Franco Battiato - Ruby Tuesday


Me ha encantado esta versión de la canción "Ruby Tuesday" que hizo Franco Battiato. Está en la banda sonora de la película "Los hijos de los hombres (Children of men)", altamente recomendable, por cierto. También han versionado el tema The Corrs o Rod Stewart.

La original la hicieron los Rolling Stones en 1966 y la incluyeron en el disco "Between the Buttons" en el 67. Pongo debajo la versión de los Rolling para que quien quiera, compare.

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Rolling Stones - Start me up


Sus geriátricas majestades vuelven a España a actuar (o a cancelar, eso ya se verá) este año. Han anunciado 4 fechas: Barcelona el 21 de junio, San Sebastián el 23, Madrid el 28 de Junio y El Ejido el 30 de junio. Veremos a ver si les quedan fuerzas este año ahora que sus miembros se acercan a cumplir las siete décadas de vida.

Aun así, me parece que tienen una fuerza brutal. El video pertenece al descanso de la final de la SuperBowl (creo) del 2006.

If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up

You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come
