Their recent 'best of' release 'High Times: The Singles', released in November 2006, went straight in at No.1 and has gone double platinum (600,000 copies) in the UK as well as topping the charts across much of Europe and scoring high in the US. 2003 saw Jamiroquai's third appearance on the Montreux stage. The band deliver a blistering two hour plus set crammed with hit singles and much loved album tracks led from the front by Jay Kay's charisma, movement and compulsory headgear.

LYRICS

Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a glass
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight

The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

LYRICS

[Gotye:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye:]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[x2]
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody

Lyrics:

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Written by Bryan Adams, Robert John 'Mutt' Lange and Michael Kamen 1991

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it there's nothin' I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

Summer Of '69

Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance
1984 Published by adams communications inc. / Testatyme Music Corp. / Rondor Music

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it til my fingers bled

It was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Ya - I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you

Standin' on your Mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your Mama's porch

You told me it would last forever

Oh the way you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of '69

Me and my baby in a '69...

The Beatles - Hey Jude

The Beatles Performing Hey Jude [HD]

Introduced By David Frost

8th September 1968.

"Hey Jude" is a song by The Beatles. Credited to Lennon/McCartney, the ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song Paul McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son Julian during his parents' divorce.

"Hey Jude" begins with a verse-bridge structure based around McCartney's vocal performance and piano accompaniment; further instrumentation is added as the song progresses to distinguish sections. After the fourth verse, the song shifts to a fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes.
http://www.facebook.com/HDBeatles

"Hey Jude" was released in August 1968 as the first single from The Beatles' record label Apple Records.

More than seven minutes in length, "Hey Jude" was, at the time, the longest single ever to top the British charts. It also spent nine weeks as number one in the United States—the longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles single. The single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional lists of the all-time best songs.

In 1968, John Lennon and his wife Cynthia Lennon separated due to John's affair with Yoko Ono. Soon afterwards, Paul McCartney drove out to visit Cynthia and Julian, her son with Lennon.

"We'd been very good friends for millions of years and I thought it was a bit much for them suddenly to be personae non gratae and out of my life," McCartney said.

Cynthia Lennon recalled, "I was truly surprised when, one afternoon, Paul arrived on his own. I was touched by his obvious concern for our welfare.... On the journey down he composed 'Hey Jude' in the car. I will never forget Paul's gesture of care and concern in coming to see us."

The song's original title was "Hey Jules", and it was intended to comfort Julian Lennon from the stress of his parents' divorce.

McCartney said:

"I started with the idea 'Hey Jules', which was Julian, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey, try and deal with this terrible thing. I knew it was not going to be easy for him. I always feel sorry for kids in divorces ... I had the idea [for the song] by the time I got there. I changed it to 'Jude' because I thought that sounded a bit better."

Julian Lennon discovered the song had been written for him almost twenty years later. He remembered being closer to McCartney than to his father:

"Paul and I used to hang about quite a bit—more than Dad and I did. We had a great friendship going and there seems to be far more pictures of me and Paul playing together at that age than there are pictures of me and my dad."

Although McCartney originally wrote the song for Julian Lennon, John Lennon thought it had actually been written for him:

"But I always heard it as a song to me. If you think about it... Yoko's just come into the picture. He's saying. 'Hey, Jude—Hey, John.' I know I'm sounding like one of those fans who reads things into it, but you can hear it as a song to me ... Subconsciously, he was saying, Go ahead, leave me. On a conscious level, he didn't want me to go ahead.

Other people believed McCartney wrote the song about them, including Judith Simons, a journalist with the Daily Express.

Still others, including John Lennon, have speculated that McCartney's failing long-term relationship with Jane Asher when he wrote "Hey Jude" was an unconscious "message to himself". In fact, when Lennon mentioned that he thought the song was about him, McCartney denied it, and told Lennon he had written the song about himself.

Writer Mark Hertsgaard noted "many of the song's lyrics do seem directed more at a grown man on the verge of a powerful new love, especially the lines 'you have found her now go and get her' and 'you're waiting for someone to perform with.'"

Tim Riley wrote, "If the song is about self-worth and self-consolation in the face of hardship, the vocal performance itself conveys much of the journey. He begins by singing to comfort someone else, finds himself weighing his own feelings in the process, and finally, in the repeated refrains that nurture his own approbation, he comes to believe in himself."

McCartney changed the title to "Hey Jude" because the name Jude was easier to sing.

Much as he did with "Yesterday", McCartney played the song for other musicians and friends.

When McCartney introduced Lennon to his new composition, he came to "the movement you need is on your shoulder" and told Lennon "I'll fix that bit." Lennon asked why, and McCartney answered "...it's a stupid expression; it sounds like a parrot." Lennon parried with "You won't, you know. That's the best line in the song." McCartney thus left the line in, and later said "...when I play that song, that's the line when I think of John, and sometimes I get a little emotional during that moment."

Ahh...
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why

When we get crazy,
it just ain't to right,
(try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(don't get caught in your little world)
'Cause I love you
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
and I can't tell you why
no, baby,
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why

Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
No, no, baby,
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why...

Zeca Afonso - O que faz falta

25 anos depois...
D.E.P | R.I.P.

José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos, também conhecido por Zeca Afonso,

(Aveiro, 2 de Agosto de 1929 — Setúbal, 23 de Fevereiro de 1987)

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Afonso

A reedição de 11 discos de José Afonso e espectáculos musicais em várias cidades portuguesas e no estrangeiro contam-se entre as iniciativas a realizar, na quarta-feira, para assinalar os 25 anos da morte do cantor.

Lisboa, Grândola, Barreiro, Coimbra, Açores, Barcelona e Newark são alguns dos locais onde os 25 anos da morte de José Afonso são lembrados na quarta-feira, para manter «vivo o espírito do Zeca e a lição de dignidade» que transmitiu a todos, como disse à agência Lusa Francisco Fanhais, companheiro de cantigas e de estrada de José Afonso, no período antes do 25 de Abril de 1974 e actualmente dirigente da Associação José Afonso.
Considerado durante muito tempo um músico de intervenção, José Afonso é, para Francisco Fanhais e para o jornalista Viriato Teles, «muito mais do que um cantor ou um músico de intervenção».
Essa designação serve mesmo, para Francisco Fanhais, «para menosprezar toda a parte poética e musical que José Afonso revelou e é um álibi muito bom para que os divulgadores de música o possam banir com toda a tranquilidade».
«Cada uma das canções de José Afonso faz parte de um conjunto de grande valor musical e poético que, penso, está ainda por descobrir», disse Francisco Fanhais.
Também o jornalista Viriato Teles, autor do livro As voltas de um andarilho – Fragmentos da vida e obra de José Afonso, considera que José Afonso «está ao nível de um dos grandes criadores musicais do mundo».
«Ao contrário do que habitualmente fazemos, que é compararmos os portugueses com artistas estrangeiros, eu acho que o Pete Seeger é o Zeca Afonso norte-americano», disse o jornalista, sublinhando que José Afonso «está ao nível de um Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Léo Ferré ou mesmo de um Jacques Brel».
Considerar a obra de José Afonso apenas do ponto de vista da cantiga de intervenção «é do mais redutor que existe, até porque mesmo nesse campo ele esteve sempre à frente do tempo dele», disse Viriato Teles à Lusa, acrescentando que a obra musical de José Afonso era «tão complexa do ponto de vista poético como musical».
«Talvez por não ter formação musical, a obra de José Afonso era bastante complexa, já que ela mudava de compasso a meio das cantigas e isso tornava tudo bastante difícil e especial», frisou.
Viriato Teles não hesita mesmo em afirmar que José Afonso era «um génio, tal como Carlos Paredes» e que, por isso mesmo, quando José Afonso morreu «Paco Ibañez disse que Zeca teve azar de ter nascido português».
«Se tivesse nascido nos Estados Unidos estaria ao nível desses grandes criadores mundiais», disse, na altura, Paco Ibañez, lembrou Viriato Teles.
O jornalista invoca mesmo o facto de a obra de José Afonso ser a obra de um cantor português «mais divulgada a nível mundial».
«Basta ver a quantidade de versões de canções do Zeca, e não apenas a de Grândola vila morena, que existem no estrangeiro», disse, exemplificando com os casos de Charlie Haden e Carla Bley, Nara Leão ou as de Pi de la Serra e Luis Pastor.
«Pi de La Serra e Luis Pastor consideram mesmo que José Afonso foi o pai da nova música espanhola», sublinhou.
«Se há de facto um músico português que se universalizou foi o Zeca, se calhar tanto ou mais do que Amália, embora esta tenha tido mais visibilidade», frisou Viriato Teles.
Viriato Teles e Francisco Fanhais concordam ainda num outro ponto: «Apesar de reconhecido, José Afonso não tem ainda hoje o estatuto que devia ter na música».
Para assinalar os 25 anos da morte de José Afonso, a Movieplay vai editar agora – com a etiqueta Art’Orfeumedia – versões remasterizadas, com notas adicionais aos originais, assinadas pelo jornalista Gonçalo Frota, os onze álbuns que José Afonso editou para a Orfeu, disse à Lusa fonte da editora.

Lyrics:

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know, whoa

But I know

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know, whoa

but I know

I never opened myself this way

Life is ours, we live it our way

All these words I don't just say

And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you

Every day for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for things they say

Never cared for games they play

I'd never cared for what they do

I'd never cared for what they know

And I know

Yeah!

So close no matter how far

Couldn't be much more from the heart

Forever trusting who we are

And nothing else matters

Scott McKenzie - San Francisco - Forrest Gump

"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" is a song, written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and sung by Scott McKenzie. It was written and released in June 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival.

McKenzie's song became an instant hit. The lyrics tell the listeners, "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". Due to the difference between the lyrics and the actual title, the title is often quoted as "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)". "San Francisco" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and was number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.[citation needed]

In Central Europe, young people adopted "San Francisco" as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising against Soviet rule.[citation needed]

The song has been featured in several films, including Frantic, The Rock and Forrest Gump (Wikipedia).
