I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Lo supe por un chisme) - Credence Clearwater Revival
Esta es una super canción, intepretada por un super grupo, Credence Clearwater Revival, usualmente en las radios de Guatemala se escuchaba la versión 45 que era bastante corta comparada con la versión del L.P., en Top 9-40 de La Voz del Hogar si se ponía la versión larga (11 minutos de duración).
Me gusta el sonido grueso que tiene la batería y la guitarra de Credence, recuerdo que cuando escuchaba esta canción a través de la radio cerraba los ojos y simulaba estár tocando la guitarra, me hubiera gustado poder tocar al estilo de este grupo.
Versión 45
Versión Larga Duración (para los que aguanten escucharla)
I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Creedence Clearwater Revival
1972
Ooo, bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plan to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday, ooh
[CHORUS]
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
You know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears, I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you found someone else
Instead
[repeat CHORUS]
People say you hear from what you see
Na na not from what you hear
I can't help being confused
If it's true, won't you tell me, dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy
That you knew before, ooh
[repeat CHORUS 2x]
She's not there (Ella no está ahí) - The Zombies
Sin duda alguna puedo decir que esta canción es una joya, "The Zombies" un quinteto britanico de rock al que el tiempo le ha dado su lugar, cada vez que los escucho cierro mis ojos y los imagino tocando en vivo, me produce mucha emoción, un sentimiento que es transmitido a través de la música me encanta el sonido de la guitarra, la batería, el organo y las armonías vocales que ellos tenían al intepretar sus canciones.
She's not There
The Zombies
1964
No one told me about her
The way she lied
Well, no one told me about her
How many people cried
Well, it's too late
To say you're sorry
How would I know
Why should I care
Please don't bother
Trying to find her
She's not there, ooh
Nobody told me about her
What could I do
Well, nobody told me about her
Though they all knew
Well, it's too late
To say you're sorry
How would I know
Why should I care
Please don't bother
Trying to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you
About the way she looked
The way she acted
The color of her hair
Her voice is soft and cool
Her eyes are clear and bright
But she's not there
Oh, it's too late
To say you're sorry
How would I know
Why should I care
Please don't bother
Trying to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you
About the way she looked
The way she acted
The color of her hair
Her voice is soft and cool
Her eyes are clear and bright
But she's not there
Is This the dream - The Zombies
Esta es una canción que me hace comprender la razón por la que "The Beatles" fueron rechazados por "Decca".
Lamentablemente en "Decca" no tenían un "George Martin" que ha sido considerado como el quinto Beatle y que estuvo atrás de las producciones de "The Beatles" en "Parlaphone records".
Si "The Zombies" hubieran tenido ese apoyo, estoy completamente seguro que hubieran sido más famososo de lo que son, pero en esos tiempos a ellos no les dieron esa oportunidad de poder explotar su creatividad. Esta canción es un prueba de ello, es de calidad excepcional.
Is This The Dream
The Zombies
1965
Hey, hey, hey
I want to tell you something
So listen try to understand
Hey, hey, hey
If you continue to chase the sun
I'll never be your man
I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Hey, hey, hey
I better warn you now
Someday you'll find yourself alone
Hey, hey, hey
And life's not pretty then
It's ugliness will hide the sun
I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
I'm going to do just how I feel
Don't try to hustle me the way I feel
Hey, hey, hey
I'll count the times that I told you
You really shouldn't try
And I told you
Cause baby you'll just cry for a shadow
Believe me
Baby, baby, baby
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Oh you can't live with a dream
You can't buy with a dream, oh
Is this the dream
Is this the dream you're crying for
Tell Her No (Dile no) - The Zombies
Esta es otra de las canciones que me traen muchos recuerdos de Guatemala, una de las favoritas en el "Baul de los recuerdos" que se transmitía por "Radio Progreso".
Tell Her No
The Zombies
1965
And if she should tell you come closer
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't hurt me now
For her love belongs to me
And if she should tell you
I love you, whoa, oh
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no, no, no, no, no
(Oh, oh, don't let her love from your arms)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, oh, oh, don't hurt me now
For her love belongs to me
I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now
Don't hurt me now
If she tells I love you
Just remember she said that to me
Tell her no, no, no, no, no
(Oh, yeah, don't take her love from my arms)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, oh, oh, don't leave me now
For her love belongs to me
Time of the season (Tiempo de la estación) - The Zombies
Existen canciones que despues de escucharlas muchas veces a uno le llega a aburrir, este no es el caso con esta canción, la he escuchado cientos de veces y me sigue gustando como la primera vez.
He tenido la oportunidad de escuchar esta canción en Mono y en Estereo, me gusta en ambas formas pero siento que en Mono tiene más punch.
No escribo nada acerca de "The Zombies" porque existen muchos lugares donde se puede encontrar información, nada más puedo decir que es una canción de mis recuerdos y de mi vida.
VERSIÓN MONO
VERSIÓN ESTEREO
Time Of The Season
The Zombies
1969 (Puesto # 3 del Hot 100 U.S.A)
It's the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time
Give it to me easy
And let me try
With pleasured hands
To take you in the sun to
(Promised lands)
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name
(What's your name)
Who's your daddy
(Who's your daddy)
(He rich)
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time (any time)
(To show) to show you
What you need to live
Tell it to me slowly
(Tell you what)
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name
(What's your name)
Who's your daddy
(Who's your daddy)
(He rich)
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time (any time)
(To show) to show you
What you need to live
Tell it to me slowly
(Tell you what)
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
