La canzone che mi passa per la testa

[Fenice]

I Goo Goo Dolls piacciono anche a me.
Che te ne pare di questa versione?

Grande Fenice!!!è il video ufficiale!Decisamente migliore!Io con You Tube ci litigo spesso purtroppo!Sono contenta che piacciano anche a te!!Un altro interesse da condividere!

Offtopic: Il loro prossimo album dovrebbe intitolarsi "Something for the rest of us" e dovrebbe uscire nel 2010!

Quando ero ancora una teenager ero fissata con una canzone dei Goo Goo Dolls che ora mi hai fatto venire in mente e continuo ad ascoltare.
Si tratta della famosissima Iris, colonna sonora del film City of Angels con Nicolas Cage (che mi piace molto) e Meg Ryan (brava anche lei).
Poi nel 2007 hanno preso parte alla colonna sonora del film Transformers con la canzone Before It's Too Late, on male, anche se non mi piace come Iris.
Riporto video ufficiale e testo di entrambe le canzoni.

Testo della canzone Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Testo della canzone Before It's Too Late

I wander through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
and I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

And

hold on before it's too late
We'll run till we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

and the risk that might break you
Is the one that would save
A life you don't live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real 'til it's gone

So live like you mean it
Love 'til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real 'til it's gone

It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life

Quando ero ancora una teenager ero fissata con una canzone dei Goo Goo Dolls che ora mi hai fatto venire in mente e continuo ad ascoltare.
Si tratta della famosissima Iris...
Poi nel 2007 hanno preso parte alla colonna sonora del film Transformers con la canzone Before It's Too Late

Si, indubbiamente queste sono molto famose... Tra l'altro il frontman dei Goo Goo Dolls - John Rzeznik - ha partecipato alla colonna sonora del film "Il pianeta del tesoro" con la canzone "I'm still here" (che nella versione italiana, "Ci sono anch'io", è interpretata da Max Pezzali... e purtroppo perde enormemente! ), molto bella anche questa! Ecco il video e il testo:

I'm still Here
"I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want... made of pain
And what do you think you'd understand
I'm a boy – No, I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I'm not afraid
And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah the world is still sleepin’
While I keep on dreamin’ for me
And their words are just whispers and lies
That I'll never believe
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say I’ll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here
I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here"

Comunque la carriera dei Goo Goo Dolls è iniziata nel lontano 1987...e negli album che hanno prodotto ci sono canzoni davvero belle..come ad esempio "Name" (che fa parte dell'album "A boy named Goo" del 1995...che io naturalmente possiedo e che stamattina ho riascoltato!) brano stupendo...Ecco a voi video (non quello ufficiale - non l'ho trovato nei miei litigi con You Tube! , è una versione live...) e testo:

Name
"And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
Reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are come back down,
And I won't tell em your name"

Offtopic: Che bel pezzo di ragazzo John in questa versione live...almeno per i miei gusti!

Come avrai notato dai video che posto, non sempre la mia scelta cade su YouTube. Tra i BBCode su RobboR ci sono [youtube][/youtube] [googlevideo][/googlevideo] [mtv][/mtv] quindi possiamo incorporare tranquillamente anche i video da Google Video e MTV.
Ti consiglio di cercare i video qui: scrivi nome della canzone e del gruppo/cantante e scegli.

Scritto ciò, questo è il video ufficiale di Name cantata dai Goo Goo Dolls.

Ci sono anch'io di Max Pezzali non mi dispiace: si adatta bene al film italiano.
