Wake me up when september ends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io5HclAtnJY

Pues esta semana había pensado en una canción de mi queridísimo Bruce Springsteen pero al fijarme en la letra escrita me ha parecido bastante difícil así que vamos a esperar un poco.
Esta canción de Green Day, aunque yo creo que es triste, me ha parecido muy adecuada para esta semana porque es bastante fácil, bien vocalizada y teniendo una semana cortita y en la podemos irnos de puente y esas cosas esta canción está bien.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

True blue


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ9SPAQ7jUU





Esta es una canción escrita e interpretada por Madonna para su tercer album en 1986, y además es una canción muy apropiada para repasar algunos pasados de los verbos.
Look de verbs. Are they regular or irregular?  What's the past simple and de past participle of the irregular ones?



I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's

Chorus:
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you

I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

chorus twice

Intermediate:
No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
(repeat)

True, so if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

intermediate
chorus

'Cause it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
repeat

One

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOEGSYDA6Go


Esta semana, atendiendo la petición de mi primera seguidora, aunque todavía no haya constancia de ello, yo lo sé, ;) ... vamos a aprendernos esta canción de U2. Grandes en directo este grupo. Creo que es una canción más fácil que la de la semana pasada a pesar de durar más de cuatro minutos.




IS IT GETTING BETTER
OR DO YOU FEEL THE SAME
WILL IT MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU
NOW YOU GOT SOMEONE TO BLAME

YOU SAY
ONE LOVE
ONE LIFE
WHEN IT´S ONE NEED
IN THE NIGHT
IT´S ONE LOVE
WE GET TO SHARE IT
IT LEAVES YOU BABY
IF YOU DON´T CARE FOR IT

DID I DISAPPOINT YOU?
OR LEAVE A BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH?
YOU ACT LIKE YOU NEVER HAD LOVE
AND YOU WANT ME TO GO WITHOUT

WELL IT´S TOO LATE
TONIGHT
TO DRAG THA PAST OUT
INTO THE LIGHT
WE´RE ONE
BUT WE´RE NOT THE SAME
WE GET TO CARRY EACH OTHER
CARRY EACH OTHER
ONE

HAVE YOU COME HERE FOR FORGIVENESS
HAVE YOU COME TOR RAISE THE DEAD
HAVEW YOU COME HERE TO PLAY JESUS
TO THE LEPERS IN YOUR HEAD
DID I ASK TOO MUCH
MORE THAN A LOT
YOU GAVE ME NOTHING
NOW IT´S ALL I GOT
WE´RE ONE
BUT WE´RE NOT THE SAME
WE HURT EACH OTHER
THEN WE DO IT AGAIN

YOU SAY
LOVE IS A TEMPLE
LOVE A HIGHER LAW
LOVE IS A TEMPLE
LOVE THE HIGHER LAW
YOU ASK ME TO ENTER
BUT THEN YOU MAKE ME CRAWL
AND I CAN´T BE HOLDING ON
TO WHAT YOU GOT
WHEN ALL YOU GOT IS HURT

ONE LOVE
ONE BLOOD
ONE LIFE
YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU SHOULD

ONE LIFE
WITH EACH OTHER
SISTERS
BROTHERS

ONE LIFE
BUT WE´RE NOT THE SAME
WE GET TO CARRY EACH OTHER
CARRY EACH OTHER

ONE

ONE

Somebody That I Used to Know

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne5CFz0cSAo


La canción de esta semana es muy actual, se oye en la radio casi todos los días, y los que hacemos Body Balance la tenemos en el track 4 de la coreografía 58. A mi me encanta. Creo que va a resultar un pelín difícil aprenderla ¡no sé, me da la sensación! así que hay que tomarla con ganas. Let's go!



Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember


You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So, when we found that we could not make sense

Well, you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over


But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need, that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way, reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know


But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need, that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Somebody, I used to know

Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody, I used to know

Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know


I used to know

That I used to know

I used to know

Somebody
