RECORDANDO CANCIONES (I)

de BOB DYLAN

Álbum: Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964)

All I really want to do 

I ain't lookin' to compete with you

Beat or cheat or mistreat you

Simplify you, classify you

Deny, defy or crucify you

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you.

No, and I ain't lookin' to fight with you

Frighten you or tighten you

Drag you down or drain you down

Chain you down or bring you down

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you.

I ain't lookin' to block you up

Shock or knock or lock you up

Analyze you, categorize you

Finalize you or advertise you

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to straight-face you

Race or chase you, track or trace you

Or disgrace you or displace you

Or define you or confine you

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to meet your kin

Make you spin or do you in

Or select you or dissect you

Or inspect you or reject you

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you.

I don't want to fake you out

Take or shake or forsake you out

I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me

See like me or be like me

All I really want to do

Is, baby, be friends with you.

de CAROLE KING & JAMES TAYLOR

YOU´VE GOT A FRIEND

Compositora: Carole King / Álbum: Tapestry (1971)
-James Taylor colaboró en la grabación del disco cantando la segunda voz en el estribillo de la canción-

When you're down and troubled/And you need some loving care/And nothing, nothing is going right/Close your eyes and think of me/And soon I will be there/To brighten up even your darkest night/ You just call out my name/And you know wherever I am/I'll come running to see you again/Winter, spring, summer or fall/All you have to do is call/And I'll be there/You've got a friend/ If the sky above you/Grows dark and full of clouds/And that old north wind begins to blow/Keep your head together/And call my name out loud/Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door/ You just call out my name/And you know wherever I am/I'll come running to see you again/Winter, spring, summer or fall/All you have to do is call/And I'll be there/ Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend/When people can be so cold/They'll hurt you, and desert you/And take your soul if you let them/Oh, but don't you let them/ You just call out my name/And you know wherever I am/I'll come running to see you again/Winter, spring, summer or fall/ All you have to do is call/And I'll be there/You've got a friend/

-Álbum: Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon (1971)

Álbum: Harvest (1972)

   Heart of Gold

I want to live,

I want to give

I've been a miner

for a heart of gold.

It's these expressions

I never give

That keep me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood

I've been to Redwood

I crossed the ocean

for a heart of gold

I've been in my mind,

it's such a fine line

That keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching

for a heart of gold

You keep me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm growing old.

I've been a miner

for a heart of gold. 

de FLEETWOOD MAC

Mick Fleetwood

John McVie

Para contar la historia de Fleetwood Mac sería más fácil realizar un árbol genealógico.

De los miembros originales, los únicos que han permanecido siempre al frente de la banda han sido: el carismático baterista Mick Fleetwood y el bajista John McVie.

(Never going back again, compositor: Lindsey Buckingham)

She broke down and let me in
Made me see where I've been

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm  never going back again

You don't know what it means to win
So come down and see me again

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm  never going back again

Never going back again
