Tu che mi bevi nel
caffè
Tu in ogni uomo vedi me
Tu che mi porti via con te
Tu che mi pensi in ogni via
A casa, a scuola, in filovia
Tu che non puoi
restare sola
Tu che telefoni ogni ora
E poi non dici una parola
Innamorata, innamorata, innamorata
Innamorata, innamorata, innamorata
Io che ero il primo
in compagnia
E la più bella era la mia
Dicevo, "Donna, tu sei mia"
È stato un caso oppure un gioco
E sei arrivata a poco a poco
Tu col tuo sguardo un po' inocente
Tu che mi leggi nella mente
Senza di te non sono niente
Innamorato, innamorato, innamorato
Innamorato, innamorato, innamorato
Le corse pazze e poi
un fiore
Poi abbracciarsi in ascensore
Aver la casa per due ore
E poi nascosti, anima mia
Poter sentire che sei mia
Sei bella quando non
lo sai
Quando vergogna non ne hai
Grazie per quello che mi dai
Innamorati, innamorati, innamorati
Innamorati, innamorati, innamorati.
YOU’RE

WILBURY TWIST
THE TRAVELING WILBURYS
SONGWRITERS: BOB DYLON; TOM PETTY & GEORGE
HARRISON
COUNTRY: U. K. X U. S. A.
ALBUM: THE TRAVELING WILBURYS, VOL. 3
LABEL: WILBURY RECORDS
GENRE: TWIST
YEAR: 1990
Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 is the second and
final studio album by the Traveling Wilburys,
a group consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylanand Tom Petty. It was
released on October 29, 1990 as the follow-up to their 1988 debut, Traveling
Wilburys Vol. 1. The band members again adopted pseudonyms for
their contributions, using new names from the fictitious Wilbury brothers.
Though it was their second release, the album
was mischievously titled Vol. 3 by George Harrison.
According to Jeff Lynne,
"That was George's idea. He said, 'Let's confuse the buggers.'"
As the dynamics within the band had shifted
with Roy Orbison's death,
the four remaining members all adopted new Wilbury pseudonyms: Spike (George Harrison),
Clayton (Jeff Lynne), Muddy
(Tom Petty) and Boo
(Bob Dylan). With Harrison and Lynne producing
again, the sessions were undertaken in the spring of 1990. An
additional track, a cover of "Nobody's
Child", was recorded and released in June
1990 as a charity single in aid of Olivia Harrison's
Romanian Angel Appeal. The song was also the title track of a multi-artist
fundraising album compiled by the Harrisons, Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal.
Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 was dedicated to the memory of "Lefty
Wilbury" (Roy Orbison).
Released in October 1990, the album was less
positively received than Vol. 1, yet still saw a fair measure of success. In
the United States, "She's My Baby" (with guest guitarist Gary Moore) and
"Inside Out" became radio hits, charting at number 2 album rock and
number 16 album rock, respectively. The album peaked at number 14 in the UK and
number 11 in the US, where it was certified platinum by the RIAA.
Comparing the two Wilburys albums, a reviewer
in The New York Timeswrote in November 1990: "The superstar pop group stays close to
50's and 60's rock roots, drawing on blues, doo-wop, rockabilly and Buddy Holly. But
their second album is faster, jokier, lighter and meaner than the first." Rolling Stonedescribed the blending of the four participants' musical styles as
"seemingly effortless", and said that the album showed they continued
to enjoy their collaboration. In the years following Vol. 3, there was
speculation about further Wilbury releases. Since Harrison was viewed as the de
facto leader of the group, his death in November 2001 ended the possibility of
any future projects.

The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed

lead singer Niall Quinn, guitarist Noel Hogan,
bassist Mike Hogan, and drummer Fergal Lawler. Quinn was replaced as lead
singer by Dolores O'Riordanin 1990, and they changed their name to the Cranberries. The band
classified themselves as an alternative rockgroup, but incorporated aspects of indie rock, jangle pop, folk rock, post-punk, and pop rockinto
their sound.
The Cranberries rose to international fame in
the 1990s with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?,
which became a commercial success. Some of the band's hit singles include
"Dreams"(1992),
"Linger"(1993),
"Zombie"
(1994), and "Salvation"
(1996). Five of the band's albums reached the Top 20 on the Billboard 200chart, and eight of their singles reached the Top 20 on the Modern Rock Trackschart.
In early 2009, after a six-year hiatus, the
Cranberries reunited and began a North Americantour followed by shows in Latin America and Europe. The band's sixth
studio album, Roses,
was released in February 2012, and its seventh, Something Else,
followed in April 2017. On 15 January 2018, O'Riordan was found dead of
drowning in a London hotel room. The Cranberries confirmed in September 2018
that they would not continue as a band; their final album, In the End,
was released in April 2019 and they disbanded afterward.
The
Cranberries rank as one of the best-selling alternative acts of the 1990s,
having sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide as of 2019. They
have received an MTV Europe
Music Award, a World Music Award, an
International Group nomination at the Brit Awards,
a Junonomination, a
Juno Award win, an Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement, and a BMI Awardwith a Special Citation of Achievement. In the End earned them a Grammynomination for
Best Rock Album. With
the video for their song "Zombie", the Cranberries became the first
Irish band to reach one billion views on YouTube.
"Ode to My Family" is a song
recorded by the Irishband the Cranberries. It was
released on 21 November 1994 as the second singlefrom their second studio album No Need to Argue. The song was a hit in Oceania and
several European countries, peaking at number one in Iceland, and number four
in France, and number five in Australia. In 2017,
the song was released as an acoustic, stripped down version on the band's Something Elsealbum.
