Jolene...

Hace más de un año que no aparece por aquí uno de mis cantautores favoritos: Ray Lamontagne. Hace unos días vi la ultima película de Ben Affleck, The Town, en la que Ray tiene una canción en la banda Sonora. Jolene es la canción a la que me refiero... otra canción llena de sensibilidad; otra genialidad del hombre de New Jersey; otra canción para no olvidar...

¡Mañana habrá sorpresa ;-) !

Lyrics - Ray Lamontagne

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same
Jolene

I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze on my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
in the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene
Ah, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene

Been so long since I seen your face
or felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
A man needs something he can hold onto
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene

If you Just be kind to me...

Ray Lamontagne. Tenia claro que iba a ser el artista de hoy, pero mientras conducía cantando sus canciones no sabia cual de ellas poner hoy; pase toda la tarde noche escuchando y pensando cual iría mejor con mi día de hoy. Al final me decante por una de mis canciones favoritas del Señor Lamontagne, Hannah. Esta canción la tengo asociada a una noche de Diciembre, recién llegado de Marruecos en la que pase una noche de cervezas con mis amigos en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Llovía débilmente, yo también iba débilmente embriagado por tantas horas de charla acompañadas con su correspondiente cerveza, y en mi Mp3 sonaba esta canción, genial cuando tienes toda la calle Triana para ti solo. Pocas cosas me gustan tanto como una caminata en un fresca noche por una ciudad desierta con mi Mp3 sonando sobre mi queridisimo gorro Noruego :)

Feliz Día y Un Abrazo Enorme!

Lyrics - Ray Lamontagne

I lost all of my vanity
when I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with you
I never knew a man fall so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds turn into gold when I kissed your hair
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

Ask her why she cries so loud
She Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness
In a Cold and lonely room
Sweep the floor with your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a broom
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

She's got hair that flows right down
Right down to the backs of her knees
Her Papa he was a preaching man
And the lord is hard to please
So she comes down from the ozark hills
To these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you just be kind to me

I'd walk one mile on this broken glass
to fall down at your feet
Oh Hannah you're the queen of the street

I climb the tree withy my Hannahlee
My intentions they were pure
Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip
I tumbled towards the earth
Where You never would guess who it was that stood below
And his name I would never tell
But His eyes were clear
And His arms were strong
And caught me as I fell

Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'd just be kind to me
I'd walk one mile on broken glass
to fall down at your feet

Hannah you're the queen of the street
Hannah you're the queen of the street

La Ciega y el Diablo....

Hoy les traigo una carátula nueva. Esta vez del disco de Ray Lamontagne. Me encanta, es simplemente fantástica. El diablo bailando con una joven que tiene los ojos vendados. La verdad es que lo primero que pensé fue " joer, así es la vida algunas veces", podemos pensar que estamos con una persona completamente diferente a la que en verdad es. A veces puede ser un diablo, pero otras veces, por suerte, puede que la persona sea un ángel. Y esta es mi portada de la semana...¿ qué les parece :) ?

Y ya de paso les pongo una canción de este cantautor norteamericano. Ray que decidió dejar su trabajo en una fabrica de zapatos y intentar hacer carrera en la música seguro que nunca se ha arrepentido de esa decisión. Y nosotros tampoco. Con su facilidad para expresar situaciones de la vida con gran sensibilidad ha ido creando canciones preciosas. Una de ellas, "Trouble" canción que le da el nombre al disco y que aquí les dejo para que disfrutéis ^_^ !

Feliz Domingo [ y todavía queda el lunes de vacaciones : ) ! ]

Lyrics - Ray Lamontagne

Trouble...
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry...Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
We'll I've been...saved by a woman
I've been...saved by a woman
I've been...saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
Trouble...
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
She come around and knock me down again
Worry...Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry
Sometimes I swear it feels
like this worry is my only friend
We'll I've been saved...by a woman
I've been saved...by a woman
I've been saved...by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
Oh..., Ahhhh....Ohhhh
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
She good tell me now
She gave me love and affection
I Said I love her
Yes I love herI said I love her
I said I love...She good to me now
She's good to me
She's good to me
