CA IN JULY (THE BOMBPOPS)

"CA IN JULY"

 36.- Día 28 de Marzo de 2020.

 "CA IN JULY" es el tema elegido para el ensayo de hoy a la batería, pertenece a la banda de Punk-Rock estadounidense "THE BOMBPOPS". La banda californiana se formó en San Diego en el año 2007 y está integrada por Jen Razavi y Poli Van Dam como líderes fundadoras a la voz y guitarras, además de estar acompañadas por Neil Wayne al bajo y Josh Lewis a la batería, aunque la formación ha tenido varios cambios desde su nacimiento, de hecho han pasado 6 bajistas y 3 bateristas distintos, lo que influyó para que la banda no lanzara al mercado su primer álbum "Fear of Missing Out" hasta el año 2017 aunque en el noviembre de 2010 ya lanzaron su primer EP de debut de forma independiente "LIKE I CARE".

El sonido del grupo si quisieramos etiquetarlo creo que encajaría sobre todo en la onda Pop-Punk con ritmos muy rápidos conjugados con voces melódicas y estribillos pegadizos, aunque tiene diversas influencias de grupos punk, punk-rock, post-punk, skate-punk y pop-punk sobre todo de la década de los 90, como Bad Religion, Green Day, Blink 182, Epitaph Records y Fat Wreck Chords, entre otros.

TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:

"CA IN JULY" is the song chosen for today's rehearsal on drums, it belongs to the American Punk-Rock band "THE BOMBPOPS". The Californian band was formed in San Diego in 2007 and is made up of Jen Razavi and Poli Van Dam as founding leaders on vocals and guitars, as well as being accompanied by Neil Wayne on bass and Josh Lewis on drums, although the formation has had several changes since its birth, in fact there have been 6 bassists and 3 different drummers, which influenced the band not to release their first album "Fear of Missing Out" until 2017, although in November 2010 already they released their first independent debut EP "LIKE I CARE".

The sound of the group, if we wanted to label it, I think it would fit especially in the Pop-Punk wave with very fast rhythms conjugated with melodic voices and catchy choruses, although it has diverse influences from punk, punk-rock, post-punk, skate-punk and pop-punk especially from the 90s, such as Bad Religion, Green Day, Blink 182, Epitaph Records and Fat Wreck Chords, among others.

LETRA:
CA In July
(The Bombpops)

I never walk, I always run
Hey, I won't look, but I'll stare right at the sun!
Trying not to jump the gun
'Cause like mirrors and smoke, this is all a joke

Life feels dryer than California
In July, on your mouth when I kissed ya
On my couch, and I made you listen
To all the songs that I wish I had written

And I went out on a limb
Fell for you and almost broke my wrist
Had a spark because of this
Let us laugh 'til I choke
Be the butt of a joke

Life feels dryer than California
In July, on your mouth when I kissed ya
On my couch, and I made you listen
To all the songs that I wish I had written

You could be anything to me
I could be anything to you
The booze and drugs all wear off
And I think I still like you!

The sun comes up over California
I'm in too deep, and I wanna kiss ya
On your lips while I make you listen
To all the shit that I wish I had written!

We caught fire like California
In July, on the night when I kissed ya
On my couch, and I made you listen

To all the songs that I wish I had written.

I WANNA LIVE (RAMONES)

"I WANNA LIVE"

 35.- Día 23 de Marzo de 2020.

 "I WANNA LIVE" es el título de la canción que he escogido para el ensayo de hoy a la batería, traducida significa algo así como "QUIERO VIVIR", entre otros motivos por eso la he elegido ya que estamos pasando por momentos difíciles, y en esos momentos es cuando creo que tenemos que sacar lo mejor de nosotros mismos y luchar con fuerza para salir adelante, echo de menos compartir los ensayos y bolos con compañer@s de grupo así que mucho ánimo a tod@s, muy pronto saldremos de ésta. 

La canción (escrita por Dee Dee Ramone y Daniel Rey) pertenece al álbum "HALFWAY TO SANITY" grabado en 1987 por los RAMONES, mítica banda neoyorkina de Punk-Rock formada en 1974 y disuelta en 1996. Los RAMONES fueron un grupo pionero en el género Punk creando un estilo muy particular con canciones aparentemente sencillas pero en muchos casos de difícil ejecución al trabajar con ritmos trepidantes y letras en muchos casos repetitivas que contrastaban con el sonido de los grupos que triunfaban en la década de los 70 como por ejemplo eran las bandas de Rock Sinfónico con canciones mas complejas, con mayor instrumentación y letras enigmáticas. 

RAMONES recogió influencias del Surf-Rock, Rockabilly de los 50, Garaje; y, de grupos diversos como The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Beatles y The Who, entre otros de los años 60/70. RAMONES ha sido una de las bandas mas influyentes en grupos con sonidos Punk, Punk-Rock, Post-Punk, entre otros. Publicaron en total de 21 discos, 14 de ellos de estudio, el resto en directo y recopilatorios con un total de 212 canciones. Consiguieron dos discos de oro y dos de sus álbumes consiguieron meterse en el top 50 en el Billboard estadounidense aunque sus discos sencillos no llegaron a ser top en las ventas. En 2002 la banda fue incluida en el Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame y en 2011 recibió un premio Grammy en reconocimiento a su trayectoria musical.


Los miembros de la banda que participaron en "I WANNA LIVE" fueron: 


- JOEY RAMONE (Jeffrey Ross Hymann, Vocalista entre 1974-96 aunque comenzó como batería en 1974) 1951-2001.

- JOHNNY RAMONE (John William Cummings, Guitarra entre 1974-1996) 1948-2004, (considerado en el puesto 16 en la lista de los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos).

- RICHIE RAMONE (Richard Rinhardt, Batería y coros entre 1983-87). Nacido en 1957.

Otros miembros de la banda en otras épocas fueron:


- TOMMY RAMONE (Thomas Erdelyi, Batería entre 1974-78). 1949-2014.

- MARKY RAMONE (Marc Bell, Batería entre 1978-83 y 1987-96). Nacido en 1952.
- C.J.RAMONE (Christopher Joseph Ward, Bajo y coros entre 1989-1996). Nacido en 1965.

TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:

"I WANNA LIVE" is the title of the song that I have chosen for today's rehearsal on drums, translated means something like "I WANT TO LIVE", among other reasons that is why I have chosen it since we are going through difficult times, and in those moments is when I think we have to get the best of ourselves and fight hard to get ahead, I miss sharing the rehearsals and bowling with groupmates so good cheer to everyone, we will soon leave is.

The song (written by Dee Dee Ramone and Daniel Rey) belongs to the album "HALFWAY TO SANITY" recorded in 1987 by the RAMONES, a mythical New York Punk-Rock band formed in 1974 and dissolved in 1996. The RAMONES were a pioneer group in the Punk genre creating a very particular style with seemingly simple songs but in many cases difficult to execute when working with frenetic rhythms and repetitive lyrics in many cases that contrasted with the sound of the groups that triumphed in the 70s such as the Symphonic Rock bands with more complex songs, with more instrumentation and enigmatic lyrics.

RAMONES collected influences from Surf-Rock, Rockabilly from the 50s, Garage; and, from various groups such as The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Beatles and The Who, among others from the 60s / 70s. RAMONES has been one of the most influential bands in groups with Punk, Punk-Rock, Post-Punk sounds, among others. They published a total of 21 albums, 14 of them studio, the rest live and compilations with a total of 212 songs. They got two gold records and two of their albums managed to get into the top 50 on the American Billboard although their singles did not reach top in sales. In 2002 the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and in 2011 they received a Grammy Award in recognition of their musical career.

The members of the band that participated in "I WANNA LIVE" were: 

- JOEY RAMONE (Jeffrey Ross Hymann, Vocalist between 1974-96 although he started as a drummer in 1974) 1951-2001.

- JOHNNY RAMONE (John William Cummings, Guitar between 1974-1996) 1948-2004, (considered in position 16 in the list of the 100 best guitarists of all time).

- DEE DEE RAMONE (Douglas Glenn Colvin, Bass and vocalist between 1974-89). 1951-2002.

LETRA:

"I WANNA LIVE" 
(RAMONES)

I've been thinking it over

And I know just what to do

I've been thinking it over

And I know I just can't trust myself
I'm a Gypsy prince

Covered with diamonds and jewels

But then my lover exposes me

And I know I'm just a damn fool
I give what I've got to give

I give what I need to live

I give what I've got to give

It's important if I wanna live

Well, I wanna live

I want to live my life

I wanna live
Well, I want to live my life
As I load my pistol

Of fine German steel

I never thought I'd be so down and out

Having my last meal

But I know I can do it

It just took a few years

As I execute my killers
The morning is near
I give what I've got to give

I give what I need to live

I give what I've got to give

It's important if I wanna live

Well, I wanna live

I want to live my life

I wanna live
Well, I want to live my life
I wanna live

Well, I want to live my life

I wanna live

I want to live my life

I wanna live

I want to live my life

I wanna live
I want to live my life

NEW YEAR'S DAY (U2)

"NEW YEAR'S DAY"

 

34.- Día 15 de Marzo de 2020.

 

Aquí estoy de nuevo, en esta ocasión he elegido el tema "NEW YEAR'S DAY" de la genial banda irlandesa "U2", personalmente creo que es una de sus mejores canciones compuesta en la década de los 80, la etapa que considero humildemente que es en la que crearon sus mejores composiciones, con letras reivindicativas y musicalmente sin tantos arreglos electrónicos y donde se mostraba la esencia del sonido de la banda de formato guitarra/bajo/batería pero ya digo que ésta es solo una cuestión de gustos personales. 

 

U2 nació en el año 1976 siendo sus integrantes adolescentes y se ha mantenido unida durante todo este tiempo, lo cual ya es digno de elogio, ha grabado 14 álbumes de estudio, ha vendido más de 170 millones de discos en todo el mundo, ha ganado 22 premios Grammy (más que cualquier otro grupo) y en el año 2005 fue incluido en el Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. La revista musical Rolling Stone la posicionó en el puesto número 22 en su lista de los "100 Mayores Artistas de todos los tiempos". 


El grupo está integrado por BONO (Paul David Hewson) con su expresiva y melódica voz, (En 2008 la revista Rolling Stone colocó a Bono como el cantante número 32 mas grande de todos los tiempos), THE EDGE (Dave Howell Evans) y sus característicos efectos de sonido de guitarra, (En 2011 la Revista Rolling Stone lo posicionó en el número 38 en su lista de los "100 Mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos"); y la base rítmica integrada por ADAM CLAYTON al bajo y LARRY MULLEN JR. a la batería. El sonido del grupo comenzó con raíces post-punk y fue incorporando posteriormente sonidos de otros géneros musicales desde el rock mas clásico, rock alternativo, pop-rock, pasando por el pop mas comercial y la incorporación de arreglos y sonidos electrónicos.

La canción "NEW YEAR'S DAY" forma parte del tercer disco de estudio de la banda publicado en el año 1983 "WAR" y su primer sencillo, posteriormente también ha sido grabada en directo en varias ocasiones como en "UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY" (1983), personalmente creo que ésta es su mejor versión, y también fue incluida en los discos recopilatorios "THE BEST OF 1980-1990" y "U218 SINGLES". La letra tiene su origen en una canción de amor que Bono escribió a su mujer aunque posteriormente fue modificada inspirada por el movimiento social polaco "Solidaridad".

TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:

Here I am again, this time I have chosen the song "NEW YEAR'S DAY" by the great Irish band "U2", personally I think it is one of their best songs composed in the 80's, the stage that I humbly consider to be in which they created their best compositions, with vindictive lyrics and musically without so many electronic arrangements and where the essence of the sound of the guitar / bass / drums format band was shown but I already said that this is just a matter of personal taste.

U2 was born in 1976 when its members were teenagers and has remained together throughout this time, which is already worthy of praise, has recorded 14 studio albums, has sold more than 170 million records worldwide, has won 22 Grammy Awards (more than any other group) and in 2005 it was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone music magazine ranked her at number 22 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time."

The group is made up of BONO (Paul David Hewson) with his expressive and melodic voice, (In 2008 Rolling Stone magazine ranked Bono as the 32nd greatest singer of all time), THE EDGE (Dave Howell Evans) and his signature guitar sound effects, (In 2011 Rolling Stone Magazine ranked it at number 38 on their list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"); and the rhythmic base composed of ADAM CLAYTON on bass and LARRY MULLEN JR. to the battery. The sound of the group began with post-punk roots and later incorporated sounds from other musical genres from more classic rock, alternative rock, pop-rock, through more commercial pop and the incorporation of arrangements and electronic sounds.

The song "NEW YEAR'S DAY" is part of the band's third studio album published in 1983 "WAR" and their first single, later it has also been recorded live on several occasions as in "UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY" ( 1983), I personally think this is his best version, and it was also included on the compilation albums "THE BEST OF 1980-1990" and "U218 SINGLES". The lyrics have their origin in a love song that Bono wrote to his wife, although it was later modified inspired by the Polish social movement "Solidarity".

NEW YEAR'S DAY 
(U2)

Yeah

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you, night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky

A crowd has gathered in black and white

Arms entwined, the chosen few

The newspapers says, says

Say it's true, it's true

And we can break through

Though torn in two

We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh
Ah, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again

I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age


And gold is the reason for the wars we wage

Though I want to be with you, be with you

Night and day

Nothing changes

On New Year's Day

On New Year's Day

On New Year's Day
