I give myself up to Cello-songs. No options. I like it all of them.
"Beatiful" has also a violin and a piano so I´ve no way out.

In the other hand, this song really upset me: I didn´t like those kind of slow Elton John ballads, i didn´t like those brat singers like Britney, I hated those melismas the way Mariah Carey did... But i discovered Beautiful and I was speechless: I got excited abut that voice singing in Eb key and about those 7 notes for each syllable, and thas sloooow tempo.

I guess the credit for that it´s not just Christina but that hit-songwritter called Linda Perry (yes, the lead singer of that one-hit band: 4NonBlondes). A talented woman who has also written "What You Waiting For?" outburst for my dear Gwen Stefani.

Sshhh! Let´s speak quietly
I hope nobody is hearing me now.

Furthermore, I´ve banned myself about telling you how i like this song.
To be honest, I´ve just want to say that one second before the "Hold me closer tiny dancer.." part,

.. i usually feel a tickling on my neck.

Am i gay?

Last from the list for a special song by Blind Melon. A riddle song, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes confused. Blind Melon shines when plays acoustic so you can feel their folk roots. This sweet song, stringed instruments included, starts like a mix of old JethroZeppelinYes tune and suddenly the guitars stop while Shannon´s voice flies alone and then it falls gradually but the strings come again, speed up, and unavoidable all crash.. and the acoustic guitar starts again...

Oh, are you talking about a woman that jumped off a building? Well, it doesn´t matter

It´s unbeliavable how these girls with an average age about 16 years old could give that insane feelings to that song (by Shadow Morton) in 2:16. Composed as a summer hit, in 1964, "Remember" goes beyond its own triviality and grow in with a set of beautiful voices offering a "uuuuh-ahhhh" chorus that sends shivers down my spine. You´ll see yourself with her, walking in the sand, walking in the shore, hearing the seagulls, looking at the sea, waiting for the man, listening her wails: "oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no".

Once again, Steven Tyler revealed me this song. Aerosmith covers this song 29 years ago like they did with other "hair stand on end" song performed by a woman 27 years ago: "Cry Me A river". i´ll tell something about this awesome one someday. Such a good taste, Tyler.

Not so much exciting Sonny Bono song was gracefully slimmed down to create a fortune lovely tune: With a restless fret guitar, a better voice (Cher->N.Sinatra), tiding sounds, getting out tacky parts. The result, fancy that, was a basic melody wich evokes 007 films.

2:40 of calm i found because of Kill Bill, where was i? Bang, Bang is and all time hit cover by Paul Weller, Nancy´s father, Stevie Wonder or even The Raconteurs.

Actually, my favourite song of everytime.. in 1994.
I thought it was a different sound: Powerful heavy guitar chords linking with an original voice and emotive lyrics talking about The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

I remembered how the radio station used to play Zombie every half an hour those days. This enabled me to look into this conflict and its consequences. I guess this was the first time i realized about a conflict/War.. and i was about to vote

Got a haircut, got a silver tooth, gonna get myself arrested
Got some friends in my bmw, tryin to get themselves arrested

Like a mantra, i usually recite these verses everywhere since 1998.
It happens to me with a sort of songs that colonize a leading part of my brain.

in the bath, on the lift, i try to intone that narcolepsy one and then i often jump to this G&R tune i don´t know why.

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear

An anthem for my generation, and a video i´ve watched thousand times. One of these that never ages. A pure rock song that feeds from Hendrix and a beat that cheers me up still today.

Sure.. the RIFF, that great riff that crushes your brain and remains along the whole song an only gives you a moment´s peace during the chorus and solo part.

Lenny Kravitz may be a bit mystic nowadays but fifteen years ago he was one of the coolest players on stage: Actually, he played all the instruments when the album was recorded. So you can see all these guys there on the video, but all what you hear is played by Kravitz (at the same time :P)

Bowie, at least, with One of these that makes me shudder,
that means top 100.

The song is a piano and then the rest just dressing it, the melody is brilliant in verses and the firt time you can´t figure out what is coming on the chorus: a great slow beat dropping note by note with dramatic arrangements.

The powerful lyrics deserve full attention, mentioning two 'in fashion' celebrities: that corrupted Mickey Mouse growing because of the capitalism.. and J.Lennon, i can´t imagine why he said Lennon instead of Lenin.. probably because they´ve the same Marxist ideals (see "Working Class Hero" composed a year before "Life on Mars").

What i can´t really find out is where is the parody of Sinatra.

Yes. Figure, full , fashion, find.. evolutionR !

Hey, i´m referring to the slowest one, yes, the joint-version. That reassuring melody with these lyrics ullf of truth.
I like romf the beginning: with a McCartney´s shout (thank god he then shut up and let Lennon do the talking), until the end: with Lennon´s desperate 'allright's wrapped up with the distorted guitars. Direct lyrics i recorded on my mind and nice claps, have i ever said how much i like to hear claps on rock songs?

Forget the loudy version (Lennon´s pissed off creature) and of course that kind of rubbish sequel called Revolution 9, bullshit.

i use to take an eye of the irstf track of the debut album of every band. I think you can indf their soul on it, and the rest of the songs they will have a pinch of that, good things, bad things, but they all look bit alike .

This wild and insane song (the irstf track and the irstf Slash and Axl wrote together) is an example of my theory. Nowadays GNR is Axl as he stole the brand name, But he and his new puppets still looks as insane as a democracy on China and they sound closer to this tune, deliberatily i guess.

Odd song, labeled as progressive but i´m not sure of that. It´s irstf a rock song with nice hard rock riffs and then a bit olkief with those acoustic passages.

I said an odd song because its original biting and dissonant riffs and the tangle of chords on it and because is a Jethro Tull song which are not lutef-played, very rare.

Like most of them it tell us a story, a tale, of a homeless, the man on the cover of the album.

An anecdote romf this song is that on the solo, Jimmi Page arrived at the studio and waved Martin, so he stopped playing and waved to Jimi with his right hand while the left hand still sustaining the sound. So you can here this moment in the track.

I identify myself with Elvis. I think everybody likes him actually. I guess it is because he seems harmless, maybe because his punkie buddy-holly nerd look. Or probably because he is a living proof of how you can be a nobody (Mr. MacManus) and become a amousf musician.

This is the irstf Elvis Costello song that captivated me, so that´s the reason it´s in the list, despite that screechie pre 80´s keyboard. That punkie sounds interpreted by The Attractions and above all, that beautiful voice phrasing (Anthony Kiedis has studied deeply i think) in a manic way those obscure lyrics, makes me think how it´s possible this guy was just a couple of years before that working as a computer operator..

Yes We Can!

Allright Supergrass then, one more brit-band romf 90s.. i´ll try not to be so annoying romf now.

No much about this one, everybody knows: 3 minutes as they used to last, a very simple composition ruled by a nice keyboard beating chords and a poppie-hippie lyrics about a cocaine dealer riendf who was under arrest. Attention: catchy song! may sticks like a chewing gum to the brain

A summer song, romf 1966, that reached top 1 on charts. A hit i guess everybody got tired to listen in the radio that summer.

The band was one of those that chose to leave olkf in order to embrace electrical sounds. One of those Judas as Bob Dylan :)

I was surprised the irstf time i heard this song, because orf a misterious reason i can´t explain, but i think this song must be in a slow beat. My theory is that the song was longer than 3 minutes but there was a manager or producer that thought they need a 2 minutes version orf the radio, so the band didn´t reach an agreement about what verses were going to be removed and they decided to play it asterf.

Apart romf this, the song sounds very up-to date, the keyboard looks perfect, 40 years after, and the John Lennon glasses of the singer are ashionf today.. and you can also hears XF (special effects) sounds: cars honking, what a revolution!

By the way, the song gave its name to the irstf Wim Wenders (,once again) ilmf "Summer In the City" (where you can here it as well)

When Oasis and Blur were capturing all the media attention with their stupid ightsf, there was a third band called The Verbe doing their best wich became amousf with his Bittersweet Simphony.

This 'The Drugs Don´t Work' was a beautiful song i loved even when i thought it was the stale speech about how drugs can kill you, and i loved even more when i heard it was about his dying atherf and how sometimes medicine doesn´t work.

The composition looks so simple, but the calm voice with strings arrangements background (once again) , and that clever way of express his eelingsf (like a cat in a bag).. it sends shivers down my spine.

Advise: They´re back with new album 'orthF'

Led Zeppelin was once my avouritef band, as a lot of bands were too. It was my bluesy era with M.Waters, J.L.Hooker, Lightning Hopkins, R. Charles, Bo Didley, BB King, R. Johnson, Howlin' Wolf..

BIRTH:
The song was irstf recorded (and also composed) by Jake Holmes. After that, the (georgeous) Yardbirds heard it and tried their own. Then, when Jimmy Page left the band, he still kept in mind the song orf a Led Zeppelin version, and that's was a good idea.

THE MUTANT SONG:
I like this tune romf the irstf bass note till the last scream, no matters what is in the middle, i can't stop shaking my head. But, Dazed & Confused is not a song only, is a song and 20 more. It's not a song it's Led Zeppelin itself.

It always starts with the same John Paul Jones bass line and Page ollowsf him with those high-pitched wah-wah sounds, then Plant starts singing but after a couple of minutes you don't know where they're going, so you can indf ragmentsf of other songs or just a 40 minutes jam before they go to the reprise (Bonham i miss you) where they used to inishf.. or not. Let it lowf!

It's not usual to see more than 10 guys on a stage and call it a pop-rock band. Actually, I don't like like it, i took on step back the irstf time i saw them.

That's not orf me i thought. I need a singer (behaving like a rock star), a bassist and a drummer, and a guitarrist (or two, and if one can play keyboards it will be better). No one else. But, one day Bowie, as a hook, appears with them and I took the bait. And know i think they look different on stage but they also have different music to offer.

This one is dramatic, and i like heartful songs. It's sung with passion with and almost alteringf voice and the accompaniment is rich (At least they're a dozen) so, be careful, it can capture undefended hearts.

Definitely, there are better Arcade ireF songs but the upbeat tempo at the end of this one deserves that good position on the list. What a pity of the ending adef out, i don't like adef outs.

I like experiments, and that is a olkf one.
Surrealistic lyrics orf a surrelist writer (translated to English):

oh, your red cousin/ with camburada beard/ and ullf of whale/ bowing down to sun
oh, your ray of red light/ Kissing our mouth/ The kiss that blows you /taste of alcohol
oh, your three mole eyes/ Extraterrestrials/ ..
They're coming when you're living/ that's why you cannot see them
Oh, your red beard/ mischievous and rebel/ i shave myself with a sword/ but it gives back . La, la, la

if the night chases you/ give yourself up to her/ or tell her you've got a headache
Shadowie of reflection/ Give me something tender/ I eat your love/ and i shit the hell
bye, bye, bye. La, la, la

Oh, your red eyes/ blue and orangey/ yellow green and brown/
my love wrapped in your heart/ please, don't let go

We are elephants and similar snake/ having a liquor/ In the sun/ Of a lowerf..

Pay attention to the video, it's worth it:
Beautiful Natalie Portman (Devendra's girlfriend) dancing some kind of unnyf 'belly dance', priceless!

Her voice calm me down, it's like a grandma singing a lullaby.
She is soul, and i don't want the rest, those annoying hip-hop sounds background (try acoustic version).

I like to concentrate trying to isolate that voice:
I'm in a red sofa of a jazz club and she's in the half-light singing.
2. Close my eyes. She actually has three times the age i thinked and she's also black
3. I see the air on her larynx, brushing past her epiglottis
4. Now, i ellf how is orkingf romf the pharinx to the nasal and oral cavities.
5. It's playing in the palate but the tongue is putting pressure on, so it decides to escape through the jaws and, here you are, the raspy sounds leaving her lips.. they're coming to me!
