Strawberry Fields Forever




Strawberry Field era un hogar para niños en un suburbio de Liverpool, cerca de donde vivió su infancia un jovencísimo John Lennon



 Detrás del edifico había una zona boscosa que John apodo "Strawberry Fields", donde paso parte de su infancia.
Los más cercanos a el dicen que este fue el lugar donde se inspiró para ser músico.


 Y es que John veía a los niños jugar tras esas puertas rojizas, y se imaginaba como hubiese sido su infancia si todo fuera así de fácil, ya que apenas conoció a su padre y paso su infancia con su tía "Mimi".

El nombre de la casa se hizo mundialmente famoso cuando en 1967 con el sencillo lanzado por The Beatles "Strawberry FIelds Forever", escrita por Lennon.
Su madre falleció un año mas tarde, haciendo así de este sencillo, una pieza emotiva para el.


El grupo de Manchester , Oasis, quiso recordar esta pieza en un acústico por parte de Noel Gallagher

‘Johnny B. Goode’ (Chuck Berry)

‘Johnny B. Goode’ (Chuck Berry)



Una de las canciones más versionadas del a historia:

Así nació: La canción que todo aspirante a estrella del rock ha tarareado alguna vez es esta pieza “más o menos autobiográfica” que en 1958 lanzó al estrellato a un graduado en maquillaje y peluquería de nombre Chuck Berry. El autor cambió “that little colored boy” (“ese pequeño chico de color”) por “country boy” (“chico de campo”) para llegar a un público más amplio. El nombre de Johnny era un homenaje al pianista Johnnie Johnson, con el que Chuck tocó en numerosas ocasiones durante los 50. En el año 2000, Johnson se querelló sin éxito contra Berry, reclamando que había sido el coautor de muchos de sus temas (incluido éste).
Las mejores lecturas: Keith Richards dijo: “Fue la primera canción de rock que escuché en mi vida”. Es lógico, por eso, que se introdujera en el repertorio de muchos grandes del género, desde los Beatles (fantástica lectura en las sesiones de la BBC) a Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Grateful Dead, Al Kooper, los Stones, Hendrix o nuestros Burning. Johnny Halliday también la hizo suya en francés, como Johnny, reviens!
Visiones insólitas:  Algunos de los chicos más pastoriles de las praderas americanas quisieron ganar pedigrí con esta canción, caso de los Carpenters o John Denver. Los aspavientos de estos angelotes por parecer rockeros aguerridos resultaban un tanto patéticos. Incluso el por entonces ídolo de jovencitas Leif Garrett grabó (1977) este himno.
Abajo, la versión de Leif Garrett acompañada de un montaje con fotos del ídolo adolescente. Tremendo




Una versión más rokera , la encontramos en Jimi Hendrix


Y por supuesto, no puede faltar la version de Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) en Regreso al Futuro parte 1, razón por la cuál el público más joven conoce esta canción

The Money Makers

Abrimos el año con este grupazo español y su tema presentación " Hold On"

Noel Gallagher´s High Flying Birds

LLegó el día , el pasado 17 de Octubre, en el que salía a la venta el primer disco en solitario de Noel Gallagher, para muchos el disco más esperado desde que los hermanos de Manchester comenzaron a pisar los escenarios.

Ya lo advirtió "Si te gusta lo que hago te encontrarás sorpresas, pero si no te gusta lo que hago, me odiarás aún mas"

El NGHFB es un disco muy personal, donde la mayoría de los temas pueden sonar parecido, y donde faltan temas rockeros y que te hagan saltar de la silla, aunque conociendo su trayectoria sabemos que siempre le han gustado más los temas de guitarra acústica, conciertos en teatros y canciones más personales.
No obstante es un disco para disfrutar con canciones que se te pegarán desde la primera escucha

1. Everybody´s on the run


You can't find the feeling
And all is the same, morning rain
You know, you know

Coming out of the ceiling
Falling from above
Going in and out of love

Our broken heart is still beating
In and out of time, hold your body next to mine
You know, you know

But you can't stop the beating
Sing to yourself and hold on

'Cause everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run

Hang in there love
You gotta hold on
Hang in there love
You gotta hold on

'Cause everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run

You've been dripping and stealing
Tried to walk in my shoes
But they don't belong to you
You know, they know

But you can't find the meaning
Sing to yourself and hold on

'Cause everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run

Hang in there love
You gotta hold on
Hang in there love
You gotta hold on

'Cause everybody is on the run

Hang in there love
You gotta hold on
Hang in there love
You gotta hold on

'Cause everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run

Hang in there love
You gotta hold on
You gotta be strong enough for love
You know, you know (3x)

Hang in there love
You gotta hold on

'Cause everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run
Everybody is on the run

2. Dream On


Oh me, oh my, i'm running out of batteries
I'm hanging from the ladder
The tears you cried are only meant to flatter me
That shit don't matter at all, taking the shots as i fall
Watching the wheels that go round and round
Serene in the air 'cause i love you lady

I dream on, ohhh, 'cause that songbird singing
Shout it out for me, shout it out for me, so come on now

One day at a time, i'm hiding from the razor blade
That's hanging in the kitchen
The kids are tired, they drunk up all their lemonade
The bitch keeps bitching and all, taking the shots as i fall
Wait for the wheels to come round and round
Serene in the air 'cause i love you lady

I dream on, ohhh, 'cause that songbird singing
Shout it for me, shout it for me, ohhh
Dream on, ohhh, 'cause it's got no meaning
Shout it for me, shout it for me
She go, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I dream on, ohhh, 'cause that songbird singing
Shout it for me, shout it for me, ohhh
Dream on, ohhh, 'cause it's got no meaning
Shout it for me, shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me

3. If I Had a Gun


If I had a gun
I'd shoot a hole into the sun
Love would burn the city down for you
If I had the time
I'd stop the world and make you mine
And everyday would stay the same with you

Give you back the dream
Show you now what might have been
For the tears you cried would fade away
I'll be by your side
When they come and say goodbye
We will live to find another day

Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always
Followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only
God that I've ever need
I'm holding on and waiting for the moment
To find me

Hope I didn't speak too soon
My eyes have always
Followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only
God that I've ever need
I'm holding on and waiting for the moment
For my heart to be unbroken
By the sea

Let me fly you to the moon
My eyes have always
Followed you around the room
'Cause you're the only
God that I've ever need
I'm holding on and waiting for the moment
To find me

If I had a gun
I'd shoot a hole into the sun
Love would burn this city down for you

4. The Death Of You And Me


High tide, summer in the city
The kids are looking pretty
But isn't it a pity
That the sunshine is followed by thunder
And thoughts of going under
And is it any wonder

When the sea calling out to me
I seem to spend my whole life running
From people who would be
The death of you and me
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds
Sucking up my soul

High tide, life is getting faster
No one has the answer
I try to face the day now in a new way
The bottom of the bottom
'Cause every man's a puzzle

Let's run away together you and me
Forever we'd be free
Free to spend our whole lives running
From people who would be
The death of you and me
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds
Sucking up my soul

Let's run away to sea
Forever we'd be free
Free to spend our whole lives running
From people who would be
The death of you and me
'Cause I can feel the storm clouds coming

I'm watching my TV
Or is it watching me?
I see another new day dawning
It's rising over me, with my mortality
And I can feel the storm clouds
Sucking up my soul

5. (I Wanna Live in a Dream in My) Record Machine



Help me, define the light that's shining on me,
To get back what they've taken from me,
and build a little fire where it's cold

Show me, the path that leads to all the glory
The words that tell a sacred story,
and build a little fire where it’s cold

I wanna live in a dream
In my record machine
I want a piece of the world
And every one inside my mouth
Cos all the money I waste,
Is it a manner of taste
I want a piece of the world a
And you can't make me spit it out

Take me, back from the darkness where they sent me,
Give hope to places to where it can't be,
and build a little fire where it’s cold

I wanna live in a dream (I wanna live in a dream)
In my record machine (in my record machine)
I want a piece of the world
And every one inside my mouth

And all the money I waste, (and all the money I waste)
Is it a manner of taste (is in a manner of taste)
I want a piece of the world
And you can't make me spit it out

You can't give me a reason, I don't need one to shine
You can't give me the feelings cos they're already mine
You get one in a million and if the sun won't rise
On my soul, then I'll glow

6. AKA ... What a LIFE!



Someday you might find your hero
Some say you might lose your mind
I'm keeping my head down now for the summer
I'm outta of my mind let me pull me another
I'm gonna take that tiger outside for a ride

What a Life!
What a Life!

Keep on chasing down that rainbow
You'll never know what you might find
Over the sunset on the horizon
Maybe you'll dream but it tastes like poison
I'm gonna take that tiger outside for a ride

What a Life!
What a Life!
What a Life!
What a Life!

What a Life!
What a Life!
What a Life!
What a Life!

Someday you might find your hero
Some say you might lose your mind
Wohoo
Wohoo

7. Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks



Are gathered round their tv screens
To hear the government about speak
About solider boys and jesus freaks

They go on heaven on their holidays
The congregation hopes and prays
They leave their letters in the mail box
For lonely souls they could not save

Off and on i used hear the call
But she was just a baby doll
And all around them were the holy men
Who twist the word of way back when

She willl kiss the sky
And shelter the world from the rail

Put another record record on the jukebox
She might dance the night away

On and on we go
And the rest of the world outside
God may soon explode
And there is no place we might hide
(x2)

On and on we go
And we kiss this world behind
Goodbye and on and on and on and on

All the people on the village green
Are gathered round their tv screens
To hear the government about speak
About solider boys and jesus freaks

8. AKA ... Broken Arrow



A fallen angel
A broken arrow
She come for me and eased my troubled mind

Shine a light out
Into the shadows
All the world they made me leave behind

Leave me peace I'm on the side of the angels
And if I die in dream
Let me live my life
But all lies they have told me
They make me wanna shiver
And I'm lost and I'm lonely
And that's not gunna ease my troubled mind

She wrote it over
A misty morning
Set the sail for all ends blown
She's a siren and I'm a warning
Here to say I never told you so

Leave me peace I'm on the side of the angels
If I die in a dream then
Let me live my life
But all the lies they have told me
They make me wanna shiver
And I'm lost and I'm lonely
And that's not gunna ease my troubled mind

Leave me peace I'm all alone with my angel
She's dying in a dream
So I could live my life
But all the lies they have told me
They make me wanna shiver
When I'm lost and I'm lonely
And that's not gunna ease my troubled mind
That's not gunna ease my troubled mind

A fallen angel
A broken arrow
She come for me and eased my troubled mind

Shine a light out
Into the shadows
All the world they made me leave behind

9. (Stranted On) The Wrong Beach



Falling
I see you on the way down
I'll meet you on the rebound
somewhere in between

Calling
out across the airwaves
faces that you can't say
are calling out for me

And oh me oh my
say so long baby bye bye
pour me one for the road
it's a long journey baby
where it's gonna take me
just depends on the weight of my load
oh no
depends on the weight of my load

So long
see you in the next one
cause everyone been and gone
there's no one here but

And oh me oh my
say so long baby bye bye
pour me one for the road
it's a long journey baby
where it's gonna take me just
depends on the weight of my load
oh no
depends on the weight of my load

And oh me oh my
say so long baby bye bye
pour me one for the road
it's a long journey baby
where it's gonna take me just
depends on the weight of my load
oh no
depends on the weight of my load
depends on the weight of my load

Dry land
sinking in the quicksand
stranded on the wrong beach
come and rescue me

10. Stop The Clocks



Stop the clocks and turn the world around
Let your love lay me down
And when the night is over
There'll be no sound

Lock the box and leave it all behind
On the backseat of my mind
And when the night is over
Where will i rise?

What if i'm already dead
How would i know?
What if i'm already dead
How would i know?

Lost inside my head, behind the wall
Do they hear me when i call?
And when the night is over
Where will i fall?

And when the fight is over
Where will i fall?

What if i'm already dead
How would i know?
But if i'm already dead
How would i know?

Stop the clocks and turn the world around
Let your love lay me down
And when the night is over
There'll be no sound
And now the night is over
There'll be no sound
And now my fight is over
There'll be no sound
