Demasiado
triste, demasiado solo
paso estos dias tan lejos de ti
el hombre que fui un dia solo quedan trozos
y un cuerpo en pena que va por ahí
y mi mundo entero se derrumba poco a poco
se que te he perdido lo debo a admitir
y si te dañe te juro me arrepiento
yo cargare mi culpabilidad.
Se que no hay perdon por tanto sufrimiento
pero en verdad la estoy pasando mal
aunque a veces quiero ser indiferente
las horas sin ti son una eternidad....
CORO
Te llevaste mi vida, mis sueños, mis ganas, mi todo
me has desgarrado el alma
es que sin ti yo me pierdo, me asfixio, me ahogo
se me esfuma la esperanza
de que yo pueda sin ti sobrevivir
de que yo pueda sin ti sobrevivir...
Si me devolvieras tan solo un momento
de lo que fue nuestra felicidad
olvidaria todo y detendria el tiempo
para que tu no te vayas jamas,
aunque con los dias las heridas sanaran
este a sido amor una herida mortal...
CORO
De
todos modos que te vaya bien...
de todos modos te recordare
y le pido a Dios mantener la fe aunque no te vuelva
a ver...
CORO.

GENRE: SOFT ROCK
YEAR: 1981
Journey is
an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former
members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several
phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987 when Steve
Perry was lead vocalist. During that period, the band released a series of hit
songs, including "Don't Stop Believin'"(1981), which in 2009 became
the top-selling track in iTunes history among songs not released in the 21st
century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band's seventh and most
successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of
their most popular singles, "Open Arms". Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers,
was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning
several successful singles; it broadened the band's appeal in the United
Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful
reunion in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
Sales
have resulted in one diamond, ten platinum(including seven consecutive
multi-platinum albums between 1978 and 1987) and three gold albums. They have
had eighteen Top 40 singles in the U.S. (the second most without a Billboard Hot
100 number one single behind Electric Light Orchestra with 20), six of which
reached the Top 10 of the US chart and two of which reached No.1 on other Billboard
charts, and a No.6 hit on the UK Singles Chart in "Don't Stop
Believin'". In
2005, "Don't Stop Believin'" reached No. 3 on iTunes downloads. Originally
a progressive rock band, Journey was described by AllMusic as having cemented a
reputation as "one of America's most beloved (and sometimes hated)
commercial rock/pop bands" by 1978, when they redefined their sound by
embracing pop arrangements on their fourth album, Infinity.
According
to the Recording Industry Association of America, Journey has sold 48 million
albums in the U.S., making them the 25th best-selling band. Their worldwide
sales have reached over 75 million records, making them one of the world's
best-selling bands of all time. A 2005 USA Today opinion poll named Journey the
fifth-best U.S. rock band in history. Their songs have become arena rock staples
and are still played on rock radio stations across the world. Journey ranks No.
96 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Journey
was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the class of 2017.
Inductees included lead Singer Steve Perry, guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardists Jonathan
Cain and Gregg Rolie, bassist Ross Valory, and drummers Aynsley Dunbar and Steve
Smith.
"Who's
Crying Now" is a song by the American rock band Journey. It was written by
Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry. It was released in 1981 as the first single from
Escape and reached No. 4 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Mainstream Rock
Tracks charts. The song charted at No. 46 in the UK Singles Chart, and was the
band's highest charting single in the UK until "Don't Stop Believin'"
(also released as a single from the Escape album in 1981) incurred a resurgence
in worldwide popularity in 2009.
The song
is highlighted by Steve Perry's lyrics (with vocal riffs highly reminiscent of Sam
Cooke) and piano playing by Jonathan Cain which segues into a bass riff by Ross
Valory, and other guitars. At the end of the song, Neal Schon plays a repeating
guitar solo that sounds similar to Santana. According to Schon on In the Studio
with Redbeard(which devoted an entire episode to the making of Escape),
originally he recorded an aggressive, experimental guitar solo which he liked
but Perry and Cain did not. He then recorded a second solo, the "simplest thing he could
play off the top of his head" as recalled by Perry. That
one was appreciated much more by the rest of the band. Steve Smith's drumming
is only found in the choruses and towards the end of the song.
Billboard
Magazine praised "Who's Crying Now" as "one of Journey's
strongest and classiest records," and "one of the most appealing love
songs" of 1981.
It's
been a mystery
Still
they try to see
Why
something good
Can
hurt so bad
Caught
on a one-way street
The
taste of bittersweet
Love
will survive somehow, someway
(Chorus)
One
love feeds the fire
One
heart burns desire
Wonder
who's cryin' now
Two
hearts born to run
Who'll
be the lonely one?
Wonder
who's cryin' now
So
many stormy nights
So
many wrong or rights
Neither
would change
Their
headstrong ways
In a
lover's rage
They
tore another page
The
fighting is worth
The
love they save
(Chorus)
Only
so many tears
You
can cry
'Til
the heartache is over
And
now you can say
Your
love will never die.

Lejos de todo cuanto ame
En tiempos oscuros vivo hoy sin ti
Pero aún queda un suspiro de honor
Como aliado de este gran amor
Hay un lugar mucho más allá del sol
Donde mi reino acaba en tu corazón
Donde los sueños se hacen realidad
Y una leyenda nació grabada a fuego en mi piel
Con la fuerza de mi corazón
Y el coraje de un amor sin fin
Me armaré un día de valor
Y volveré a conquistar lo que perdí
Con la fuerza de mi corazón
Luchare hasta recuperar
Cada instante que pasé sin ti
En el destierro de un lejano adiós
Cuando la noche llega sé
Que esa luna que brilla para los dos
Marca el destino que será
Y en tus labios siempre escrito esta
hay un lugar mucho más Allá del sol
Donde mi reino acaba en tu corazón
Donde los sueños se hacen realidad
Y una leyenda nació grabada a fuego en mi piel
Con la fuerza de mi corazón
Y el coraje de un amor sin fin
Me armare un día de valor
Y volveré a conquistar lo que perdí
Con la fuerza de mi corazón
Luchare hasta recuperar
Cada instante que pasé sin ti
En el destierro de un lejano adiós
Mil ilusiones rotas sin razón
Son el legado de la envidia y el poder
Pero la esperanza nunca muere porque sé que te llevo
muy dentro de mí, en mí
Con la fuerza de mi corazón
Y el coraje de un amor sin fin
Me armare un día de valor
Y volveré a conquistar lo que perdí
Con la fuerza de mi corazón
Luchare hasta recuperar
Cada instante que pasé sin ti
En el destierro de un legado adiós
Con la fuera de mi corazón
Y el coraje de un amor sin fin
Volveré a conquistar lo que
perdí.
CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING

COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: WHEELS ARE TURNIN’/VINYL
LABEL: EPIC RECORDS
GENRE: BALLAD
YEAR: 1984
"Can't
Fight This Feeling" is a power ballad performed by the American rock band REO
Speedwagon. The single remained at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for
three consecutive weeks from March 9 to March 23, 1985.
The song
first appeared on REO Speedwagon's 1984 album Wheels Are Turnin'. It was the
group's second number-one hit on the U.S. charts (the first being 1981's "Keep
on Loving You", also written by Kevin Cronin) and reached number sixteen
in the UK. "Can't Fight This Feeling" has appeared on dozens of
'various artists' compilation albums, as well as several REO Speedwagon
greatest hits albums.
REO
Speedwagon performed the song at the 1985 Live Aid concert; they were
introduced by Chevy Chase.
REO
Speedwagon (originally stylized as R.E.O. Speedwagon) is an American rock band
from Champaign, Illinois. Formed in 1967, the band cultivated a following during the 1970s and
achieved significant commercial success throughout the 1980s. The
group's best-selling album, Hi Infidelity(1980), contained four US Top 40 hits
and sold more than 10 million copies.
Over the
course of its career, the band has sold more than 40 million records and has
charted 13 Top 40 hits, including the number ones "Keep On Loving You"
and "Can't Fight This Feeling". REO Speedwagon's mainstream popularity waned in the late
1980s, but the band remains a popular live act.
The band
released a self-financed album entitled Find Your Own Way Home in April 2007.
Though it did not chart as an album, it produced two singles which appeared on Billboard's
Adult Contemporary radio chart.
REO
Speedwagon continues to tour regularly, performing mostly their classic hits. They
teamed up with Styx to record a new single entitled "Can't Stop
Rockin'", released in March 2009, as well as for a full tour that included
special guest .38 Special.
In
November 2009, REO Speedwagon released a Christmas album, Not So Silent
Night...Christmas with REO Speedwagon. On December 2, the band released an
online video game, Find Your Own Way Home, produced by digital design agency
Curious Sense. The game was the first "downloadable casual game"
produced with a rock band and was cited by numerous publications including The
New York Times as an innovative marketing product for a music act. In Summer
2010, the band — then touring with Pat Benatar — announced that it would
release a 30th anniversary deluxe edition reissue of Hi Infidelity.
REO Speedwagon headlined on the M&I Classic Rock
Stage at the Milwaukee Summerfest on June 30, 2011. On March
11, 2012, Kevin Cronin appeared on the Canadian reality TV series Star Académie.
He sang a sampling
of REO's hits with the show's singing finalists.
On
November 22, 2013, they announced a benefit concert with Styx titled "Rock
to the Rescue" to raise money for the affected families of the tornadoes
in central Illinois. The concert was held on December 4, 2013 in Bloomington,
Illinois. Richard Marx joined REO on stage for a joint performance of two of
his hit songs. Gary
Richrath reunited with REO one final time for a performance of "Ridin' the
Storm Out" to end REO's set at the sold-out concert. Richrath
stayed on stage to help with the encore of "With a Little Help From My
Friends" along with REO, Styx, Richard Marx, and others. Richrath was originally from the
town of East Peoria which was damaged during the storm. Families impacted by
the storm and first responders sat near the stage for this special REO concert.
In early
2014, it was announced that REO Speedwagon and Chicago would be teaming up for
15 dates throughout 2014. Gary Richrath died on September 13, 2015, due to
complications from surgery. In 2016 the band went on tour with Def Leppard and Tesla.
The band
performed with Pitbull the song "Messin' Around" live on the ABC TV
show Greatest Hits in 2016; that version of the song was also released as
a single on iTunes. The band toured the UK arena circuit with Status Quo in
December 2016. The band toured the US with Styx and Don Felder on the
"United We Rock" tour, debuting June 20, 2017, at the Sunlight Supply
Amphitheater. In 2017 the Hi Infidelity album received the Diamond Award for
official U.S. sales of over 10 million copies. REO and Chicago once again
teamed up for tour dates during the summer of 2018.
The band
appeared in an episode in the third season of the American TV series Ozark,
which was released on Netflix on March 27, 2020. After the appearance, four of REO‘s songs
reentered the Billboard rock charts.
Oh, I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out this friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running around in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
