Nº 17: RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "YOU´VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING" (1963)

RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS era el dúo que se forma en Los Angeles en 1963, con Bill Medley y Bobby Hatfield. Son históricos del pop norteamericano con canciones como "Unchained Melody", que en su versión triunfarán en los 60 y en los 90 (al ser incluída en la banda sonora de la exitosa película "Ghost" ), o esta maravillosa "You´ve lost that loving feeling" que es la protagonista de mi entrada de hoy.
Tema que se coloca en lo más alto de las listas de Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, como motor mundial de la musica juvenil. Estamos en 1963, escuchen esta joya musical, en unas voces perfectamente empastadas que se combinaban a la perfección:

LA LETRA

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...

You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.

You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.

We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.

So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.

Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back).

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
and I can't go on,
noooo...

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...

Nº 16: MADONNA "Frozen" (1998)

Canción de mi vida número 16 para MADONNA. La reina del pop tiene su espacio también en este Blog personal. El tema elegido es "Frozen", un tema que salió en 1998 en forma de sencillo, y que fué un impactante éxito de la cantante. Extraído del álbum "Ray of Light", el tema es muy diferente a todo lo que hasta esa fecha había grabado la artista. Sonidos electrónicos y orquesta espectacular con solos de violines, para una canción de larga duración que, de nuevo lanzó a la estrella a lo más alto de la cúspide mundial.
Arropada asimismo por un video clip brillante, con múltiples efectos, que catapultan aún más el impacto mediático de esta gran canción.

LA LETRA


"Frozen"

[Verse:]

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

[Chorus:]

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

[chorus]
[verse]
[chorus, repeat]

If I could melt your heart

Nº 15: URGE OVERKILL "Girl, You´ll be a Woman soon" (1994)

URGE OVERKILL es un grupo de rock alternativo originario de Chicago que, desde mediados de los 80 está en actividad musical. Poco conocido en España, hasta que grabaron la canción "Girl, You´ll be a Woman soon" del gran Neil Diamond, para ser incluída en la banda sonora de la película de Quentin Tarantino "Pulp fiction". Estamos en 1994, y es un auténtico éxito mundial.
(como muchos de los grupos de rock, ha tenido alternancias de miembros, con problemas con drogas y desavenencias entre miembros y alguna pelea).
 Lo verdaderamente importante es su música, ésta:

LA LETRA

Love you so much can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down and
I never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know

Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/gDZ]
Soon, you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl,
just cuts like a knife

"The boy's no good"
Well, I finally found what
I've been lookin' for
But if they get a chance
they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby I've done all I could it's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man
(NEIL DIAMOND)
