Aretha Franklin / Son of a preacher



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD42WhNl9z0

SON OF A PREACHER
By Ronnie Wilkins and John Hurley

    Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son, 
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
That's when Billy would take me walking,
Through the back yard we'd go walking,
Then he'd look into my eyes,
Lord knows to my suprise:

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Being good isn't always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he'd come tell me everything is alright,
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright,
Can I get away again tonight?.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

How well I remember,
The look that was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the sly,
Taking time to make time,
Telling me that he's all mine,
Learning from each others knowing,
Looking to see how much we'd grown.

The only one who could ever reach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
The only boy who could ever teach me,
Was the son of a preacher man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.

Aretha Franklin / Cinco canciones gloriosas


Aretha Franklin

Las cinco canciones más gloriosas de Aretha Franklin

El crítico de música recomienda los mejores temas de 'la reina del soul', fallecida este jueves a los 76 años

Aretha Franklin: Soulville (1964)

Contra la narrativa habitual de que Aretha descubrió el soul en Atlantic Records, una incandescente Aretha desmadrándose en el sello Columbia.









Aretha Franklin: Respect (1967)


En la versión original, de Otis Redding, el hombre exige sus prerrogativas. Aretha da la vuelta al tema y factura un genuino himno feminista.









Aretha Franklin: Think (1968)
Escrita por Aretha y su primer marido, el temible Ted White, parece reflejar una herida íntima. Su exigencia de “libertad ahora mismo” tiene modo de ultimátum.









Aretha Franklin: I say a little prayer (1968)
Aretha se apodera de un éxito de Dionne Warwick, demostrando su comodidad en el formato de combo de jazz y su querencia por la sinuosa bossa nova.










Aretha Franklin: Rock steady (1971)
Composición de la propia Aretha, donde se encaja en los ritmos apretados del funk, arrebatando incluso a los mejores músicos de estudio de Nueva York.












Aretha Franklin / Ain't No Way

Aretha Franklin 

Ain't No Way

Song written by Carolyn Franklin

Album: Lady Soul (1968)



Ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need
If you won't let me give all of me

I know that a woman's duty is to help and love a man
And that's the way it was planned
Oh but how can I how can I how can I
Give you all the things I have
If you're tying both of my hands

Oh it ain't no way
It ain't no way
It just ain't no way baby
Ain't no way baby
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me

Stop trying to be someone you're not
How come it's true there's a man
Who payed too much for what he got
And if you need me like you say you do
Oh then, then don't you know that I need you

Oh, it ain't no way
I tell you that it ain't no way
It ain't no way, it ain't no way baby, no
It just ain't no way
It sho' ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me

No way, if you won't let me
Ain't no way

Aretha Franklin

I say a little prayer


I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
by Burt Bacharach and Hal David


The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little pray for you While combing my hair now, And wondering what dress to wear now, I say a little prayer for you Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart and I will love you Forever, and ever, we never will part Oh, how I love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only meen heartbreak for me. I run for the bus, dear, While riding I think of us, dear, I say a little prayer for you. At work I just take time And all through my coffee break-time, I say a little prayer for you. Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart and I will love you Forever, and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me. I say a little prayer for you I say a little prayer for you My darling believe me, ( beleive me) For me there is no one but you! Please love me too (answer his pray) And I'm in love with you (answer his pray) Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray) Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart and I will love you Forever, and ever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

REZO UNA PEQUEÑA PLEGARIA


DESDE EL MOMENTO EN QUE DESPIERTO,
ANTES DE MAQUILLARME,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA PLEGARIA POR TI.
MIENTRAS ME PEINO
Y ME PREGUNTO QUÉ VESTIDO PONERME AHORA,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA PLEGARIA POR TI.

PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, TE QUEDARÁS EN MI CORAZÓN
Y TE AMARÉ.
PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, NUNCA NOS SEPARAREMOS.
OH, CÓMO TE AMO.
JUNTOS, PARA SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES CÓMO DEBE SER.
VIVIR SIN TI
ME ROMPERÍA EL CORAZÓN.

CORRO AL AUTOBÚS, QUERIDO,
MIENTRAS VIAJO PIENSO EN NOSOTROS, QUERIDO,
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA PLEGARIA POR TI.
EN EL TRABAJO ME TOMO UN TIEMPO
Y EN EL DESCANSO DEL CAFÉ
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA PLEGARÍA POR TI.

PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, TE QUEDARÁS EN MI CORAZÓN
Y TE AMARÉ.
PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, NUNCA NOS SEPARAREMOS.
OH, CÓMO TE AMO.
JUNTOS, PARA SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES CÓMO DEBE SER.
VIVIR SIN TI
ME ROMPERÍA EL CORAZÓN.

REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.
REZO UNA PEQUEÑA ORACIÓN POR TI.

CARIÑO, CRÉEME,
PARA MÍ NO EXISTE NADIE MÁS QUE TÚ.
POR FAVOR, ÁMAME TÚ TAMBIÉN.
ESTOY ENAMORADA DE TI.
RESPONDE A MI PLEGARIA AHORA, CARIÑO.

PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, TE QUEDARÁS EN MI CORAZÓN
Y TE AMARÉ.
PARA SIEMPRE JAMÁS, NUNCA NOS SEPARAREMOS.
OH, CÓMO TE AMO.
JUNTOS, PARA SIEMPRE, ASÍ ES CÓMO DEBE SER.
VIVIR SIN TI
ME ROMPERÍA EL CORAZÓN.

Pigs

(Three Different Ones)

Pink Floyd Lyrics


PIGS

by Roger Waters


Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
