Mis Letras Favoritas de The Cranberries

Este es un pequeño (créanme: pequeño) listado de mis letras favoritas de las canciones de mi banda número uno: Los Arándanos, mejores conocidos como The Cranberries. También incluyo las canciones de los discos de Dolores O'Riordan en solista.

- Demos -

Uncertain: "You mistook me by far. Oh why, oh why did you bring me here? Leaves in the wind, honey. You had nothing to send"

Nothing Left At All: "Now it's over but the thoughts of you go on, nothing here, nothing left at all. How I swore I'd never feel like this again. But then you, then you broght it through. Oh no, is there any reason I should walk away? Is it wrong, is it wrong to want to stay? And I know if I'd had the choice I'd never let you go (...) Hard to find, you were really hard to find (...) And I didn't think, I didn't think I'd think about you in this way. Well really, you really made my day"

- Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? -

Dreams: "Now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me"

Sunday: "My feet are off the ground, I don't know where I stand. Do you have to hold my hand"

Not Sorry: "Keep on looking through the window again and I'm not sorry if I do detest you. No, I'm not sorry and I do detest you"

Linger: "So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand? (...) If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie, things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used"

I Will Always: "And when it all seems like a mistake, take whatever you need to take, leave the rest for my own sake"

Put Me Down: "Let me take you by the hand, away from here to another land"

Reason: "'Cos if you were somewhere else instead... If you were in someone else's bed..."

- No Need To Argue -

Ode To My Family: "Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design. And people everywhere think something better than I am"

I Can't Be With You: "Put your hands in my hands and come with me, we'll find another end"

Twenty One: "I don't think it's going to happen anymore. You took my thoughts from me, now I want nothing more"

Zombie: "Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken and the violence caused such silence. Who are we mistaken? But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting (...) Another mother's breaking heart is taking over. When the violence causes silence we must be mistaken"

Empty: (Toda la canción) "Something has left my life and I don't know where it went to. Somebody caused me strife, and it's not what I was seeking. Didn't you see me? Didn't you hear me? Didn't you see me standing there? Why did you turn out the lights? Did you know that I was sleeping? Say a prayer for me, help me to feel the strength I did. My identity, as it's been taken. Is my heart breaking on me? All my plans fell through my hands, they fell through my hands, on me. All my dreams. It suddenly seems... It suddenly seems empty"

Everything I Said: (Toda la canción) "It makes me lonely, It makes me very lonely, When I see you here, waitin' on. He makes me tired. He makes me very tired, and inside of me, lingers on. But you have your heart, oh, don't believe it, and you ran outside, waiting on. Everything I said, oh, well I meant it, And inside my head, holdin' on.
'Cos if I died tonight, would you hold my hand? No. Would you understand? And if I lived in spite, would you still be here? No. Would you disappear? Surely must be you, but I don't make you lonely. I'll get over you, but I don't make you lonely"

Disappointment: "And we could've been happy. What a piteous thing! A hideous thing was tainted by the rest. But it won't get any harder and I hope you'll find your way again (...) In the night we fight, I fled, you're right. It was exactly then: I decided"

Ridiculous Thoughts: "It's not gonna happen, no. You're not gonna make fun of me (...) I feel alright and I cried so hard the ridiculous thoughts"

Dreaming My Dreams: "All the things you said to me today changed my perspective in every way. These things count to mean so much to me (...) I'll be dreaming my dreams with you and there's no other place that I'd lay down my face"

Daffodil Lament: (The Whole Song) "Holding on, that's what I do since I met you. And it won't be long, would you notice if I left you. And it's fine for some cause you're not the one. All night long I laid on my pillow. These things are wrong, I can't sleep here. I have decided to leave you forever. I have decided to start things from here. Thunder and lightning won't change what I'm feeling and the daffodils look lovely today. In your eyes I can see the disguise. In your eyes I can see the dismay. Has anyone seen lightning? Has anyone lived lovely?"

No Need To Argue: "There's no need to argue anymore. I gave all I could but it left me so sore (...) Was it all a waste of time? Cause I knew, I knew I'd lose you (...) Will I forget in time you said I was on your mind?"

I Don't Need: "The world is consuming me and I don't feel so happy here today. I'm numb and I don't feel and I used to be a baby in my head. So where is the one you love? Does she hold you happy next to her?"

So Cold In Ireland: "He's eighteen years old and well I fell in love"

- To The Faithful Departed -

Salvation: "Inject your soul with liberty, it's free!"

When You're Gone: "In the day everything's complex, there's nothing simple when I'm not around you"

Free To Decide: "I live as I choose or I will not live it at all (...) So to hell with what you're thinking, and to hell with your narrow mind. You're so distracted from the real thing"

The Rebels: "What I am now is what I was then, I am not more acceptable than them"

Bosnia: "I would like to state my vision: life was so unfair. We live in our secure surroundings and people die out there (...) And we all call out in despair. All the love we need isn’t there. And we all sing songs our rooms, Sarajevo erects another tomb (...) There are babies in their hands, terror in their heads. For the love of life!"

Cordell: "Though once you ruled my mind, I thought you'd always be there"

The Picture I View: "I haven't changed but my life has. People are strange when it's like us. I did something wrong to them and I don't even know your name"

- Bury The Hatchet -

Animal Instinct: "And the thing that freaks me out is I'll always be in doubt (...) So take my hands and come with me, we will change reality"

Loud and Clear: "Hope the sun beats down on you and skin youself alive" :)

Promises: "All the promises we broke. All the meaningless and empty words I spoke (...) Leave the cobwebs in the closet 'cause tearing them out is just not right"

You and Me: "You revealed a world to me and I would never be dwelling in such happiness, your gift of purity

Just My Imagination: "We were living for the love we had and living not for reality"

Desperate Andy: "He like to wear the ball and the chain on his neck: a false sense of security"

What's On My Mind: "I was wrong all along. There could be somebody like thee"

Fee Fi Fo: "And I often wondered to myself: Who protects the ones who can't protect themselves?"

Dying in the Sun: "Do you remember the things we used to say? I feel so nervous when I think of yesterday. How could I let things get to me so bad? How did I let things get to me? Like dying in the sun (...) I wanted to be so perfect, you see? I wanted to be so perfect..."

Sorry Son: "I had to be cruel to be kind. We have to leave the past behind. And isn't it strange how people can change? And isn't it weird how people I feared they all seem worthless now? (...) I see the sun in the trees and I feel the psychedelic breeze"

Baby Blues: "I wonder what's happening to me, things are changing so dramatically. I'll search for you, you're not really there. Still I wonder knowing that you do care"

Woman Without Pride: "I'll try to be nice, be nice if I can. I will try to be nice and please my man. I'll try to let on that it's a perfect day (...) I'll try to pretend she doesn't exist, and I'll try to let on that you never kissed her (...) You don't see things like I do"

Such a Shame: "Well I feel so sorry for you, you'll always be the same"

- Wake Up and Smell the Coffee -

Never Grow Old: "I had a dream, strange it may seems: It was my perfect day. Open my eyes, I realize this is my perfect day"

Dying Inside: "Won't you speak out and say the things you'd say?"

This is the Day: "But the wind might change, I will still remain, I will always be there for you (...) The demons I can't leave behind (...) Pour forth thy grace into my mind"

The Concept: "Take life between us"

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee: "I, I went to hell, I might as well learn by my mistakes"

Pretty Eyes: "I will kill everything just to take off your pain"

I Really Hope: "This is like a déja-vu: I was born to be with you. I really hope you'll always be so in love with me. I really hope we'll always stay so attached this way"

Carry On: "Take destiny by the hand and lead it far away"

Such a Waste: "I'll put you in the back because you never know your place"

Many Days: "Bringing out the smile in me you're burying my disguise"

- Stars -

Stars: "I guess I will be all right: desire gets you nowhere. (...) And still I have my weaknesses, and still I have my strength, and still I have my ugliness, but I love you just the way you are"

- Are You Listening? -

When Were Young: "I think that we weren't always grateful for what you've done"

In The Garden: "It's a panic in paradise"

Human Spirits: "And with my heart in my hand... It's not like we planned"

Loser: "A two watt light bulb is brighter than you (...) Die, loser, die!" :)

Apple of my Eye: "And as a new day dawns the darkness moves away and I will wait for you"

October: "I'm going through changes, I see you again. It's so thought provoking, emotion evoking, I can't turn around: I don't want to pretend. You stand in my way with nothing to say. You think you're the world. I'm so lost without you. I'm sorry my friend, this is not the end. I'll do it without you. I'll do it again (...) It's my evolution the only solution. The torment is all that I'm holding within"

Angel Fire: "I can't find a word to say to you. I can't comprehend, I can't relate to you (...) I don't want to know your pain, I don't want to play the game"

Ecstasy: "I can feel the pleasure that's the pain (...) this must be the essence of it all: stay with me and we will fall (...) Still I can't shake her, get out of my mind"

Without You: "So far across the water, you're always on my mind"

Willow Pattern: "I’d never see the world without you: you opened up my eyes. I’d never see the world without you and now I realize (...) You should never take a thing for granted, you only miss it when it’s gone. And it's stupid to be holding grudges because we only got so alone"

- No Baggage? -

Switch Off The Moment: "Wake me up, I am not dead. Ignite a fire in my soul (...) Are the thoughts I left behind accumulating in my head? Switch off the moment (...) Will you be there when I call? I ask you now, please. Will you catch me when I fall? Or are you there at all?"

Aunque bien, al final no significa que estas sean mis canciones favoritas... por ejemplo, aquí no está Analyse o Them, que son de algunas de las canciones que más escucho, y es que la tonada tiene que ver mucho en lo cantado y no sólo el contenido "literario". A veces, el feeling sobrepasa el poder de las palabras por sí mismas.
