HEATHER NOVA: ALWAYS CHRISTMAS.


HEATHER NOVA is one of our recurring singer-songwriters and I want to remember one of her songs from "The Jasmine Flower". I am talking about ALWAYS CHRISTMAS A song that clearly differed from the rest of the songs on this album, That was quite intimate. Hope You Like.



LYRICS

Christmas is coming
Like a road I’m running
All the lights reminding me
There’s something more I’ve got to give

Bells are ringing
In my head, I’m singing
Still I can’t begin to feel the light
That I was meant to live

All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go

It’s always, it’s always, it’s always Christmas
When I feel this way
It’s always, it’s always, it’s always Christmas
When I feel this way

The night is silent
How the stars are vibrant
And I wish the world was peaceful
As it seems it is tonight

So hang the mistletoe
And kiss the one below
But pray the angels come
And bring this world a little light

All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go

It’s always, it’s always, it’s always Christmas
When I feel this way
It’s always, it’s always, always Christmas
When I feel this way

All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go

It’s always, it’s always, it’s always Christmas
When I feel this way
It’s always, it’s always, always Christmas
When I feel this way

It’s always, it’s always, always Christmas
When I feel this way

NIÑA DE LA PUEBLA: LOS CAMPANILLEROS.


It's not exactly a typical Christmas song, but it sounds in my memories of Christmas from the past. This is LA NIÑA DE LA PUEBLA and her most emblematic song LOS CAMPANILLEROS. A very sentimental Andalusian song. Hope you like.




LYRICS

En los pueblos de mi Andalucía
los campanilleros por la "madrugá"
me despiertan con sus campanillas
y con sus guitarras me hacen llorar.
Yo empiezo a cantar, ...
y al oírme todos los pajarillos
que están en las ramas se echan a volar.

Pajarillos que vais por el campo,
seguid a la estrella, volad a Belén,
que os espera un niño chiquito
que el Rey de los Cielos y la Tierra es.
Volad a Belén, ...
que os espera un niño chiquito,
que el Rey de los Cielos y la Tierra es.

En la noche de la Nochebuena,
bajo las estrellas y por la "madrugá"
los pastores, con sus campanillas,
adoran al Niño que ha nacido ya.
Y con devoción, ...
van tocando zambombas, panderos,
cantando las coplas al Niño de Dios.

A la puerta de un rico avariento
llegó Jesucristo y limosna pidió,
y en lugar de darle una limosna
los perros que había se los azuzó.
Pero quiso Dios, ...
que al momento los perros murieran
y el rico avariento pobre se quedó.

Si supieras la entrada que tuvo
el Rey de los cielos en Jerusalén
no quiso ni coches ni calesas,
sino un jumentito que "alquilao" fue.
Quiso demostrar, ...
que las puertas divinas del cielo
tan solo las abre la Santa humildad.

INDIGO GIRLS: MAKING PROMISES.


I Think INDIGO GIRLS are a little miracle. Because few bands composed by women are in music over twenty years ago and without losing the quality of the first day. Their new album is as good as their beggining albums. This is MAKING PROMISES that belongs to their last album "Beauty Queen Sister". Hope You Like.

DANIELLE BRISEBOIS: GIMME LITTLE SIGN


I was asking to myself what happened to DANIELLE BRISEBOIS. I still remember her hit from the nineties -Although it appears from the eighties- GIMME LITTLE SIGN, and I looked for her at Wikipedia and I read she wrote songs to Natasha Bedingfield or New Radicals. But she only published two albums. Today I want to remember her. Hope you like.

JESCA HOOP: CITY BIRD.


The last work of JESCA HOOP is an Ep entitled "Snowglobe". We can find on it a song called CITY BIRD, and once again, she moves me. I Think that Jesca is the most disturbing singer songwriter of recent years. Hope you like.




LYRICS

City Bird, city bird
Fly away from my window, my window
'cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying

I see the table
For The Ghost in my home, my home
And pour the wine, and raise a glass
For the guests in my home
They're entering
In their skin and in their bones, still in their bones
The vision scares, but none compares
To the dread of drinking alone

After the tower's turned to a tomb
The underworld refugees all were refused by the banker
They could never go in
So I let them in, oh...

City Bird, city bird
Fly away from my window, my window
'cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying

I light the candle
For The Ghost in my home, my home
And say a prayer to please send care
For the guests in my home
But in their sleep
They Crawl and scream the devil home (The devil's come home)
But that nightmare
Does not compare to the demons in sleeping alone

After the tower's turned to a tomb
The underworld refugees all were refused by the banker
And with nowhere to go
They wash up on Skid Row, oh...

City Bird, city bird
Fly away from my window, my window
'cause you don't sing
Like the birds from home sing
Your song is dying

INGRID MICHAELSON: GHOST.


GHOST is the new single from "Human Again" the last album from INGRID MICHAELSON on sale in January 2012. Perhaps it's time to recognize Michaelson as one of the best singers and songwriters of her generation. Hope you like.



LYRICS

do you remember the walls fell
do you remember the sound that the door made
when you closed it at me
do you know that i went down to the ground
and landed on both my broken hearted knees
i didn’t even cry
cause pieces of me had already died

i’m a ghost, haunting these halls
climbing the walls that i never knew were there
and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
i’m broken down the middle of my hard heart
you know you make me a ghost

i’m an invisible disaster
i keep trying to walk on my feet
don’t find the sound, the ground
it’s like living in a black dream
i keep trying to scream
but my tongue has finally lost its soul
tried to say goodbye
to the pieces of me that have already died

i’m a ghost, haunting these halls
climbing the walls that i never knew were there
and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
i’m broken down the middle of my hard heart
you know you make me a ghost

oh you make me ghost
you make me a ghost
you make me a ghost

i don’t cry, i don’t try anymore
and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
i’m broken down the middle

i’m a ghost, haunting these halls
climbing the walls that i never knew were there
and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart
i’m broken down the middle of my hard heart
you know you make me a ghost

RACHAEL YAMAGATA: YOU WON'T LET ME.


After hearing YOU WON'T LET ME by RACHAEL YAMAGATA, if somebody had any doubt that it is one of the best songwriters of her generation, is confirmed. Hope you like.




ALBUM VERSION



LYRICS

If you'd only let me,
I could show you how to love.

Take our time,
let it all go.

If you'd only let me,
show you how to cry.

In your darkest hour,
I will lead you through the fire.

You won't let me,
You won't let me,
I don't wanna say goodbye,
I just wanna give it one more try.

And I'd do anything,
Yes, I'd do anything.
If you'd only let me.

With your hand in mine,
I would show you how to laugh.

Nothing heavy, nothing serious.
Just forget about all that.

You've been stepping back,
I wanna be your friend.

Tear down the walls that surround you,
Build you back up again.

But, you won't let me.
You won't let me.
I don't wanna say goodbye.
I just wanna give it one more try.

And I'd do anything,
Yes, I'd do anything.

So, tonight, stay with me.
I know I can change your mind.

But you won't let me..
You won't let me…
I don't wanna say goodbye.
I just wanna give it one more try,
But you won't let me.
You won't let me.

I don't wanna say goodbye,
I just want to give it one more try.
But you won't let me.
But you won't let me.

And I'd do anything for you..
I'd do anything for you,
But you won't let me..
You won't let me…

You won't let me.

LISA HANNIGAN: LITTLE BIRD


One of the more interesting artists of the last years is LISA HANNIGAN. Recently she has published "Passenger" Her second album. We can find on it gems like this LITTLE BIRD a precious song with an unusual clip. Hope You like.




LYRICS

Your heart sings like a kettle
And your words, they boil away like steam.
And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,
A heart is built for both it seems.
You are lonely as a church,
Despite the queuing out your door.
I am empty as a promise, no more.

When the time comes,
And rights have been read,
I think of you often
But for once I meant what I said.

I was salted by your hunger,
Now you've gone and lost your appetite
And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.
I am lonely as a memory
Despite the gathering round the fire.
Aren't you every bird on every wire?

When the time comes,
And rights have been read,
I think of you often
But for once I meant what I said.
Here I stay, I lay me down,
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
Here I stay, I lay me down,
In a house by the Hill.
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

I Love DANCE TO THE END OF LOVE from LEONARD COHEN and the version by MADELEINE PEYROUX from this song is one of my favourites. Today I want to listen both versions because is the song that I need in this moment and I cannot forget another wonderful bonus extra by THE CIVIL WARS. Hope you Like.

MADELEINE PEYROUX



THE CIVIL WARS



LEONARD COHEN



LYRICS

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

THE BE GOOD TANYAS: A THOUSAND TINY PIECES.


In case of fire probably the first thing I will save are my three albums from THE BE GOOD TANYAS. Today I wanted to remember one of my favorites songs original from SEAN HAYES entitled A THOUSAND TINY PIECES. Hope you like.



In a Live Performance:



The original Version by SEAN HAYES



LYRICS

Let’s play this one out, until it explodes
Into a thousand tiny pieces
What’s the story universe
You are melody in numbers
You were shapes you were rhythms
There are signs that we can learn
Place over the heavens
To predict how long we’ll burn
How long will I last?
Can you turn up the heat?
What star am I circling?
What’s circling me?
Am I ebb, am I flow?
My lack of control
Turn it on, turn it up
Say yes, play no

Things keep changing
Things keep changing
Things keep changing

PAULA COLE: MUSIC IN ME.


Last Year, my adored PAULA COLE returned with "Ithaca" her fifth album. Today I want to remember MUSIC IN ME one of the best songs of this album that remind us the essence from her firsts albums. Hope you like.




LYRICS

The echo of shame, the voice inside my head,
The need for love, the insecurity.

Cutting me down, to the fourteen year old girl,
The Father Figure criticizing me.

Go on – through the darkest night,
Cause I know inside the answer’s here in me.

There’s blood on my soul, for speaking out my pain,
Perpetuating hurt in family.
My mother in me – I cannot explain,
My need for love from her will never wane.

Go on – through the darkest night,
Cause I know inside the answer’s here in me.
Go on – the shadowboxing fight
Disappears when all the music’s here in me.
Like an oracle the music’s here in me.
And I thank you God for music here in me.

Go on – through the darkest night,
Cause I know inside the answer’s here in me
Go on – the shadowboxing fight
And I’ll heal with understanding,
And I’ll deal with patient loving,
And I’ll make it cause the music’s here in me.
