Cat power: Wonderwall

Otro cover de Cat power, esta vez a Oasis.

Original por Oasis

Para poner la canción al mismo nivel los dejo con la versión acústica de Wonderwall por el mismísimo Oasis.

Letra de Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now, you should’ve somehow realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how

Because maybe you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day, but they’ll never throw it back to you
By now, you should’ve somehow realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how

I said maybe you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe) you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe) you’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me

¿Qué les parece esta versión?

Crying, waiting, hoping por Catpower

La voz de Catpower, Chan Marshall, es encantadora, y estoy convencido de que complementa muy bien el estilo melancólico de sus canciones. Irónicamente Buddy Holly me recuerda a un enamorado estúpidamente feliz, quizás la culpa la tenga Everyday(incluida en Big Fish), incluso cuando sus canciones no sean del todo felices.

Dicho eso, estoy convencido que Catpower se robo varios elogios por esta versión, impuso su estilo y ajusto mejor el mood de la canción.

No intento compararlos porque dudo que exista punto de comparación, sólo digo que me quedo con la versión de Catpower.

Letra de Crying, waiting, hoping (original)

Crying, waiting, hoping - you’ll come back
I just can’t seem to get you off my mind

Crying, waiting, hoping - you’ll come back
you’re the one I love & I think about you all the time

Crying’ -do,do,do- my tears keep a-fallin’ all night long
waitin’ -do,do,do- it seems so useless, I know it’s wrong

To keep a-crying, waiting, hoping - you’ll come back
maybe someday soon things will change & you’ll be mine

Crying, waiting, hoping
