Fields of the Nephilim - Celebrate

Probablemente mi canción favorita de los Nephilim. Minimalista, melancólica, magnífica.



Letras:

When the moment's right
Only moments rise
For the lesser blessed
It's all promises
When the daughters rise
From their comas rise
For a lesser blessed
It seems honest here
Celebrate give love and praise
Celebrate
For our lesser days
Obsessions in your eyes
The peril of my life
Where others fall
You came back again
With no grace in mind
For the magan blind
To a lesser god we'd seem honest here
And you'll turn
You'll find new highways
And you'll turn
But lady you'll burn
This moment's all you have it there
This moment hangs like your ragged hair
Celebrate
Give love and praise
Celebrate
For our lesser days
When the moment's right
Only moments rise
The eternal sea of silence
The shadows of mankind
And you'll turn
You'll find new highways
And you'll turn
You find new highways
Celebrate here
Celebrate here please
For all you've changed me
Celebrate here
Celebrate here
Celebrate for our lesser days

Laibach - Jesus Christ Superstar

Iván, te va a encantar.
Laibach, el grupo que hace las mejores versiones de temas... inesperados.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Passenger

Toda una institución en la música siniestra (y no sólo dentro de ese género), la Siouxsie y sus chillones, en esta ocasión versionando un tema de otra leyenda viva del rock, la Iguana.



Sé que este tema encantará a alguien ;)

Impagable, para quien se anime a los más de siete minutos, esta actuación del amigo Iggy Pop. Eso es una banda con paciencia y saber hacer, y lo demás son cuentos XD

La letra
****************************
I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the citys backside
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, theyre bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the citys a rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight
Singin la la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la la-la
Get into the car
Well be the passenger
Well ride through the city tonight
See the citys ripped insides
Well see the bright and hollow sky
Well see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He see the stars come out tonight
He sees the citys ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
cause it just belongs to you and me
So lets take a ride and see whats mine
Singing...
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his windows eye
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
Oh, lets ride and ride and ride and ride...
Singing...

Faith and the Muse - Cantus

Algo de medievalismo gótico, en particular Cantus, el tema más impresionante de Faith and the Muse, escisión apócrifa de Christian Death. Pronto, más, mucho más.



Letras (un fragmento):

saevym atque ferum vipereumque malum
quod pinnis volitans super aethera cuncta fatigat teneat possideat
semper suis amoribus perfruatur

(sí, cantan en latín)

La Dama se esconde - Princesa

Sí, es un grupo español. Reconozco que la música latina no me gusta prácticamente nada, y eso incluye la mayor parte de la música española. Pero existen grupos españoles que juegan con otro tipo de sonidos, alejados de la influencia latina y más cercanos a la música europea que a mí más me atrae (inglesa, alemana, escandinava...).
Este es el caso de La Dama se esconde, grupo ochentero por excelencia, y su mejor tema: Princesa.



En esta ocasión, dado que se trata de un tema en castellano, no pondré las letras.

The Mission - Like a Child Again

The Mission son, junto a The Sisters of Mercy y The Fields of the Nephilim, uno de los grupos más representativos de lo que se denominó new wave en los años ochenta. No en vano The Mission se formó como una escisión de The Sisters, aunque pronto ofrecieron su propio sonido, mezcla de los tonos oscuros que heredaban de su anterior grupo y las propias filias de Wayne Hussey, su cantante y líder.
Una de sus canciones más representativas de la segunda época (todavía están en activo, en lo que podríamos denominar como su tercera época) es este Like a Child Again, todo un canto al amor, una de las canciones románticas más hermosas que he podido escuchar en mi vida. Por supuesto, se la dedico a MJ.



Aquí os dejo la letra:

Im not scared anymore
Im not scared of the dark when I sleep with you
And Im feeling alive
And Im feeling strong again when Im with you
And it hits me
Just like a runaway train
And it blows me away
Just like a hurricane
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again

Im not trapped anymore
Between madonna and the whore when I lay with you
And the days run away
Like wild horses run away when Im with you
And Im breathing you in
Just like the morning air
And Im wrapping you around
Just like a skin to wear

Oh sweet thing
Im born once again
For you sweet thing
Just like a baby again
You make me happy and I hope you feel the same
And Im in heaven and it feels like a gentle rain
You make me happy and I want you to feel the same
You make me feel just like a child
A child again
