Parece que fue ayer que escuchabamos esta bella canción.
Nos remonta al pasado, pero su letra es muy actual.
Los años han pasado, la gente está lejos pero los recuerdos quedan guardados en nuestra mente.
Una forma de volver al ayer es oyendo esas viejas canciones y revivir esos recuerdos.
Aqui les dejo este éxito de 1978 llamado Reminiscing (Recordando) de Little River Band.
Han pasado más de30 años y todavía me hace recordar esos buenos tiempos.
Aquí les dejo la letra
Reminiscing
The Little River Band
(Graham Goble)
Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
How to tell you girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talkin' about a lifetime plan
That's the way it began, we were hand in hand
Glenn Miller's Band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tunes (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone
Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
Friday night, it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing
Hurry, don't be late, I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
Era el año 1986 cuando John Mellencamp, que en esa época se hacía llamar John Cougar Mellencamp, nos dejó esta obra maestra del rock.
Haciendo reminiscencia de cantantes y canciones de esa época dorada del rock nos dejó esta pequeña obra de arte.
Disfrutémosla
R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. (A Salute to '60s Rock)
John Cougar Mellencamp
(Fast rock beat)
E A D A E A D A
They come from the cities and they come from the smaller towns,
E A D A E A D A
beat up cars with guitars and drummers goin' crack, boom, bam.
CHORUS
E A D A
R. O. C. K. in the U. S. A.
E A D A
R. O. C. K. in the U. S. A
E A D A B
R. O. C. K. in the U. S. A, yeah, yeah
(no chord) E A D A etc, for a few more bars
Rockin' in the U. S. A.
- The remainder of the song follows the same pattern:
Said goodbye to their families, said goodbye to their friends;
with pipedreams in their heads and very little money in their hands.
Some are black and some are white, aint't too proud to sleep on the floor tonight.
With the blind faith of Jesus, you know that they just might . . .
(no chord)
be rockin in the USA
Chorus
Voices from nowhere and voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams, turned our world upside down
There was Frankie Lymon, Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder (they were rockin')
Jackie Wilson, Shangrilas, Young Rascals (they were rockin')
Spotlight on Martha Reeves, let's don't forget James Brown.
(no chord) (spoken)
Rockin' in the USA. Hey!
Chorus
(repeat and fade)
Como dice en la página web del artista, Hold My Hand, es un dúo con Akon que grabaron en 2007.
"Según una nota escrita a mano por Michael Jackson, el artista expresa su deseo de que esta canción fuese el primer single de su siguiente proyecto. La canción se filtró en estado inacabado en 2008 y recientemente Akon completó la producción final".
Hold my hand es un medio tiempo y sorprende que casi sea una canción desde el otro mundo. Una especie de premonición ya comercializada.

Crazy es una canción del grupo de hard rock estadounidense Aerosmith, del disco Get A Grip, siendo este el tema número 10.
Crazy ocupa el puesto #300 de "Las 1000 mejores canciones de siempre" de la revista Q Music.
La canción es una de las más conocidas de la banda.
En el video aparece el grupo tocando en vivo, al mismo tiempo imágenes de dos jovencitas que en apariencia se escapan del colegio y se ponen a conducir su coche por una ciudad, en la que pasan por diferentes y divertidas situaciones, tanto para jovencitas como para cualquier persona que se escape un día de esta manera. Van desde tomar bastante leche y tragarse todos los gurises artículos de una tienda públicamente, tomarse fotos para el despachador, bailar en un club nudista en un concurso para ganar dinero y nadar desnudas con un joven desconocido que esta trabajando y ellas se lo llevan. Las dos mujeres son Liv Tyler, hija del vocalista de la banda, Steven Tyler, acompañada de Alicia Silverstone.

Elle Macpherson: la musa que inspiró el tema "Uptown Girl" de Billy Joel
Esto fue dado a conocer tras la publicación del libro “La chica de la canción: las verdaderas historias detrás de 50 clásicos del rock”
(Elle-macpherson.com/AP)
(EFE). El cantante neoyorquino Billy Joel no se inspiró en su esposa, la modelo Christie Brinkley, para componer la famosa canción “Uptown Girl”, sino en la también modelo australiana Elle Macpherson, con quien tuvo un romance en los años 80.
Según el recién publicado libro “La chica de la canción: las verdaderas historias detrás de 50 clásicos del rock”, escrito por Michael Heatley y del que hoy se hace eco el diario Daily News, el ganador de seis premios Grammy escribió la más conocida de sus canciones para Macpherson.
El libro revela así que la esposa de Joel, de quien siempre se pensó que había inspirado esa canción tras aparecer en el videoclip de “Uptown Girl” (1983), no fue la “musa” del cantante estadounidense para el famoso tema.
Según relata el autor del libro, el cantante y compositor estadounidense conoció durante unas vacaciones en el Caribe tanto a Macpherson y quien después sería su esposa.
