Ventilator blues

Stones y más Stones! Ahí va una versión del Ventilator Blues de los Stones interpretada por Clarenece "Gatemouth" Brown.

When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake,
Heart is bursting and you butt's gonna break.
Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream,
You feel like murder in the first degree.

Ain't nobody slowing down no way,
Ev'rybody's stepping on their accelerator,
Don't matter where you are,
Ev'rybody's gonna need a ventilator.

When you're trapped and circled with no second chances,
Your code of living is your gun in hand.
We can't be browed by beating, we can't be cowed by words,
Messed by cheating, ain't gonna ever learn.

Ev'rybody walking 'round,
Ev'rybody trying to step on their Creator.
Don't matter where you are, ev'rybody, ev'rybody gonna
Need some kind of ventilator, some kind of ventilator.

What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do?
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it?

Y un vídeo de "Gatemouth" en directo, todo un maestro!

Far away eyes

I was driving home early sunday morning through bakersfield
listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
and the preacher said, "you know you always have the
lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that i ran
twenty red lights in his honor
thank you jesus, thank you lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and i was kind of late
and I thought by the time i got there she'd be off
she'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
much to my surprise, there she was sittin in the corner
a little bleary, worse for wear and tear
was a girl with far away eyes

So if you're down on your luck
and you can't harmonize
find a girl with far away
and if you're downright disgusted
and life ain't worth a dime
get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of jesus
located somewhere in los angeles, california
and next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
and all my dreams would come true

So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
find a girl with far away eyes
and if you're downright disgusted
and life ain't worth a dime
get a girl with far away eyes

Luxury

I want a real fine car, fly Miami too
All the rum, I want to drink it, all the whiskey too
My woman need a new dress, my daughter got to go to school
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury

You can't call me lazy on a seven day a week
Make a million for the Texans, twenty dollar me
Yes, I want a gold ring, riding in a limousine
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury

Now listen, I'm a proud man, not a beggar walking on the street
I'm working so hard, to keep you from the poverty
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury, oh yeah
I'm working so hard, I'm working so hard
Harder, harder, working, working, working

I think it's such a strange thing, giving me concern
Half the world it got nothing the other half got money to burn
My woman need a new dress, my daughter got to go to school
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company, oh, yeah
I'm working so hard, oh, yeah

Working on a Sunday in refinery
Make a million for the Texans, twenty dollar me
All the rum, I want to drink it, I got responsibility
I'm working so hard to keep you from the poverty, oh, yeah
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company, oh, yeah
I'm working so hard, oh, yeah
Harder, harder, working, working...

Ladies & Gentlemen

Learning the game

Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game

When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game

When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of

Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game

When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of

Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game

That's when you're learning the game

Como siempre, sólo buenas palabras para este hombre!

Saludos to everyone!

Studying Days

Pues eso, que estos días estoy estudiando algo más de lo normal para sacarme el first y otras cosas que poco importan aquí así que nada, no me pasaré too much por los blogs vecinos pero no estoy desaparecido del todo :)

Hoy he vuelto para homenajear a Charlie Watts ya que hoy cumple 69 años el chaval!

Un gigante de las baquetas, una gran persona, un Rolling Stone de los pies a la cabeza, que más se puede pedir!

Felicidades Charlie!

a la fiesta se han apuntado los hermanos Young (como de la familia)

Un poco de Rock n' Roll

Little Queenie (Chuck Berry)

I got the lumps in my throat
When I saw her coming down the aisle
I gets the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled

There she is again standing over by the record machine
Oooh, she's looking like a model on the cover of a magazine
Why she's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile, I was thinking
She's in the mood
No need to break it
I got the chance
I oughtta take it
She can dance
We can make it
Come on queenie
Let's shake it

Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Won't ya tell me who the queen's
Standing over by the record machine
Why she's looking like a model
On the cover of a magazine
Yeah she's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile, I was still thinkin'
If it's a slow song, we'll omit it
If it's a rocker, that'll get it
If it's good, she'll admit it
Come on queenie, lets get with it

Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Buen fin de semana!

Get off of my cloud

Cara A del single que siguió a (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (casi nada...)

Get Off Of My Cloud

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby

The telephone is ringing
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?"

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around, baby, two's a crowd

Shine A Light

Los Rolling Stones filmados por el prestigioso Martin Scorsese acompañado de un lujoso equipo técnico formado por directores de fotografía de películas como el Aviador, Misión Imposible 3, El Señor de los Anillos, Braveheart, Sleepy Hollow y un largo etcétera. El resultado es un brillante concierto de los Stones filmado por un grandioso director y fan declarado de la banda, que ha sabido sacar lo mejor de estos cuatro abuelos en un concierto íntimo, intenso y repleto de sorpresas.

Cuando el concierto se grabó, los Rolling estaban de gira presentando su álbum "A bigger bang" con lo que en su agenda no aparecía ninguna actuación en un recinto con capacidad inferior a las 30000 personas y la idea de Scorsese era la de filmar un show en un espacio más reducido, para acercarse más a la banda y mostrarnos a unos Stones que no estamos acostumbrados a ver, así que al final se consiguió realizar el concierto en el Beacon Theatre de Nueva York ante unos pocos afortunados que tuvieron la suerte de aparecer en este "Shine a Light".

El teatro aparece majestuoso en el film, el efecto de las luces junto con la decoración del escenario le dan un aspecto inmejorable a la película. El tema de las luces se ha cuidado mucho más que en un concierto habitual de los Stones (y no es que éstos se cuiden poco de la iluminación) pero es que ni los Rolling ni Scorsese querían filmar un show más (para eso no habría sido necesario llamar a Martin ni realizar un show en un teatro), lo que se buscaba era enseñar al mundo a la banda de rock más grande del planeta de la forma más espectacular e íntima posible y eso es lo que ha hecho Scorsese con "Shine a Light".



El set list elegido por la banda (o Mick Jagger) recoge temas que tocan cada noche desde hace más de 40 años con otros que no acostumbran a tocar casi nunca, lo que se agradece mucho, ya que con un repertorio de tantas y tantas canciones no está mal que hayan cambiado el set para la ocasión. Los invitados al concierto son Jack White (de White Stripes), Buddy Guy (Jimi Hendrix aprendió a tocar la guitarra observando a este hombre) y Christina Aguilera que se pega unos buenos bailes con Mick.

El film incluye entrevistas con la banda, casi todas bastante curiosas, algunas de hace cuarenta y tantos años y otras recientes.
