Approfitto dell'occasione fornitami da DeBaser.it e ringrazio tutti quelli che hanno letto le mie due prime recensioni. Approfitto pure per scrivere l'ultima recensione dell'anno 2004, un'anno passato nel segno del pop, musicalmente parlando, almeno per quanto mi riguarda [ma va?]. Approfitto pure per ringraziare il Ns. Presidente del Consiglio, per il duro lavoro che fa per noi, ma che ci ha riportato fra i primi sei paesi industrializzati del mondo (eravamo il quinto), il chè ci riempie di orgoglio. Infine approfitto nuovamente per ringraziare DeBaser ed i loro gestori, per lo spazio gentilmente concessoMi.
Come dicevo all'inizio scriverò ora l'ultima recensione del 2004 e scegliere un disco appropriato è un'impresa molto difficile se non ardua. Ci ho pensato a lungo ed ho scelto un disco molto speciale, il primo disco cantato in inglese dalla Regina del Pop Latino Colombiano: Shakira!
I precedenti erano cantati in spagnolo e avevano riscosso un grandissimo successo in tutta l'area latino-americana, facendoLe raggiungere una popolarità simile a quella di Jennifer Lopez, di cui in parte ricalca il modo di cantare e di esprimersi.
Ma veniamo ai contenuti: questo disco contiene la famosissima canzone "Whenever Wherever" (sì, quella del video), ma anche altre bellissime canzoni, come quella di apertura cd, "Objection (Tango)", oppure "Fool", "Te Dejo Madrid" e l'ironica "Poem To a Horse", che ci dice che Shakira oltre ad essere bellissima e a ballare come (quasi) nessun'altra è anche molto ironica. La produzione è sempre curatissima.
Un disco bellissimo, 5***** da avere assolutamente. E ancora tantissimi auguri di buon 2005 a tutti.

01 Objection (Tango) (03:44)
It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead.
No-o Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away
Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about.
So objection, I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Attention the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, no no no no.
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here......
This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Oh don't you count on me boy
Objection I don't want to be exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away.
Get away.. get away hey hey hey get away
Uh huh uh huh hooooooo
uh huh uh huh... Uh huh oooooo
Oh Im falling apart in Your hands again.
get away hey hey hey.
Im falling apart in your hands again.
Get away...... Get away
02 Underneath Your Clothes (03:45)
You're a song, written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong, 'cause this might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place where all my thoughts go hiding
Right under your clothes is where I'll find them
Underneath your clothes there's an endless story
There's the man I chose, there's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl, honey
'Cause of you, I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone, when the party's over
We will still belong to each other
Underneath your clothes there's an endless story
There's the man I chose, there's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl, honey
Underneath your clothes there's an endless story
There's the man I chose, there's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl
For being such a hey, hey, hey, hey
I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true, Oh babe it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence, lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lady tied to her manners, I'm tied up to this feel...
Underneath your clothes there's an endless story
There's the man I chose, there's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl, honey
Underneath your clothes, ah wha ho oh woah
There's the man I chose, there's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl
For being such a good girl...
03 Whenever, Wherever (03:16)
Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes soley
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody
Le do lo le lo le.. le do lo le lo le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
and that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes are for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
Le do lo le lo le... le do lo le lo le...
At your feet...I'm at your feet
Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
And that's the deal my dear
Le do lo le lo le... le do lo le lo le
think out loud, say it again
Le do lo le lo le lo le
Tell me one more time
That your there
Lost in my eyes.
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together...
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I think
04 Rules (03:40)
You have to swear
You've got love to love me
Aah aah
That will last forever
Aah aah
We must have a story
Aah aah
With a happy ending
Aah, so don't ever go away
And never put aside
The things I'm gonna say
Cause these are rules for us
Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always be
You used to say
I should see a doctor
Aah aah
Who would keep me busy
Aah aah
Cause a jealous woman
Never makes it easy
Aah aah,
And you know I'll do for us
Whatever seems right
But it may take awhile
Before I change the rules
Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always were...
Aah, aah, aah...
So,
Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always be
Aah, aah...
05 The One (03:43)
So I find a reason to shave my legs
Each single morning
So I count on someone
Friday nights to take me dancing
And then to church on Sundays
To plant more dreams
And some day think of kids
Or maybe just to save a little money
CHORUS:
You're the one I need
The way back home is always long
But if you're close to me
I'm holding on
You're the one I need
My real life has just begun
Cause there's nothing like
Your smile made of sun
In a world full of strangers
You're the one I know
So I learn to cook
And finally lose my kitchen phobia
So I've got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a muse
that brings insomnia
To buy more thongs,
And write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone
CHORUS 2 times
You're the one I need
You're the one I need
With you my real life has just begun
You're the one I need
You're the one I need
Nothing like your smile made of sun
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
Nothing like your love
06 Ready for the Good Times (04:14)
I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Don't make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here I am with eight more lives
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Now that I'm not alone
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You know it
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
You better not
Ignore it
I don't wanna look at fashion magazines
While someone does my nails
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail
Cause, everyday there's a war to fight
And if I win or lose, nevermind
As long as you're my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you won't be gone
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
I'm ready for the good times
I'm ready for the good times
Now that I'm not alone
Cause, everyday there's a war to fight
And if I win or lose, nevermind
As long as you're my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you won't be gone
Ahhhh ha ha ha ha ha e.t.c
07 Fool (03:51)
Tell me lies, slap me on the face, just...
Improvise, do something really clever,
That'll make me hater your name forever
You might swear, you'd never touch a lady
Well, let me say, you're not too far from maybe
Everyday you find new ways to hurt me
[Chorus]
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, fool
God resigned from hearing my old story
Every night, I'm paying hell for glory
I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry
All this pain, begins to feel like pleasure
With my tears, you'd make a sea a desert
Salt my wounds, and I'll keep saying thank you
But I can't help it if I'm just a fool
Always having my heart set on you
'Till the time you start changing the rules
I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Ahh, fool
08 Te dejo Madrid (03:07)
Si, ya es hora de esconder
del mundo el dolor.....bajo la piel
Yo se que estare bien
los gatos como yo.....caen de pie
No quiero colgar mi suerte
por ti no puedo
donde peque�a vivi donde estare de aqui
Muy muy lejos
Ay me voy otra vez
ay te dejo madrid
tus rutinas de piel y tus ganas de huir
yo no quiero cobardes que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios a tu boca de anis
Si, ya es hora de limpiar
las manchas de miel.... sobre el mantel
yo nunca supe actuar
mis labios se ven..... muertos de sed
No quiero dejarlo todo al azar
entiendo que eh comenzado a estorbar
pronto estarde de ti muy muy lejos
Ay me voy otra vez
ay te dejo madrid
tus rutinas de piel y tus ganas de huir
yo no quiero cobardes que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios a tu boca de anis
Ay me voy otra vez
ay te dejo madrid
tus rutinas de piel y tus ganas de huir
yo no quiero cobardes que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios a tu boca de...
Ay me voy otra vez
ay te dejo madrid
tus rutinas de piel y tus ganas de huir
yo no quiero cobardes que me hagan sufrir
mejor le digo adios a tu boca de anis
ayy te dejo madridd, madridd
a tu boca de anis
a tu boca de anis
09 Poem to a Horse (04:09)
You're too far to bring you close
And too high to see below
Just hangin' on your daily dose
I know you never needed anyone
But the rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you don't have
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain
With your hydroponic pot
Start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way
I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more
I rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab in New York
'Cause to talk to you is harder work
So what's the point of wasting all my words
If it's just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain
With your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like you
'Cause there's a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've other things to do
I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more
I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain
But you're so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I won't repeat it no more
