Un fan no ha perdido el tiempo y ya ha «colgado» en YouTube un videoclip editado por él a partir de las imágenes que ya hemos podido ver y de la primera canción del disco.

Snow Patrol — “Signal Fire”

The perfect words never crossed my mind, ‘cause there was nothing in there but you, I felt every ounce of me screaming out, But the sound was trapped deep in me, All I wanted just span right past me, While I was rooted fast to the earth, I could be stuck here for a thousand years, Without your arms to drag me out, There you are standing right in front of me (x2) All this here falls away to leave me naked, Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety No I wont wait forever (x2) In the confusion and the aftermath, You are my signal fire, The only resolution and the only joy, Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes, There you are standing right in front of me (x2) All this here falls away to leave me naked, Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety, There you are standing right in front of me (x2) All this here falls away to leave me naked, Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety, No I wont wait forever (x3)

Minutos musicales: KIRSTEN DUNST cantará las canciones de BLONDIE 16/03/2007

Kirsten Dunst cambia un personaje histórico por otro, en este caso bastante más reciente y aún en vida. Acabamos de ver a «Mary Jane» con peluca en el «biopic» de María Antonieta y próximamente la veremos encarnando a Debbie Harry, la reconocible cantante de Blondie (grupo que tuvo su mejor momento entre finales de los años 70 y principios de los 80) que posteriormente emprendió una carrera en solitario.

Parecidos razonables.

Ella me eligió, así que el que tenga algún problema con esa decisión puede hablarlo con ella.

Heart of Glass, el primer gran éxito de Blondie.

Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind In between What I find is pleasing and I’m feeling fine Love is so confusing there’s no peace of mind If I fear I’m losing you it’s just no good You teasing like you do Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I’m the one you’re using, please don’t push me aside We could’ve made it cruising, yeah Yeah, riding high on love’s true bluish light Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out I had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing only to find Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind

Call Me, el mayor éxito de Blondie.

Colour me your colour, baby Colour me your car Colour me your colour, darling I know who you are Come up off your colour chart I know where you’re comin’ from Call me (call me) on the line Call me, call me any, anytime Call me (call me) my love You can call me any day or night Call me Cover me with kisses, baby Cover me with love Roll me in designer sheets I’ll never get enough Emotions come, I don’t know why Cover up love’s alibi Call me (call me) on the line Call me, call me any, anytime Call me (call me) oh love When you’re ready we can share the wine Call me Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, he speaks the languages of love Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, amore, chiamami, chiamami Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, appelle-moi mon cherie, appelle-moi Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any way Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, any day-ay Call me (call me) my love Call me, call me any, anytime Call me (call me) for a ride Call me, call me for some overtime Call me (call me) my love Call me, call me in a sweet design Call me (call me), call me for your lover’s lover’s alibi Call me (call me) on the line Call me, call me any, anytime Call me (call me) Oh, call me, oo-hoo-hah Call me (call me) my love Call me, call me any, anytime

French Kissin’, una de las mejores canciones de Debbie Harry.

Love’s touch comes to mean so much (Embrasser c’est Francais, Embrasser c’est Francais) Love’s way, S’abandonner (Embrasser c’est Francais, Embrasser c’est Francais) Slip inot the velvet glove Parted lips so filled with love (Embrasser c’est Francais, Embrasser c’est Francais) French kissin’ in the USA French kissin’ in the USA Hey French kissin’ French kissin’ in the USA French kissin’ in the USA Lips are in motion (Ocean to ocean) Woah Paris is calling (Falling, we’re falling, Oooh Oh Oh) Lips close then blossom like a rose (Embrasser c’est Francais, Embrasser c’est Francais) Lips wide holding you inside (Embrasser c’est Francais, Embrasser c’est Francais) Kisses hard kisses deep, a kiss to wake us from our sleep (Embrasser c’est Francais, Embrasser c’est Francais) Take you lover by the hand, speak in tongues and understand French kissin’ in the USA French kissin’ in the USA Hey French kissin’ French kissin’ in the USA French kissin’ in the USA Lips are in motion (Ocean to ocean) Woah Paris is calling (Falling, we’re falling, Oooh Oh Oh) French kissin’ in the USA French kissin’ in the USA Hey French kissin’ French kissin’ in the USA

Minutos musicales: ¿HALLE BERRY deja el cine por la música? 20/12/2006

Hay profesionales de las artes para los que recibir un premio no es precisamente el espaldarazo o confirmación definitiva de su carrera sino todo lo contrario. Entre ellos, yo incluiría a Halle Berry, que desde que recibió el Oscar a la Mejor Actriz por Monster’s Ball en 2002, ha hecho poco más «destacable» que ser «chica Bond» (rol tradicionalmente reservado a actrices en ciernes), seguir apareciendo en la saga de X-Men (de la que supuestamente había renegado) y hacer el ridículo en Catwoman (en la que compartió pantalla con otra «maldita» post-Oscar como Sharon Stone).

¿Me dejas apuntarme al «remake»?

Por todo ello, no es difícil tomarse en serio el rumor que dice que el 6 de febrero sería la fecha elegida para la publicación del primer disco de esta actriz afroamericana. De momento, lo que existe es un supuesto listado de los temas incluidos:

1. Miss Sexy
2. No Problem
3. Sunshine
4. How You Been?
5. Like That
6. Around
7. Lazy
8. Your Love Is Always Good
9. Not Today
10. Write Me
11. Love & Emotions
12. Singing To You
13. Go Left

Mientras esperamos a que llegue el momento (o no) de escuchar su voz, podemos hacer tiempo escuchando la del cantante Eric Benét y de paso comprobar (si finalmente el disco se hace realidad) si a Halle se le ha «pegado» algo del talento musical del que fue su segundo marido (2001-2004).

Georgy Porgy (con Faith Evans, viuda de Notorious B.I.G.), original de Toto

It’s not your situation I just need contemplation Over you I’m not so systematic It’s just that I’m an addict for your love I’m not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You’re my only girl I’m not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You’re my only world Georgy Porgy puddin’ pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Georgy Porgy puddin’ pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Georgy Porgy puddin’ pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Kissed the girls and made them cry Kissed the girls and made them cry Just think how long I’ve known ya’ It’s wrong for me to own ya’ Lock and key It’s really not confusion I’m just the young illusion Can’t you see I’m not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You’re my only girl I’m not the only one that holds you I never ever should have told you You’re my only world Georgy Porgy puddin’ pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Georgy Porgy puddin’ pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Georgy Porgy puddin’ pie Kissed the girls and made them cry Kissed the girls and made them cry Kissed the girls and made them cry

Spend My Life With You (con Tamia)

I never knew such a day could come And I never knew such a love Could be inside of one And I never knew what my life was for But now that you’re here I know for sure I never knew till I looked in your eyes I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life And I never knew that my heart could feel So precious and pure One love so real Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes Can I just feel your heart beating beside me Every night Can we just feel this way together Till the end of all time Can I just spend my life with you Now baby the days and the weeks And the years will roll by But nothing will change the love inside Of you and I And baby I’ll never find any words That could explain Just how much my heart my life My soul you’ve changed Can you run to these open arms When no one else understands Can we tell God and the whole world I’m your woman, and you’re my man Can’t you just feel how much I love you With one touch of my hand Can I just spend my life with you No touch has ever felt so wonderful (You are incredible) And a deeper love I’ve never known (I’ll never let you go) I swear this love is true (Now and forever to you) (only for you) To you Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes Can I just feel your heart beating beside me Every night Can we just feel this way together Till the end of all time Can I just spend my life with you Can you run to these open arms When no one else understands Can we tell God and the whole world You’re my woman, and you’re my man Can’t you just feel how much I love you With one touch of my hand Can I just spend my life with you Can I just spend my life with you Can I just spend my life with you (Forever here with you) Can I just spend my life with you Can I just see you every morning when I Open my eyes

Minutos musicales: GHOST RIDER cantará canciones de CARPENTERS 11/12/2006

Minutos musicales: la virginal KATIE HOLMES pre-TOM CRUISE 19/11/2006

Lo más destacado del Curriculum Vitae de Katie Holmes, antes de ser ayudante del fiscal del distrito en Batman Begins y de dejarse preñar por Tom Cruise, era su protagonismo en los 128 episodios de Dawson Crece (Dawson’s Creek).

Esta versión «intelectual» (los chavales no paraban de comerse el tarro por todo) de la «pija» Sensación de Vivir que completó seis temporadas (demasiadas) en emisión fue perdiendo su idílico encanto año tras año hasta que los guionistas decidieron finiquitarla porque ya no se les ocurrían más formas de «marear la perdiz».

La canción que aparecía en los créditos iniciales de la serie se llama I Don’t Want To Wait y es original de la cantautora Paula Cole, concretamente de su disco This Fire editado en 1996.

So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive And see the peace in every I She had two babies One was six months one was three In the war of ’44 Every telephone ring Every heartbeat stinging When she thought it was God calling her Oh would her son grow to know his father [CHORUS:] I don’t want to wait For our lives to be over I want to know right know What will it be I don’t want to wait For our lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be Sorry He showed up all wet On the rainy front step Wearing shrapnel in his skin And the war he saw Lives inside him still It’s so hard to be gentle and warm The years passed by and now He has granddaughters [Chorus] Oh so you look at me From across the room You’re wearing your anguish again Believe me, i know the feeling It sucks you into the jaws of anger Oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life All we have is the very moment And I don’t want to do what His father and his father and his father did I want to be here now So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive And see the peace in every I [Chorus (2 times)] So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive And see the love in every eye

Minutos musicales: esta canción no estará en SPIDERMAN 3 14/11/2006

Mientras nos estremecemos de gusto ante lo que promete la tercera parte de las aventuras del Hombre Araña en la gran pantalla a la vista de su recién estrenado trailer oficial…

…y del «no oficial» (que incluye una fugaz aparición de Venom)…

…y como aún habrá que esperar varios meses para el gran estreno, «disfrutemos» mientras tanto con la versión «arácnida» que unos indocumentados han perpetrado a costa de Take on Me, el tema que propulsó al trio popero noruego A-ha a las cotas más altas de popularidad mundial.

Talking away I don’t know what I’m to say I’ll say it anyway today’s another day to find you Shying away I’ll be coming for you love O.K. Take on me Take me on I’ll be gone in a day or two So needless to say I’m odds and ends But that’s me, stumbling away Slowly learning that life is O.K. Say after me It’s no better to be safe than sorry. Take on me Take me on I’ll be gone in a day or two. The things that you say Is it live or just to play My worries away You’re all the things I’ve got to remember You shying away I’ll be coming for you anyway Take on me Take me on I’ll be gone in a day or two

Minutos musicales: BRANDON ROUTH, el bicipolicía rapero 10/08/2006

En mi vida había oído hablar de estos tíos (un grupo de «cineastas» por descubrir) así que no sé lo que habrán hecho (parece ser que la amistad) para que Brandon Routh/Superman aparezca en su videoclip musical de coña titulado The Avon Lady.

Lo que queda patente es que el chaval (aparece a los dos minutos) tiene una vena cómica por explotar porque está bastante gracioso (¿será la bici o el bigote postizo?) en su papel de Agente de Polícia Wong (podéis llamarme Dino).

Hey bambinos so pleased to see yah! name is officer Wong but you can call me Dino….. I never faked that your kal and chez, im here to give you badges for appreciation day in addition to that we are rewarding clean trunks…. you both are funny and seems pretty kind but im talking ‘bout reward of PIZZA AND WINE for trunk of a car thats clean with a shine!

Minutos musicales: el marido de PAMELA ANDERSON 8/08/2006

Aunque la celebración tuvo lugar el 29 de julio, Pamela Anderson se convirtió oficialmente en esposa de Robert James Richie (Kid Rock) el jueves 3 de agosto en un juzgado camino del aeropuerto. Lo que no tengo muy claro es si seguirá con su nombre de soltera o se lo cambiará por el de Pamela Anderson Ritchie o Pamela Anderson Rock, teniendo en cuenta que durante su anterior matrimonio (con Tommy Lee, el batería de Mötley Crüe) se hizo llamar Pamela Anderson Lee.

Pero bueno, este post está dedicado a Kid Rock y su música («fusión» de rock, rap y, fiel a su origen sureño, country), que desde principios de los 90 sacaba discos que pasaban sin pena ni gloria. Pero la indiferencia del público empezó a desaparecer en 1997, a partir de la firma de su primer contrato por una compañía importante, Atlantic. Al año siguiente vería la luz Devil without a Cause, un album que tardó meses en cuajar pero que cuando lo hizo fue suficiente para acabar vendiendo 11 millones de copias sólo en USA.

Junto a sus apariciones televisivas, fue una canción con título ridículo la que terminó por dar a Kid Rock el reconocimiento que tanto tiempo llevaba persiguiendo: Bawitdaba, que, como anécdota, sirvió como fondo musical de un anuncio de Solido Jeans.

(Chorus & Music Fades In) Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (6x) My name is KIIIIIIIID, Kid Rock Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (4x) And this is for the questions that don’t have any answers The midnight glancers and the topless dancers The candid freaks, cars packed with speakers The G’s with the forties and the chicks with beepers The Northern Lights and the Southern Comfort And it don’t even matter if the veins are punctured All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics And all my heros at the Methodone Clinic All you bastards at the IRS For the crooked cops and the cluttered desks For the shots of jack and the caps of meth Half pints of love and the fifths of stress For the hookers all tricking out in Hollywood And for my hoods of the world misunderstood I said it’s all good and it’s all in fun Now get in the pit and try to love someone Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (4x) For the timebombs ticking and the heads that hang All the gangs getting money and the heads that bang bang Wild mustangs and porno flicks All my homies in the county in cell block six The grits when there ain’t enough eggs to cook And for DB Cooper and the money he took You can look for answers but that ain’t fun Now get in the bed and try to love someone (small solo) what,what,what,what,what what,what,what,what,what Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (4x) For the love, and for the hate And for the peace…. WARRRRRRRRRRRR Bawitdaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy said the boogy said up jump the boogy (4x) (Music Fades To Back)

Pero los «tipos duros» también tienen sus momentos tiernos, como queda demostrado con Picture, una melancólica balada romántica cantada a dúo con Sheryl Crow dentro del disco Cocky.

Verse:1 Livin’ my life in a slow hell Different girl every night At the hotel I ain’t seen the sunshine in Three damn days Been fuelin’ up on cocaine and whiskey Wish I had a good girl to miss me Lord I wonder if I’ll ever Change my ways Chorus I put your picture away Sat down and cried today I can’t look at you While I’m lying next to her I put your picture away Sat down and cried today I can’t look at you While I’m lying next to her Verse:2 I called you last night in the hotel Everyone knows But they won’t tell But their half-hearted smiles Tell me somethin’ just ain’t right I’ve been waitin’ on you for a long time Fuelin’ up on heartaches and cheap wine I ain’t heard from you in three damn nights I put your picture away I wonder where you’ve been I can’t look at you While I’m lyin’ next to him I put your picture away I wonder where you’ve been I can’t look at you While I’m lyin’ next to him (Sheryl) I saw you yesterday with an old friend (Kid) It was the same ol’ same How have you been (Both) Since you’ve been gone my worlds been Dark and gray (Kid) You reminded me of brighter days (Sheryl) I hoped you were coming home to stay I was headed to church (Kid) I was off to drag you away (Both) I thought about you for a long time Can’t seem to get you off my mind I can’t understand why we’re living life this way I found your picture today I swear I’ll change my ways I just called to say I want you To come back home I found your picture today I swear I’ll change my ways I just called to say I want you To come back home I just called to say I love you Come back home

Aparte de un disco en directo, lo último editado de Kid Rock es un trabajo homónimo donde la influencia del country está más presente que nunca. Lo próximo, si las celebraciones y la luna de miel con Pam lo permiten, saldrá a la venta a principios del años que viene.
