Desprotección

Según lo que narra Anciloquio en la Cerca del Pino Pomposo, uno llega a la conclusión de que determinada gente ocupa un cargo público, pero sin desempeñarlo.

La falta de agua y otros suministros afecta a cerca de un tercio de los habitantes empadronados en un término municipal, y la entidad promotora de la urbanización en cuestión se desentiende del asunto.

El Ayuntamiento parece no estar tampoco por la labor de mobilizarse para garantizar el acceso a servicios de primera necesidad para estos ciudadanos que, no nos olvidemos, financian una parte de los sueldos de dicha Corporación con sus impuestos.

Es que hay cosas que me sacarían de quicio, incluso si no se tratase de mi familia.

Sam Tsui / Kurt Schneider (III de III)

Sam y Kurt interpretando un extraordinario medley de algunos de los mayores éxitos de Michael Jackson a capella. Bueno, en realidad son Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam y Kurt.

Éste es el último episodio de la serie dedicada a este dúo... trío... quinteto... bueno, a Sam y Kurt.

Que lo disfrutéis, y besucos.

The way you make me feel...

A B C - Easy as 1 2 3

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back

Where there is love
I'll be there

Got to make a change
for once in my life
(I'll reach out my hand to you)
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
(I'll have faith in all you do)

Just call my name
And I'll be there

A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On The Wind You Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself,
And Make A Change

You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A Smooth criminal

She was more like a beauty queen
from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean
I am the one
(Thriller)
Who will dance
(Thriller night)
on the floor
in the round
(And no one's gonna save you)
(from the beast about strike)

She told me her name was Billie Jean
as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed
of being the one
(Thriller)
Who will dance
(Thriller night)
on the floor
in the round
(You're fighting for your life inside a)
(killer, thriller tonight)

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
(Billie Jean is not my lover)
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
(She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one)
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
(but the kid is not my son)
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it
(You and I must make a pact)
Just beat it, beat it
(We must bring salvation back)
Just beat it, beat it
(I'll reach out my hand to you)
Just beat it, beat it
(It's a thriller, thriller night)
Just beat it, beat it
(Billie Jean is not my lover)
Just beat it, beat it
(She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one)
Just beat it, beat it
(but the kid is not my son)

Sam Tsui / Kurt Schneider (II de III)

En esta ocasión, Sam se acompaña de sus cinco mejores amigos (Sam, Sam, Sam y Sam en las voces, y Kurt produciendo y... bueno, haciendo todo lo que no es cantar, que acabamos antes.)

Que lo disfrutéis, y besucos.

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people

Good Enough

Hoy me siento bien. Dolorido, pero fefinitifamenfe fien, así que aquí queda una pequeña perla de regalo. No es nueva, pero es buena.

Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart
And it's bleeding in your hands
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough for you

Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself
And I don't mind
I can't say no to you

Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel

Good enough
I feel good enough

It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good

And I'm still waiting
for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me

'Cause I can't hold on
To anything this

Good enough
Am I good enough
For you to love me to?

So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no

by Evanescence

Sam Tsui / Kurt Schneider (I de III)

Como ya sabréis si seguís este irregular blog, últimamente estoy descubriendo nuevos músicos a través de YouTube.

Recientemente, y gracias a dos vídeos de Nick Pitera, he empezado a apreciar ese toque extra que supone trasladar el overdubbing al vídeo musical. Es decir, vídeos musicales en los que un cantante interpreta varias voces de un tema, tanto en la pista de audio como en la de vídeo.

Hay muchos ejemplos de este estilo de hacer videoblogs musicales, pero hoy me voy a centrar en el dúo integrado por el (multi)vocalista Sam Tsui y el compositor/arreglista/multiinstrumentista Kurt Schneider.

No me voy a extender más, cosa que más de un@ agradecerá.

Que los disfrutéis.

Besucos

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball that's just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams.

Segmento De CNN Sobre WATW...

Hace unas dos semanas os comentaba el extraordinario video que Lisa Lavie había creado junto a otros 56 cantantes que comparten como principal vía de distribución para su música la plataforma YouTube.

Hoy la cadena CNN se ha hecho eco de la alucinante aceptación que el video ha tenido, dedicándole este segmento, presentado por el periodista Josh Levs.

¡¡¡Enhorabuena a los 57!!!

...y besucos a tod@s

He descubierto, casi por accidente, una colaboración entre Ahmir y Nick Pitera, que me ha sorprendido gratamente. Y no por la colaboración en sí porque, por mucho que me gusten estos artistas, las voces de Ahmir y la de Nick no suenan bien en conjunto. O no me gustan a mí, al menos.

Reconozco que hasta ese momento yo no sabía nada de Kelly Clarkson, ni mucho menos de este temazo (que lo es, pese a algunas rimas algo forzadas).

Queda oficialmente agregado a mi lista de canciones estimulantes. O como diría alguno, canciones despegalegañas.

Espero que os guste.

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before

Like how much you wanted
anyone but me.
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again.

Cuz we belong together now
Yeah
Forever united here somehow
Yeah
You've got a piece of me
And honestly
My life
would suck
without you.

Maybe I was stupid
for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for
tryin' to pick a fight

I know that I've got issues
(but) you're pretty messed up too
(and) either way I found out
I'm nothing without you.

Cuz we belong together now
Yeah
Forever united here somehow
Yeah
You've got a piece of me
And honestly
My life
would suck
without you.

Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh, yeah

Cuz we belong together now
Yeah
Forever united here somehow
Yeah
You've got a piece of me
And honestly
My life
would suck
without you.

Cuz we belong together now
Yeah
Forever united here somehow
Yeah
You've got a piece of me
And honestly
My life
would suck
without you.

Good Vibrations

Metámonos en situación: Página número séis de la edición barcelonesa de hoy (impresa) del diario 20 Minutos.

Un titular domina la página, como lo hace el artículo que resalta:

El seísmo de Chile movió el eje de la Tierra y acortó el día.

En la esquina inferior derecha de la misma página, una reseña sobre el estado de la Bolsa nos aclara que:

Continúan las buenas vibraciones.

Sin palabros, ñoras y ñores.
