The All American Rejects - Back to me

Debo reconocerlo, he pecado... me sigue gustando "The All American Rejects". Parecen no querer cambiar su fórmula de power pop pegajoso, no son ambiciosos con las letras, y son una banda para adolescentes; pero a fuerza de melodías pegajosas se han ganado un lugar en mi lista (otra vez)
Voy a permitirme robar algunas frases de la reseña del blog otrastardes:
"Con When the World Comes Down, este cuarteto de Oklahoma parece no querer oír nada sobre aquello que llaman “perspectivas mayores”, o “maduración de estilo”
No esperen más profundidad en estas doce canciones, que las que pueden tener dos púberes haciendo alarde de su currículo amoroso. De hecho la banda parece más esmerada en la elaboración y campaña de lanzamiento de sus videos en los que Tyson Ritter siempre luce más con vocación histriónica que otra cosa. Pero dentro de sus limitaciones no puedo dejar de reconocer un acabado instrumental un tanto más interesante (no menos se puede esperar teniendo a zorro como Eric Valentine en la producción)."

Así y todo, no puedo evitar escucharlo. Con temas como "Gives you hell", "Mona Lisa" "Another heart calls", "Fallin Apart" y la que aquí les dejo "Back to me", suman otras canciones que sirven como instructivo para el que quiera que su tema suene en la radio; la misma receta con la que crearon temas como "It ends tonight", "Move Along" o "Dirty Little Secret" en su disco anterior.

Back to me

Hey you
So you never really found your way
Stay true
Did you ever make it through today

I know that when I think about a day without it
Everyday’s the same
You wish that you could find someone
But I’m the only one to blame

(chorus) Can’t you see I beg and plead
Cause when your eyes light up the skies at night

I know you’re gonna find your way back to me


No don’t
Don’t you ever let a piece of me down
Cause time won’t
Get back when I’m never around

When we live between so many walls
That I can barely breathe
You say that you just want someone
But I’m the only one you need

(chorus) Can’t you see I Beg and plead
Cause when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know you’re gonna find your way

If it’s me
That you don’t need
When the lights go out tonight I know
You’re never gonna find your way

Soon when I get you I won’t let you go
Oooh if I let you
You can take away all that I thought was wrong
And if you hear me there’s not much to say
There’s gotta be a better way

(chorus)
Can’t you see I beg and plead
Cause when your eyes light up the sky tonight

I know you’re going to find your way back to me


Can’t you see
I beg and plead
Cause when the lights go out tonight

I know you’re never gonna find your way

If it’s me
That you don’t need
That when the lights go out tonight
I know you’re never gonna find your way
If you pace around the world?
And when your eyes light up the skies at night
I know you’re gonna find your way back to me

Group1Crew - Forgive me

Hasta ahora venía siendo bastante "conservador" con el draft de canciones, así que hoy voy a intentar arriesgar un poco más... Nunca fui un gran fanático del rap o hip-hop o como se llame; pero por alguna extraña razón, este tema de Group1Crew una banda de "rap católico" (si gente, existe algo así) me tiene muy enganchado. Si tengo que decir 2 cosas que me gustan son la parte que canta Blanca (la chica) y el latiguillo de "God please" que utiliza Pablo el cual me hace sentir un rapero y un predicador de iglesia gospel al mismo tiempo.
Group 1 Crew esta formado por Blanca, voz líder, Pablo y Manwell, dos talentosos emcees que crean los escenarios musicales llenos de contagioso ritmo pop urbano con una interesante variante latina. Es así que en su música se ven fusionados el hip-hop, dance, pop, urban, funk, R&B y latino. El trabajo es un viaje súper versátil...

Forgive me

Father, I'm going through some heavy things
It seems like this world ain't getting any better
The more we try to get closer to You
The farther we run from Your throne

I've spent so many nights wonderin' when will it end
When will the day come when happiness begins
I'm running the race but it seems too hard to win
I'm sick of mourning my stomach is throwing up in the morning

I'm calling for help and watching it melt away
My heart's been put on display and put away
In many ways, many times I told myself it was ok
And anger was the price that was paid
While these faded dreams just screamed to bring them home

The burden was too heavy I kept running from the throne
I can't take it any longer
I can taste my spirit hunger
God please help me get home

[Chorus:] Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I'm not scared cause You're holding my breath

I only fear that I don't have enough time left
To tell the world that there's no time left,
God please
Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I'm not scared cause You're holding my breath

I only fear that I don't have enough time left
To tell the world that there's no time left


I've come to terms that I'm burning both sides of the rope
And I'm hoping that self-control would kick in before I'm choking off
The sin that be destroying every fiber I got
I need the Lord in every way I'll never make it I'm not
Going back to the way I was before Christ in my life
I couldn't do it I would lose it there's no point to the fight
And I'm writing this song, for the people who don't belong
I pray away the pain you feel from all the things that went wrong
Inside a life that's filled with anger and disappointment
Cause daddy treated you weaker than all of the other kids
It's annoying and I feel for all of you who wanna give up
You feel stuck I feel the same way Lord help us stay up
You couldn't pay me to abandon the idea of true hope
That I could make it through this life into a place where there's no crying
I'm dying to find You with open arms when I go
Knowing You love me and You waiting to give rest to my soul

Lord I don't know what I'm struggling for
There's go to be more
Than this life I know
But still I'm here fighting to never give up
I find strength in Your love
And You will see me through
