The Sound of the City de David London

Erase una vez hace muchos años... la música disco, y entre ese mundo en apariencia feliz y lleno de baile, destacaban Village People, que empezando los 80's fueron considerados lo suficientemente importantes como para protagonizar una pelicula, "Can't stop the music" y en este film del que pocos se acuerdan, habia una canción al principio que aún menos recuerdan.

The Sound of the City de David London, a continuación casi diez minutos de esta pelicula con subtitulos en español...



My time is now...


Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the sound of the town
New York is the city of cities, New York is still wearing the crown
Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the people I love
Everyone is speaking your language, New York speaks in your native tongue

New York (New York) - we're skatin' down Broadway
At midnight or midday - we do our own thing
New York (New York) - a city with gusto
New York is a big show - it's what's happening

Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the cars on the street
New York is the fans of the Yankees, New York is a cop on the beat
Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the steeple bells chime
New York is a city of magic, New York is a hip state of mind

New York (New York) - the city of night life
The city of bright lights - we're doin' our part
New York (New York) - the city of fashion
The city of passion - this town has a heart

Listen to the sound of the city, New York is the pulse of the world
New York is the mecca that's Broadway, New York is the style on the girl
Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the sound of my town
You can take a ride on the tramway, hold your breath while your comin' down

New York (New York), perpetual motion
From ocean to ocean - there's nothing compares
New York (New York) - the parks and the playgrounds
New York is the sweet sound - of children at play

Listen to the sound of the city, New York after dark is alive
Uptown or the (?) of Harlem, New York is a city with pride
Listen to the sound of the city, New York is both future and past
New York is the city of music, New York is the city with class

Listen to the sound of the city, Listen to the sound of the town
New York is the city of cities, New York is still wearing the crown
Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the people I love
Everyone is speaking your language, New York speaks in your native tongue.


Otra del mismo interprete menos disco y más rock en "Can't stop the music" era Samantha, es una lastima que no hubiera trascendido en la música, me refiero a David London, no sonaba tan mal, de hecho, desde mi punto de vista sonaba mejor que mucho de lo que habia en la epoca disco, es más, esas canciones las conoci porque vi la pelicula y porque me regalaron el disco, entonces tenia diez años, pero en el radio jamás lo escuche.

Twist of Fate de Olivia Newton-John

Durante los maravillosos 80's existío una estupenda canción de la que casi nadie se acuerda, Twist Of Fate de Olivia Newton-John y de la pelicula Two Of Kind (donde vuelve a actuar con John Travolta desde Grease) una comedia romantica de 1983, para mayor información sobre la pelicula pueden checar la Wikipedia en ingles.

En el audio desde GoEar.com se puede oir la versión extendida y en el video desde YouTube.com se puede observar un buen video con toda la estetica ochentera, en el cual aparece John Travolta, excelente tema.



Do we deserve a second chance?
How did we fall into this circumstance?
We weren't so straight and narrow
This is much more than we deserve

A higher voice has called the tune
Two hearts that lost the beat will now resume
The gift of life extension
By divine intervention

It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around

Don't understand what's going on
Woke up this morning, all the hurt was gone
This is a new beginning
I'm back in the land of the living

It's gotta be a strange twist of fate
Telling me that Heaven can wait
Telling me to get it right this time
Life doesn't mean a thing
Without the love you bring
Love is what we've found
The second time around
