MM: 'Change', de Lisa Stansfield

De nuevo ¡Miércoles! Mitad de semana (al menos laboral) y, de nuevo, MM: MIÉRCOLES MUSICAL.

Hoy me ha dado por recuperar una cantante que, aunque cuando salió esta canción era yo pequeñaja (8 añitos aprox.), no deja de gustarme esa época musical.

Y recuerda, si te apetece desestresarte cantando... ¡Dale al PLAY y canta, que la letra está abajo!

'Change' de Lisa Stansfield

LETRA:

If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn't change a single thing
'Cos if I change my world into another place
I wouldn't see your smiling face

Honey don't you worry, there's nothin' to worry for
'Cos if I didn't love you I wouldn't be here now
And if I didn't want you I would have turned around by now

You've got to believe me babe, believe that I love you so
'Cos if I didn't love you I would have turned around
And if I didn't want you, then I would want you out

This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love

If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn't change a single thing
'Cos if I change my world into another place
I wouldn't see your smiling face

Believing is the answer, the answer to all your fears
When I first said I loved you, I went in for the kill
Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will

This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love

If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn't change a single thing
'Cos if I change my world into another place
I wouldn't see your smiling face

This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I'll never give you up
'Cos I'll always want your love

If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn't change a single thing
'Cos if I change my world into another place
I wouldn't see your smiling face

WHAT ABOUT LISA STANSFIELD?

Por si es alguien desconocida para ti, aquí tienes algunos datos, cortesía de la gran Wikipedia:

Lisa Jane Stansfield (Mánchester, 11 de abril de 1966), es una cantante inglesa de pop independiente, centrada en un público adulto y sofisticado, con aproximaciones constantes a la música dance y de club.

Antes de iniciar su carrera en solitario, fue la vocalista del grupo The Blue Zone con éxitos como "Jackie" o "Big thing" y posteriormente colaboró en el disco de Coldcut,con el sencillo People Hold On" en 1988. Entró de lleno en la popularidad con Affection en 1989, disco de platino con más de 5.000.000 de copias vendidas que incluía sus éxitos "All Around the World" (Mejor canción internacional del año) y "This is the right time". Tanto este disco como el siguiente, Real Love, están fuertemente influenciados por el sonido disco y Motown de los años 70 de Barry White (arreglos, ritmo e, incluso, la técnica de Stansfield). En 1992 actuó en el Tributo a Freddie Mercury junto con los miembros supervivientes de Queen interpretando "I Want to Break Free" y "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" (esta última junto a George Michael). En 1991 y 1992, Lisa gana el premio Brit como mejor artista femenina británica. Al año siguiente edita exclusivamente en Europa su tercer trabajo So Natural con temas como "Little Bit of Heaven" o "In All the Right Places" (éste último incluido en la banda sonora del film "Indecent Proposal" protagonizado por Robert Redford y Demi Moore).

Image via WikipediaTras un retiro prolongado, regresó en 1997 con un Lp titulado como su nombre, Lisa Stansfield, obteniendo de nuevo un gran éxito con temas como "The real thing", un cover de Barry White, "Never, never gonna give you up" y una remezcla de su antiguo éxito con Coldcut "People hold on". Con este trabajo alcanza el nº2 en la lista de ventas inglesas.

En 1998 se casa con Ian Devaney, guitarrista, teclista y productor, ex-componente de Blue Zone. Al año siguiente participa como actriz y en la banda sonora de la comedia Swing. Ya en 2001 da un cambio a su sonido y estilo, actualizando su música y edita Face up, con temas como "Let's just call it love" o "8-3-1", utilizando con sutileza efectos y sonidos más electrónicos acompañando su ya peculiar voz negra y sus acompañamientos vocales de segundo plano. Pese a ello, solo consigue colocarse en la posición 38 en la lista de ventas británica.

En 2003 y con aromas de despedida, su discográfica de siempre, BMG Ariola, edita Lisa Stansfield: Biography, the greatest hits, un CD con sus mejores temas y un segundo CD especial de remezclas que consigue llegar al número 3 de ventas en Inglaterra. Ese mismo año rompe su relación con BMG/Ariola y ficha por el sello británico ZTT y saca al mercado su 6º álbum de estudio The Moment, en el año 2004. Destacan temas como "Treat Me Like a Woman" y "If I Hadn't Got You", producidos por Trevor Horn, conocido por sus trabajos con Paul McCartney, Seal, Frankie Goes to Hollywood y Grace Jones. Esta vez Lisa apuesta por un estilo más sencillo, acercándose a un sonido más pop y acústico.

En 2005, Lisa Stansfield logra ganar el premio "Women's World Award" en la categoría de arte.

'Where you at', Jennifer Hudson

Una hermosa canción, y una nueva Jennifer Hudson, ¡más guapa aun! Vaya cambio ha dado, aunque su voz sigue siendo preciosa :-)

LETRA:

You said when the storm came
That you would be there with your umbrella to block the rain
And you said you'd protect me
From heartache, pain, lies, loneliness, and misery
You said you'd tear down the walls that were in my way
You promised things would be okay
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed

Image via WikipediaWhere you at? Oh, where you at? Oh,where you at?
Boy you say would be here for me
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)

Now you said you go to church
Stop slanging, find a real job, and go to work
And you say you stay out of the streets
And spend more time with me
Take away my doubts and fears and fulfill my dreams
You said you'd be that shoulder for my eyes to cry on
Said you would be that one that I could depend on
And I stood there in the freezing cold
And I waited for you, but you never showed

Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at?
Boy you say would be here for me
Where you at? (Where)
Where you at? (Where you at?)

Where you at? (Where you at?)

And oh false promises is much like fake named
You painted a picture for me but there was no frame
You made my future look bright and I believed every word
I went to sleep on the clouds and woke up in the dirt
And now I'm without shelter and the wind is blowing
You say you'd be there for me boy when the tough got going
Said if weapons draw, you'd stand in front of me
Whenever I fell trapped, said you'd be the one to set me free
Thought you were my hero
But as it turns out you a no show
Tell me where

Where you at? ( you at?)
Where you at? (Where you at babe?)
Where you at?
Oh you said would be there for me
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Where you at? (Baby where you at?)
Where you at?
You said you'd be right there for me
Where you at? (And i cant)
Where you at? (See)
Where you at? (See, See)
Where you at? (See)
Where you at?
You'd said you'd be right there for me

'Cry, cry, cry', de Oceana

Todo un descubrimiento durante una comida solitaria...

Espero que te guste :-D (la letra abajo)

Oceana, 'Cry, cry, cry'

LETRA:Image via Wikipedia

When she was a young girl
She used to play with me
I was her best friend
We were inseparately
We loved to ride our bikes
Playin’ hide and seek
Sneaking all the night
Dancing in the street
I look back at the time
Now i realise
She loved to play with fire
I should have seen it in her eyes
I should have seen it in her eyes
Deep inside, you cry cry cry
Don’t let your hopes,die die die
Deep inside, you cry cry cry
Don’t let your hopes,die die die
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na
She fell in love for the first time
He was older than her
Then he made her do things
First she wouldn’t tell
She left everything behind
Couldn’t find a place
Running through the night
Loosing all her faith
She throws away the pain
Turning off her lies
But still she makes it seem like everything’s alright
Like everything’s alright
Deep inside, you cry cry cry
Don’t let your hopes,die die die
Deep inside, you cry cry cry
Don’t let your hopes,die die die...

AWKWARD, de Craig David

Una buena canción, "Awkward" de Craig David, que tiene ese estilillo soul que tanto me gusta :-)

LETRA:

Awkward (Awkward), Awkward (Awkward)
Awkward (Awkward), Awkward (Awkward)
Awkward (Awkward), Awkward (Awkward)
Awkward (Awkward), Awkward (Awkward)

Awkward you, awkward me
Awkward after all this time
A chance to meet on the street
So crowded with hustla's and dreams
And it's even more awkward seeing you wearing that ring

And I, can't say what happened, can't say when
I never thought that I get to see you again
I got plently more *** for the **** I been through
And I really can't believe it, Is that really you?

And it's killing me to see you again
And not can't help but wonder,
If you really be with him for the long run
What have I done?

Must have been outta my mind
When I let you go
Think about you all of the time
Gotta let you know (Hmm)
Must have been outta my mind
When I let you go (Aw Baby)
Think about you all of the time
Gotta let you know
You know

Awkward (Awkward), Awkward (Awkward)
Awkward (Awkward), Awkward (Awkward)

Awkward and I, seem to feel like it's all a,
Case of deja-vu, But I perfer to call it karma
Cause yous the one whos breaking your heart
And after so much drama now its me that falling apart

And girl its kiling me
Find it so hard to breathe
Thought the grass was greener
But now i'd give anything to have yo alone now
Just tell me how

Must have been outta my mind
When I let you go (Oh yeah)
Think about you all of the time
Gotta let you know (Hmm)
Must have been outta my mind
When I let you go
Think about you all of the time (Baby think about you all of the time)
Gotta let you know (Oh gotta let you go baby)
You know

I was waiting for your love, you can only wait so long
I was hoping and praying you would see what was going on
Now we're standing here with open hearts
And im chained inside my world
No you lost me boy and you can't change that, its obviously clear

You must have been outta your mind
When you let me go (mmm)
I think about you all of the time
Gotta let you know
I must have been outta my mind (You must have been outta your mind)
When I let you go (When you let me go)
I think about you all of the time
Gotta let you know (Gotta let me know)

Oh, I must have been outta your mind (Outta your mind)
When I let you go
I think about you all of the time
Gotta let you know (Gotta let me know)
