I could not forget you when you're Rosary Blue

"Rosay Blue" - The 69 Eyes feat. Kat Von D

I'm under the water just listening
I've been on the fast line 'til you came in
But now things are different, it's all upside down
And I'm all around
I'm trying to go back and turn it around
Oh, I could not forget you
I could not forget you
I could not forget you when you're Rosary Blue
I could not forget you
I could not forget you
I could not forget you, you're Rosary Blue
I'm trying to forgive you
God, I'm lonely here if that's what you're hoping
I've been the last one since the world began
But now things are different, it's all upside down
And I'm all around
I'm trying to reach that and turn it around
Oh, I could not forget you
I could not forget you
I could not forget you when you're Rosary Blue
I could not forget you
I could not forget you
I could not forget you, you're Rosary Blue
I tried to show you
I tried to convince you
But no words can ever tell you
Rosary Blue
I tried to forget you
I tried to forgive you
But the words could never tell you
How much I still miss you
How much I still miss you
No one could ever tell you
How much I still miss you
My Rosary Blue
My Rosary Blue
How much I still miss you
You're Rosary Blue
How Much I still miss you
Rosary Blue

Octavo aniversario

Hoy Happy Demon cumple ocho años ;-) Y quiero volver a compartir la entrada que le dediqué cuando cumplió cinco meses: pinchen aquí para leerla :)

En ocho años han ocurrido demasiadas cosas y aún me dá pánico saber que tengo la responsabilidad de un proyecto de personita. Que de su padre y de mí dependerá en qué clase de ser humano se convierta.

Siempre le he dedicado el tema Wild Hearted Son de The Cult pero ahora también le dedicamos Simple Man de Lynyrd Skynyrd :)

Mama told me ... when I was young

Sit beside me ... my only son
And listen closely ... to what I say
And if you do this ... it'll help you some sunny day
Ah, yes
Oh, take your time
Don't live too fast
Troubles will come ... and they will pass
Go find a woman ... and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be somethin' ... you love and understand
Baby, be a simple ... kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can
Forget your lust ... for the rich man's gold
All that you need ... is in your soul
You can do this ... if you try
All that I want for you my son ... is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh Be somethin' ... you love and understand
Baby, be a simple ... kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can
Oh, yes, I will
Oh, be a simple man
Oh, don't you worry... you'll find yourself
Follow your heart ... and nothin' else
And you can do this ... oh, baby ... if you try
All that I want for you my son ... is to be satisfied

And Be a simple ... kind of man
Oh, be somethin' ... you love and understand
Baby, be a simple ...Kind of Man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can
Baby, be a simple ... be a simple man
Oh, be somethin'....you love and understand
Baby, be a simple ... Kind of Man

I'm a black sheep

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7aNKstBCM4

"Black Sheep" - Gin Wigmore

[Backing Vocals:]
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1:]
I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my old mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I

[Chorus:]
I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep

[Verse 2:]
I wasn't born a beauty queen but I'm okay with that
Maybe radio won't mind if I sing a little flat
I wear my boots to bed, hang a cross up on the wall
To save me from a shallow grave that wants to take us all

[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I

[Chorus:]
I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep

[Repeat Verse 1:]
I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my old mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

[Chorus:]
I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back

[Outro:]
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back

Pues eso... Que las chicas buenas van la cielo y las malas a donde se les antoja :D

Una vez que pruebas el lado oscuro, ir por la izquierda, huir del rebaño y vivir a tu aire, jamás vuelves a ser la misma.

Cuatro décadas más uno intentando, probando y logrando llevarlo a cabo... Quizá aún me quedan otras tantas más ;-)

Dark lady played black magic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqZW0VH9XZU

"Dark Lady" - Cher

The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat were scratches
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
CHORUS:
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
Till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
Than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words
That were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card
Still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

Chorus
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled it once in my own room
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

Chorus

She's dressed in black again

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1JAwLrQy9k

"Dressed in black again" - Depeche Mode

She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm begging for more again
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black
My mind wanders endlessly
On paths where she's leading me
With games that she likes to play
And words that she doesn't say
Not when we're alone
And she's dressed in black
As a picture of herself
She's a picture of the world
A reflection of you
A reflection of me
And it's all there to see
If you only give in
To the fire within
Dressed in black again
Shadows fall onto me
And she stands there over me
And waits to encompass me
I lay here helplessly
But oh what can you do
When she's dressed in black
Dressed in black again

Sorcerer

"Sorcerer"- Stevie Nicks

I'm tired
I'm thirsty
I'm wild-eyed
In my misery
Timeless
In your finery
It's a high price
For your luxury
Sorcerer
Who is the master
Man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer
Show me the high life
Come over
Let me put you on ice
All around
Black ink darkness
Who found
The lady from the mountain
The lady from the mountain
I'm tired
I need you badly
I'm wild-eyed
In my misery
Timeless
In your finery
It's a high price
For your luxury
Sorcerer
Who is the master
Man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer
Show me the high life
Come over
Let me put you on ice
All around
Black ink darkness
Who found
The lady from the mountain
All around
Black ink darkness
Who found
The lady from the mountain
The lady from the mountain
Oo won't you tell me who found
Lady from the mountain
Oo why you tell me who found
Wild-eyed in my mysery
Tired
Thirsty

I don't believe in God but I pray for you

"Faraway Vol.2" - Apocalyptica feat. Linda Sundblad


There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
I don't believe in God
But I pray for you

Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love

There is something in the way
You're always somewhere else
Feelings have deserted me
To a point of no return
So the light fades out
And you're so close to lose it

Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live for
Don't you leave no
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love

Don't you slip away from me
It's you I live my life for
Don't you slip away from me
I'm vulnerable to your love
Don't you slip away

From my burning love

"Brennende Liebe" - Oomph feat. L'Âme Immortelle

 Wie viele Nächte lang hab ich in dir gewohnt?
Wie viele Träume lang hat mich dein Schmerz belohnt?
Wie viele Nächte lang hast du dich schon verlorn?
Wie viele Träume lang hab ich dich neu geborn?

Von meiner brennende Liebe
kann dich kein Dämon erlösen
Von meiner brennende Liebe
kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

Wie viele Nächte lang hab ich dich heimgesucht?
Wie viele Träume lang hast du mich schon verflucht?
Wie viele Nächte lang hab ich von dir gezährt?
Wie viele Träume lang hat mich dein herz ernährt?

Von meiner brennende Liebe
kann dich kein Dämon erlösen
Von meiner brennende Liebe
kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

Von meiner brennende Liebe
(Wie viele Nächte lang)
kann dich kein Dämon erlösen
(Wie viele Träume)
Von meiner brennende Liebe
(Wie viele Nächte lang)
kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

Komm und verbrenn dir deine Haut
Vergeude den Schmerz tief in dir
Komm und verbrenn dir deine Haut

Von meiner brennende Liebe
kann dich kein Dämon erlösen
Von meiner brennende Liebe
kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

Von meiner brennende Liebe
(Wie viele Nächte lang)
kann dich kein Dämon erlösen
(Wie viele Träume)
Von meiner brennende Liebe
(Wie viele Nächte lang)
kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

Kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

Burning love

How many nights have I live inside you?
How many dreams has your pain rewarded me?
How many night have you already lost yourself?
How many dreams have I given a new birth to you?

From my burning love
No demon can save you
From my burning love
No God or miracle can free you anymore

How many nights have I haunted you?
How many dreams long have you already curse me?
How many nights have I already lived off you?
How many dreams long has you heart nourished me?

From my burning love
No demon can save you
From my burning love
No God or miracle can free you anymore

From my burning love
(How many nights long)
No demon can save you
(How many dreams)
From my burning love
(How many nights long)
No God or miracle can free you anymore

Come and burn your skin
Waste the pain deep inside yourself
Come and burn your skin

 Frankestein, la imagen perfecta del monstruo, la total crítica sobre la insistencia del hombre en compararse con los dioses y crear vida desde la misma muerte, no es uno de mis personajes favoritos, lo siento. A pesar de que hay un punto de identificación y de atracción sobre esa imagen del monstruo que es rechazado por ser diferente, por no ser como los demás, porque su naturaleza no es humana a pesar de haber sido creado con restos humanos.

Y a estas alturas de la historia, del mundo, en plena lectura del Moderno Prometeo, es difícil alejar de nuestras mentes la imagen de aquel monstruo made by la productora de cine Universal de piel color verde chillón (que no vemos en la peli de 1931 debido a su tonalidad blanco y negro), con tornillos en el cuello, cabeza cuadrada y altura extrema. Boris Karloff acude a nuestra memoria y quizá nos susurra una de sus declaraciones que han pasado a la historia del mundo del celuloide: El Monstruo ha sido el mejor amigo que he tenido nunca. Algo normal si consideramos que este actor londinense, cuyo nombre verdadero era William Henry Pratt, pasó a la inmortalidad gracias a su interpretación de Frankestein y a su paciencia de soportar largas, muy largas horas de maquillaje :P

Se cuenta que la Universal quería que Bela Lugosi encarnara al Monstruo. Pero el actor se negó porque era un personaje que apenas hablaba y exigía un maquillaje muy agresivo (también se cuenta que leyó otra versión del guión). Aunque sí participó en las continuaciones de 1939 y la de 1943 donde fue Ygor.

Hace algunos años que descubrí a la banda alemana llamada Oomph (bueno, trío, jejeje) y he de reconocer que la mayoría de sus videos son geniales, con fotografía estupenda y guiones que capturan la atención desde los primeros instantes. Brennende Liebe es uno de los que más me gustan, porque si bien recurren a la historia del típico Frankestein, lo plantean desde la perspectiva de la secuela donde ya se crea a la Novia. Sin embargo, se da una vuelta de tuerca que difiere por completo del final de la peli ;-)
