SUMMER CAT

Billie The Vision and The Dancers

Banda Sueca formada el 2004 Lars Lindquist: veu i percussió, Silvio Arismendi: percussió i bateria, John Dunsö: guitarra acústica, veu i piano, Alex Thompson: guitarra rítmica, Fia Janninge: percussió, violí i veu, Maria Carlsson: baix, Lisa Haglind: trompeta, acordió i sintenitzador i Gustav Kronkvist: guitarra elèctrica.
Lars Lindquists va haver d’abandonar el seu somni de se jugador professional de futbol quan la seva carrera estava a punt de brillar. Des de llavors va decidir centrar les seves energies en el seu altre somni: la música. Creà el grup Billie The Vision… i un segell discogràfic propi. No són un grup d’una sola cançó, en porten editades 45 en 4 discs.

Summer Cat

Es tracta de la cançó més escoltada l’estiu de 2009. Popularitzada al nostre país arran d’un anunci d’una coneguda marca de cerveses. Summer Cat és una expressió sueca que prové de la gent que se’n va de vacances i compra un gat només per a l’estiu. Quan tornen a la ciutat l’abandonen. La cançó, per tant, no té res a veure amb l’estiu, el Carpe diem i la diversió tal i com mostra l’anunci. Realment és molt trista ja que descriu el dolor de perdre a la persona que estimes.

I kissed you good bye at the airport.
I held you so close to me.
I said ’So here we are now and I can’t stop from crying Lilly’.
And you said ’Hey hey hoo, you know this is the way to go.
You will forget about me when I’m on that plane.
Forget about me when I’m on that plane.’

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

The plane took off and my love went with it.
The chilly wind whipped my both cheeks hard.
And the man next to me said ’Everything is gonna be alright’.
I said ’Nothing is gonna be alright, but thank you anyway’.
And then I saw your face in the airplane window.
I waved my hands and I shouted to you:

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonighttonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

I wore a T-shirt and my worn out hat.
Abandoned as a summer cat.
And as I stood there as a broken hearted I realized you got the car keys still.
So I broke into my own old car.
I fell asleep on the passenger seat.
I dreamed of summer sex with you and you whispered in my ear:

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

Why can’t you leave me tomorrow instead?
And above the clouds she said to her self
I can’t believe how naive a man can be.
That’s why I love you so and that’s why I can’t be with you…’

Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
I wanna be with you tonight

SHUT UP

Black Eyed Peas

Grup  de R&B, Pop i Hip hop de Los Ángeles (EUA) format per Will.I.Am, Apl.de.Ap, Taboo i  Fergie. Will.I.Am y Apl.de.Ap es van conéixer el 1989 i van crear un dúo de soul i hip hop. Al cap d’un temps es va unir Taboo i el 1998 arribà el disc de debut del grup. En aquella època els tres Mc’s rimaven i tenien una banda que els acompanyava. El grup és comparat sovint amb altres bandes com The Roots, Jurassic 5, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul o A tribe Called Quest. Sempre s’han declarat les influenciats per Digable Planets, Stereolab i Portishead. En el tercer disc el trio es transforma en quartet i  s’incorpora la vocalista  Fergie. Fins al moment guanyat 6 premis Grammy i han venut 56 milions de discs. Un grup de plena actualitat i  compromès en les seves lletres. Parla alt sobre les injustícies del món i té un potencial suficient per influir i contagiar al seu públic de valors més positius.

Shut up                                                                                                                        Gran tema inclòs en el disc Elephunk de 2003, el primer àlbum que participa Fergie. Shut up és un bon exemple del que vol aconseguir aquest grup: crear cançons vàlides per la ràdio com pel club o discoteca més moderna de qualsevol lloc unint milers de referències i influències musicals. Aquesta setmana  és una  petició de l’ Eva de 6è que és unes de les seguidores més actives i entusiastes del bloc. Gràcies i…tots a ballar!

Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up

We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy

Girl, me and you were just fine (you know)
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
That’s why I flew you out
When we was on tour
But then something got out of hand
You start yellin when I’m with my friends
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bull shit)
You know I have to make them evidence (bull shit)
How could you trust our private lives girl
That’s why you don’t believe my lies
And quit this lecture

We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy

Why does he know she gotta move so fast
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on takin it slow
So why does it got to be so damn tough
Cuz fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin him the love that you be givin
Changing up your livin
For a lovin transistion
Girl lip so much she tryin to get you to listen
Few mad at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got neighbors across the street sayin
“Who the hell?!?”
Who the hell?
What the hell’s going down?
Too much of the bickering
Kill it with the sound and

We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy

Girl our love is dyin
Why can’t you stop tryin
I never been a quitah
But I do deserve betta
Believe me I will do bad
Let’s forget the past
And let’s start this new plan
Why? Cuz it’s the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream
Girl I know you’re tired of the things they say
You’re damn right
Cuz I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No it ain’t
That was a different thing
No it ain’t
That was a different thing
It was the same damn thing
Same ass excuses
Boy you’re usless
Whhoooaaaa

We try to take it slow
But we’re still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn’t the worst
And I’m craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I’m goin crazy

Stop the talking baby
Or I start walking baby
Is that all there is [x2]
