Hallelujah

Rufus Wainwright, 2001

(Escuchar en Goear.com)

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

'The Spell' - Uriah Heep

 (Escuchar en Goear.com)

What do you think I am
Do you think I'm dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming
Who d'you think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and
Turn it upside down
When it should be round
Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from
The evils of your mind
I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire
I'll fill you with fear
So you know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool
It's no good you pretending
There'll be no happy ending
I'm alive and darkness is my tool
But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away
What you have done
And leave you cold
I have no need for moonlight
You're wrong to trust in sunlight
For I exist not just in storms
But in life itself in so many forms
To leave you cold
I will leave you now
But you won't defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me
Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner
Of the world
You will never break the spell
I'll summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice
For what it's worth
Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win
Be sure you're watching me
'Cause all through your life
Everyday and everynight
You should know that
I'll be watching you

Somebody To Love

George Michael & Queen, 1993

(Escuchar en Goear.com)

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 in the mirror 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
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

'Two Young Lovers' - Dire Straits

 (Escuchar en Goear.com)

It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said, 'i don't dance'
He said, 'baby let me teach you'
She said, 'o.k., when? '
He said, 'how can I reach you baby
I'd really like to see you again'
He picked her up on a friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet
And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor
Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek
And he walked her home and he kissed her
He was walking on air all week
Well, they couldn't stand to be apart
They couldn't leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, 'it's getting late sweetheart
It's time that boy went home'
And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said, 'here's to the two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness'
It was the last day of summer
They came walking home hand in hand
They went and told her mama
They showed her the wedding band
Mama cried and poured the wine
Papa just said God bless
Now, here's to the two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness

The Sound Of Silence

Emiliana Torrini, 1996

(Escuchar en Goear.com)

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

 (Escuchar en Goear.com)

All you got is this moment
Ttwenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah that's okay
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you girl
That makes me sweat
How do you feel
I'm lonely
What do you think
Can't take it all
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna live my life

Black Hole Sun

Peter Frampton, 2009

(Escuchar en Goear.com)

In my eyes, Indisposed,
In disguise As no one knows.
Hides the face, Lies the snake,
And the sun In my disgrace.
Boiling heat, Summer stench.
'Neath the black The sky looks dead.
Call my name Through the cream,
And I'll hear you Scream again.

Black hole sun, Won't you come
And wash away the rain? Black hole sun,
Won't you come? Won't you come?
Won't you come?

Stuttering, Cold and damp,
Steal the warm wind Tired friend.
Times are gone For honest men
And sometimes, Far too long
For snakes.

In my shoes, A walking sleep,
And my youth I pray to keep.
Heaven send Hell away, No one
Sings like you anymore.

Brothers In Arms

Alex Cornish, 2010

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
