B-52's Roam (Video & Lyrics)

Aprovechando que vienen a Lima, recordemos esta canción de los B-52's, Roam



I hear a wind
whistling air
whispering
in my ear

Boy mercury shootin through every degree
oh girl dancin down those DIRTY and DUSTY trails
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
around the world the trip begins with a kiss

roam if you want to
roam around the world
roam if you want to
without anything but the love we feel

skip the air-strip to the sunset yeah
ride the arrow to the target
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
around the world the trip begins with a kiss

roam if you want to
roam around the world
roam if you want to
without anything but the love we feel

fly the great big sky see the great big sea
kick through continents bustin bounaries
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
around the world the trip begins with a kiss

roam if you want to
roam around the world
roam if you want to
without wings, without wheels
roam if you want to
roam around the world
roam if you want to
without anything but the love we feel

take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness

Private Idaho - The B-52s' (Video & Lyrics)

Esta es una de las canciones más locas de todos los tiempos.

Era el año 1979, y en esa época Radio Miraflores sacaba un espacio llamado "Música Chicle Globo" o algo por el estilo, donde tocaban primicias de canciones, lo que viendo para atrás me parecen que eran demos de grupos nuevos.

Un día de esos llegaron con la novedad de esta nueva canción "Private Idaho", en ese momento no llegó a ser un éxito, pero si fue muy divertido escuchar esos sonidos de indios americanos en pie de guerra.

Más adelante en las 80's se convirtió en un megaexito como todas las canciones de B-52s'.

Enterándome que vienen a Lima en Abril aprovecho para recordar esta loquísima canción.

Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
You're living in your own Private Idaho
Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
Don't go on the patio.
Beware of the pool,
blue bottomless pool.
It leads you straight
right throught the gate
that opens on the pool.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

Keep off the path, beware the gate,
watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways".
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
blind you to the awful surprise
that's waitin' for you at
the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool.

You're livin in your own Private Idaho. Idaho.
You're out of control, the rivers that roll,
you fell into the water and down to Idaho.
Get out of that state,
get out of that state you're in.
You better beware.

You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

Keep off the patio,
keep off the path.
The lawn may be green
but you better not be seen
walkin' through the gate that leads you down,
down to a pool fraught with danger
is a pool full of strangers.

You're living in your own Private Idaho,
where do I go from here to a better state than this.
Well, don't be blind to the big surprise
swimming round and round like the deadly hand
of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool.

I-I-I-daho
I-I-I-daho
Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own Private Idaho,
livin in your own Private.... Idaho

Esta canción la he estado escuchando en diversos lugares durante estos días, incluso hoy en la mañana me despertó un vecino teniéndola a todo volumen, algo raro para una canción de 1981 (en especial porque el vecino aún no había nacido cuando salió).

Por eso creo que se merece que la recordemos en esta Retrorockola y volvamos al pasado con esta canción de Juice Newton

"Queen of Hearts" es una canción escrita por Hank DeVito.

La canción apareció en el álbum de 1979 de Dave Edmunds Repeat When Necessary y el sencillo alcanzó el puesto 11 en las listas de popularidad del Reino Unido.

Dos años más tarde, Juice Newton lanzó la canción como un sencillo, alcanzando el puesto #2 en la listas de popularidad de los Estados Unidos. La versión de Newton vendió más de un millón de copias y llegó al top 10 de varios países, incluyendo Canadá y Australia.

La canción apareció originalmente en su álbum de 1981 Juice.

Por su grabación de "Queen of Hearts", Newton obtuvo una nominación al Premio Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación Vocal Femenina - Country en 1982.

Eternal Flame - The Bangles (Video, Lyrics & Chords)

Eternal Flame es una de las mejores baladas de todos los tiempos, interpretado el grupo femenino The Bangles.

Esta canción se inspiró en una visita del grupo a Graceland, donde se mantiene una "llama eterna" en honor a Elvis Presley.

The Bangles estaba constituido por Susana Hoffs (voz y guitarra); Vicki Peterson (voz, bajo y guitarra); Debbi Peterson (bajo, voz y bateria); Annette Zilinskas (voz y bajo entre 1982 y 1983) y Michael Steele (apoyo en voz, bajo y guitarras entre 1983 y 2005).

Cuando The Bangles lanzó Eternal Flame en 1988 se encontraban en la cima del éxito. El año anterior habían tenido su megaexito Walk Like an Egyptian, que llegó a ser disco del año.

Pero para cuando lanzaron el disco Everything, donde se encuentra Eternal Flame, ya existian bastante roces dentro del grupo, que terminarian por disolverlo y no volverian a juntarse hasta el 2001.

Eternal Flame llegó a ser número 1 en Estados Unidos, Australia, Inglaterra y varios paises más.

Am I only dreaming, or

Like a Rock - Bob Seger (Video, Lyrics & Chords)

No puedo escuchar esta canción sin que fuego recorra por mis venas, ya han pasado más de 20 años desde que la escuché por primera vez, pero aún me siento como una roca, mis sueños sigue vivos y voy tras ellos.

Gracias Bob Seger por dejarnos una canción tan significativa.

Like A Rock

written by Bob Seger
performed by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
from "Like A Rock", 1986
transcribed by Peter Eybert


[Capo on 1st fret]

G   C   G   C
G
Stood there boldly sweatin' in the sun
C
Felt like a million, felt like number one
F                         C
The height of summer, I'd never felt that strong
     G
Like a rock.

G
I was eighteen, didn't have a care
C
Workin' for peanuts, not a dime to spare
F                  C
But I was lean and solid everywhere
     G
Like a rock.

G
My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and bright
C
My walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light
F                  C
And I held firm to what I felt was right
     G
Like a rock.

     G
Like a rock - I was strong as I could be
     C
Like a rock - nothin' ever got to me
     F            C
Like a rock - I was something to see
     G
Like a rock.

    Em
And I stood arrow straight, unencumbered by the weight
           G
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
      C
I stood proud, I stood tall, high above it all
Am                   D
I still believed in my dreams.

[SOLO]

G
Twenty years now, where'd they go
C
Twenty years - I don't know
F                           C              G
I sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone

  G                       C
And sometimes late at night - oh when I'm bathed in the firelight
F                                C
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
    
And I recall, I recall.

     G
Like a rock - standin' arrow straight
     C
Like a rock - chargin' from the gate
     F      C
Like a rock - carryin' the weight
     G
Like a rock.
     G
Like a rock - the sun upon my skin
     C
Like a rock - hard against the wind
     F               C
Like a rock - I see myself again
     G
Like a rock,

Oh, like a rock.

[SOLO]
