"DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)"
25.- Día 7 de Enero de 2018, ¡Feliz año nuevo a tod@s!
Después de unos cuantos meses sin publicar en mi blog vuelvo "a la carga" con el tema "DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)" de la banda de rock escocesa "SIMPLE MINDS". Los miembros de la banda que se mantienen desde su inicio son Jim Kerr (cantante) y Charlie Burchill (guitarrista); y Mel Gaynor (baterísta) desde el año 1982. El grupo nació en Glasgow en el año 1977 y en su trayectoria ha vendido más de 60 millones de discos, ha ganado numerosos premios a lo largo de su carrera y ha tocado géneros como el new wave, el pop-rock, el synthpop o el post-punk siendo considerado uno de los grupos mas importantes en la década de los 80 popularizando junto a la banda irlandesa "U2" el estilo "Anthemic Rock" (Rock épico o de himnos) con un sonido elegante y de vanguardia que a día de hoy sirve de influencia a grupos de música electrónica y alternativa de la actualidad como Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Moby, Primal Scream y Manic Street Preachers, entre otros.
En el año 2014 la Revista New Musical Express colocó a SIMPLE MINDS entre los 100 artistas más influyentes de la música y en 2015 el grupo fue homenajeado en los premios Billboard de la Música por los 30 años del número 1 de su canción DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME), que traducida sería algo así como "No te olvides de mi". La canción fue publicada en el año 1985, vendió 6,5 millones de copias y ha sido considerada por numerosos críticos musicales como la canción más representativa de la década de los 80, estando incluida en la lista de los 100 singles más vendidos de la historia de la música. La canción fue un éxito a nivel mundial y catapultó al grupo a la cima del éxito, por ejemplo en el Reino Unido permaneció en las listas durante tres años, siendo el single de mayor permanencia en la historia.
El tema fue escrito por Keit Forsey (productor y ganador de un Oscar por "Flashdance...What a Feeling con Irene Cara) y Steve Schiff (guitarrista de Nina Hagen) para formar parte de la banda sonora de la película de John Hughes "The Breakfast Club" (El club de los cinco). Curisosamente la canción fue ofrecida para grabar en principio a Bryan Ferry, a Billy Idol y a Cy Curnin de The Fixx pero los tres la rechazaron, entonces se ofreció a SIMPLE MINDS quienes la grabaron convirtiéndose después en la canción más famosa del grupo. El vídeo musical fue dirigido por Daniel Kleinman y fue nominado en los MTV Video Music Awards 1985 a los premios a "Mejor dirección artística" y "Mejor dirección".
El tema ha sido versioneado por muchos músicos de diversos estilos como Billy Idol, Smash Mouth, Molly Ringwald, David Cook, The Wind and the Wave, Victoria Justice, KT Tunstall, Rufio, Stella Starlight Trío y New Found Glory, entre otros, realizandose covers también en varias películas como "Pith Perfect" y series norteamericanas como "Glee".
Además del vídeo de la batería posteriormente he añadido también una versión tocada en directo con mi grupo de pop-rock LUBALLY ROAD el 15/06/19. Muchas gracias a mis compañeros: Christine Torelló (Vocalista), Pedro Sabater (Guitarra) y Andrés Palencia (Bajo).

"DON'T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME)"
(SIMPLE MINDS)
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and.
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things
That we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby.
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me.
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down.
Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down.
Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security.
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby.
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me.
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away.
Oh, will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
I say la, la, la...
When you walk on by…
