       The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, partly due to Morrison's lyrics and voice, along with his erratic stage persona. The group is widely regarded as an important figure of the era's counterculture.
         The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, itself a reference to a quote by William Blake. After signing with Elektra Records in 1966, the Doors with Morrison released six albums in five years, some of which are considered among the greatest of all time, including their self-titled debut (1967), Strange Days(1967), and L.A. Woman (1971). They were one of the most successful bands during that time and by 1972 the Doors had sold over 4 million albums domestically and nearly 8 million singles.
         Morrison died in uncertain circumstances in 1971. The band continued as a trio until disbanding in 1973. They released three more albums in the 1970s, one of which featured earlier recordings by Morrison, and over the decades reunited on stage in various configurations. In 2002, Manzarek, Krieger and Ian Astbury of the Cult on vocals started performing as "The Doors of the 21st Century". Densmore and the Morrison estate successfully sued them over the use of the band's name. After a short time as Riders on the Storm, they settled on the name Manzarek–Krieger and toured until Manzarek's death in 2013.
     The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold LPs. According to the RIAA, they have sold 34 million albums in the United States and over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. The Doors have been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including Rolling Stone, which ranked them 41st on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". In 1993, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Well show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh don't ask why
Oh don't ask why
 
Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh don't ask why
Oh don't ask why
 
For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
 
Oh moon of Alabama
We now, must say goodbye
We've lost, our good old Mama
And must have whiskey
Oh, you know why
 
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost, our good old Mama
And must have whiskey
Oh, you know why.

Esta banda está principalmente conformada por Jesús Navarro(Voz principal y Piano), Julio Ramírez(Guitarra y Bajo) y Gilberto «Bibi» Marín(Guitarra y Batería). Los primeros 5 álbumes de la banda mexicana han sido de puras Baladas románticas, sin embargo, desde principios de 2015 sus últimas producciones abarcan el reguetón y el pop latino.
         El grupo lanzó su álbum debut homónimo en 2005 que incluía los sencillos «Yo quisiera», «Noviembre sin ti» y «Qué vida la mía». El segundo álbum de estudio de Reik, Secuencia, fue lanzado el 12 de diciembre de 2006, anclado por el sencillo «invierno». El 30 de septiembre de 2008, Reik lanzó su tercer álbum de estúdio Un día más, por el cual la banda ganó el premio. Los siguientes lanzamientos de la banda fueron Peligro en 2012 y Des/Amor en 2016, cuando presentaron un sonido más electrónico.
     Sintiéndose frustrados con el estancamiento percibido del pop latino después del lanzamiento de Des/Amor, la banda hizo una transición de su sonido y comenzó a colaborar con artistas de reguetón. Desde entonces, la banda ha lanzado sencillos tales como «Ya me enteré» com Nicky Jam, «Me niego» con Ozuna y Wisin; y «Amigos con derechos» con Maluma. Estos sencillos se han incluido en numerosas listas de Billboard y. También ha colaborardo con el grupo de K-pop coreano Super Junior en la canción «One more time (Otra vez)».
Me hace falta muy poco ya ha pasado algún tiempo
Y ya no quiero verte, ya no estoy tan loco
Porque, de beso en beso, ha logrado curarse mi corazón roto
Hoy quisiera decirte que para olvidar me hace falta muy poco
 
Yo sigo con mi vida
Y a pesar de lo malo ya le vi lo bueno a tu despedida
Y aunque te piense a diario, pa' mí ya esta historia quedó concluida
Si ayer no te rogué mucho menos ahora que hallé la salida
 
Me hace falta muy poco
Para al fin olvidar este amor, que no es tuyo ni mío tampoco
Y si errar es de humanos, contigo entendí que también me equivoco
Y me siento confiado, a veces voy a verte y ya no me provoco
 
Me hace falta muy poco
Y de tanto decirlo ya casi me creo mi propia mentira
Tengo que confesarte que para olvidarte y cerrar esta herida
No hace falta muy poco
Me hace falta una vida
 
Ya intenté hacerme el flerte
Ya intenté hacerme el macho, me puse la máscara de hombre valiente
Y aunque muerda mis labios, me sale tu nombre por entre los dientes
Pero a ti ni te importa, tú matas callada como una serpiente
 
Y que sigas tranquila
Mientras yo sigo ahogando la pena que siento en un mar de tequila
Yo seré ese borracho que cuenta tu historia de esquina en esquina
Porque pa'l mal de amores no existe la cura ni la medicina
 
Me hace falta muy poco
Para al fin olvidar este amor, que no es tuyo ni mío tampoco
Y si errar es de humanos, contigo aprendí que también me equivoco
Y me siento confiado, a veces puedo verte y ya no me provoco
 
Me hace falta muy poco
Y de tanto decirlo ya casi me creo mi propia mentira
Tengo que confesarte que para olvidarte y cerrar esta herida
No hace falta tan poco
No hace falta tan poco
Me hace falta una vida.

Um homem também chora
Menina morena
Também deseja colo
Palavras amenas
Precisa de carinho
Precisa de ternura
Precisa de um abraço
Da própria candura
 
Guerreiros são pessoas
São fortes, são frágeis
Guerreiros são meninos
No fundo do peito
Precisam de um descanso
Precisam de um remanso
Precisam de um sonho
Que os tornem refeitos
 
É triste ver este homem
Guerreiro menino
Com a barra de seu tempo
Por sobre seus ombros
Eu vejo que ele berra
Eu vejo que ele sangra
A dor que traz no peito
Pois ama e ama
 
Um homem se humilha
Se castram seu sonho
Seu sonho é sua vida
E a vida é trabalho
E sem o seu trabalho
Um homem não tem honra
E sem a sua honra
Se morre, se mata
Não dá pra ser feliz
Não dá pra ser feliz.

TUMBLING DICE

THE ROLLING STONES
SONGWRITERS: KEITH RICHARDS & MICK JAGGER
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: EXILE ON MAIN ST.
LABEL: ROLLING STONES RECORDS
GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL
YEAR: 1972
 
     The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty, heavier-driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up consisted of vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. During their formative years, Jones was the primary leader: he assembled the band, named it, and drove their sound and image. After Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write their own songs. Jagger and Richards became the primary creative force behind the band, alienating Jones, who had developed a drug addiction that interfered with his ability to contribute meaningfully.
      Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, also being identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. They then found greater success with their own material as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965), "Get Off of My Cloud"(1965) and "Paint It Black"(1966) became international Nº 1 hits. Aftermath(1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered the most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rock on Their Satanic Majesties Request. They returned to their roots with such hits as "Jumpin' Jack Flash"(1968) and "Honky Tonk Women"(1969), and albums such as Beggars Banquet(1968), featuring "Sympathy for the Devil", and Let It Bleed(1969), featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed was the first of five consecutive Nº 1 albums in the UK.
    Exile on Main St. is the 10th British and 12th American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 12 May 1972 by Rolling Stones Records. Recording began in 1969 in England during sessions for Sticky Fingers and continued in mid-1971 at a rented villa in the South of France named Nellcôte while the band lived abroad as tax exiles.
       Working with a mobile recording studio, the loose and unorganised Nellcôte sessions went on for hours into the night, with personnel varying greatly from day to day. The recording was completed with overdub sessions at Los Angeles's Sunset Sound and included additional musicians such as pianist Nicky Hopkins, saxophonist Bobby Keys, drummer Jimmy Miller and horn player Jim Price. The resulting music was rooted in blues, rock and roll, swing, country and gospel, while the lyrics explored themes related to hedonism, sex and time. These newly recorded tracks were combined with some tracks recorded at earlier sessions from 1969 to 1971, resulting in the Stones' first double album.
         Exile on Main St. contains frequently performed concert staples and was a number one charting album in six countries, including the UK, US, and Canada. It spawned the hit songs "Happy", which featured a rare lead vocal from Keith Richards, country music ballad "Sweet Virginia", and worldwide top-ten hit "Tumbling Dice". A remastered and expanded version of the album was released in 2010 featuring a bonus disc with 10 new tracks. Unusual for a re-release, it also charted highly at the time of its release, reaching number one in the UK and number two in the US.
       The album was originally met with mixed reviews before a positive critical reassessment during the 1970s. It has since been viewed by many critics as the Rolling Stones' best work and a culmination of a string of the band's highly critically successful albums, following the releases of Beggars Banquet(1968), Let It Bleed (1969) and Sticky Fingers(1971). Rolling Stone magazine has ranked Exile on Main St. number 7 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003 and 2012, and dropping to number 14 in the 2020 edition, the highest Rolling Stones album ranked on the list. In 2012, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the band's fourth album to be inducted.
Mmm yeah! (Woo, woo)
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
Make me burn the candle right down
But, baby, baby, don't need no jewels in my crown
 
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
Baby, got no flavor, fever in the funk house now
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know you know the duece is still wild
 
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't you see the time flashin' by
 
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
 
Baby, I can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin'
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice
