The Doors - Break On Through (To The Other Side)

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She gets, she gets
She gets, she gets

I found an island in your arms
A country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lied
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side

Made the scene from week to week
Day to day, hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, break on through
Break on through, break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Break On Through (To The Other Side) - The Doors

Estaba hace algunos dias el televisor encendido, y estaban dando un programa, seguramente sin mucha importancia por ahora ni siquiera lo recuerdo. La cosa es que en un momento paso mi padre cerca del televisor, justo cuando de fondo se escucha a The Doors. Entonces él dijo:

-¡Que buena es esta canción! Y es como tan sencilla, pero a la vez tan buena.

Y me quede pensando en ello. Al final, cada uno puede elaborar su propia respuesta de por qué la canción es buena. Hasta quizas para alguien ni es buena. Pero bueno, para mi un gran factor en esta canción, y practicamente en todas las canciones de The Doors es simplemente Jim Morrison.

Esta fue una de las tantas canciones que singnificaron para mi un amor a segunda o quizas a tercera vista. Hubo un tiempo que pasaban el video casi todos los dias por la televisión, y me aburria tanto, sin embargo lo curioso es que me lo quedaba viendo por alguna extraña razón. Y quizas la razón era Jim Morrison y yo aun no me daba cuenta.
Era porque jamás habia escuchado una voz como esa, y justamente estaba en mi despertar musical, descubiendo nuevos estilos y todo eso (nuevas estilos para mi, pero en realidad deberia decirse "viejos estilos").

La cosa es que la canción es como si me envolviera. Es parte de esas imagenes sicodélicas a finales de los 60'. Es como si el humo del cigarro perdiera su amargura y se convirtiera en colores, en buenas sensaciones. Esa canción es la bohemia misma. Y los teclados como ayudan.
Es para escucharla con los ojos cerrados.

Guns N' Roses - Street of Dreams

All the love in the world couldn't save you or the innocence inside You know I tried so hard to make you To make you change your mind

And it hurts too much to see you and how you left yourself behind You know I wouldnt want to be you Now thats a hell I cant describe

So now I wander through my daze And try to find my ways To the feelings that I felt I saved for you and no one else

And though as long as this road seems I know its called the street of dreams But thats not stardust on my feet it leaves a taste thats bittersweet thats called the blues

I dont know Just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you

Although its what we planned this much is true What I thought was beautiful Dont live inside of you Anymore

I dont know just what I should do everywhere I go I see you although Its what we planned this much is true What I thought was beautiful Dont live inside of you Anymore

What this means to me is more than I know you'll believe What I thought of you now has cost more than it should for me What I thought was true before were lies I couldn't see What I thought was beautiful was only memories
