Io voglio per me le tue carezze
Si, io t'amo piu' della mia vita!
Ritornero' in ginocchio da te
L'altra non e' niente per me
Ora lo so
Ho sbagliato con te
Ritornero' in ginocchio da te
E bacero' le tue mani amor
Negli occhi tuoi
Che hanno pianto per me
Io cerchero'
Il perdono da te
E bacero' le tue mani amor
Io voglio per me le tue carezze
Si, io t'amo piu' della mia vita!
(Per finire)
Io voglio per me le tue carezze
Si, io t'amo piu' della mia vita!

un'ombra.
Enrico Ruggeri (Milano, 5
giugno 1957) è un cantautore, scrittore, conduttore televisivo e conduttore
radiofonico italiano, vincitore di due edizioni del Festival di Sanremo.
Il musicista ha una finestra sulla vita
che gli scorre parallela come un film,
sente vibrazioni sconosciute
e vuole mettertele in piazza
senza parole.
Poi racconta di un amore mai vissuto
e quando sogna non ha nome e non ha età
e vive con lo sguardo incuriosito
di una misteriosa razza
senza colore.
Vedi che gente allegra
che tiene il tempo con le mani,
che tiene il mondo tra le mani
e poi regala l'immaginazione a te.
Rotaie - oltre la linea di confine,
rotaie - fosforescenti nella scia,
rotaie - inargentate dalla brina,
e domattina
ti pianterò nel cuore una canzone.
Il musicista ha il suo barometro cangiante
e quando vuole trasfigura la realtà
e gira gli occhi in fretta e con un lampo
rappresenta la tua vita
che tu nascondi.
Poi accende un desiderio inconfessato
e ti stupisci di pensare come lui,
quando tieni un sogno molto stretto
e lo rigiri tra le dita
e poi ti accendi.
Vedi che gente strana
che alza nel cielo le sue mani,
si stringe forte con le mani
e poi regala un altro desiderio a te.
Rotaie - oltre la linea di confine,
rotaie - fosforescenti nella scia,
rotaie - inargentate dalla brina,
e domattina
ti pianterò nel cuore una canzone.
Il musicista prende, archivia,
muore e rinasce,
si innamora di sè e poi vola, vola.
Rotaie - oltre la linea di confine,
rotaie - fosforescenti nella scia,
rotaie - inargentate dalla brina,
e domattina
ti pianterò nel cuore una canzone,
ti pianterò nel cuore una canzone,
ti pianterò nel cuore una canzone.

U2
SONGWRITERS: ADAM

COUNTRY: IRELAND

"Beautiful Day"
is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the first track on their tenth studio
album, All That You Can't Leave Behind(2000), and was released as the album's lead
single on 9 October 2000. The song was a commercial success, helping launch the
album to multi-platinum status, and is one of U2's biggest hits to date.
Like many tracks from All That You Can't Leave
Behind, "Beautiful Day" harkens back to the group's past sound. The
tone of the Edge's guitar was a subject of debate amongst the band members, as
they disagreed on whether he should use a sound similar to that from their
early career in the 1980s. The band's lead vocalist Bono explained that the
upbeat track is about losing everything but still finding joy in what one has.
The song received positive reviews, and it became the
band's 14th number-one single in their native Ireland, fourth number-one in the
United Kingdom, and their first number-one in the Netherlands. It also topped
the charts in Australia, Canada, Finland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Scotland and
Spain and reached the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden
and Switzerland. The song peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot
100 in the United States, the band's highest position since "Discothèque"
in 1997.
In 2001, the song won
three Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Rock
Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony.
The group has played "Beautiful Day" at every one of their concerts
since the song's live debut on the Elevation Tour in 2001.
U2 are an Irish rock band
from Dublin, formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono(lead vocals and rhythm
guitar), the Edge(lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton(bass
guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr.(drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk,
U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an
anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's effects-based
guitar textures. Their
lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and
sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged
several ambitious and elaborate tours over their career.
The band formed as
teenagers while attending Mount Temple Comprehensive School, when they had
limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records
and released their debut album, Boy(1980). Subsequent work such as their first
UK number-one album, War(1983), and the singles "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" helped establish U2's reputation as
a politically and socially conscious group. By the mid-1980s, they had become
renowned globally for their live act, highlighted by their performance at Live
Aid in 1985. The group's fifth album, The Joshua Tree(1987), made them
international superstars and was their greatest critical and commercial
success. Topping music charts around the world, it produced their only
number-one singles in the US to date: "With or Without You" and
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
Facing creative stagnation
and a backlash following their documentary/double album, Rattle and Hum (1988),
U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s through a new musical direction and
public image. Beginning with their acclaimed seventh album, Achtung Baby(1991),
and the multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour, the band integrated influences from alternative
rock, electronic dance music, and industrial music into their sound, and
embraced a more ironic, flippant image. This experimentation continued through
their ninth album, Pop (1997), and the PopMart Tour, which were mixed
successes. U2 regained critical and commercial favour with the records All That
You Can't Leave Behind(2000) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb(2004), which
established a more conventional, mainstream sound for the group. Their U2 360
Tour of 2009–2011 set records for the highest-attended and highest-grossing
concert tour in history. The group most recently released the companion albums Songs
of Innocence(2014) and Songs of Experience(2017), the former of which received
criticism for its pervasive, no-cost release through the iTunes Store.
U2 have released 14 studio
albums and are one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold an
estimated 150–170 million records worldwide. They have won 22 Grammy Awards,
more than any other band, and in 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked U2
at number 22 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Throughout
their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human
rights and social justice causes, including Amnesty International, Jubilee 2000,
the ONE/DATA campaigns, Product Red, War Child, and Music Rising.
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by clouds
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day.

IN MY BEDROOM
LYNN WHITE
SONGWRITER: lynn white TRANSCRIBER: SOLEDAD MCKINNON
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: at her best
LABEL: Columbia records
GENRE: blues
YEAR: 1996
Joy Lynn White(born July
24, 1961) is an American country music singer-songwriter. White was born in
Arkansas but raised in Mishawaka, Indiana. Signed to Columbia Records in 1992,
she released her debut album Between Midnight & Hindsight that same
year. In 1993, she was nominated for Top New Female Vocalist at the Academy of
Country Music Awards, but lost to Michelle Wright. A critical favorite,
reviewer Alanna Nash once described White as "a fiery redhead with a
wild-and-wounded delivery and an attitude that says she’s not to be
ignored." The Dixie Chicks covered both "Cold Day in July" from
White's first album and "Tonight the Heartache's on Me" from
her Wild Love album.
At Her Best contains
13 (this time lucky) of Lynn White's sauciest tracks. There is straight, unapologetic
southern soul on every cut. A medley of "Slow and Easy"/"Take Me
to the Mountain" gets the disc off and flying.
Memphis soul and blues
diva Lynn White possessed the kind of subtle, dulcet voice rare in a field
typically dominated by more gritty singers. Born August 6, 1953 in Mobile,
Alabama, White was six years old when she began singing in church, and began
her professional career during the late '70s, making her debut in 1981 with Am
I Too Much Woman for You. A year later, she recorded the single "I Don't
Ever Want to See Your Face Again" for the tiny Sho Me label; the record
made its way to legendary producer Willie Mitchell (best known for his work
with Al Green), who reissued it on his Waylo Records imprint and soon after
brought White in for a studio session. She remained with Waylo for the duration
of the 1980s, but with the new decade formed her own label, Chelsea, and
released The New Me in 1990. Home Girl followed in 1991, and two years later White
returned with Cheatin'..
