show on Monday
I was told that someday
You’d be on your way to better things
It’s not about your make-up
Or how you try to shape up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey

So now you pour your heart out
You’re telling me you’re far out
You’re all about to lie down for your cause
But you don’t pull my strings
Cause I’m a better man
Moving on to better things

But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day

And at the show on Tuesday
She was in her mindset
Tempered firs and spangled boots
Looks are decieving
Making me believe it
And these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey, yeah

So won’t you go far
Tell me you’re a keeper
You’re all about to lie down for your cause
Aut you don’t pull my strings because
Cause I’m a better man
Moving on to better things

But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day

Yes our wish’s that we never made it
Through all the summers
We kept them up instead of
Kicking us back down to the suburbs
Yes our wish’s that we never made it
Through all the summers
We kept them up instead of
Kicking us back down to the suburbs

But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day

But uh oh, I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh oh, she came to my show
Just to hear about my day

#17 Arctic Monkeys – Leave Before The Lights Come On

Los primeros dos singles de los Arctic Monkeys, I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor y When The Sun Goes Down, fueron directo al #1 de los charts británicos. Al igual su disco debut, que es hasta ahora el disco debut más vendido en una primera semana en la historia del Reino Unido. Los Arctic Monkeys estaban en boca de todos hace un año. Cualquier single que hubieran sacado hubiera sido #1. En lugar de eso, decidieron sacar un E.P. que no sería elegible en las charts, y tendría 4 canciones nuevas, que fue el «Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?» y con eso terminar la promoción de su disco debut. En el verano, decidieron lanzar otro single más, pero en esta ocasión sería una canción nueva. Leave Before The Lights Com On no llegó al #1 (se quedó en el #4), pero mostro que Alex Turner era todo menos flojo. Ayer, los Arctic Monkeys anuncian que su segundo disco, Favourite Worst Nightmare, sale a la venta en Abril, solo 15 meses después que su debut. Gran video por cierto

Arctic Monkeys – Leave Before The Lights Come On

Well this is a good idea,
He wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t,
He wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t one.
Well my friend fancies you,
Oh what a way to begin it all,
You said it’s always exciting words to hear

And we woke up together not quite realising how,
Oh when your stretching and yawning,
Its always hard in the morning,

And I suppose that’s the price you pay,
Oh it isn’t what it was,
She’s thinking he looks different today,
And oh there’s nothing left to guess now,

You left before the lights came on,
Because you didn’t want to ruin,
All the lust that was brewing,
Before he absolutely had to,
And how can you wake up,
With someone you don’t love?
And not feel slightly fazed by it,
Oh, he had a struggle,

And you woke up together not quite realising how,
Oh but he’s stretching and yawning,
It’s always hard in the morning,

And I suppose that’s the price you pay,
Oh it isn’t what it was,
She’s thinking he looks different today,
And oh there’s nothing left to guess now,

Quick, let’s leave, before the lights come on,
‘Cos then you don’t have to see,
‘Cos then you don’t have to see,
What you’ve done,

Quick, let’s leave, before the lights come on,
‘Cos then you don’t have to see,
‘Cos then you don’t have to see,
What you’ve done,

Until tomorrow comes,

I’ll walk you up, what time’s the bus come?
I’ll walk you up, what time’s the bus come?
I’ll walk you up, what time’s the bus come?
I’ll walk you up, what time’s the bus come?

#18 The Strokes – Heart In A Cage

El segundo single del First Impressions of Earth, y uno más que se añade a la lista de clásicos de los Strokes. Un poco más fuerte que las canciónes de los Strokes, es la representación perfecta de como es el First Impressions. Largos solos de guitarra, letras (un poco) más coherentes, y una voz mas clara de Julian. Además, esta acompañada por un gran video. Nunca fallan.

The StrokesHeart In A Cage

Well I don’t feel better
When I’m fucking around
And I don’t write better
When I’m stuck in the ground
So don’t teach me a lesson
Cause I’ve already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

Oh the heart beats in its cage

I don’t want what you want
I don’t feel what you feel
See I’m stuck in a city
But I belong in a field

Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left,
Now it’s three in the morning and
You’re eating alone

Oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends they’re laughing at us
All of those you loved, you mistrust
Help me, I’m just not quite myself
Look around there’s no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

I’m sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Oh the heart beats in its cage
Yes the heart beats in its cage
Alright

And the heart beats in its cage.

#19 Guillemots – Trains To Brazil

El segundo single de Guillemtos que fue elegible para las charts británicas, y sin duda la mejor canción de su disco (opinión personal claro). La mayoría debe saber (aunque no se si se acuerden) de los atentados terroristas en Londres en el verano del 2005, cuando explotaron bombas en autobuses y unas estaciones del metro. Días después, en busca de personas responsables, la policía londinense disparó mas de siete veces en la cabeza contra un ciudadano brasileño asustado por ver a tantos policías acercarsele. Después se dieron cuenta que era inocente y no tenía nada que ver con los atentados. Esta canción esta inspirada en ese incidente.

Guillemots – Trains To Brazil

You’re feelin old

Its 1 o clock on a friday morning
I’m trying to keep my back from the wall
The prophets and their bombs have had another success
And i’m wondering why we bother at all

And i think of you on cold winter mornings
Darling they remind me of when we were at school
Nothing really mattered when you called out my name
In fact, nothing really mattered at all

And i think about how long it will take them to blow us away
But i won’t get me down, I’m just thankful to be facing the day

Cos days don’t get you far when you’re gone

It’s five o clock on a Friday morning
one hundred telephones shake and ring
And one of them is from someone who knew you

And i still think of you on cold winter mornings
Darling they’ll still remind me of when we were at school
When they could never have persuaded me that lives like yours
were the hands of these eronious fools

And to those of you who moan your lives through one day to the next
Well let them take you next
Cos you live and be thankful you’re here

See it could be you tomorrow next year

#20 Boy Kill Boy – Civil Sin

Civil Sin fue el segundo single de Boy Kill Boy, también lanzado primero con Fierca Panda al igual que Suzie, y también relanzado cuando Boy Kill Boy lograron un contrato discográfico más grande. Uno de los tres singles de Boy Kill Boy en lograr entrar al top 40. Que para una banda indie estos días es todo un logro.

Boy Kill Boy – Civil Sin

Here’s to the gods and their seats on high
Nobody knows anything
Here’s to the flags in their guilty sky
Nobody says anything

This aside, this coast is clear
It doesn’t help, it doesn’t help me

Who am I? Only
One more life that you can owe me
It’s civilised, it’s civilised, it’s civil sin
Who am I? Only
One more lie so you can own me
It’s civilised, it’s civilised, it’s civil sin

Here’s to the crown in their Sunday best
Nobody knows anything
Here’s to the crowd, slaves who never rest
Nobody says anything

And this aside, this coast is clear
Until one man buys the whole show
And this aside, my mind is clear
It doesn’t help, it doesn’t help me

Who am I? Only
One more life that you can owe me
It’s civilised, it’s civilised, it’s civil sin
Who am I? Only
One more lie so you can own me
It’s civilised, it’s civilised, it’s civil sin

#21 Placebo – Song To Say Goodbye

Cuando salio el disco Meds de Placebo, y los fans escucharon esta canción, muchos temieron lo peor. Había rumores de la separación de la banda, y luego de ver que la última canción del disco era esta y terminaba con Goodbye, los rumores se acrecentaron. Todo se quedo en rumor y Placebo viene a México una vez más. Por mientras, aquí está esta canción, la única en la historia de Placebo en usar sección de cuerdas. Top top.

Placebo – Song To Say Goodbye

You are one of God’s mistakes.
You crying, tragic waste of skin.
I’m well aware of how it aches.
And you still won’t let me in.
Now I’m breaking down your door,
to try and save your swollen face.
Though I don’t like you anymore
you lying, trying waste of space.

Before our innocence was lost
you were always one of those
blessed with lucky 7s,
and the voice that made me cry.
My oh my.

You were mother nature’s son.
Someone to whom I could relate.
Your needle and your damage done,
remains a sordid twist of fate,
now I’m trying to wake you up,
to pull you from the liquid sky.
Cause if I don’t we’ll both end up
with just your song to say goodbye.

My oh my. A song to say goodbye,
A song to say goodbye,
A song to say,
Before our innocence was lost
you were always one of those
blessed with lucky 7’s,
and a voice that made me cry.

It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.
It’s a song to say goodbye.

#22 Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars

Después de tener un éxito internacional con Run, como lograr igualar o superar eso. Pues Gary Lightbody tenía un as bajo la manga. En el verano del 2005, U2 le pidio a Snow Patrol que les abrieran un par de fechas en Escocia. Ellos accedieron, a pesar de que la gira del The Final Straw ya había terminado. En esos conciertos abriendo a U2, estrenaron solo una canción nueva, Chasing Cars. Un año después y un bajista menos, Chasing Cars fue grabada para el disco Eyes Open y elegida como segundo single, tanto en UK (siguiendo a You’re All I Have) como en USA (siguiendo a Eyes Open). Como golpe final, la canción fue la que musicalizó el final de temporada de Grey’s Anatomy, serie de T.V. #1 en Estados Unidos. Así fue como Snow Patrol empezó su conquista en Estados Unidos.

Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

#23 Morning Runner – Burning Benches

Después del éxito menor de Gone Up In Flames en el 2005 y la exposición que les dio abrirle a Coldplay, Morning Runner estaban listos para el gran golpe. Este llego en la forma de Burning Benches, single que rompió facilmente en el top 40 británico y parecía que todo iba viento en popa. Lastima que solo pareció. Pero bueno, la canción es buenísima, y en vivo suena increíble.

Morning Runner – Burning Benches

Let us make amends,
we’re not overly good friends,
but its not Heaven
without you.

You can have it all,
we’ll see Mountains fall,
but its not Heaven
without you.

It’s the symphony distorting,
when were not talking,
but its not Heaven,
without you.

There’s just something different,
With the air about you,
The signs, the shapes, the numbers,
none of them give me a clue
You can have it all

And im not Burning Benches
cos the ash would make me choke
It was me who always spluttered
every time we spoke
you can have it all

#24 Battle – Tendency

A finales del 2005, Battle empezron a hacer ruido. Sus conciertos eran seguidos cada vez por mas gente y sus demos se cambiaban como pan caliente. Llego el 2006 y con él, el anuncio de que Tendency sería lanzado como single en Marzo. La canción logro entrar en el top 40 y parecía que la mesa estaba puesta para Battle. Entonces al vocalista, Jason Bavanandan, le dio hepatitis. Esto pospuso conciertos, planes de otro single, grabaciones, y de paso, la expectativa que se había creado. Regresaron varios meses después, pero el momento había pasado. Se anuncio el disco Break The Banks para Octubre, incluso disponible en Internet, pero ante la falta de interés, se pospuso. Hasta la fecha no sale. En lugar, Battle saco un mini EP con canciones que iban a venir en el disco. Las demás tal vez nunca vean la luz. Battle han entrado a regrabar canciones para su disco debut. Ojala algún día salga y nos den otra gran canción como esta.

Battle – Tendency

I mean everything
That falls out my mouth
When I throw my arms around you

I love you like family
I love you like you don’t know
When I throw my arms around you

I know I dance like a drunken arse
Every weekend it’s my own advice:
Let me drink myself to death
To forget about the rent

Money gets like a twisted snake, hissing
I’ll show you more if you meet me here
Come over come over come over here
This is my only tendency
This is all I have left you see
Will you believe me?
Would you believe me?
Now

You think that it’s not enough
Well fella I’m all grown up
It’s clear that we don’t…
Well I’m moving on and up
But I’m still the boy you knew
The boy who threw his arms around you
If I said:

This is my only tendency
This is all I have left you see
Would you believe me?
Would you believe me?

A healthy man with a healthy plan
My kids will think im a healthy dad
When there’s nothing I don’t care to mention
Nothing I don’t care for

Now be my girl, yeah she is my world
Because she is the best bitch I’ve ever had
Come over come over come over me
And if I said

This is my only Tendency
Would you believe me?
Would you believe me?

Cause I mean everything
That falls out my mouth
I love you like family
I love you like you don’t know
But I’m moving on and up
But I’m still the boy you knew
The boy who threw him arms around you
The boy who threw his arms around you
The boy who threw his arms around you

#25 We Are Scientists – It’s A Hit

Último single del With Love And Squalor en ser promocionado por WAS. Uno de los grupos más divertidos que existen en la actualidad, sobre todo por sus shows en vivo, por sus videos, y todo lo que hacen en general. Además, se la pasan dando shows en vivo en Nueva York cada rato que se aburren, y para nuestra fortuna ya están grabando su nuevo disco y esperemos que vuelvan a venir a México. I’ve been hit!

We Are Scientists – It’s A Hit

I should have known that this would happen from the start
This kind of function’s going to have to fall apart
I guess before I would have sworn that we were friends
And in this problem must award some logic trend

Well I still don’t understand what this whole thing’s about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don’t know what I did
All I really can tell is
I’ve been hit!
I’ve been hit!
I’ve been hit!

Well there’s only so much drama I can stand
This is just about as far as I will bend
So get your hands off my lapel because I think it’s time to go
You oughta know that or you oughta know

And I still don’t understand what this whole thing’s about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don’t know what I did
All I really can tell is
I’ve been hit!
I’ve been hit!
I’ve been hit!

As I was falling down the stairs and out the door
Yes, I heard you yell my name but I’m not sure
You know, before I could have sworn that we were friends
Somehow that’s how these parties always seem to end

Well I still don’t understand what this whole thing’s about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
This was going so well, but I don’t know what I did
All I really can tell is that
I always get hit

Well I still don’t understand what this whole thing’s about
And all the words that you said are somehow stuck in my mouth
I guess I might take it back, but I’m not sure what I did
All I know for a fact is
I’ve been hit!
I’ve been hit!

#26 The Sunshine Underground – Commercial Breakdown

Salidos de la siempre vibrante y creciente escena musical de Leeds, The Sunshine Underground lanzaron Commercial Breakdown a principios del 2006, con unos reviews muy buenos y parecía que el éxito venía. Por desgracia, la canción resulto muy poco comercial y el éxito no llego. Pero ellos ahí siguen y un año después el NME ha empezado a promoverlos. Tal vez todavía no es muy tarde para ellos.

The Sunshine UndergroundCommercial Breakdown

oh Maybe I’m right
oh maybe I’m wrong
We can fight for
one single way to get along
And we’ve all got to not shake down!
And I’ve only missin’ a point
And I can’t search the way to try to telling lies

So I’ll tell my problem
You’re never gonna get me
If I’m too be busy
A social conscience
I saw it on the tv
At least it keeps me busy

Oh maybe sometimes
I find it hard to comply
with people that don’t look you
in the eye
and it’s because all the commercial
breakdown!
and i’ve only missin’ a point
is what the media’s sayin’
that is switching to ….

so i’ll tell my problem
you’re never gonna get me
we’re far too busy
and so’s your conscience
what story gonna save me
at least it keeps me busy

oh
and i used to think that these things happen for a reason
i used to think that these things happen for a reason
i used to think that these things happen for a reason

#27 The Killers – When You Were Young

Después de varios meses en que los Killers guardaron silencio, un día anunciaron en su página que su nuevo single, When You Were Young, se estrenaba al día siguiente en la radio inglesa. Ni tiempo dio de reaccionar. Todavía tardaron un mes mas en anunciar el Sam’s Town. Pero que buena canción resulto ser ese primer single, y con un video grabado en México. Normal y en vivo abajo.

The KillersWhen You Were Young

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let’s take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We’re burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil’s water
It ain’t so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you’ll ever know

#28 Snow Patrol – You’re All I Have

Justo el día que se ponen a la venta los boletos para el concierto de Snow Patrol en México, es el día que les toca entrar en esta lista (por fin!). Después de dos años de tour intenso siguiendo el éxito inusitado del Final Straw, Snow Patrol se encerraron meses en Escocia para grabar su 4to disco (si 4to porque estoy seguro que todavia muchos creen que es el segundo apenas). En el proceso, perdieron un bajista (el unico miembro original del grupo que quedaba aparte del baterista y Gary Lightbody). You’re All I Have cumplió su cometido, simple y pegajosa y un excelente primer single que hizo que la gente los recordara, y de paso llevo a Snow Patrol a tener el disco mas vendido en Inglaterra en todo el 2006. Del lado izquierdo la versión de estudio, del derecho una acústica.

Snow PatrolYou’re All I Have

Strain this chaos turn it into light,
I’ve gotta see you one last night,
Before the lions take their share,
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere,

Just give me a chance to hold on,
Just give me something to hold onto,

It’s so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,

You’re cinematic razor sharp,
A welcome arrow through the heart,
Under your skin feels like home,
Electric shocks on aching bones,

Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Just give me something to hold onto,

It’s so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,
It’s so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear cause you are all that I have,

There is a darkness deep in you,
A frightning magic I cling to,

Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Give me a chance to hold on,
Just give me something hold on to,

It’s so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear now you are all that I have,
It’s so clear now that you are all that I have,
I have no fear now you are all that I have.

#29 The Pipettes – Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me

En 2003, Monster Bobby, un músico, productor, dj, escritor, etc, de Brighton, tuvo la idea de hacer un grupo recordando el sonido clásico de Phil Spector y las Ronettes en los 60’s. Para esto junto a unos amigos y busco a tres chicas que tuvieran una idea y visión similar a la de él. Así nacieron las Pipettes, oficialmente un trío pero en papel un grupo de 7 personas, aunque los otros 4 se hacen llama los Casettes, que hacen posible este grupo sacado de finales de los años 50 con un toque de modernidad. Gwenno, Becki y Rose son la cara del grupo y que hacne posible este pequeño viaje a la decada de los 50’s en pleno Siglo XXI.

The Pipettes – Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me

Your kisses are wasted on me
(Boy)
Can you see we’re through?
(Boy)
I don’t love you, you don’t make me smile
For a while
(Boy)
Get out of my face
(Boy)
I’m gonna catch a chase some other guy
Who I might like

And you might cry half the time
(And you don’t know it, no you don’t know it)
And you might try to hold my hand again
(no, you don’t know it)

Your kisses are wasted on me
(Boy)
You better hear me clear
(Boy)
I want you out of here
Don’t send me wild
You’re just a child

And you might cry half the time
(And you don’t know it, no you don’t know it)
And you might try to hold my hand again
(and you don’t know it, no you don’t know it)
And you might cry for some time
(you still don’t know it)

Your kisses are wasted on me

#30 Keane – Is It Any Wonder?

Con el Hopes & Fears, Keane conquistó el mundo. No solo tenían Europa a sus pies si no que también Estados Unidos había caido en los efectos de Somewhere Only We Know y Keane se convertía en una banda más de ese selecto grupo de bandas británicas que logran triunfar en E.U. Pero tanta fama y presión no le vino bien a Tom Chaplin, que entro en una dependencia de drogas y alcohol que lo llevó finalmente a rehabilitación, y de paso, darle un golpe severo a la carrera de Keane. Todo esto no se sabía cuando salio este single, el primero del segundo disco, y una gran canción. La catedral de la que se habla en la canción es la de Colonia, en Alemania. Keane vienen a México en Abril.

Keane – Is It Any Wonder?

I
I always thought that I knew
I’d always have the right to
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
and so on

but now I think how I was wrong
And you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on, my side

Is it any wonder I’m tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don’t know what’s right

Sometimes
It’s hard to know where I stand
It’s hard to know where I am
Well maybe it’s a puzzle I don’t understand

But sometimes
I get the feeling that I’m
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in a children’s rhyme, a soundbite

Is it any wonder that I’m tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don’t know what’s right
oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed

Nothing left inside this old cathedral
Just the sad lonely spires
How do you make it right

Oh, but you try
Is it any wonder I’m tired
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight
Is it any wonder I don’t know what’s right
oh, these days
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed
