    Si pudiese, Sabes que lo haria, Si pudiese, lo dejaría pasar

     
    Durante mucho tiempo he querido compartir este video con alguien, es algo que realmente no se puede explicar. Es un momento increible, algo que significó mucho en aquel momento, una aparente actuación en un festival benéfico (Live Aid) en el estadio de Wembley (Londres) en 1985 ante muchísimas personas y que cambió muchas cosas simplemente con 12 minutos. Dos canciones que iban a ser tres, pero que por culpa de la emoción del momento hubo que improvisar y desechar la última canción.
     
    De verdad, desearia que mas allá de lo que dura el video alguien pudiese entender la canción, la letra, el significado, la sensación de aquel momento, la atmósfera, el ímpetu, la rabia contenida, la impotencia, la equivocación, la sorpresa, el desastre, la cara de tener la sensación de haberla cagado, la improvisación del momento y el vuelque final del estadio ante la mejor versión de Bad que jamás ha hecho U2 y que jamás conseguirán volver a hacer.
     
    ¿Por que 12 minutos? Porque las cosas empiezan a descontrolarse en el minuto seis..
     
    "We're an Irish band,
    We come from Dublin City, Ireland.
     
    Like all cities,
    it has its good
    and it has its bad..
     
    ..This is a song called Bad"

      

    "Bad"

    If you twist and turn away
    If you tear yourself in two again
    If I could, yes I would
    If I could, I would
    Let it go
    Surrender
    Dislocate

    If I could throw this
    Lifeless lifeline to the wind
    Leave this heart of clay
    See you walk, walk away
    Into the night
    And through the rain
    Into the half-light
    And through the flame

    If I could through myself
    Set your spirit free
    I'd lead your heart away
    See you break, break away
    Into the light
    And to the day

    To let it go
    And so to fade away
    To let it go
    And so fade away

    I'm wide awake
    I'm wide awake
    Wide awake
    I'm not sleeping
    Oh, no, no, no

    If you should ask then maybe they'd
    Tell you what I would say
    True colors fly in blue and black
    Blue silken sky and burning flag
    Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

    If I could, you know I would
    If I could, I would
    Let it go...

    This desperation
    Dislocation
    Separation
    Condemnation
    Revelation
    In temptation
    Isolation
    Desolation
    Let it go

    And so fade away
    To let it go
    And so fade away
    To let it go
    And so to fade away

    I'm wide awake
    I'm wide awake
    Wide awake
    I'm not sleeping
    Oh, no, no, no

    Cuando las Estrellas se vuelven azules...

    Me encanta la versión que han hecho los Corrs de esta canción de Ryan Adams. Esta canción inicialmente fue grabada para el disco de los Corrs con canciones para la cadena VH1 (VH1 Presents the Corrs Live in Dublin), y como sorpresa cuando van a cantar esta canción aparece Bono y hace un dueto con Andrea, dueto que han repetido unas cuantas veces desde entonces. El disco no solo tiene esta sopresa, además de esta canción, contiene una versión de Ruby Tuesday de los Stones (con Ron Wood) bastantye buena y algunas de sus mejores canciones en directo (vamos, un disco impecable!).
     
    Aunque este video no es el de la versión de ese disco, sino del Live 8, me encanta como Bono mantene el detalle de recibir a Andrea con una rosa, la sonrisa de ella al verla y como cantan la canción con tanta complicidad entre ellos. Al igual que en el dueto original, me encanta el final, cuando dejan de cantar antes de que los Corrs hayan terminao de tocar y la coge de la mano para bailar. Otra cosa que me llama la atención es ver como Andrea canta descalza 
     
    Increible
     
     
    When the Stars Go Blue
     
    Dancin' where the stars go blue
    Dancin' where the evening fell
    Dancin' in your wooden shoes
    In a wedding gown

    Dancin' out on 7th street
    Dancin' through the underground
    Dancin' little marionette
    Are you happy now?
    Yeah(Bono)

    Where do you go when you're lonely
    Where do you go when you're blue
    Where do you go when you're lonely
    I'll follow you
    When the stars go blue, blue
    When the stars go blue, blue
    When the stars go blue, blue
    When the stars go blue

    Laughing with your pretty mouth
    Laughing with your broken eyes
    Laughing with your lover's tongue
    In a lullaby

    Where do you go when you're lonely
    Where do you go when you're blue
    Where do you go when you're lonely
    I'll follow you
    When the stars go blue, blue
    When the stars go blue, blue
    When the stars, when the stars go blue, blue
    When the stars go blue
    When the stars go blue, blue, blue
    Stars go blue
    When the stars go blue

    Where do you go when you're lonely
    Where do you go when you're blue, yeah
    Where do you go when you're lonely
    I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you
    I'll follow you, I'll follow you, yeah
    Where do you go, yeah
    Where do you go,
     Where do you go...

    Angels - Eternity

     I sit and wait
    Does an angel contemplate my fate
    And do they know
    The places where we go
    When were grey and old
    cos I have been told
    That salvation lets their wings unfold
    So when Im lying in my bed
    Thoughts running through my head
    And I feel the love is dead
    Im loving angels instead

    And through it all she offers me protection
    A lot of love and affection
    Whether Im right or wrong
    And down the waterfall
    Wherever it may take me
    I know that life wont break me
    When I come to call she wont forsake me
    Im loving angels instead

    When Im feeling weak
    And my pain walks down a one way street
    I look above
    And I know Ill always be blessed with love
    And as the feeling grows
    She breathes flesh to my bones
    And when love is dead
    Im loving angels instead

    And through it all she offers me protection
    A lot of love and affection
    Whether Im right or wrong
    And down the waterfall
    Wherever it may take me
    I know that life wont break me
    When I come to call she wont forsake me
    Im loving angels instead

    And through it all she offers me protection
    A lot of love and affection
    Whether Im right or wrong
    And down the waterfall
    Wherever it may take me
    I know that life wont break me
    When I come to call she wont forsake me
    Im loving angels instead

     

     

     

     Close your eyes so you don't fear them
    They don't need to see you cry
    I can't promise I will heal you
    But if you want to I will try

    I'll sing this somber serenade
    The past is done
    We've been betrayed
    It's true
    Someone said the truth will out
    I believe without a doubt, in you

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you gave me what I need
    And I hope you find your freedom
    For eternity...
    For eternity

    Yesterday when you were walking
    We talked about your mum and dad
    What they did that made you happy
    What they did that made you sad
    We sat and watched the sun go down
    Picked a star before we lost the moon
    Youth is wasted on the young
    Before you know it's come and gone to soon

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you gave me what I need
    And I hope you find your freedom
    For eternity...
    For eternity

    For eternity
    I'll sing this somber serenade
    The past is done
    We've been betrayed
    It's true
    Youth is wasted on the young
    Before you know it's come and gone to soon

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you are a friend indeed
    And I hope you find your freedom
    For eternity

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you are a friend indeed
    And I know you'll find your freedom
    Eventually
    For eternity
    For eternity

    Perdamos el tiempo cazando coches

    A pesar de que lo intento, no consigo quitarme esta canción de la cabeza
     
    Grande Snow Patrol... pocas veces una canción se puede acercar tanto a lo que sientes en un momento dado
