Lisa - Vanishing

Más pimientos rellenos de apio.

Mientras terminaba de redactar el post anterior me he encontrado con el último video que ha colgado en su perfil de YouTube mi adorada Lisa Lavie.

Se trata de una maravillosa versión de un tema de Mariah Carey, ídolo de Lisa desde su infancia, y a la que está empezando a superar, en mi humilde opinión.


Lisa Lavie - "Vanishing"


If I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Surely I would

Hear the distant laughter
Wasn't it you and me
Surviving the night
You're fading out of my sight
Swiftly

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

I was so enraptured
No sensibility
To open my eyes
I misunderstood

Now you're fading faster
It's suddenly hard to see
You're taking the light
Letting the shadows inside
Swiftly

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're...

Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence
To grasp

And if somehow I could recapture
All of the memories
And bring them to life
Lord knows I would

But now you're fading faster
It's getting so hard to see
Taking the light
Letting the darkness inside
Swiftly

You're vanishing
Drifting away
You're vanishing

You're vanishing
Drifting so far away
You're vanishing

Miley vs. Lisa: The Climb

Sí, lo sé, me repito más que un plato de pimientos rellenos de apio. Este es otro post sobre Lisa Lavie.

Y una vez más, se trata de una sesión doble: versión original, y versión á la Lisa.

¿Y quién es la "víctima" esta vez? Pues el primer sorprendido he sido yo cuando he visto que, entre lo último que ha colgado la Lavie, se halla una cover de The Climb, un tema de Destiny Hope Cyrus, más conocida por su nom de guerre, Miley Cyrus, o su papel más conocido en la caja tonta: Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana. Ah, y por ser hija de Billy Ray Cyrus, el que cantaba aquello de Achy Breaky Heart.

Vaya parrafada que acabo de soltar.

Antes de juzgar, escuchaos las dos versiones. Debo decir que ambas tienen algún punto positivo, aunque mi favorita lo es con una gran diferencia.

Se admiten opiniones.


Miley Cyrus - "The Climb"



Lisa Lavie - "The Climb"


I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin',
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you're going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

ERE en Myspace


Leo en esta noticia de VNUNet que MySpace ha decidido despedir a un tercio de sus empleados, esgrimiendo como argumento principal que la cuota de mercado de FaceBook es superior a la suya.

Leo también, con no poco asombro, que los ingresos de MySpace en 2008 supusieron más del triple (unos 1.000 millones de dólares) de los registrados por FaceBook (alrededor de 300 millones de dólares).

Ah, claro... es que, como estamos en crísis...
