"The House of the Rising Sun (La casa del Sol naciente) es una canción folk de los Estados Unidos. También llamada "Rising Sun Blues", narra la vida de alguien que ha tenido poca fortuna en Nueva Orleans (estado de Luisiana). No se conoce el autor. Dependiendo de la versión, la canción puede ser interpretada desde la perspectiva de una mujer o de un hombre.

La grabación más antigua conocida fue hecha por Clarence Ashley y Gwen Foster en 1934. Ashley había aprendido la canción de su abuelo.

A veces se utiliza, en la actualidad, la expresión "House Of The Rising Sun" como un eufemismo de prostíbulo, pero hasta la fecha, no se ha podido establecer la relación ni descubrir plenamente la casa que dio origen a la canción. Otros la vinculan a una casa de juego." Fuente: Wikipedia

Esta es la versión más conocida, y la mejor para mi gusto, interpretada por The Animals en 1964.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

------ solo de órgano ------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Sittin back i only wish,
Today will turn out fine,
And wash away the stain,
The poison in my eyes,
What do you recommend,
I feel my life descending,
I'm fallin outta reach,
Catch me as i bleed (again)

Im not insane,
Can't reach the pain.

[CHORUS]
If i could be all by myself,
i could be me,
I you could see, live with my pain,
The thoughts that i keep.

I hate the way they are,
Thier patronising thoughts,
Tried to get inside my head,
Ask the questions i have read,
But one thing makes it hard,
Feel so fragile as i cry,
So confused yet so alive,
So abused the system lied,
You lied to me.

Im not insane,
Can't reach the pain.

[CHORUS]

Alone,
Alone.

Hands appeared around my neck,
Felt so hard to breath i stared,
As my focus turned to haze,
I could see them.

Im not insane,
Can't reach the pain.

[CHORUS]
If i could be all by myself,
I could be free,
If you could see, live with my pain,
The thoughts that i keep,
Alone, Alone, Alone.

Descend,
Descend.

Well even the longest night won't last forever
But too many hopes and dreams won't see the light
And all of the plans I make won't come together

Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right

And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight

Well even the brightest star won't shine forever
But all of the hands I play are working out right
And every move I make feels like a winner

Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right

And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight

Los pelos de pollo se me ponen cada vez que la escucho. Una versión un tanto especial:

I don't have to say
A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood
I'm going through
Feels as though
I've known you forever

You
Can look into my
eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known
you forever

Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always
be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are
in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring
Amigos para siempre

We share memories
I won't forget
And we'll share more,
My friend,
We haven't started yet
Something happens
When we're together

When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we
must say goodbye
I'm alive when we
are together

Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always
be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are
in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring
Amigos para siempre

When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we
must say goodbye

I'm alive when we
are together

Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always
be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are
in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring
Amigos para siempre

Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always
be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer
or a spring

(Stop)
Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mister Postman

Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Pleas Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me

I've been standin' here waitin' Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine

So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time

(Why don't you check it and see one more time for me, you gotta)
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see

(C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner the better)
Mister Postman

Simplemente... EL MEJOR, original e inolvidable siendo blanco o negro, como dice la canción.

Con sorpresita para los fans de Gun's and Roses. Pero no os perdais el videoclip original.

I Took My Baby
On A Saturday Bang
Boy Is That Girl With You
Yes We're One And The Same

Now I Believe In Miracles
And A Miracle
Has Happened Tonight

But, If
You're Thinkin'
About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

They Print My Message
In The Saturday Sun
I Had To Tell Them
I Ain't Second To None

And I Told About Equality
An It's True
Either You're Wrong
Or You're Right

But, If
You're Thinkin'
About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

I Am Tired Of This Devil
I Am Tired Of This Stuff
I Am Tired Of This Business
Sew When The
Going Gets Rough
I Ain't Scared Of
Your Brother
I Ain't Scared Of No Sheets
I Ain't Scare Of Nobody
Girl When The
Goin' Gets Mean

[L. T. B. Rap Performance]
Protection
For Gangs, Clubs
And Nations
Causing Grief In
Human Relations
It's A Turf War
On A Global Scale
I'd Rather Hear Both Sides
Of The Tale
See, It's Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I've Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I'm Not Going To Spend
My Life Being A Color

[Michael]
Don't Tell Me You Agree With Me
When I Saw You Kicking Dirt In My Eye

But, If
You're Thinkin' About My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White

I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Baby
It Don't Matter If You're Black Or White

I Said If
You're Thinkin' Of
Being My Brother
It Don't Matter If You're
Black Or White

Ooh, Ooh
Yea, Yea, Yea Now
Ooh, Ooh
Yea, Yea, Yea Now

It's Black, It's White
It's Tough For You
To Get By
It's Black , It's White, Whoo

It's Black, It's White
It's Tough For You
To Get By
It's Black , It's White, Whoo

Me emociona escucharlos. Emocionaros conmigo. ¬¬U

All alone, staring on
Watching her life go by
When her days are grey
And her nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one eyed furry toy
That lies upon the bed
Has often heard her cry
And heard her whisper out a name
Long forgiven, but not forgotten

You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten

A bleeding heart torn apart
Left on an icy grave
In the room where they once lay
Face to face
Nothing could get in their way
But now the memories of the man are haunting her days
And the craving never fades
She's still dreaming of a man
Long forgiven, but not forgotten

You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten

Still alone, staring on
Wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man
Long forgiven, but not forgotten

You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten
You're not forgotten
No, You're not forgotten

Os presento a uno de mis grupos favoritos y que se presentaron en mi vida de casualidad.

Todo se lo tengo que gradecer a mis antiguos vecinos Irlandeses (solo él, ella es española) que me regalaron un cinta original de este grupo que compraron en una plaza (de irlanda, no me expicificaron más el lugar) donde estaban tocando  sin ser todavia famosos.  Les dije mis tendencias musicales y les pareció regalármelo. Como os podreis imaginar era el primer disco y no dejé de escucharlo durante todos los viajes que hacia con mis padres en el coche, hasta que la cinta se me estropeó . Con el tiempo me fui comprando los siguientes discos pero nunca volví a tener el primero, hasta que conocí a mi novio que tiene la afición de escuchar también música durante los viajes. El rencuentro fue muy muy emotivo. Gracias destino. ;-)

Un grupo con mucho Soft Rock. Me encantan.

Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees

I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday

You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well. . . so well

You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion, so I can complain

CHORUS

I know who I am, but who are you?
You're not looking like you used to
You're on the other side of the mirror
So nothing's looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now you're the parasite
I didn't think you had it in you
And now you're looking like I used to!

You came in with the breeze
On Sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly
You cannot have me
I thought I knew you
But I've got a new view
I thought I knew you well . . . oh well
