The Church - Easy

   Seguro que hay quien conoce a The Church, pero cree que la cosa acabó en los '80 o a lo sumo en los '90. Si es así, me alegra comunicaros que la banda sigue en activo a día de hoy y componiendo joyas como esta.
   El disco "Uninvited, Like the Clouds" se publicó en el año 2006 y recuerda mucho a ese grupo de los '80. Atmósferas de guitarra -y mandolina- y la voz cálida de Steve Kilbey...
   Si visitas la página de la banda a través del enlace de abajo, te recomiendo que eches un vistazo a la sección 'Discografía'... cuando serás mía. ;-)
   

 
  The Church   "Easy"

Any day now you'll see me coming rambling down your street at night
In the broad moonlight
Underneath the blooming trees a seasons greeting's beating up the shore
So open up your door

Easy baby
You don't have to say a word
Easy now
You don't have to do a thing

You'll protect me with your arts and it all starts again surrounding me
Inevitably
Hiding in your haven, maybe stark and maybe raving, completely sane
It's just so plain arcane

Easy baby
You don't have to act so hard
Easy now
You don't have to be like that

Any day now you'll hear me ringing, hear me singing down the line
Or just in your mind
You'll embrace me, turn to face me, try to replace me, it will be too late
Now that's all I'll say

Easy baby
It's so hard to walk away
Easy now
It don't have to end like this  

Beethoven - Sonata para piano No.14 en Do Sostenido Menor "Quasi una fantasia", Op.27, No.2 "Claro de Luna"

¿Era Beethoven un 'Heavy'? Ahí lo dejo, que estoy muy vago...
Aquí una versión de la joven guitarrista de 17 años Tina S.

   

Y aquí otra versión, esta vez a cargo de la pianista Valentina Lisitsa.

Adam Young - Project Excelsior

   In 2005, Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada released a music video featuring footage from Joe Kittinger’s famous parachute jump in 1960. That was my introduction to Project Excelsior, a series of high altitude jumps made by Kittinger from the edge of space with the purpose of testing parachute systems intended to be used by pilots ejecting from high altitude. In one of these jumps, Kittinger set world records for the highest parachute jump, the longest drogue fall and the fastest speed by a human through the atmosphere. Reading and daydreaming about Kittinger’s feats have inspired me enormously over the years, and I believe the sense of wonder and awe they instilled in me can be heard in the music I create. This score is the way I imagine the tremendous bravery of one man who ascended to the edge of space, said a prayer, and jumped.
