I always wanted to say that

beLIEve

2009-12-05T12:31:00.003-03:00

lie, believe, a word can be a part of another one, maybe the two words are always together like siameses twins, perhaps when I lie I want the other person believes in me
lie implies secrets, somethings that we don't want to tell
believe is about trust, something we want to say
strange combination of letters, I often make mistakes chosing words, and sometimes I ended up messing it up, a melody would be a better election than the wrong words

"The Fly" talks about secrets, friendship, trust, faith, love
the song is one of my favourites from U2, it has a different sound from they had done until that time, it is a change, an interesting change.
here we can see the evolution of the song, first the original video, which gave the direction for the Zoo Tv tour

The Fly - Original Video - 1991

Here is the live version from Sydney, an amazing performance, and it's the version of the random words, white words, red words, and we can see the mix between lie and believe : beLIEve

The Fly - Live From ZooTV Sydney - 1993

In my opinion, this is the best version I have heard of the song, the intro is incredible, and I think is also the best filmed

The Fly - Live Boston - 2001

In Sao Paulo The Edge had problems with his guitar, so Bono started to improvise with the notes of David Bowie's Jean Genie, after that he asks "where is the fly?"

Everybody Knows

2009-11-28T17:24:00.001-03:00

There are many things that we don´t know, somethings we know from the beginning, there are things that we really want to know, things that could make us happier, or we really want to know something about someone and we are afraid to ask, sometimes we ask and we find an answer that we don´t want to know, how could I know that I am saying the right words? uncertainty is perhaps the best thing we can know.

Someone send me the song originally written by Leonard Cohen called “Everybody Knows”, but I remember well the version made by Concrete Blonde, the group is led by Johnette Napolitano, a great singer who gives her special feeling in this song.

4 am song

Well, Pink didn't win on the last MTV Video Music awards, but if there was a category called "Best song to hear at 4 am", without any doubt "Sober" would be the winner

Roger Waters was right

2009-09-01T21:30:00.002-04:00

I really didn't know who Vera Lynn was, the first time I heard about her was in the song called "Vera" from the 1979 album "The Wall" from the group Pink Floyd, so later I could know that she was a singer from 1940's, the PF song is short and it goes like this

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do ?

well today we know what has become of her, Vera Lynn has entered in the English album charts with her album called "We'll Meet Again - The Very Best of Vera Lynn", this week ending Sept. 5th her album is in the position 20, well, here is the news, and she talks about this experience and the truth that we would meet again some sunny day

In fact, I can't drive, I sold my car, now I just have to walk

pale shelter

2009-05-09T23:21:00.003-04:00

I have heard many times "there is no lie in asking" or something like that, there are times when we need something from someone, and that person is incapable to give it, and we receive cold hands or indifference or we receive a little bit of what we expect, insecurity, waiting, illusion, so we ask for more and more

cry out loud if you want, but with style

2009-05-02T22:28:00.002-04:00

I was walking down the street looking the ads and windows of the stores and in a barber shop I saw a man crying, a few blocks away in a mail office I saw a girl crying, near the gas station I saw a woman crying, I know that people are fragile sometimes, but I was wondering why those people were crying, some days later walking by the same streets I saw the same people crying, anyway it's good to cry for some time for something or someone, but it's out of reason crying always for the same reason, there is a time to move on, after all we have recieved the face to smile

Favourite Darkness

2008-11-27T23:40:00.005-03:00

I have made my own crossroads, I have arrived to a place with differents colors, I wish something that I can't have, I look for something that it's not there, I love something but I can't see it.. it's strange when the steps take us where we don't want to go, it would be easy to walk by the shining path, but for some moments we have to walk by the dark room to find the clear field... I'm hanging on your words living on your breath feeling with your skin Will I always be here?

Depeche Mode - In your Room / Lyrics

Remastered Boy

2008-08-04T13:28:00.002-04:00

I was listening to the remastered version of U2's first album "Boy", this new version brings a second cd with unreleased songs before, single versions and live songs, it's a jewel for the fans, but I wanted to say: what a great album!
many youngs bands would kill to make a first album like this one, perhaps "I will follow" is the most recognizable song of the album, but the others have an extraordinary power, the duo "An Cat Dubh" and "Into The Heart" sound incredible, "Out of Control" could be a hit today without a doubt, "Stories For Boys" has lyrics which are related with "Vertigo" (2004), in "The Ocean" we can hear the sound of the creaking wood of a ship at the sea, finally "A Day Without me" and "The Electric Co." are powerful and they were classic numbers in the early tours of the band, all the songs and the album are good, not masterpices of course, but those songs show us the strength of U2 when they just appeared

no limit for covers

2008-04-09T00:03:00.002-04:00

I really don´t know the true story, but it seems that Björk was at a pub and there was a local singer playing his piano, at one momento Bjork gets up to the stage and talks with the singer and she improvises the song "No limit" from the group 2 Unlimited, the result we can see it the video, I wish I had a pub, I would wait for Bjork to sing any song..

the usual way is that a modern group make its own version of a classic song from a well known group, this, is not the case, R.E.M. more than 25 years in the music, makes an acoustic version of the song "Munich" from the group Editors, great version, this makes me think that both groups will appear together soon in a concert

Ennio madness

2008-03-18T23:13:00.002-03:00

yes, these days will be remembered as the days Ennio Morricone sold 20 thousand tickets for two concerts in about four hours, not even U2 or Rolling Stones, strange things happen in Santiago, well I could not get a ticket, so I will have to watch it on tv, but for now the music from the film "The Mission"

If it helps

2008-03-08T02:49:00.003-03:00

For reasons unknown this song always reminds me of a girl from the university, perhaps at that time I could sing these lyrics to her, unfortunately I couldn't say the right words in front of her, several years after I sent an email telling her about this song and the reminiscences of those days in the classrooms...

Journey around Chile

2008-02-23T20:37:00.002-03:00

After the fall of Steve Perry from Journey ten years ago, I thought the group would take separate ways, but still they ride with different singers, but last year they changed again the singer, Neal Schon did not stop believing and he found on Youtube a singer who made covers of Journey and other groups called Arnel Pineda after some mails Pineda crossed frontiers to join the group and last thursday February 21st at Viña del Mar it was the first performance of Journey with this new singer...
for me it was a great show, the voice is similar to Perry, but Pineda was not just an impersonator, he did a good job and everyone in the crowd were happy, singing, screaming, jumping every song, here it is a video from that night

Why Amy ?

2008-02-11T23:55:00.000-03:00

I try to understand why Amy Winehouse won 5 Grammys on February 10th, I try to imagine what will be the consequences of these prizes, what's next ? die young ? a better second album? many bad albums from now ?
after many times hearing "no,no,no" Amy finally said yes,yes,yes, she's on rehab and she's a Grammy winner, only time will tell if this is the beginnig of a successful carreer or just a spark in the (possibly) short life of Amy Winehouse

here the moment when Amy Winehouse won the Grammy for Record of the Year

I would fall for every trick

2008-01-29T00:58:00.000-03:00

sometimes I was looking for her in the classrooms of my University, there were times when I could see her face, or just her silhouette leaving the room, I would fall for every trick she made, maybe my best trick was just to find an excuse to talk to her..

miles away

2008-01-04T01:14:00.000-03:00

travel on a bus? o fly on a plane? not a difficult decision, if you think in speed vs money, the thing is that my friends are miles away, and I hope I could see them soon to drink something, talk about the weather and smile about nothing, what friends usually do...

I think I will go to Australia

2008-01-01T17:28:00.000-03:00

Yes, it could be my New Year resolution, the right place would be Sydney, last night in the new year fireworks the official broadcast played a song from the Canadian rock group The Arcade Fire called "No Cars Go", my favourite song of 2007, I have to go to Sydney and hear the song under the bridge...

Stuck to a song 1

2007-12-27T18:26:00.000-03:00

Sometimes I just want to listen a song over and over, for hours, yes, I could be crazy, but there are times in my life that I just can´t stop thinking in one song, well today that song is from The Cure "Exploding Boy" is a b-side of "Inbetween days", in the 80's I had heard that song and I liked it, now it appears in the "Join the dots" album and I still like the song

Wish List

If I could make a wish list for someone, I would wish to write in a way that everyone can easily understands me, but I know that some things are hard to get, so I will try to imagine that anyone can understand... while I think in something to talk about, we can listen to Pearl Jam
