Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will

 

 

April come she will 
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain; 
May, she will stay, 
Resting in my arms again. 
June, she'll change her tune, 
In restless walks she'll prowl the night;
July, she will fly 
And give no warning to her flight. 
August, die she must, 
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold; 
September I'll remember 
A love once new has now grown old.

Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam (Nirvana, 1993)

«a rendition of an old Christian song, I think. But we do it the Vaselines' way»



Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee

Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry,
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for thee.

Paradise (Coldplay,2011)




When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly
And dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
She'd dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the sun must set to rise"
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Mötley Crüe - Home Sweet Home '91 (Official Video)



You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long and winding road

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together
At the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free

Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah yeah
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home

You're So Vain - Carly Simon,1972



You walked into the party
Like you were walking on to a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf, it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself Gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Oh, you had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
When you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse, naturally, won
Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain

Some Like It Hot (1959) - Marilyn Monroe, I'm Through With Love




I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love
I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I've stocked my heart
With icy, frigid air
And I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me to think you could care?
You didn't need me, you had your share
Of slaves around you to hound you and swear
With deep emotion, devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love
And so I'm through with
Baby, I'm through with love

Eagles - Learn To Be Still



It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell-
Learn to be still

Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet
There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will-
Learn to be still


Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'

(Anche se andassi
nella valle oscura
non temerei alcun male,
perché Tu sei sempre con me;

Perché Tu sei il mio bastone, il mio supporto,
Con Te io mi sento tranquillo.)
 «Salmo. Di Davide.
Il Signore è il mio pastore: non manco di nulla; su pascoli erbosi mi fa riposare, ad acque tranquille mi conduce.
Mi rinfranca, mi guida per il giusto cammino, per amore del suo nome.
Se dovessi camminare in una valle oscura, non temerei alcun male, perché tu sei con me. Il tuo bastone e il tuo vincastro mi danno sicurezza.
Davanti a me tu prepari una mensa sotto gli occhi dei miei nemici; cospargi di olio il mio capo. Il mio calice trabocca.
Felicità e grazia mi saranno compagne tutti i giorni della mia vita, e abiterò nella casa del Signore per lunghissimi anni.»

La dea fortuna





 
C'è una luna turchese diamante stanotte
che ferirebbe ogni cuore.
Sì,sono triste e mi manchi 
anche se ti cammino accanto
sempre caro sei stato al mio dolore.
















  

Perfino lontano da niente succede qualcosa. 
ma non qui.

Into the unknown




Ho avuto delle riserve sul primo film di Frozen,e ne ho anche su questo Frozen II - Il segreto di Arendelle,per ora però mi limito ad inserire la canzone principale della colonna sonora del film,che a me è piaciuta molto.


I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers which I wish would go away, oh
Whoa
You're not a voice, you're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't, I'm spoken for I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
 
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel your power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown?
Into the unknown
Into the unknown

Whoa
Are you out there?
Do you know me?
Can you feel me?
Can you show me?
ooh
 
Where are you going? Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?

House of the Rising Sun (Animals, 1964)



There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Dream On (Aerosmith)





Every time when I look in the mirror

All these lines on my face getting clearer

The past is gone

It went by, like dusk to dawn

Isn't that the way

Everybody's got the dues in life to pay


Yeah

I know nobody knows

Where it comes and where it goes

I know it's everybody sin

You got to lose to know how to win


Half my life's in books, written pages

Live and learn from fools and

From sages

You know it's true, oh

All the come back to you


Sing with me, sing for a year

Sing for the laughter, and sing for my tear

Sing with me, if it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away


Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear

Sing it with me, if it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away


Dream on Dream on

Dream on

Dream until the dream come true

Dream on Dream on

Dream on

Dream until your dream come true

Dream on Dream on Dream on

Dream on Dream on

Dream on Dream on


Sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear

Sing with me, if it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear

Sing it with me, if it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Queen - Somebody To Love (Official Video)






Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror And cry (and cry) 
Lord what you're doing to me? I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!

Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Yeah

I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life
I work till I ache in my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love?

(He works hard)
Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Ah, got no common sense
(He's got) Got nobody left to believe

Ooh somebody
Ooh (somebody)
Anybody find me somebody to love!
(Anybody find me someone to love!)

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (just keep losing and losing)
I'm okay, I'm alright (he's alright, he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah, yeah)
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day I'm gonna be free, Lord

Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody)

(Find me somebody to love) (Find me somebody to love) (Find me somebody to love)
Find me, find me, find me...

Niente da capire (Francesco De Gregori,1974)




E' troppo tempo amore
Che noi giochiamo a scacchi
Mi dicono che stai vincendo
E ridono da matti


Ma io non lo sapevo
Che era una partita
Posso dartela vinta
E tenermi la mia vita.

Queen - '39 (live 1979)




No,ma che meraviglia è questa canzone?
Me la dedico finchè sono anch'io ancora ancora per poco nei 39,nella versione live del mio anno di nascita.

Devo dire però,e questo ovviamente senza nulla togliere a Freddie Mercury,che la versione che preferisco è quella in cui il vocalist è l'autore di questo capolavoro,Brian May.

Sono solo parole



Avere l’impressione di restare sempre al
punto di partenza
E chiudere la porta per lasciare il mondo
fuori dalla stanza
Considerare che sei la ragione per cui io
vivo
Questo è o non è
amore
Cercare un equilibrio che svanisce ogni
volta che parliamo
E fingersi felici di una vita che non è come
vogliamo
E poi lasciare che la nostalgia passi da sola
E prenderti le mani e dirti ancora
Sono solo parole
Sono solo parole
Sono solo parole le nostre
Sono solo parole
Sperare che domani arrivi in fretta e che
svanisca ogni pensiero
Lasciare che lo scorrere del tempo renda
tutto un po’ più chiaro
Perché la nostra vita in fondo non è
nient’altro che
Un attimo eterno un attimo
Tra me e te
Sono solo parole
Sono solo parole
Le nostre
sono solo parole
Sono solo parole parole parole, parole
E ora penso che il tempo che ho passato
con te
ha cambiato per sempre ogni parte di me
Tu sei stanco di tutto e io non so cosa dire
Non troviamo il motivo neanche per litigare
Siamo troppo distanti distanti tra noi
Ma le sento un po’ mie le paure che hai
Vorrei stringerti forte e dirti che non è
niente
Posso solo ripeterti ancora
Sono solo parole
Sono solo parole
Le nostre
Sono solo parole
Le nostre
Sono solo parole
Sono solo parole parole parole parole
Sono solo parole.



E poi niente,cercavo il video originale della versione di Noemi,ma per ora non l'ho trovato,così intanto ne ho inserito uno che mi piace molto.
