Llegamos al tercer miércoles del mes de Agosto y hoy toca
presentar el segmento musical dedicado al año 1985, hace 30 años, cuando quien
escribe contaba con 22 años de edad. Para el día de hoy, he querido elegir dos
buenas canciones del recordado grupo norteamericano Survivor.

How can I
convince you what you see is real
Who am I to
blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always
reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for
granted the friend I have in you
I was living
for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on
the world, that was just my style
Now I look
into your eyes, I can see forever
The search
is over, you were with me all the while
Can we last
forever, will we fall apart
At times
it's so confusing, the questions of the heart
You followed
me through changes and patiently you'd wait
Till I came
to my senses through some miracle of fate
I was living
for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on
the world, that was just my style
Now I look
into your eyes, I can see forever
The search
is over, you were with me all the while
Now the
miles stretch out behind me, love's that I have lost
Broken
hearts lie victims of the game
Then good
luck it finally struck like lightning from the blue
Every
highway leads me back to you
Now at last
I hold you, now all is said and done
The search
has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you
ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know
for certain the man I really am
I was living
for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on
the world, that was just my style
Then I
touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search
is over, love was right before my eyes
2.- I CAN’T HOLD
BACK (Survivor).- El primer tema que se escuchó del álbum “VITAL SIGNS”, fue
precisamente “I Can’t Hold Back”,
cuyo video tuvo cierta difusión en programas musicales como “La Máquina del
Rock”. Era un buen tema con bastante ritmo, al estilo de sus previos hits. Y
recuerdo bastante el video en donde una fémina muy guapa le hacía ojitos a Jimi
Jameson, y mientras se demoraba en decidirse, al final, dejó escapar su
oportunidad. El tema fue escrito por Jim Peterik y Frankie Sullivan, y
producido por Ron Nevison, siendo lanzado como single a fines de 1984, llegando
al N° 13 en USA, según Billboard, y al N° 1 en el USA Album Rock Tracks por 3
semanas. Han pasado tres décadas y vale la pena recordar este buena canción de
Survivor y la recordada voz de Jimi Jameson.
There's a
story in my eyes
Turn the
pages of desire
Now it's
time to trade those dreams
For the rush
of passion's fire
I can feel
you tremble when we touch
And I feel
the hand of fate
Reaching out
to both of us
I've been
holding back the night
I've been
searching for a clue from you
I'm gonna
try with all my might
To make this
story line come true
Can ya feel
me tremble when we touch?
Can ya feel
the hands of fate?
Reaching out
to both of us
This love
affair can't wait
I can't hold
back, I'm on the edge
I can't hold
back
Your voice
explodes inside my head
I can't hold
back, I won't back down
Girl, it's
too late to turn back now
Another
shooting star goes by
And in the
night the silence speaks to you and I
And now the
time has come at last
Don't let
the moment run too fast
I can feel
you tremble when we touch
And I feel
the hand of fate
Reaching out
to both of us
And there's
a story in my eyes
Turn the
pages of desire
Now it's
time to trade those dreams
For the rush
of passion's fire
I can't hold
back, I'm on the edge
I can't hold
back
Your voice
explodes inside my head
I can't hold
back, I won't back down
Girl, it's
too late to turn back now
I can feel
you tremble when we touch
And I feel
the hand of fate
Reaching out
to both of us
This love
affair can't wait
I can't hold
back, I can't hold back
I can't hold
back, I can't hold back
I can't hold
back
Este ha sido el décimo primer segmento musical de 1985. Espero
que estos dos muy buenos temas de Survivor hayan sido de su agrado, en donde
hemos querido recordar a Jimi Jamison en el primer aniversario de su partida. Como
siempre, los espero con sus visitas y comentarios. Y para cerrar la trilogía
dedicada a Survivor, volvemos a incluir el video de la muy buena canción “High
On You”, que desfiló en este segmento de 1985 hace cinco años, y que es mi tema
favorito de Survivor. Hasta el próximo mes de Setiembre, en donde tendremos dos
canciones de la recordada banda alemana Alphaville. Será hasta el miércoles 16
de Setiembre. Hasta entonces.
Que buena banda!!
ResponderEliminarHola David. Muchas gracias por tu comentario.
EliminarPlenamente de acuerdo contigo, Survivor fue una muy buena banda que destacó en la década del 80, y estos dos temas son una fiel muestra de ello.
Un abrazo.
