Hey Jude - The Beatles (Historia, Video, Letra y Acordes de Guitarra)

La canción Hey Jude (The Beatles) se lanzó el 26 de agosto de 1968; siendo escrita por Paul McCartney aunque en los créditos aparece Lennon/McCartney.

Es una balada rock que dura más de 7 minutos, y que ha pesar de eso se convirtió en la canción más exitosa de los Beatles, llegando a estar 9 semanas en primer lugar en Estados Unidos; ser nombrada en varias listas recopilatorias como la de la revista Rolling Stone, en la que se encuentra en el puesto 8 dela lista de las 500 canciones más grandes de todos los tiempos.

La Historia de la canción es la siguiente:

Cuando John Lennon se divorció de Cynthia Powell para casarse con Yoko Ono, Su hijo Julian se sentía triste y por eso Paul McCartney le escribió la canción para consolarlo.

Mucha gente pensaba que en esta canción Paul Mc Cartney le estaba diciendo "Oye Judas" a John Lennon por dejar a su esposa para irse con Yoko Ono, pero no era así.

En un principio la canción iba a llamarse "Hey Julian" o "Hey Jules", pero como no sonaba musicalmente, le colocaron "Hey Jude", que encajó perfectamente.

Como hemos dicho, esta canción fue hecha con la intención de consolar a Julian del estrés causado por el divorcio de sus padres.

Paul Mc Cartney cuenta: "Comenzé con la idea de 'Hey Jules', comenzando con Julian, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better (no lo tomes a mal, toma una canción triste y haz que mejore). Hey, trata de lidiar con esta terrible situación. Sabía que no iba a ser fácil para el. Siempre me sentí triste por los niños en los divorcios... Tuve la idea de la canción en ese tiempo y decidí ir ahí. Lo cambié a 'Jude' porque pense que sonaba mejor."(Barry Miles (1997). Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now. New York)

Cynthia Powell recuerda: "Estaba totalmente sorprendida cuando una tarde, Paul llegó por su cuenta. Estaba conmovida por su obvia preocupación por nuestro bienestar... En el camino hacia acá compuso 'Hey Jude' en el carro. Nunca olvidaré el detalle de Paul de preocuparse en venir a vernos."(Cross, Craig (2005). The Beatles: Day-by-Day, Song-by-Song, Record-by-Record. )

Veinticinco años después Julian Lennon descubrió que la canción fue escrita para él.

Esta canción escrita para Julian llegó a ser un himno, una canción referente de los Beatles y una muestra más del talento compositivo y para la construcción melódica de Paul.

El Último Éxito de John Lennon Antes De Ser Asesinado

Hoy se cumplen 27 años del asesinato de John Lennon.

Hacía pocos meses que había cumplido los 18 años y era un fanático de la música.

Esos días estaba contento por el resurgimiento de John Lennon después de varios años de silencio; el giro que había tenido su música, ya no tan política sino un poco más ligera me había gustado mucho.

Esos días empezó a sonar su último éxito antes de morir (Just Like) Starting Over (Parece como si volvieramos a empezar); lamentablemente ese no fue el principio sino su final.

Como tributo a John Lennon aquí les dejo el video de esta hermosa canción.




(JUST LIKE) STARTIN' OVER

A A+ F#/A A+
Our life, together, is so precious, together,
A E7 A E7
we have grown, we have grown.
A A+ F#/A
Although our love, is still special,
A7 D/A Dm/A A
let's take a chance and fly away, somewhere alone.

A
It's been too long since we took the time,
A+ Bm E
No one's to blame. I know time flies so quickly.
Bm E
But, when I see you darlin',
C#m F# Bm E
It's like we both are fallin' in love, again, it'll be,
A A+ A A+
just like starting over. Starting over.

A
Every day we used to make it, love.
A+ Bm E
Why can't we be makin' love, nice and easy?
Bm E
It's time to spread our wings and,
C#m F# Bm E
fly. Don't let another day go by, my love, it'll be,
A A+ A G
just like starting over. Starting over.

G Am
Why don't we take off alone,
D7 G
take a trip somewhere far, far away.
Em Am
We'll be together all alone, again,
D7 G E D/F# E/G#
like we used to be in the early days. Well, well dar - lin'

A
It's been too long since we took the time,
A+ Bm E
No one's to blame. I know time flies so quickly.
Bm E
But, when I see you darlin'
C#m F# Bm E
It's like we both are falling in love, again, it'll be
A A+ A A+
just like starting over. Starting over.

A A+ F#/A A+
Our life, together, is so precious, together,
A E7 A E7
we have grown, we have grown.
A A+ F#/A
Although our love, is still special,
A7 D/A Dm/A
let's take a chance and fly away, somewhere...
A and A+ repeat and fade out.

Baby Come Back - Player (Video, Lyrics, Chords)

Esta fue una de las primeras canciones que escuché allá por el año 1977.

Spending all my nights, all my money going out on the town
|Ab/Bb |Gm
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind

Trying to forget you is just a waste of time

I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

|Ab/Bb |Gm |

|Ab/Bb |Gm |
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
|Ab/Bb |Gm
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
|Ab/Bb |Gm |
But as the sun goes down, I get that empty feeling again
|Ab/Bb |Cm7
How I wish to God that you were here

Baby come back.....

|Bb |

|Gbmaj7 |Dbmaj7 |
Now that I put it all together
|Gbmaj7 |Dbmaj7 |
Give me the chance to make you see

Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams (Video, Lyrics & Chords)

Esta es una de la mejores canciones de rock de los ochentas, hasta el día de hoy sigue resonando en mis oídos.

Bryan Adams siguió haciendo canciones extraordinarias pero ninguna me sube la adrenalina como esta.



Summer Of '69

D-I got my first real six-string
A-Bought it at the five-and-dime
D- Played it till my fingers bled
A -It was the summer of '69

D-Me and some guys from school
A-Had a band and we tried real hard
D -Jimmy quit and Jody got married
A-I shoulda known we'd never get far

Bm -Oh when I
A- look back now
D - That summer seemed to
G-last forever
Bm - And if I
A-had the choice
D -Ya I'd always
G-wanna be there
Bm - Those were the best days of my life- D

D -Ain't no use in complainin'
A -When you got a job to do
D - Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
A -And that's when I met you

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

F-Man we were-Bm- killin' time
We were -C-young and restless
We -Bm- needed to unwind
F-I guess -Bm-nothin' can last
fore-C-ver - forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark (Video, Lyrics, Chords)

Corria el año 1984 cuando estaba de moda esta canción cuando de pronto corrió un rumor en la universidad.

¡Bruce Springsteen a muerto!

Veía a todos lo alumnos con cara triste y meláncolica, tratando de saber como había sido.

Uno dijo en la mañana escuchamos que "El Jefe" había muerto a la salida de un concierto en un accidente.

Más tarde nos enteramos que no había sido Bruce el que había muerto sino unos jóvenes que habían asistido a su concierto.

Recordando ese triste acontecimiento les dejo la canción "Dancing in the dark".



DANCING IN THE DARK

G Em G Em G
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
Em G Em C
I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way
Am C Am G
I ain't nothing but tired Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Em G Em D
Hey there baby I could use just a little help

(chorus):
D C
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
Am C Am G
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark

Messages keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know there is

(repeat chorus)

Em G
You sit around getting older
C D Em
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
G
I'll shake the world off my shoulders
C D
Come on baby the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry - hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to
write this book
I need a love reaction. Come on now baby gimme just one look

D C
You can't start a fire sitting round crying over a broken heart
Am C Am D
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
C
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
Am C Am G
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
G
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

La Primera Canción de Rap la Canto...Blondie

Blondie fue un grupo emblemático de los 70's, se inició como un grupo Punk, protestando contra la "música comercial"y el sistema; pero a fines de los 70's y principios de los 80's era el grupo más comercial de todos, y se convirtió en lo que ellos habían atacado.

En 1981 hacen la primera canción de Rap que llega al #1 de las listas Rapture, lo que la convirtió en el primer gran éxito de la música Rap, el resto es historia.

Veamos el video y la letra de esta increíble canción.



RAPTURE

Toe to toe
Dancing very slow
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture

Back to back
Sacrailiac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack

Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!

Dan Fogelberg - The Leader of the Band (Video, Letra y Acordes de Guitarra)

Dan Fogelberg escribió esta canción para su padre que fue líder de una orquesta.

Su padre estaba enfermo en el hospital, y poco antes de morir le pudo cantar esta canción donde expresaba todo el amor y orgullo que tenía por él.

Esta canción se la dedico a mi Papá que hoy esta de cumpleaños.



LEADER OF THE BAND

. Intro: G7 C Am Em D G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G
Verse:
G (C/G) G Bm C
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Am Em Am C D
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none.
G (C/G) G Bm C
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
. Am Em Am D7 G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
G (C/G) G Bm C
A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Am Em Am C D
He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait
G (C/G) G Bm C
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
. Am Em Am D7 G
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

Chorus:
. C Bm C G
. The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
. Am Em Am F D
. But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
. C Bm C G
. My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
. Am Em Am C G
. I'm just a living legacy to the lea--der of-- the band

.(C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G

G (C/G) G Bm C
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
Am Em Am C D
One went to Chicago, the other to St. Paul
G (C/G) G Bm C
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Am Em Am D7 G (C/G) G
Living out this life I chose and come to know so well

And papa I don't think I said "I love you" near enough.

Rolling Stones - Angie (Video y Letra)

Hermosísima canción de los Rolling Stones.

No se puede decir otra cosa.






ANGIE

Angie, angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You cant say were satisfied
But angie, angie, you cant say we never tried
Angie, youre beautiful, but aint it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, angie, dont you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But angie, angie, aint it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You cant say were satisfied
But angie, I still love you, baby
Evrywhere I look I see your eyes
There aint a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby, dry your eyes
But angie, angie, aint it good to be alive?
Angie, angie, they cant say we never tried

Bee Gees - Night Fever (Video y Letra)

Fueron los reyes de la segunda mitad de los setentas, pero los pasaron tanto que nos olvidamos de ellos en los ochentas, pero luego los volvimos a reencontrar y que tales voces, de las mejores que han existido.

Aquí vemos a los Bee Gees en uno de sus mayores éxitos "Fever Night" de la película Fiebre de Sabado por la Noche.

Una curiosidad de este video es ver a Barry Gibb sin su famosa barba




FEVER NIGHT

Listen to the ground:
there is movement all around.
There is something goin' down
and I can feel it.

On the waves of the air,
there is dancin' out there.
If it's somethin' we can share,
we can steal it.

And that sweet city woman,
She moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is bright,

Then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
Prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on the music so fine,
Borne on the wind,
Makin' it mine.

Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

In the heat of our love,
Don't need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'.
I got fire in my mind.
I got higher in my walkin'.
And I'm glowin' in the dark;
I give you warnin'.

And that sweet city woman,
She moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is bright,

Then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
Prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on the music so fine,
Borne on the wind,
Makin' it mine.

Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are (Video y Letra)

Corría el año 1978 cuando Billy Joel nos dio una des mejores canciones de todos los tiempos "Just the way you are".

Volvamos a esos años mientras escuchamos la canción.



JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

Don't go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Chicago - If You Leave Me Now (Video y Letra)

Que diferentes eran esos tiempos.

Antes de los sintetizadores y la música electrónica los grupos utilizaban instrumentos verdaderos.

Chicago es uno de esos grupos, sus voces e instrumentos los convirtieron en uno de los mejores grupos de todos los tiempos.

En 1976 escribieron e interpretaron una de sus mejores canciones "If you leave me now", la cual llegó en su álbum Chicago X.



IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby, please don't go
Ooo girl, I just got to have you by my side

Paul McCartney & Wings - With a Little Luck

Los 4 grandes de Liverpool fueron realmente geniales, sea como grupo o individualmente.

De los 4 particularmente me gustó la música que hizo Paul McCartney, entre sus canciones se encuentra esta: "With a little luck", un éxito de 1978 de su gran álbum London Town, que me trae gratos recuerdos.

Con un poquito de suerte les gustará tanto como a mi



WITH A LITTLE LUCK

With A Little Luck, We Can Help It Out.
We Can Make This Whole Damn Thing Work Out.
With A Little Love, We Can Lay It Down.
Can't You Feel The Town Exploding?
There Is No End To What We Can Do Together.
There Is No End, There Is No End.
The Wiliow Turns His Back On Inclement Weather;
And If He Can Do It, We Can Do It, Just Me And You,

And A Little Luck, We Can Clear It Up.
We Can Bring It In For A Landing,
With A Little Luck, We Can Turn It On.
There Can Be No Misunderstanding.

There Is No End To What We Can Do Together.
There Is No End, There Is No End.
The Willow Turns His Back On Inclement Weather;
We Can Do It, Just Me And You.

With A Little Push, We Could Set It Off.
We Can Send It Rocketing Skywards.
With A Little Love, We Could Shake It Up.
Don't You Feel The Comet Exploding?

With A Little Luck.
With A Little Luck.
With A Little Luck, A Little Luck, A Little Luck.
With A Little Luck.
With A Little Luck.
With A Little Luck, A Little Luck, A Little Luck.

Queen - We are the Campions / We will Rock You

Realmente grandes.

Esta es la mejor canción de Queen para muchos.


Su letra es fuerte y corrosiva, tal como era la generación de los setentas; ya había pasado el peace and love de los sesentas ahora había que patearlos.

Luego llegaron los ochentas y ese fue otro cantar.

En este video de 1977 en un concierto en vivo en Londres podemos escuchar la voz de Freddy Mercury en todo su esplendor.

Recordemos con él que somos los campeones del mundo.




WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS / WE WILL ROCK YOU
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions
my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
of the World

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions
my friendsAnd we'll
keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
of the World

We are the champions
my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Kickin’ your can all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re a young man hard man
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo’ face
You big disgrace
Wavin’ your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you’re an old man poor man
Pleadin’ with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you
