Para Portadas Miticas...

Sin duda Abbey Road es una de las portadas más influyentes de la historia de la música. ¿Cuántas versiones de esta imagen se han hecho desde que The Beatles sacaron a luz este disco allá por 1969? Pues infinidad, solo hace falta echar un vistazo al google imágenes para ello...

Aunque The Beatles no ha sido nunca uno de mis iconos musicales, que se dieron en esa epoca [ soy más de Bob Dylan], no dejo de apreciar los buenísimos que son, lo que han influido en la música y de admiradlos... porque, sin lugar a dudas, son unos genios. Podría ponerle miles de canciones de esta gente, pero en vez de poner uno de esos temas que tantas veces hemos escuchado: Yesterday, Michelle [ que era mi primera opción ], Let it be, Penny Lane, etc. Voy a dejarles con una de esos temas menos famosos, pero igualmente geniales, Rocky Raccoon [ si os fijais, aqui se ven las influencias que podrían haber tenido de Bob Dylan... esa armonica es muy suya ;-) ]

Lyrics - The Beatles

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of dakota
There lived a young boy named rocky raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young rocky in the eye, rocky didn't like that
He said Im gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky raccoon checked into his room
Only to find gideons bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was magil and she called herself lil
But everyone knew her as nancy

Now she and her man who called himself dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said danny boy this is a showdown
But daniel was hot - he drew first and shot
And rocky collapsed in the corner

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said rocky you met your match
And rocky said, doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able

Now rocky raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find gideons bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good rockys revival

HELP ME !

Hoy me pega esta canción. No os asusteís, no es nada. Solo que tengo dudas sobre mi futuro académico/laboral xD. ¿ Qué Master hago ? Tengo dos opciones, una que habia pensado desde hace tiempo hacer... y otra totalmente distinta que me llama la atención, tal vez incluso más que el primero... ¡Esa es la gran duda existencial de hoy! ¿ Algún consejo ? Los Beatles dieron en el clavo con esta canción... Help!

Feliz Día !

Lyrics - The Beatles

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

I'd like to be under the sea...

Me pase todo el jueves Santo canturreando esta canción y he seguido hasta el día de hoy. Si es que los Beatles otra cosa no, pero canciones pegadizas tienen para parar un tren. Y es que incluso esta, escrita por Ringo Star, es de las que no te quitas de la cabeza facilmente. Por mi genial, me gusta esta canción, es simple si, pero alegre también. Y es que como dice Ankara "yo soy más de Beatles"...

Feliz Día...

PD: La entrada de mañana tiene sorpresa ^_^!

Lyrics - Ringo Star

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.

Hoy es un día simplemente duro. ¿Por qué? Hoy mi perra falleció. La verdad es que ante la típica pregunta de "¿Eres de perros o gatos?", siempre respondía con rotundidad a favor de los felinos. Pero, [ porque siempre hay un pero ], decía "excepto mis 2 perros", un Cocker que se llama Tristán, y la que hoy nos dejó, Shaila, una Samoyedo de más de 13 años. Un verdadero encanto de perra, cariñosa, juguetona, lista, incluso graciosa, que a veces cuesta creerlo si nunca has tenido una mascota. En fin, que hoy, estoy pensando en los momentos que compartí con Shaila y no dude en dedicarle esta entrada. Lo que me llevo un poco más de tiempo fue encontrar la canción apropiada. Pero, hace años descubrí [ en una de mis incursiones por el reino de los Beatles ] que Paul McCartney le dedicó una canción de amor a su perra Martha, así que la voy a utilizar para darle un mínimo homenaje a mi Shaila :) Hasta Siempre !

Un Saludo Y Feliz Fin de Semana :) !









Lyrics - Paul McCartney

Martha my dear though
I spend my days in conversation
Please Remember me
Martha my love
Don't forget me Martha my dear
Hold your head up you
silly girl look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Take a
good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and
me were meant to be for each other
Silly girl
Hold your hand out you
silly girl see what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Martha
my dear you have always been my inspiration
Please
Be good to me Martha
my love
Don't forget me Martha my dear
