EROS RAMAZZOTTI
COMPOSITORE: EROS RAMAZZOTTI
PAESE: ITALIA
ALBUM: IN OGNI SENSO
ETICHETTA: DDD
GENERE: POP
ANNO: 1990

In ogni senso è il quinto album del cantautore italiano Eros Ramazzotti, pubblicato il 10 aprile 1990.
Questo è l'album che proietta Ramazzotti nel panorama internazionale, grazie alle oltre tre milioni di copie vendute in tutto il mondo e che lo farà diventare uno dei principali protagonisti della scena musicale italiana. L'album arriva in prima posizione in Italia, in Svizzera per tre settimane e nei Paesi Bassi, in seconda posizione in Germania (rimanendo 53 settimane in classifica), in quinta in Austria ed in decima in Norvegia. In questo importante lavoro, l'artista romano propone brani in cui si denota una grande maturazione artistica rispetto a quelli pubblicati precedentemente, soprattutto per quanto riguarda i temi trattati. Il primo singolo è Se bastasse una canzone.
In Taxi Story si parla di un taxista di Rio de Janeiro che vorrebbe cambiare vita e inseguire chissà quale strada pur di non rimanere tra quelle "strade troppo strette che fanno paura" (come dice il testo) e diventa così il simbolo di chi non riesce a raggiungere gli obiettivi prefissi ed è costretto a vivere nell'anonimato e nel pericolo per poter andare avanti, senza che qualcuno si accorga veramente di lui.


Tal vez las chicas de new york,
Me gustan más por qué, soñar es
Fácil y además, es más barato
Que viajar.

Un club de jazz, un whisky, un trío,
Ponen la música del "film" en que
Vivo, igual que el león de la
"metrogolding mayer", abriendo
El telón de mis sueños.

Cierto, mejor allí, que en el culo
Del mundo, mejor nada de segunda,
Que ninguna libertad. cierto que,
Ese sueño americano, cada día más
Lejando, se me muere a mi también.

Sea lo que sea, todo tiene un precio,
Cada dios un cielo, cada sueño un

Tiempo, en que debes despertar.
IF
PYNK FLOYD
SONGWRITER: Roger Waters
COUNTRY: U.K.
ALBUM: ATOM HEART MOTHER
LABEL: HARVEST
GENRE: PROGRESSIVE FOLK
YEAR: 1970

"If" is a song by Pink Floyd on their 1970 album Atom Heart Mother. This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd.
Written and sung by Roger Waters, like "Grantchester Meadows" before it, "If" carries on a pastoral and folky approach, but instead deals with introspection. The song is in the key of E Major.


If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late.
And if I were a good man, I'd talk with you more often than I do.
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain.
If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
If I were a rule, I would bend.
If I were a good man, I'd understand the spaces between friends.
If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
And if I go insane, will you still let me join in with the game?
If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late again.

If I were a good man, I'd talk to you more often than I do.

Subi a escada de papelão
Imaginada
Invocação
Não leva a nada
Não leva não
É só uma escada de papelão

Há outra entrada no Paraíso
Mais apertada
Mais sim senhor
Foi inventada
Por um anão
E está guardada
Por um dragão

Eu só conheço
Esse caminho
Do Paraíso.
MILLION REASONS
LADY GAGA
SONGWRITERS: HILLARY LINDSEY & LADY GAGA
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: JOANNE
LABEL: INTERSCOPE RECORDS
GENRE: POP
YEAR: 2016

"Million Reasons" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for her fifth studio album, Joanne (2016). Initially released as a promotional single, it was released to radio stations on November 8, 2016, as the album's second single. The track was written by Gaga, Hillary Lindsey and Mark Ronson, and produced by Ronson, Gaga and BloodPop. It grew organically from the conversations that Lindsey and Gaga were having one day, with the title phrase lifted from the singer's musings about the men in her life.
A pop song with country influences, backed by guitar and piano, "Million Reasons" lyrically delves on "heartbreak and hope" during a relationship, as well as Gaga's religious faith during the chorus, ultimately making it a positive message song. Critically appreciated for its simple production and lyrics, "Million Reasons" reached the top 10 of the charts in Hungary, Slovakia, Switzerland, Venezuela and the United States as well as the top 20 in Belgium, Canada, Italy, and Scotland.
The music video was directed by Ruth Hogben and Andrea Gelardin, and it continues from where the video for previous single, "Perfect Illusion", had ended. It shows Gaga singing in a white studio, and also her in a desert breaking down and finally being rescued by her friends. In order to promote "Million Reasons", the singer performed it at multiple avenues, including the Dive Bar Tour (2016), on multiple television appearances, and also included it in her set list at the Super Bowl LI halftime show and the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Cover versions of the song were recorded by singer Kelsea Ballerini, and by Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and Phish's Trey Anastasio.

You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Ehh, ehh, eyy
Baby, I'm bleedin', bleedin'
Stay, ehh, ehh
Can't you give me what I'm needin', needin'?
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one

Baby, I just need one good one to stay.
