Tinariwen - Tenere Taqhim Tossam (2011)



Οι Tinariwen συνεργάζονται στο νέο τους άλμπουμ με τους Tunde Adebimpe και Kyp Malone των TV On The Radio και τον Nels Cline των Wilco. Η ιδέα είναι, όπως φαίνεται με αυτές τις συνεργασίες, να εντυπωσιάσουν την ανεξάρτητη σκηνή.

Laid Back - Sunshine Reggae (1983)



Gimme gimme, gimme just a little smile
That's all I ask of you
Gimme gimme, gimme just a little smile
We got a message for you

Sunshine, sunshine reggae
Don't worry, don't hurry, take it easy
Sunshine, sunshine reggae
Let the good vibes get a lot stronger

Johnny Otis/Marci Lee - Castin' My Spell (1959)



I took a black cat, a cave bat, and threw them in a pot pot,
pot pot, pot pot
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot,
knot knot, knot knot
I took a hog jaw, a dog's paw, and hung them on the line line,
line line, line line
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign,
sign sign, sign sign

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

I took a goat's tooth, an old shoe, and put them in the ground ground,
ground ground, ground ground
I took an old dish, a dry fish, and made a crazy sound sound,
sound sound, sound sound
I took a goose egg, a frog leg, and hid them in a sack sack,
sack sack, sack sack
I got a Hindu, to tattoo, a genii on my back back,
back back, back back

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

I took a black cat, a cave bat, and threw them in a pot pot,
pot pot, pot pot
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot,
knot knot, knot knot
I took a hog jaw, a dogs paw, and hung them on the line line,
line line, line line
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign,
sign sign, sign sign

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue
You'll never never be untrue.

Marc Almond/Gene Pitney - Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart (1988)



Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown
In a world that was war
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
(And) made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my da-a-a-a-a-a-ays

(I wanna tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you

I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making my heart sing, oh yeah
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour (yeah) every day (yeah)
You touch me and my mind goes astray (yeah)
And baby (yeah), and baby (yeah)

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land, yeah
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me apart, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war
(In a world that was war)
I once lived in a time
That was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you! You! You!
You came my way
(But then you came my way)

And a feeling I know
Shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights
And all of my da-a-a-a-a-a-ays

(I wanna tell you now)
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart, yeah
Something's invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you.
