'A Hard Day's Night'

Verano del 64'

Comienza con el que podría ser el acorde más reconocido de la historia, un Sol sostenido cuarta que define la Beatlemanía propiamente dicha. Lennon y McCartney, sus melodías y sus arreglos. Aunque la letra no tiene nada de inocente…

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone

You know I feel okay

When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

,

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

.

Owwww!

.

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

.

When I'm home everything seems to be right

When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, all through the night, yeah

.

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

Will make me feel alright

You know I feel alright

You know I feel alright...

'Dancing in the Street'

Verano del 64'

Martha y sus Vandellas no se dedican a bailar furtivamente bajo la luz de un semáforo. Invitan a todo el Mundo a bailar en las calles. Y, con el movimiento pro Derechos Civiles tomando forma…, ¿por qué no imaginar las marchas y disturbios de principios de los 60’ sustituidas por una enorme cola de gente bailando de Costa a Costa?

'Heat Wave'

Verano del 63'

Uno de los primeros pelotazos de los legendarios héroes de la Motown Holland/Dozier/Holland. En el retozón motivo central, Martha Reeves machacando con su abrasadora y entregada voz… Y con las Vandellas instando a seguir – 'Go ahead, girl!' –, Martha parecía ser víctima de una insolación provocada por ella misma en un apasionado frenesí. Más caliente que Agosto.

Whenever I'm with you

Something inside starts burning

and my heart's filled with fire

.

Stop this - it's got a hold on me

I said this ain't the way it's supposed to be

.

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart

I can't keep from crying

Tearing me apart

.

Whenever he calls my name

Sounds so soft sweet and plain

Right then, right there

I feel this burning pain

This high blood pressure's got a hold on me

I said this ain't the way love's supposed to be

.

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart

I can't keep from crying

Tearing me apart

.

Whenever I'm with you

Something inside starts burning

And my hearts filled with fire

.

Something's got me amazed

Don't know what to do

My head's in a haze

.

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart

I can't keep from crying

Tearing me apart.

'The Loco-Motion'

Verano del 62'

Un bomboncito de 19 primaveras -en este caso, veranos-, un narciso -era su segundo nombre- que fascinó a Carole King y Gerry Goffin por su forma de bailar y para la que escribieron este tema.

'Green Onions'

Verano del 62'

Una melodía hábil y humeante, engrasada por un suave riff de órgano.
