#14 Muse – Supermassive Black Hole

3 comentarios

Ahora ya todos estan acostumbrados, pero la reacción general cuando salió esta canción fue «eso es muse???» porque la gran mayoría esperaba algo como Stockholm Syndrome o Plug-In Baby, en cambio llegó la canción mas dance-pop que Muse haya hecho. Tanto, que se parece a una de Britney Spears (eso dicen, por ahi anda el mash-up de Do Something Supermassive). Ahora ya es otro clásico más de Muse. En vivo la versión de abajo.

Muse – Supermassive Black Hole

Oh baby don’t you know I suffer?
Oh baby can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretences
How long before you let me go?

Oooh…You set my soul alight
Oooh…You set my soul alight

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

I thought I was a fool for no-one
Oh baby I’m a fool for you
You’re the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth

Oooh…You set my soul alight
Oooh…You set my soul alight

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

(You set my soul)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole

#15 Razorlight – In The Morning

1 comentario

El regreso de Razorlight se dió con esta canción, menos de un año después de su single más exitoso, Somewhere Else, que fue el que realmente los llevó a otro nivel de popularidad en Inglaterra. In The Morning se quedó a nada de ser #1, pero afianzó la posición de Razorlight en la escena de rock inglesa. Y con razón, porque es una gran canción de esta banda mitad inglesa mitad sueca. Cada vez más cerca de terminar la lista.

Razorlight – In The Morning

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Maybe I’ve been here too long
The songs on the radio sound the same
Everybody just looks the same
But then last night was so much fun
And now your sheets are dirty
The streets are dirty too but
You never look back over what you’ve done
Remember when you were young
You’d lose yourself
In the morning, you know you won’t remember a thing
In the morning, you know it’s gonna be alright

Wake him up, warm him up
Put him on the stage, well
The boy can’t help it, it’s not his fault
Just a dangerous dangerous thing
But then every night’s still so much fun
And you’re still out there darling
Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
I never regret anything I’ve done

Remember when you were young
You’d lose yourself
In the morning you know he won’t remember a thing
In the morning you know it’s gonna be alright

In the morning, you know he won’t remember a thing
In the morning, you know it’s gonna be all. . .
In the morning, you know he won’t remember a thing
In the morning, you know it’s gonna be all’
In the morning, you know he won’t remember a thing
In the morning, you know it’s gonna be alright

Are you really gonna do it this time’
Are you really gonna do it this time’
Are you really gonna do it this time’
Are you really gonna do it this time’

You’ve got got to do it this time
Are you really gonna do it do it do what’
Are you really gonna do it do it do it yeah
Are you really gonna do it what

In the morning you know he won’t remember a thing
No not a thing and
In the morning you know he won’t remember a thing

#16 The Kooks – She Moves In Her Own Way

8 comentarios

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

1 comentario

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

1 comentario

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 Strokes – Heart 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

2 comentarios

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

9 comentarios

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

1 comentario

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

2 comentarios

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

3 comentarios

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

Have Been Changed

En Navidad los Stereophonics hicieron un break de las grabaciones de su nuevo disco. Kelly Jones un día se encontró solo en el estudio ensayando nuevos arreglos para Jayne, una canción vieja que fue incluida en el disco en vivo Live From Dakota, y que estaba en consideración para el nuevo disco. Cambiandola completamente de un rock de 3 minutos a una balada lenta de 5 y medio, Kelly penso que la nueva versión no iba acorde con las nuevas canciones de los Stereophonics, y se le ocurrió algo. Empezó a escribir mas canciones en ese tono y un día después tenía 11 canciones completas. El 7 de Enero grabó en un día todas las canciones, la mayoría en una sola toma y solo agregando batería, teclados y efectos en una que otra. Menos de una semana después, el disco estaba masterizado y listo para lanzarse. Solo disponible en línea, y en una versión muy limitada en Marzo, de manera que no sea elegible para los charts, este es Kelly Jones, lanzando su primer disco solista. El mismo dice que no refleja lo que sera el nuevo disco de los Stereophonics, y que solo son canciones que escribió en un par de días, así que no esperen mucho (eso dijo el), y queria compartirlas. Todas tienen una historia y el nombre de una chica.

Only The Names Have Been Changed

1. Suzy
2. Rosie
3. Liberty
4. Katie
5. Violet
6. Jayne

Si quieren mi opinión y para que vean como es, las mejores son Katie, Violet, Jayne, Suzy y Jean.

Pues hoy este blog cumple un año. Solo quería decir gracias a todos los que vienen, a los pocos pero constantes que firman, y a los que bajan (que cada día son mas). Al menos ha servido de algo, porque parece que incluso a gente que no le gustaba nada de esto sigue bajando las cosas. Así que eso es bueno. Mucho ha pasado en este año y pues algo se ha ido documentando aquí. También lo deje por un tiempo pero es que fue en lo que me adaptaba en el trabajo. Pero este año espero haya más cosas por aquí. Dejo dos canciones. La canción del día que es There She Is de Mumm-Ra, mi plato fuerte para este año y a los que les apuesto todo.

Y la otra claro, Oasis. ¿Que mas podía ser? Listen Up, acústica en vivo en Toronto (con todo y un berrinche de Noel al principio).

1 año.

Mañana continua la lista no se preocupen.

#24 Battle – Tendency

2 comentarios

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

1 comentario

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!

British Music, all the time
