The Killers - When You Were Young

You sit there in your, heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he, talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you, were young

Can we climb this mountain, I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I, know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go

We're burnin' down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane, that started turnin'
When you, were young
When you, were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you, were young

They say the Devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a, little while

Woo!

(Send me)

(Oh)

You sit there in your, heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he come

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he, talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you, were young (Talks like a gentleman)
(Like you imagined when) When you, were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Duran Duran - Save A Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.

Don't save a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way.)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day.

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after. Save it til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
but fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save a prayer til the morning after

Duran Duran - Come Undone

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you was created for you

Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces

Ahh, it'll take a little time
Might take a little crime to come undone
Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real?
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces

Lost, in a snow filled sky
We'll make it alright to come undone
Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Can't ever keep from falling apart
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Duran Duran - Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy someone say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now prides gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy someone say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(Just blown away)

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
Any world is my world
Every world is our world

De Alto Cedro...


"Chan Chan" is the song I liked on the first listen. Its four simple chords (Dm, F, G, A7) and charming but nostalgic vocals were the magnet that attracted me to the world of latino music.




De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

El cariño que te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar
Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernían arena
Como sacudía el jibe
A Chan Chan le daba pena

Limpia el camino de pajas
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquél tronco que veo
Y así no puedo llegar

De alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayarí




The towns of Alto Cedro and Marcane are located in the municipality of Cueto [1] and Mayarí is a municipality and city in the Holguín Province of Cuba [2]
