TIFT MERRITT: STRAY PAPER.


TIFT MERRITT is one of my favourite singers-songwriters. I think that "Tambourine" (2004) must be in the discography of all your homes. And we have chosen STRAY PAPER, the song that opens the second album of Merritt. We have selected two videos. The First is in acoustic. Althought the most important is her eyes and her incredible voice. Hope you like.






LYRICS

I got a postcard with an old address,
A picture of Houston in a creased-up mess,
Just to remind me that it all went wrong,
Just to beat me up, just to turn me on.

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,
Burning in my hands.

Cigarettes in the glove box with the classified ads,
Ashes and silver worn in to your hands,
"I got to see you" on a bar napkin,
Gas station quarters, I got to see you again.

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,
Burning in my hands.

Somewhere there's a letter that I never sent,
It used to read pretty, now it's empty as
That night in the headlights with the blankets pressed.
Was it something to you baby, or was it always just

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,
Burning in my hands.
Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,
Burning in my hands,
Burning in my hands,
Burning in my hands.

LENKA: HEART SKIPS A BEAT.


After her Successful album debut and her single hit "The Show". We thought that LENKA would be a one-hit wonder. We was in a mistake because "Two", her second album, is even better than the first. HEART SKIPS A BEAT is her first single. Two videos has been made for this song because the naive universe of Lenka -Some people called it "Lenkaland"- is very extensive. Hope you like.





LYRICS

Heart skips a beat my heart skips a beat

My heart is playing tricks on me
And it’s building bricks on me
I can’t break through
And I can’t face you

My world is turning slowly now
But it’s burning up somehow
I need some time
To know what’s right

‘Cause it’s only in the quiet that I feel some relief
I’m trying hard not to resist the joy
Don’t listen to me I’m being paranoid
I might try hard but it’s too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart is always first to know
And as the feeling grows
I can’t deny push those thoughts aside
My world is full of loveliness
But I focus on the stress

My heart says “Go” but my brain says “No”
And it’s only in the quiet that I hear myself breathe

I’m trying hard not to resist the joy
Don’t listen to me I’m being paranoid
I might try hard but it’s too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat

Oh I know this time ’cause it’s physical
My blood has stopped and I am breathless as well
But I need a minute to convince myself
‘Cause it’s only in the quiet that I know what to feel

I’m trying hard not to resist the joy
Don’t listen to me I’m being paranoid
I might try hard but it’s too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat

I’m trying hard not to resist the joy
Don’t listen to me I’m being paranoid
I might try hard but it’s too hard to avoid

My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat

LAURA MARLING: DEVIL'S SPOKE.


LAURA MARLING is undoubtedly one of the important names in music this year. Her album "I speak, Because I can" has become one of the great successes of British folk music. In one survey, the British gave Marling number one in the ranking of the most relevant and influential personalities from the world of music. Today we have chosen DEVIL'S SPOKE, the song that opens the album. I hope you like it.



LYRICS

I might be apart of this
ripple on water from a lonesome drip
A fallen tree that witness me
I'm alone,
Him and me.

And then life it's self can not aspire
to have someone be so admired
I threw creation to my king
have the silence broken by a whispered wind.

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

And root to root and tip to tip
I look at him my country gip
Let it up I own his fears
But someone brought you close to tears.

Many trains and many miles
Like you to me on this sunny isle
What of which you wish to speak
Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken
All of this can be broken
Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

But the love of your life
lives but lies no more
and where she lay
a flower grows.

The arms are fed
the babes have wed
and the backs have bled,
keeping her in tow.

But I am keeper
And I hold your face away from light
I am yours till they come
I am yours till they come.

Eye to eye
Nose to nose
ripping off eachothers clothes
in the most perculiar way.

Eye to eye
Nose to nose
ripping off eachothers clothes
in the most perculiar way.

KT TUNSTALL: OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.


I Know her last album "Tiger Suit" is really great. But Today I want to remember OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD that belongs to her incredible debut album "Eye to the Telescope" (2004). I think it is the best song of KT TUNSTALL. Hope you like.




LYRICS

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

[Chorus:]
The fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

[Chorus]

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

[Chorus]

GAVIN DeGRAW: CHARIOT.


I would like to remember an old song from GAVIN DeGRAW called CHARIOT from his amazing bebut album with the same name in 2003. DeGraw has published a new album in 2011 but probably it mustn't be like CHARIOT, one of my favourites. Hope you like.





LYRICS

Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit
is chocolate covered
cherries
And seedless watermelon ohhhh
Nothing from the
ground is good enough
Body rised
It puts over me

[Chorus:]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your:
Strength

Remember seeking moons of birth
Rings made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
It is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
City filled with burden
Cover me
From bringing back
More than a memory

[Chorus]

You'll be my vacation
away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spread
my arms and fly

[Chorus]

JESCA HOOP is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Southern California who has gained a certain notoriety by creating music that roam several genres: folk rock, rock, experimental ... His musical mentor was Tom Waits. This is MURDER OF BIRDS and She count with the collaboration of GUY GARVEY from ELBOW. This songs belongs from her last album HUNTING MY DRESS (2009). I Think It's magic. Hope you like.



LYRICS

I'm not a bird
I'm a murder of birds
Shifting my shape when your tongue forms the words
Like I hate you when I love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

This shape, this snake, in a defensive coil
Same attractive lips as that foolish girl
Say she hates you when she loves you the most
Loves you the most
Loves you the most

And I've got demons when I need 'ems
Don't ask to see them 'cause they're not supposed to be used you
Oh

Can we build a safe house?
Far from the bitter bright
And when we go home to the brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside
To the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra, a lullaby
Keeping her demons happy
You may free for me to fright
In the shape of home baked bread
And the girl that turned it down then
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said

And I think I'm a loon as I form grace
For you unleash your mood and I'm no longer safe
I say I hate you when I love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

This shape of my breast and the shape of my kiss
Demons in coil with a slither and a hiss
I say I hate you when I love you the most
Love you the most
Love you the most

And I've got demons
When I need 'ems
Don't ask to see 'em, they're not supposed to be used against us
Ohh....

Can we build a safe house?
Far from the bitter bright
And when we go home to the brown recluse
And the cobra locked outside
To the spider we'll give a web
To the cobra, a lullaby
Keeping her demons happy
You may free for me to fright
In the shape of home baked bread
And the girl that turned it down then
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said
In the shape of home baked bread
And the girl that turned it down then
And a wick of twisted thread
From the loving words you said

SIA: BREATHE ME.


I Love SIA FURLER: Her collaborations with Zero 7, her incursions into electronic music, her privileged voice for the Soul or R & B, or her most danceable songs from her latest album. Although today I have chosen BREATHE ME from the album "Colour the Small One" (2003) because it is simply shocking. This song was also chosen for the final scene of "Six Feet Under" my favorite television series of all time. Hope you like it.



LYRICS

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

But they have published five albums to date. We have Chosen PAIN KILLER from their second and successful album "Ether song" (2003). Hope you like.




LYRICS

Batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping, it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

You need something better than the bacon and eggs
The creaking in the walls and the banging in the bed
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind

My love giving me head, feeling very guilty,breaking the bread
Losing my attention, taking the world on
So batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping, it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind

My love, my love, my love, my love oh my love

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind

CÓMPLICES: EL PINTOR DE ARCOIRIS.


CÓMPLICES is a duo formed by Teo Cardalda and her wife, Maria Monsonis. Cardalda started from zero with this formation because he led a successful band called Golpes Bajos with Germán Copini, another famous Spanish musician. He got a great success with COMPLICES and lots of his songs belongs to our collective memory. We chose EL PINTOR DE ARCOIRIS that belongs to their last stage. A romantic song for a summer evening. Hope you like.



LYRICS

Sí, pinto arco iris, entre tú y yo
Sí, gotas de lluvia y rayos de sol.

De tus ojos verdes tomo algún destello
Y mezclo el rojo de tus labios en mi cuerpo
Color pasión.

Tiño la oscura obsesión de mis días grises
Con la calma azul de otros más felices
Bebiendo tu amor

Sí, pinto arco iris que es mi forma de matar
El tiempo que el mundo te retiene en su afán
De pieza fugaz
Y te espero en soledad

Sí, pinto arco iris, entre tú y yo
Sí, gotas de lluvia y rayos de sol

Tengo también el color sepia de mis sueños
Y el negro desbordado de tu pelo
Sobre el edredón

Un futuro incierto vestido de rosa
Y mientras sigas revolviendo entre mis cosas
Tu indiscreción

Sí, pinto arco iris es mi forma
De matar
El tiempo que yo
No te puedo retener
No te puedo retener
Uh, uh...

Pinto arco iris entre tú y yo
Sí, entre tú y yo,
Gotas y rayos de sol.

I can barely look at you,
Don't tell me who you lost it to.

Didn't I say how bad I feel?

Everyone needs a helping hand;
Who said I would not understand?
Someone up the social scale
for when you're going off the rails, have

Chorus:
Post break-up sex
that helps you forget your ex.
What did you expect from post break up sex?

Leave it 'til the guilt consumes
I found you in the nearest room
All our friends were unaware
Most had just passed out downstairs.

To think I'd hoped you'd be okay,
Now I can't think of what to say,
Maybe I misunderstood,
But I can't believe you're feeling good, from

Chorus x2:
Post break-up sex

Oh when you love somebody but you find someone,

And it all unravels and it comes undone

From post break-up sex

JESSIE J: PRICE TAG.


The new sensation of british soul is called JESSIE J. We wrote in Spanish about her in Exquisiteces and her post has been one of the most read of our blog. Jessie has a privileged voice for the R & B and Soul. She is able to make people dance on the subway with a tape-delayed basis and her wonderful voice. A real phenomenon that we can not escape. I leave one of her single from "Who you are" (2011) her debut album. PRICE TAG with the collaboration of the ubiquitous B.o.B. but then you will see a live performance with just an acoustic guitar and without B.o.B. it's much better.




We can see the real talent of Jessie J in her live performances.



LYRICS

[Verse 1: Jessie J]
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the tale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and
Smile

Why is everybody so serious!
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight...

[Chorus:]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag

Ain't about the (ha) Ka-Ching Ka-Ching.
Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.

[Verse 2: Jessie J]
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all UNITE!
And it wasn't low blows and video Hoes,
Am I the only one gettin... tired?

Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feelin
All right.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: B.o.B]
Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six streams and a half stack
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I...
Yes all I need are keys and garage
And guess what, in 30 seconds I'm leaving to Mars
Yes we leaving across these undefeatable odds
It's like this man, you can't put a price on life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice everynight
So we ain't gon stumble and fall never
Waiting to see, a sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon keep everyone moving there feet
So bring back the beat and everybody sing
It's not about...

[Chorus x2]

[Outro: Jessie J]
Yeah yeah
Oo-oooh
Forget about the price tag

THE SWELL SEASON: IN THESE ARMS.


We Cannot forget "Once" (2007) The film that joined Glenn Handsard and Marketa Irglova. Although they had recorded a previous album which they called THE SWELL SEASON. Today we have chosen IN THESE ARMS that belongs to the last album "Strict Joy" (2010). Hope you like.



LYRICS

Use the truth
As a weapon
To beat up all your friends
Every chink in the armor
An excuse to cause offense
And the boys from the hallway
Calling out your name
And you love
Find them in the end
You are restles
I was somewhere less secure
So I went running to the row
And so now that the longest of places I was
I quit my rambling and come home
'Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

x2

And your saints
And your mantra
And you.... To keep you calm
If you stay
With that asshole
Is gonna do you harm
As the voice singing loudly on the radio

Just for you
And good fortune
Will find him in the end
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is

So take your lessons hard and stay with him
When your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
'Cos it already is

So take your lessons hard and stay with him
And when your car crash comes, don't be misled
Convince yourself that everything is alright
'Cos it already is
Yeah it already is

So take him home
So take him home
So take him home

Take him, Take him home
Take him, Take him home

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS: OH NO!


We are going to start the month of June with a fresh song. It is hot, here in Spain and I prefer to listen something funny. Last Year we discovered MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS with her debut album "The family Jewels", a perfect album for this time. We have chosen OH NO! Hope you like.



LYRICS

Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip

Don't want cash, don't want car
Want it fast, want it hard
Don't need money, don't need fame
I just want to make a change
I just wanna change

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no

One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best

If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal
It has no appeal

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly,
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die,
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, gonna die, die, die, die

I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no
