I walk along those city streets
You used to walk along with me
And every step I take recalls
How much in love we used to be
 
How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Whoa-ooo-ohhh-oh
 
If you should find you miss
The sweet and tender love
We used to share
Just go back to the places
Where we used to go
And I'll be there
 
How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Whoa-ooo-ohhh-oh
Whoa-oh-ooo-ohhh
 
If you should find you miss
The sweet and tender love
We used to share
Just come back to the places
Where we used to go
And I'll be there
 
How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
When there is
When there is
When, there, is
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me.

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.

La ardiente percusión y la voz de Raymer Olalde y Dayron Gallardo marcan las actuaciones con fuego cubano. El saxofonista de jazz latino Aldo Salvent aporta una electrizante imprevisibilidad a cada canción. Steve Roitstein fusiona estos elementos con una base de ritmos atrevidos e inolvidables.
Le gusta andar mal vestido
porque le sale más barato
y dice que cuatro trapos
no van a cambiar su estilo
Y camina a lena cuadra
para llegar a su trabajo
llega echo un estropajo
pero no gasta en la guagua
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
 
Para no gastar corriente
por la noche usa una vela
aunque lea una novela
aunque acabe con los lentes
Los zapatos no los bota
aunque estén todos descosidos
Y usa abrigo para el frío
porque el precio lo provoca
 
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
 
Si lo ves engurruñao'
es que no ve muy bien de lejos
pero nada de pañuelo
que el gritarle está muy caro
Y si ha pasar por tú lado
se comporta como un mudo
y es que está ahorrando el saludo
que cree que le cuesta caro
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos.

ONE OF THESE DAYS

PINK FLOYD
SONGWRITERS: DAVID GILMOR; ROGER WATERS; RICHARD WRIGHT & NICK MASON
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: MEDDLE
LABEL: HARVEST
GENRE: ALTERNATIVE ROCK
YEAR: 1971
 
                Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining a following as a psychedelic pop group, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. Pink Floyd were one of the first British psychedelia groups, and are credited with influencing genres such as neo-progressive rock and ambient music.
         Pink Floyd were founded by students Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalista David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the band's peak of critical and commercial success with the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979). The Waters-written musical film based on The Wall album, Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982), won two BAFTA Awards.
              Following personal tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd, rejoined later by Wright. The band produced two more albums—A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994)—and toured both albums before entering a long period of inactivity. In 2005, all but Barrett reunited for a one-off performance at the global awareness event Live 8. Barrett died in 2006, and Wright in 2008. The last Pink Floyd studio album, The Endless River (2014), was based on unreleased material from the Division Bell recording sessions.
          By 2013, Pink Floyd had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall are among the best-selling albums of all time, and both have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums topped US or UK record charts, and hit singles produced include "See Emily Play" (1967), "Money" (1973), the three-part composition "Another Brick in the Wall" (1979), "Not Now John" (1983), "On the Turning Away" (1987) and "High Hopes" (1994). The band also composed several film scores. They were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2008, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented Pink Floyd with the Polar Music Prize for their contribution to modern music.
              "One of These Days" is the opening track from Pink Floyd's 1971 album Meddle. The composition is instrumental except for the spoken line from drummer Nick Mason, "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces." It features double-tracked bass guitars played by David Gilmour and Roger Waters, with each bass hard panned into one channel of stereo, but one bass sound is quite muted and dull. According to Gilmour, this is because that particular instrument had old strings on it, and the roadie they had sent to get new strings for it wandered off to see his girlfriend instead. 

One of these days
I’m going to cut you into little pieces
