DEEP PURPLE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCI8sy4eI4Y&feature=related

Si en el apartado dedicado a Led Zeppelin incidíamos en que fueron los creadores del heavy metal, de los Deep Purple podemos asegurar que contribuyeron a darle prestigio al Hard Rock. En especial entre 1970 y 1976, crearon obras maestras pletóricas de fuerza, volumen, potencia y calidad. Albumes como "In Rock", "Machine Head" o "Burn" contribuyeron decisivamente a establecer el Hard Rock como filosofía musical. Por si todo éso fuera poco, crearon el himno más reconocido del género: "Smoke On The Water" (casi nada); con unas pocas notas, el riff más famoso de la historia (algo alejado de los cánones del Heavy, incluso con una marcada cadencia psicodélica) se convierte en la canción emblemática del Hard de los 70 (y hoy en día del "air guitar"). Con Smoke on the Water, los Purple se consagraron como leyenda; aunque el tema aparecía originalmente en Machine head, en aquellos años todos lo conocimos en la versión del megaclásico "Made in Japan", considerado por mi humilde persona como el mejor disco de Rock en directo de la Historia: Ian Gillan y Ritchie Blackmore en plena forma. Si tenéis el Made in Japan, deteneros en Strange Kind of Woman y si no lo tenéis no sé qué coño estais esperando. Deep Purple se compuso de músicos extraordinarios que en los 80 y 90 estarían a la vanguardia del heavy en muchas facetas: Ritchie Blackmore fundó Rainbow, también estuvieron Glenn Hughes, el grandioso Ian Gillan (para mí, la mejor voz de la historia del Heavy), Roger Glover e incluso el que años después sería la voz de Whitesnake, David Coverdale. En fín, Deep Purple es toda una institución a la que el Hard Rock debe muchísimo prestigio e incluso su supervivencia en los años chungos. En el Sitio, además de Smoke on the Water, pinchamos la psicodélica Hush (también en la marchosa versión de los Kula Shaker).

  1. Hush

    La, lalala, lalala, lalala... la, lalala, lalala, lalala

    I got a certan little girl she's on my mind
    No doubt about it she looks so fine
    She's the best girl that I ever had
    Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

    La, lalala, lalala, lalala... la, lalala, lalala, lalala

    Hush, hush
    I thought I heard her calling my name now
    Hush, hush
    She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
    Hush, hush
    Thought I heard her calling my name now
    Hush, hush
    I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

    (Love, love)
    They got it early in the morning
    (Love, love)
    They got it late in the evening
    (Love, love)
    Well, I want that, need it
    (Love, love)
    Oh, I gotta gotta have it

    She's got loving like quicksand
    Only took one touch of her hand
    To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
    That I can't eat and I can't sleep

    La, lalala, lalala, lalala... la, lalala, lalala, lalala

    Listen
    Hush, hush
    Thought I heard her calling my name now
    Hush, hush
    She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
    Hush, hush
    Thought I heard her calling my name now
    Hush, hush
    I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

    (Love, love)

  3. SMOKE ON THE WATER

    WE ALL CAME OUT TO MONTREUX
    ON THE LAKE GENEVA SHORELINE
    TO MAKE RECORDS WITH A MOBILE
    WE DIDN´T HAVE MUCH TIME
    FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS
    WERE AT THE BEST PLACE AROUND
    BUT SOME STUPID WITH A FLARE GUN
    BURNED THE PLACE TO THE GROUND

    SMOKE ON THE WATER, FIRE IN THE SKY
    SMOKE ON THE WATER

    THEY BURNED DOWN THE GAMBLING HOUSE
    IT DIED WITH AN AWFUL SOUND
    FUNKY CLAUDE WAS RUNNING IN AND OUT
    Letras4U.com » letras traducidas al español
    PULLING KIDS OUT THE GROUND
    WHEN IT ALL WAS OVER
    WE HAD TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE
    BUT SWISS TIME WAS RUNNING OUT
    IT SEEMED THAT WE WOULD LOSE THE RACE

    SMOKE ON THE WATER, FIRE IN THE SKY

    WE ENDED UP AT THE GRAND HOTEL
    IT WAS EMPTY COLD AND BARE
    BUT WITH THE ROLLING TRUCK STONES THING JUST OUTSIDE
    MAKING OUR MUSIC THERE
    WITH A FEW RED LIGHTS AND A FEW OLD BEDS
    WE MAKE A PLACE TO SWEAT
    NO MATTER WHAT WE GET OUT OF THIS
    I KNOW WE´LL NEVER FORGET
    SMOKE ON THE WATER, FIRE IN THE SKY

  5. THE GYPSY

    Tell me gypsy can you see me
    In your crystal ball
    I'm asking you what can I do
    My back's against the wall
    And I can't hold on much longer
    So I've come to you my friend
    For now my life seems at an end

    I came to see you once before
    One hundred years ago
    You took my hand and broke the spell
    That should have let me go
    But my years have gone so slowly
    So I'm here again my friend
    For now my life is at an end

  6. joder, es que smoke on the water cansa a dios. el primer riff que tocas en tu vida es este precisamente..lo que me faltaba, escucharlo por la noche en un garito. menos mal que aquí no lo pone mucho el Alfonsito. Los que vamos al Sitio, te lo agradecemos.

  7. Sí, prefiero pinchar otras antes que Smoke on the water (por lo repetitivo, eh?, que es un temazo). El Hush cae varias veces, y -en ocasiones- caerá el Strange Kind of Woman

  8. Strange Kind Of Woman

    There once was a woman
    A strange kind of woman
    The kind that gets written down in history
    Her name was Nancy
    Her face was nothing fancy
    She left a trail of happiness and misery
    I loved her
    Everybody loved her
    She loved everyone and gave them good return
    I tried to take her
    I even tried to break her
    She said, I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, yes I have
    She looked like a raver
    But I could never please her
    On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
    I couldn't get her
    But things got better, she said
    Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
    Ooh, my soul, I love you
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, yes I have
    She finally said she loved me
    I wed her in a hurry
    No more callers and I glow with pride
    I'm dreaming
    I feel like screaming
    I won my woman just before she died
    I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, ha ha ha
    Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman, yeah
    She was so fat
    She was the worst thing you've ever seen
    Ooh, my soul, I love you, baby

  11. Flight Of The Rat

    Spread the word around
    The rat is leaving town
    The message is a song
    The misery is gone

    Once I had a dream
    To sing before the queen
    She didn't want to know
    She wouldn't see the show

    What a fright
    I couldn't do it right
    Oh what a night

    Mystic demons fly
    All about the sk
    With memories of a clown
    The saddest show in town

    When I was seventeen
    Me mother said to me
    Be careful what you touch
    You shouldn't take so much

    I blew my mind
    She was so kind
    I could have cried

    In my mind
    I had to fin
    A kind of new way
    Of being oh so cool
    Like a blue blooded
    Well studded
    English fool

    Speak about the past
    Times are changing fast
    Once I was so weak
    I couldn't even speak

    Shaking put a curse
    Nothing could be worse
    Walking through the door
    Who could ask for more

    Now I'm free
    And I can see
    That I am me

    Spread the word around
    The rat is leaving town
    The message is a song
    The misery is gone

    Shaking out a curse
    Nothing could be worse
    Walking through the door
    Who could ask for more

    Now I'm free
    And I can see
    That I am me

    Please stay away
