love love love, Of monsters and men.


Maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart awayAnd maybe I'm a crook for not caring for itAnd maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad personWell baby, I know
And these fingertips, they'll never run through your skinThose bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a roomFilled with people that are less important than you
Because you love, love, love when you know I can't love
You love, love, love when you know I can't loveYou love, love, love when you know I can't love, you…
So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on itThe way you held me so tight all through the nightIt was near morning
Because you love, love, love when you know I can't loveYou love, love, love when you know I can't loveYou love, love, love when you know I can't love, you...

At Home - Crystal Fighters


Remember how I said that comes one day baby
How I said I come around to see you one day
I said I tried to find the way to run away I get away some day
When it comes one day baby
I gonna fly around the world to you and said
I gonna fly around the world to try to find you again and said

I never thought I'll see you again
I never thought I get to be with my best friend
I never thought I've got to tell you again
I never thought I've got to tell you I lost my mind again

I left alone
I left the world I was running
to be by your side
I was dying along by your side
I was flying
I came alone
I come alone with, to get here
To lifts up foot off my feet
At home they mean nothing to me

Remember everywhere that you think it's in this place
Take a place if you find a place to take
Take away the way you want to walk away
Make a way with my mind, my mind it's away
Wake me up for a moment from the paradise
Lift me off the ground and take me to the garden of paradise

Remember everywhere that you think it's in this place
Take a place if you find a place to take
And if you don't have anything nice to say
You can tell it while it takes it to your brain
Wake me up for a moment from the paradise
Lift me off the ground and take me to the garden of paradise



Hace tanto que no les ponía una canción por acá, pero esto de la universidad si me deja muy poco tiempo para subirles cosas. De cualquier modo hoy les puse esta canción porque hoy me enteré que esta banda de raíces inglesas y españolas visitarán la ciudad de México en abril, además de que el video de esta canción se acaba de estrenar. Excelente canción y si tienen la oportunidad de ir a verlos pues haganlo, el disco completo lo pueden encontrar en Fancy Musik, es muy recomendado.

Don't Look Back - She & Him

Orpheus melted the heart of Persephone, but I never had yours
I followed you back to the end of the path, but I never found the door

And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below

You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know

Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there

Quietly took to the dark of the day and the hiss of the summer night
The heat of the breeze was a cell block wall and when I looked you were out of sight

And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below

You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know

Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there

And you can work to save your love
You can bear it from the earth below

You can work but you can't let go
Oh, oh but you have to know

Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just wan't to know you're there

Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there

Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before
I don't have to see you every day, but I just want to know you're there

Don't look back all you'll ever get is the dust from the steps before

Zooey Deschanel y M. Ward nos dejan esta canción proveniente del Vol.2, siempre marcando ese estilo de indie-pop-folk que ya conocemos, por desgracia la nube del sonido no me permitió pasarles la canción, así que se las debo, pero aquí esta el video , disfrútenlo :)
tshüss!

Party's Fall - Siouxsie And The Banshees


Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Shadows look as you resist the gloom
Faded hues issue forth and bloom

A bed of leaves for a lover
Awake with a kiss and rise asunder
And when the party's over
You retreat in a realm of slumber

In your mind, crystal lights rebound
Wheels spin round and you hear the sound
Of autumn's call at party's fall

Through rose-tinted glass you still remember
The gladness, not sadness, only laughter

In your mind vicious lights rebound
Wheels spin round and you hear the sound
Of autumn's call at party's fall

The smile in the mirror grows weaker
The laughter you heard is growing fainter

Your parties fall around you
The night forgets to rouse you
Your party's fall astounds you
An aura of sadness abounds you

Glad rags sigh
Maybe you're alone inside, don't hide
Hurting all the time, hurting deep inside, don't cry
My happiness depends on knowing this friend is never alone
On your own
A party on our own
We'll have a party all our own inside
No sighs



Hoy amanecí con ganas de escuchar música de los 80's y desempolvar esos viejos CD's, lo primero que elegí fué a Siouxsie la llamada "dama de hierro" y escuchar su disco Tinderbox uno de los tantos que compré hace mucho nada mas para escuchar esta rolita, me encanta el cambio de ritmo final y la voz oscura de Siouxsie. Una vuelta al pasado en casí 5 minutos. Uno de mis tantos grupos favoritos.

Coming Down In Colours - The Cosmetics


How many times you waited?
how many days you tried?
hiding between the dreamworlds,
an easy way to tame your heart.

oh pretty girl,
you're the brightest star.
down that stairway
our love may come to life...

and I won't let go
your precious soul
that shines in colours.

So many things you've changed
so many ways to shine
love is a speeding comet
just about to burst my mind.

oh pretty girl,
you're the brightest star.
down that stairway
our love may come to la la life.

and I won't let go
your precious soul
that shines in colours.

and I won't let go cause now I know.



The Cosmetics fue una banda muy prometedora dentro de la escena independiente en México, los originarios de Cd. Satélite supieron cómo hacerle para ser reconocidos con un sólo EP bajo el brazo, desafortunadamente la banda se separó ya hace tiempo por causas que no sabemos, pero es una lástima, se quedaron a mitad de su primer álbum y de ahí ya no se ha vuelto a saber nada ni de un proyecto alterno siquiera. En fin, les dejo esta canción que forma parte de su grandioso EP "The National Flavour".

The Calculation - Regina Spektor


You went into the kitchen cupboard
And got yourself another hour
And you gave half of it to me
We sat there looking at the faces
Of these strangers in the pages
'Til we knew them mathematically

They were in our minds
Until forever
But we didn't mind
We didn't know better

So we made our own computer
Out of macaroni pieces
And it did our thinking
While we lived our lives
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
And it called that calculation
Perfect Love

Didn't even know
That love was bigger
Didn't even know
That love was so so
hey hey hey

Hey this fire it's burning
Burning us up

Hey this fire it's burning
Burning us
Up

So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
Past our muscles and our bones
Saw our hearts were little stones

Pulled them out they weren't beating
And we weren't even bleeding
As we lay them on the granite counter top

We beat them up
Against each other

We beat them up
Against each other

We struck them hard
Against each other

We struck them so hard
So hard until they sparked

Hey this fire it's burning
Burning us up

Una Línea Va - Andrea Balency Trio


Por qué, por qué me obligo a ser
alguien que no siente nada
Tus manos me sueltan y es que
no sé, no sé lo que voy a hacer.

Aha, aha sabes bien que
no tienes nada que darme
Me duele y sangro y sangro y se
que no cambiara.

Tengo miedo de sentir aha
Tengo miedo de sentir aha, aha, aha.

Qué va a pasar, no quiero ver
muere en mi piel
Te quiero ver, te quiero ver.
No sé cuanto vaya a pasar
antes de que todo se quiebre
Quiero cerrarme, quiero cegarme
y no ver.

Tengo miedo de sentir aha
Tengo miedo de sentir aha, aha, aha.

Una línea va, luna llena y sal
las horas escurren, ya por donde irán.
Una línea va, luna llena y sal
las horas escurren, cuando volverán.

Lo siento, no puedo y vuelvo a sangrar
Te miro, respiro, que va a pasar.



Una de las mejores canciones del año sin lugar a dudas. Andrea Balency desde Francia vino a darle a la escena musical en México un respiro folk pop muy fresco. Tuve la oportunidad de verla en vivo en la presentación de su EP debut y quedé maravillado, si tienen la oportunidad, háganlo, no se arrepentirán. Este trio es sumamente talentoso, yo se que llegarán muy lejos si siguen el mismo camino que han llevado. Andrea Balency Trio de lo mejor en México.

Walking In The Air - The Maccabees


We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky;
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.
On across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills the forests and the streams.

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep.

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky;
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.
On across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills the forests and the streams.




Ahora les traigo otro cover, ésta vez de una de las mejores bandas de Indie Rock; The Maccabees es una de mis bandas predilectas de siempre, hace mucho que no sabía de ellos y ahora nos presentan el cover de una canción que sale en una película infantil, "The Snowman", ésta canción tiene todas las características esenciales del sonido de The Maccabees, la voz, los arreglos, la ejecución, todo. En pocas palabras, otro excelente cover. Disfruten.

Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Foals


Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world



Creo que no hay mucho que decir, excelente canción, excelente cover, excelente banda, excelente todo; Foals se está convirtiendo en la mejor banda en años.

Kid Gloves - Voxtrot


Listen to the sounds of ringing out around you
These are the cries of the dying beat
Politics of hate you'd never get around to
Blood over brains that we never need
I saw you in the back, studied and relaxed
Fixed in the post like a silent stone
Serenity in tact, it's the feeling that I lack
Life in the floors of a stable home

I can trace you on paper like a sketch of a smell
You're what breath to a runner in contest
In close to the nerve, but you rest so far away
And I have to give it up someday

Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
Pretending in a love like this
I have no choice but to put you in back of me
Don't cover my footsteps
Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader
You're dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
You have to touch me with kid gloves

By me to the wind, you talk me out of standstill
I never felt so alive at once
Finger to the quick, yes I can feel your hand still
Pressed to the drain of the common months

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a tireless boy
Cheer me up, cheer me, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself
You sound of vanity whore

Beause it's race and it's power at the center of life
We abide to the people who need us
But you're the kind of person who could understand that fault
And I hope to measure you someday

Every time I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
Pretending in a love like this
I have no choice but to put you in back of me
Don't cover my footsteps
Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader
Dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
You have to touch me with kid gloves

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a tireless boy
Cheer me up, cheer me, I'm invisibly stuck all in myself
You sound of vanity whore

Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a miserable fuck
Cheer me up, cheer me up, I'm a tireless boy

When you compromise yourself like that
It's dead occassion
So even on friendship (?)

Dead weight all right, I know you're no good for me
Dead weight all right, I know you're no righteous leader
Dead weight all right, that's fine, you get your hands off me
You have to touch me with kid gloves
You have to touch me with kid gloves



Voxtrot es una banda de indie rock de Austin Texas, sus melodias son frágiles y sutiles bien acompañadas de ese pianito coqueto y acompletada con esa voz aguda llena de tristeza y que a la vez le dan un poder enorme a sus canciones. Recuerdo que di con ellos en la red debido a que me llamo mucho la atención el nombre del sello discografico con el que editan sus discos "cult hero records" sin duda influenciados por esa gran canción de otro grupo que admiro en demasia ... Este track esta incluido en una sesión que pronto encontrarán en Fancy Musik.
