My fovourite Song


When i read the instructions of this entrance i say "well in this moment i haven´t a song many favurite", but then thing and say "but in my personals tastes always are a song that i like", this song always is the first.

The first time that i listen the song i was 16 years old, in that time i don't understand what want to say the song but i only liked it because the rythm is very different to another songs of that kind of music. Two or three years after i watch a video of the group and the song was traduced to the spanish, in that moment i liked the song many more because the rythm was good and the lyric was good too.

In this moment you can ask me ..."and What is the song? or What is the group (band)?", well the answer is....before of this i can say that when i listen the group for first time i was very fan of "Los Prisioneros" they was a very important band of rock/punk/political of Chile, and they bassed their songs in a england band....The Clash.

My favourite song is the first (and the single) of the disc "London Calling", and it has the same name of the disc...London Calling. The band was very important, not just for the rock or the punk, because this band integrated many kinds of musics, they formed in 1976 and disbanded in 1986.

Ok and this is the song:


London Calling

(Strummer/Jones)

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

CHORUS

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
I never felt so much a' like
