IMMACULATE FOOLS (IMMACULATE FOOLS)

"IMMACULATE FOOLS"

 

46.- Día 7 de Junio de 2020.

Hoy rescato una canción del año 1984 (para acompañarla a la batería y a la voz) de la banda británica "IMMACULATE FOOLS" con una de (para mi gusto) sus mejores composiciones musicales, la canción que lleva el mismo nombre que el grupo "IMMACULATE FOOLS" (que traducido sería algo así como "locos/tontos inmaculados").

La banda se formó en Kent (Reino Unido) en el año 1984 en principio por los hermanos Weatherill (Kevin; Voz y guitarra) y (Paul; Voz y bajo); y los también hermanos Ross (Andy; Guitarra) y (Peter; Batería). La canción elegida para la cover de hoy "Immaculate fools" llegó a alcanzar el número 51 de la lista de singles en el Reino Unido, así como su primer álbum lanzado al mercado en el año 1985 "Hearts of Fortune" llegó hasta el puesto 65. En el año 1987 publicaron "Dumb Poet"  consiguió buenas críticas pero no llegó al éxito del primer álbum. Ya para la grabación del siguiente disco "Another Man's World" en el año 1990 los hermanos Ross abandonaron el grupo y se incorporaron Barry Wickens, Paul Skidmore e Ian Devlin. En 1992 sacaron "The Toy Shop", en 1995 entraron Wickens Brian Beetts (Guitarra) y Nick Thomas (Batería) para grabar "Woodhouse" y en 1996 "Kiss and Punch". En el año 1997 la banda finalizó su andadura musical hasta que en el año 2015 con Kevin Weatherill como líder (Voz y guitarra) con otros componentes volvieron a grabar el disco "Turn the whole world down" y en 2016 "Keep the blade sharp" con Laura Solla (Guitarra), Linda Lamb (Voz), Helena Watt (Violín), Alex Salgueiro (Bajo) y Naíma Acuña (Batería).

Actualmente el grupo sigue en activo con Kevin Weatherill como líder y compositor del mismo, también Kevin realiza trabajos en solitario con el nombre de Dirty Ray.

TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH:

Today I rescue a song from 1984 (to accompany it on drums and voice) by the British band "IMMACULATE FOOLS" with one of (for my taste) their best musical compositions, the song that bears the same name as the group "IMMACULATE FOOLS" ( which translated would be something like "crazy / immaculate fools").

The band was formed in Kent (UK) in 1984 initially by the Weatherill brothers (Kevin; Voice and guitar) and (Paul; Voice and bass); and the Ross brothers (Andy; Guitar) and (Peter; Drums). The song chosen for today's cover "Immaculate fools" reached number 51 on the UK singles chart, as well as their first album released in 1985 "Hearts of Fortune" reached number 65. In 1987 they released "Dumb Poet" It got good reviews but did not reach the success of the first album. Already for the recording of the next album "Another Man's World" in 1990 the Ross brothers left the group and joined Barry Wickens, Paul Skidmore and Ian Devlin. In 1992 they released "The Toy Shop", in 1995 Wickens Brian Beetts (Guitar) and Nick Thomas (Drums) joined to record "Woodhouse" and in 1996 "Kiss and Punch". In 1997 the band ended their musical career until in 2015 with Kevin Weatherill as leader (Voice and guitar) with other components they re-recorded the album "Turn the whole world down" and in 2016 "Keep the blade sharp" with Laura Solla ( Guitar), Linda Lamb (Voice), Helena Watt (Violin), Alex Salgueiro (Bass) and Naíma Acuña (Drums).

Currently the group is still active with Kevin Weatherill as its leader and songwriter, Kevin also performs solo work under the name Dirty Ray.

LETRA:
IMMACULATE FOOLS
(Immaculate Fools)
We talk of changes
We talk of may things
When there is sadness
We re-arrange the dream
Those tainted promises
They fade and die
We forget so easily
The love insisde

We are enchanted.
We are immaculate
We are selected.
We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected

I looked out my window
Thought i heard you come
Looked inside my mirror
To see what i had done
Faith hope and charity
They passed you by
Call them now they can´t refuse
Get, side by side

We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected.
We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected.

Immaculate Fools,
Immaculate Fools.

The pretty tune is at an end
It´s down to you and me again
All the things that i don´t need
Always seem to follow me
Every day´s a holiday
Sink or swim
Laughing as the ship goes down
We shall live again

We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected.
We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected.

Immaculate Fools,
Immaculate Fools,
Immaculate Fools.

THE PAN WITHIN - (THE WATERBOYS)

"THE PAN WITHIN"

10.- Hoy vamos con el tema "THE PAN WITHIN" en directo de la banda escocesa de folk-rock "THE WATERBOYS", formada en el año 1983 por su talentoso líder, vocalista y principal compositor Mike Scott. Con el grupo han colaborado desde sus inicios más de 30 músicos, la mayoría de ellos escoceses, ingléses e irlandeses. De todos ellos destacaría a Steve Wickham (extraordinario violinista que le dió al grupo con su incorporación en el año 1985 un toque mas folk), Kevin Wilkinson (batería y miembro original del grupo), Anthony Thistlethwaite (también miembro original que ha tocado varios instrumentos como el saxo, teclados, mandolinas y guitarras, entre otros), Richard Naiff (pianista y flautista), Roddy Lorimer (trompeta) y Martin Swain (bajo).

La canción “THE PAN WITHIN” fue publicada dentro de su tercer álbum “THIS IS THE SEA” en octubre de 1985, llegando a alcanzar el número 37 del Top de los EEUU.

LETRA:
THE PAN WITHIN”
THE WATERBOYS

Come with me
on a journey beneath the skin
come with me
on a journey under the skin
we will look together
for the Pan within
close your eyes
breathe slow we'll begin
close your eyes
breathe slow we'll begin
to look together
for the Pan within, within

Swing your hips
loose your head and let it spin
swing your hips
loose your head and let it spin
and we will look together for the Pan within
close your eyes
breathe slow we'll begin
close your eyes
breathe slow we'll begin
to look together
for the Pan within, ohh!

Put your face to my window
breathe a night full of treasure
the wind is delicious
sweet and wild with the promise of pleasure
the stars are alive
and nights like these
were born to be
sanctified by you and me
lovers thieves fools and pretenders
and all we gotta do (x 6)
is surrender
and all we gotta do
is surrender ( x 3)
Come with me on a journey
under the skin
come with me on a journey under the skin
and we will look together
for the Pan within, uhhh!
