Let me in

Esta canción de REM en su disco más eléctrico, Monster.

Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter,
Promises are sweet,
We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up

Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in

I only wish that I could hear you whisper down,
Mister fisherman, to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try

Hey, let me in. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in, let me in

I had a mind to try to stop you. Let me in, let me in
I've got tar on my feet and I can't see
All the birds look down and laugh at me
Clumsy, crawling out of my skin

Hey, let me in. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in.

Heart of Gold de Neil Young

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold.

 It's these expressions
I never give
That keeps me searching
For a heart of gold.


And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old. 


I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
For a heart of gold.

I've been in my mind,
It’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching
For a heart of gold.

And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
For a heart of gold
And I'm getting old


Keep me searching
For a heart of gold
You keep me searching
For a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.
I've been a miner
For a heart of gold.
 
Para seguir escuchando a Neil, Old man, también de Harvest, o de su disco Zuma, Danger Bird.

Noche de verano


Una versión acustica de Little Wing de Jimi Hendrix.
Ahora sí, la versión con letra en voz de Hendrix:

"Well she's walking through the clouds (...)

When I’m sad, she comes to me
with a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
It’s alright, she says, it’s alright.
Take anything you want from me.
Anything.
Fly on, little wing"













Son muchos los que han hecho versiones de esta canción, Sting se la cargó al castellanizarla :-) como "venganza" la hispanización de fragilidad del susodicho por parte de Buena Vista Social Club. No es la única versión que hicieron, al de Clocks de Coldplay hasta mola. Pero mejor cada cual a lo suyo: Ibrahim Ferrer y compañia y su Chan Chan
