Song of the Day: Billie Eilish, ROSALÍA - Lo Vas A Olvidar

 I love the vibe in this song.  Two great artists collaborating.

Billie Eilish, ROSALÍA - Lo Vas A Olvidar (Official Music Video)

I like the commentary, along with the English translation here:

https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/9514644/billie-eilish-rosalia-lo-vas-a-olvidar-lyrics-translation-english/

The slow-tempo, bilingual song has dreamlike, almost hazy melodies that bring to the forefront Eilish and Rosalia's vocal chemistry and enchanting harmonies.

Lo Vas A Olvidar

[Verse 1: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish, Ambos]

Dime si me echas de meno' aún

Dime si no me perdonas aún

Que harás con to' este veneno, nada bueno

Dime si me echas de meno' aún

 

[Chorus: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish]

¿Lo va' a olvidar? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

¿Lo va' a olvidar? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

 

[Verse 2: Billie Eilish & ROSALÍA]

Dime que no te arrepientes aún

Dime si aún queda algo en común

El tiempo que se pierde no vuelve

Dame un beso y bájame de la cru'

 

[Chorus: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish]

¿Lo va' a olvidar? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

¿Lo va' a olvidar? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

Can you let it go? ¿Lo va' a olvidar?

 

[Bridge: ROSALÍA]

Ay, ay

Ay, ay, ay, ah-ah

 

[Outro: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish]

El amor no puede medirse en un paso firme

Un dia soy un Dios y al otro puedo partirme

I needed to go 'cause I needed to know you don't need me

Could we put you so but it seems like you don't even see me

El amor no puede medirse en un paso firme

Un dia soy un Dios y al otro puedo partirme

You say it to me like that it something I have any choice in

Like if wasn't important why would you waste all your poison

 

English translation

You are going to forget it

Versions: #1#2

[Verse 1: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish, Both]

Tell me if you miss me yet

Tell me if you don't forgive me yet

What will you do with all this poison, nothing good

Tell me if you miss me yet

 

[Chorus: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish]

Are you going to forget it? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Are you going to forget it? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

 

[Verse 2: Billie Eilish & ROSALÍA]

Tell me you don't regret it yet

Tell me if there is still something in common

The time that is lost does not return

Give me a kiss and lower me from the cross

 

[Chorus: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish]

Are you going to forget it? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Are you going to forget it? Can you let it go?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

Can you let it go? Are you going to forget it?

 

[Bridge: ROSALÍA]

Ay, ay

Ay, ay, ay, ah-ah

 

[Other: ROSALÍA & Billie Eilish]

Love cannot be measured in a steady step

One day I'm a God and the next I can break

I needed to go 'cause I needed to know you don't need me

Could we put you so but it seems like you don't even see me

Love cannot be measured in a steady step

One day I'm a God and the next I can break

You say it to me like that it something I have any choice in

Like if it wasn't important why would you waste all your poison

 

Song of the Day: Adrianne Lenker - Anything

Sometimes a song just reaches out and grabs you, and you play it over and over.  This is one of those songs, for me.

I love the lyrics in this song, by the way.  From AZLyrics.com:

AdriAnne Lenker Lyrics

"Anything"

Staring down the barrel of the hot sun

Shining with the sheen of a shotgun

Careless little swinging sun

Joyous rays, we wanna come

Hanging your jeans with a clothes pin

Skin still wet still on my skin

Mango in your mouth, juice dripping

Shoulder of your shirtsleeve slipping

Christmas eve with your mother and sis

Don't wanna fight but your mother insists

Dog's white teeth slice right through my fist

Drive to the ER and you put me on my wrist

Grocery store list, now you get this

Brunch, had calls and messages

I don't wanna be the owner of your fantasy

I just wanna be a part of your family

And I don't wanna talk about anything

I don't wanna talk about anything

I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again

Wanna witness your eyes looking

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving

Lay on your lap when I'm crying

Circle of pine and riddle

Circle of moss and fire smoke

Fan on the ceiling like a wheel spoke

Push the clutch in and I pull the choke

Wanna listen to the sound of you blinking

Wanna listen your hands soothe

Listen to your heart beating

Listen to the way you move

And I don't wanna talk about anything

I don't wanna talk about anything

I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again

Wanna witness your eyes looking

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving

Lay on your lap when I'm crying

Ordering the stars in Heaven

Hurling salt in the sea

Dragging a new-born mountain

Didn't you believe in me?

You held me the whole way through

When I couldn't say the words like you

I was scared indigo go but I wanted to

I was scared indigo go but I wanted to

And I don't wanna talk about anything

I don't wanna talk about anything

I wanna kiss, kiss your eyes again

Wanna witness your eyes looking

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I don't wanna talk about anyone

I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving

Lay on your lap when I'm crying

Song of the Day: Frances Cone - '93 or '94

I love love love finding new music.  Before the artists become really well known.  Or even if they don't, frankly.

This song blew me away.  I listened to it over and over, as well as other songs by the band, when I first heard it.

And now here it is for you, my seven* readers.  You're welcome.

Song of the Day: Dragonette - Detonate

Not sure when this came out, but I think I missed it.  No matter, I found it now.  I love the vibe, just as I do with many Dragonette songs.    :)

Dragonette - Detonate (Official Audio)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne_MQt41W_o

Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com.

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dragonette/detonate.html

"Detonate"

Another level into another obstacle course

We fall another ten feet through another trap door

And I don't wanna find a safe way home

I'm right where I want

And I believe we belong somewhere in between lost and found

And I, I don't think it can be wrong flying too close to the sun

I swear this love is so precarious

If you're a spark then I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

We'll light on, we'll light on in flames and detonate..

We detonate

We light up and detonate

Detonate

Living in our own natural disaster

Not really what we want, but kinda what we've asked for

We don't need to find a place to hide

'Cause we've come alive

And I believe we belong somewhere in between right and wrong

And I, I don't think that [?] flying too close to the sun

I swear this love is feeling dangerous

If you're a spark then I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

We'll light on, we'll light on in flames and detonate

We detonate

We light up and detonate

Detonate

If this is our, our time to go

Is there a better way to explore

Fill up the sky with ashes and dust

And when it settles down, we will never ask for more

I swear this love is so precarious

If you're a spark then I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

Oh, well this love is feeling dangerous

You are a spark and I want to take it for pain

And even in the tiniest dust we'll light on

We'll light on, we'll light on in flames and detonate

We detonate

We light up and detonate

Detonate

Song of the Day: Molly Tuttle - Sunflower, Vol. 6

Have I mentioned to you, my seven* readers, how much I love finding new music?  Well, it's true.  I do.  This is a perfect example.  So talented, such a delicate touch.  Perfect.

Sunflower, Vol. 6

Molly Tuttle

Produced by Tony Berg

Album ...but i’d rather be with you

  

[Verse]

Sunflower, my eyes want you more than a melody

Let me inside, wish I could get to know you

Sunflowers sometimes keep it sweet in your memory

I was just tongue-tied

[Bridge]

I don't wanna make you feel bad

But I've been trying hard not to talk to you

My sunflower

[Chorus]

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more

Tonight, tonight, tonight

[Verse]

Wondering headshake, tired eyes are the death of me

Mouthful of toothpaste before I got to know you

I've got your face hung up high in the gallery

Out of this shade, sunflowеr, sunflower

[Verse]

Your flowers just died

Plant nеw seeds in the melody

Let me inside

I wanna get to know you

[Bridge]

I don't wanna make you feel bad

But I've been trying hard not to act a fool

My sunflower

[Chorus]

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more

Tonight, tonight, tonight

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more

Tonight, tonight

[Verse]

Sunflower, my eyes want you more than a melody

Let me inside, wish I could get to know you

Sunflowers just died, keep it sweet in your memory

I'm still tongue-tied, sunflower, sunflower

Song of the Day: The Cranberries - Dreams

Classic song, from a great band.  Came up in my YouTube suggestions, after listening to some songs from Allie Sherlock busking on Grafton Street, Dublin.  If you don't know where that is or why it's cool, let me just say this: It's worth a trip, in my opinion.

I don't like seeing stars from my youth dying, by the way.  Makes me feel old.  And reflective.  Dolores O'Riordan was younger than me, something I didn't realize until just now.  Did her dreams come true??   :(

The Cranberries Lyrics

"Dreams"

Oh, my life

Is changing everyday

In every possible way

And oh, my dreams

It's never quite as it seems

Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before

But now I'm feeling it even more

Because it came from you

Then I open up and see

The person falling here is me

A different way to be

Aaah, la-a-la-aaah

La la laaaa

La-a-la-aah

La-ah ah aaah

I want more

Impossible to ignore

Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true

Impossible not to do

Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly

You have my heart so don't hurt me

You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind

So understanding and so kind

You're everything to me

Oh, my life

Is changing everyday

In every possible way

And oh, my dreams

It's never quite as it seems

'Cause you're a dream to me

Dream to me

Song of the Day: Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love

Another thing to talk about with my daughters.  Why is Eddie Van Halen, who died a few days ago on October 6th, significant?  Maybe this song, the opening guitar work, will help them understand.  This is what I think about when I hear "Eddie Van Halen."
