Nacha Pop - La chica de ayer



Did you know that this famous song was also translated to English and recorded by an American band called a version called Gigolo Aunts?


THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY"
(Antonio Vega)

One day you don't even know what time it is
You lay by my side but still you don't know why
The empty streets have seen you grow and change
But I know in your heart you might be crying again

I look out of the window for the girl I knew yesterday
Smiling in the flowers of my favorite garden
Too hard to understand too late to comprehend
While you and I can never be together again

The early morning light that slowly fills the room
Makes your golden hair shine like the sun
And late up in Penta I'm still listening to
Every song that ever made me fall for you..fell for you

I look out of the window for the girl I knew yesterday
So hard to understand there's nothing I can do
Now I'm going out of my mind following you
Going out of my mind following you...




Track info: A Spanish classic introduced to us by our friend the Breadface. We heard the song, liked it and attempted to put our own spin on it. With a little help from Bob Susnjara from the Pyramidiacs we translated the lyrics so they sound almost like English, and later that day, we recorded it in Madrid with the ever-handsome Ricardo. We barely knew the song when we stumbled through it live at Benicassim '99 (I remember staring at Dave's hands for the chord changes). The audience loved it though, and the rest is history. -Steve Hurley-

The original version from the eighties by Nacha Pop makes reference to local clubs in Madrid. A few years after the death of the Spanish dictator Franco, Spain finally became free and this led to a new scene that lasted for at least a decade. It was so important that even till today, Madrid is one of the most famed cities for nightlife in the world. The Penta was the first (or the second) real club with live music from the new Madrid band scene. The group Nacha Pop originated from this scene and were at a daily basis in Penta, either playing or listening to other bands. The band broke up and one of the 2 main members continued a solo career : Antonio Vega. The song has gotten a come-back in Spain with the Gigolo Aunts version. It has been recently used for a local commercial and it has made everyone wonder who the Gigolo Aunts are. - Thanks to Marc from Madrid for the missing words and the song's story!

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Arguably Buckley's most famous work, this was originally written and recorded by Leonard Cohen in 1984 on his album Various Positions.

Buckley started covering this after he became inspired by John Cale's version off his 1992 album Fragments Of A Rainy Season. Cale shaped his own interpretation after Cohen faxed him 15 pages of lyrics for this song. He claimed that he "went through and just picked out the cheeky verses."

Rufus Wainwright recorded this for the 2001 movie Shrek. Wainwright did not sing on the version used in the film (John Cale did), but his version is on the soundtrack. Wainwright records for Dreamworks, who also distributed the movie. Wainwright had an album coming out a few weeks after Shrek was released, so this was good promotion for it.
