OOC - Even More Music!

[governmentninja]

So, as promised, here's part duex of my music list.


1. Carlos Santana - Victory is One, Adouma, and Freedom -- Victory is One is easily Carlos Santana at his very best, none of that crossover-pop shit there. The other two songs are Carlos Santana being Carlos Santana, and sounding good while doing so.

2. Dave Burbeck Quartet - Take Five -- Just some damn good jazz.

3. Dave Koz - Love Is On the Way and Together Again -- Both are fairly light jazz pieces. Good for when you're reading, or concentrating on something else and want something nice in the background.

4. George Benson - One on One -- More smooth jazz for your listening pleasure.

5. Grover Washington Jr. - Mr. Magic and Moonstreams -- Mr. Magic is an upbeat jazz piece, while Moonstreams is a very somber piece.

6. Van Morrison - Moondance -- A classic hit.

7. Al Green - Love and Happiness -- Another classic.

8. Beautiful South - Les Yeux Ouverts -- The song "Dream A Little Dream of Me" sung in french. At least, I think it is... I never bothered to have it translated, but it has the same melody.

9. Earth, Wind, and Fire - Shining Star -- More classic soul/funk.

10. Stevie Wonder - Superstition -- For the record, I liked this song long before it was bastardized by that levi's commercial.

11. Metallica - Light at the End of the Tunnel -- One of the few Metallica songs I liked.

12. Jeff Redd - You Called and Told Me -- This guy only had two songs, this is the most popular.

13. Motorhead - Line in the Sand and Our Lady Peace - Whatever -- Some more metal for ya. You can thank the WWE for getting me to like these songs.

14. Savage Garden - Break Me -- I kinda find this song fitting for Leon and Ada.

15. 112 f Ma$e - Love Me -- You will love this song

16. Az Yet - Hard to Say -- A "please don't break-up with me!" song, but damn these boys can sing.

17. Joe - All the Things -- Pure. Sex.

18. Carlos Santana & Dave Matthews - Love of My Life -- An upbeat love song.

19. Carlos Santana & Musiq Soulchild - Nothing at All -- All about the regrets you have when you realize you done fucked up a good thing.

20. And just to make it an even twenty, Mary J Blidge - No More Drama.

Hoorah! A chance to dust off my rusty French and put it to good use!

So here are the lyrics to Les Yeux Ouverts (The Open Eyes):

Ce souvenir, je te le rends,
Des souvenirs, tu sais j'en ai tellement,
Puisqu'on rêva de jours errants,
Pas la peine de changer trop.

Ce souvenir, je te le prends
Des souvenirs, comme ça j'en ai tout le temps,
Si par erreur la vie nous sépare,
J'le sortirai d'mon tiroir.

J'rêve les yeux ouverts,
Ça me fait du bien,
Ça ne va pas plus loin,
J'vais pas voir derriere,
Puisque j'aime bien,
Vivement demain.

Un dernier verre du sherry,
Du sherry, mon amant, quand je m'ennuie,
Tous les jours se ressemblent à présent,
Tu me manques terriblement.

And here is a rough English translation:

This memory, I return it to you.
These memories, you know I have so many,
Since we dreamed of passing days,
Not the penalty to change too much (No need to change too much).

This memory, I take it from you.
These memories, you know I have all the time,
If by error life separates us,
I get it out of my drawer.

I dream with open eyes,
That does me good,
It doesn't go any farther,
I will not look back,
Since I very much like,
Lively tomorrow.

One last glass of Sherry,
Sherry, my lover, when I am bored,
All the days look the same,
You lack me terribly (I miss you so much).
