Celebrando los 30 años de Saturday Night Fever

Wow ya han pasado 30 años de Saturday Night Fever, la película que marcó mi generación.

Recuerdo que en las fiestas los jóvenes vestían sus ternos blancos y bailaban como John Travolta mientras que otros se la pasaban cantando las canciones de los Bee Gees.

De esa época les dejo la canción Stayin' Alive, con el video, la letra y los acordes de guitarra.

  STAYIN' ALIVE

Fm7                          Fm7

         And now it's all right, it's OK.

         And you may look the other way.

         We can try to understand

         the New York Times' effect on man.

        

          Fm7
         Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,

                 Fm7
         Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
                Eb                Fm
         I'm a dancing man and I just can't lose.
                       Bb7
         You know it's all right, it's OK.

         I'll live to see another day.

         We can try to understand

         the New York Times' effect on man.

        

          Fm7
         Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,

Barbra Streisand - Evergreen (Video, Lyrics, Chords)

Eran los años setenta cuando apareció esta extraordinaria película "Nace una estrella" (A Star is Born), protagonizada por Barbra Streisan y Kris Krisstoferson; las actuaciones y la música me impactaron tanto que vi la película tres días seguidos.

Ahí llegaron varias canciones increíbles, pero la mejor de todas Evergreen, cantada por Barbra Streisand y haciendo dúo con Kris Krisstoferson.

EVERGREEN

A9                 Bm7/A
Love soft as an easy chair
Bm7/5-/A               A9          E/G#
Love fresh as the morning air
F#m                 C#m7
One love that is shared by two
Bm7               G    E7/4   E7
I have found with you
A9             D/E         Bm7
Like a rose under the april snow
D/E            A9               E/G#
I was always certain love would grow
F#m                 C#m7
Love ageless and evergreen
D7+               C7+   G/A   A7

Everyday   a beginning
D7+        G#7/4 G#7          C#m7         C7+
Spirits rise     and their dance is unrehearsed

They warm and excite us

'Cause we have the brightest love
        Bm7/A
Two light that shine as one
Bm7        D/E           A9            E/G#
Morning glory and the midnight sun
F#m                      C#m7
Time we've learned to sail above
G/A  A7                 D7+       Dm7+    A9
Time   won't change the meaning of    one love

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
