Celebramos la música de The Who

Quiero presentar una primicia ante ustedes. Este video, proviene de los ensayos previos a la gira europea y tocan 3 de las 6 canciones que componen su nueva mini-opera wire & glass que saldrá a la venta en edición limitada el 10 de Julio en el Reino Unido y es un buen aperitivo a su gira española.

Estoy seguro que provocará en ustedes el mismo entusiasmo que en mi.

Igualmente quiero agradecer al mítico escritor Daniel Durán su apreciada colaboración en esta página, en la que espero participe frecuentemente.





Siguiendo la buena idea de nuestro amigo Adso, ahí van las letras de estos tres temas. Espero vuestros comentarios.

PICK UP THE PEACE

Now I'm in the Ether

Look down on time
I see three children
Prepare to walk the line

I see them older
And life was gone

I was a loser
Let me be rewon

Come on let's try to pick up the peace
You and I on our hands and knees
Come on let's try to pick up, pick up, the peace

Come on let's try to touch the feast
You and I on our hands and knees
Come on let's try to pick up, pick up, the peace


Why do old people forget
That's the war they've seen
Are about me longing for you
You longing for me

You longing for me


ENDLESS WIRE

We found a pile of paper
written by the Ether Man.
He hatched a mad old caper;
he had a mad old plan.

He'd turn us into music.
He'd show us to our portals.
He'd gather wire and angels,
to entertain immortals.

Out on the endless, endless;
out on the endless wire.
Out on the endless, endless;
out on the endless, endless,
endless, endless wire.


MIRROR DOOR

If you don't hear me how can I tell you
If you don't listen why should I speak
If you're indifferent how can I reach you
Just cos you're angry don't assume I'm weak

Howlin Wolf and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C


Music makes me, makes me strong
Strong vibrations make me long
Long for a place where I belong
You will find me in this song

Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music or will there be war
Will we be rich or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door

Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music or will there be war
Will we be rich or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door

A 1000 angels, a million children
Fire appears in a suicide eye
Golden stairway to a zeppelin heaven
Rolling thunder under a New York sky

Frank and Ella Ray, what'd I say
Johnny Cash and Johnny Ray
Amadeus and Ludwig Van
Henry, Johann and the Doodah Band

We are here in celebration
This music's gonna make a song
We're gonna climb to the golden station
Curtis Mayfield ain't waitin long

Get along


Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music or will there be war
Will we be rich or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door


Who will walk through the mirror door
Will there be music or will there be war
Will we be rich or will we be poor
Who will walk through the mirror door


The mirror door
The mirror door

Howlin Wolf and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C

Frank and Ella Ray, what'd I say
Johnny Cash and Johnny Ray
Amadeus and Ludwig Van
Henry, Johann and the Doodah Band

Keep on climbin'

¡Qué ganas de verlos en directo!
Yo quiero jugar a adivinar todos los nombres de músicos que aparecen en la canción MIRROR DOOR:

"Howlin Wolf and old Link Wray
Dave Van Ronk and Doris Day
Bobby Darin, Brownie McGee
Elvis, Buddy and Eddie C"


Todos están claros. Van Ronk es el cantante de folk, Buddy es Buddy Holly, Brownie McGee y Eddie C. Campbell son bluesmen.

"Frank and Ella Ray, what'd I say
Johnny Cash and Johnny Ray
Amadeus and Ludwig Van
Henry, Johann and the Doodah Band"


¿Frank Sinatra y Ella Fitzgerald? Mozart y Beethoven... ¿Henry? ¿Bach? ¿Doodah Band?

¿Qué opináis?
