If I can dream

Imagen
  Canción de Walter Earl Brown popularizada por Elvis Presley por su alusión a la frase de Martin Luther King de 1963 "I have a dream". Grabada por Elvis en 1968 dos meses después del asesinato de Luther King. Letra There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true Oh why There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear We're lost in a cloud With too much rain We're trapped in a world That's troubled with pain But as long as a man Has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in...

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Imagen
  (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay  es una canción escrita en 1968 por Otis Redding y  Steve Cropper . Para algunos la mejor canción de la historia. Su estilo es diferente al resto de canciones de Otis, en esta ocasión, mas lento y reflexivo. Letra Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay 'Cause I've had nothin' to live for It look like nothin's gonna come my way So I'm just gon' sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time Look like nothin's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain th...
