Willie Nelson (Patsy Cline) - Crazy

Patsy Cline, (Winchester, Virginia, Estados Unidos, 8 de septiembre de 1932 - Camden, Tennessee, Estados Unidos, 5 de marzo de 1963) fue una cantante estadounidense de música country.

Su verdadero nombre era Virginia Patterson Hensley. "Cline" era el apellido de su primer marido, Gerald Cline, un magnate de la construcción con quien se casó en 1953 y del que se divorció en 1957.

Firmó su primer contrato como cantante en 1953 y, a pesar de su muerte prematura, llegó a convertirse en una de las cantantes más influyentes en la música popular de Estados Unidos. Su primer éxito fue "Walkin' After Midnight" (1957), canción escrita por Don Hecht y Alan Block. Se convirtió en una de las artistas más importantes del Grand Ole Opry en 1960.

Aunque comenzó su carrera interpretando música rockabilly, pronto se hizo evidente que su voz era idónea para interpretar temas country desde una perspectiva pop. Algunos de sus éxitos más importantes en este terreno fueron "Crazy" (escrita por Willie Nelson), "She's Got You", "I Fall To Pieces" y "Sweet Dreams" (escrita por Don Gibson).

Falleció a la edad de 30 años cuando el avión en el que volaba desde Kansas City se estrelló en la localidad de Camden, en el estado de Tennessee. En 1985 se estrenó una película sobre su vida, titulada Sweet Dreams, en la que el papel de la cantante fue interpretado por Jessica Lange.

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

Procol Harum - A whiter shade of pale

We skipped a light fandango,
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick,
But the crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder,
As the ceiling flew away.
When we called out for another drink,
The waiter brought a tray.

And so it was that later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said there is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see
That I wandered through my playing cards,
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast.
And although my eyes were open,
They might just as well have been closed.

And so it was later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

Nina Simone - Don't let me be misunderstood

otra versión de mi total agrado



Lyrics
B.Benjamin/S.Marcus/C.Cadwell

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Because I love you
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
