Álbum Let's Dance de David Bowie - Canciones

Let's Dance

Reseña

"Let's Dance" es el decimoquinto álbum de estudio de David Bowie, el primero desde el anterior trabajo, "Scary Monsters", de 1980. "Let's Dance" fue lanzado el 14 de abril de 1983 por el sello EMI y vino tras unos años de intensas colaboraciones de Bowie con otros artistas, incluidas varias apariciones cinematográficas.

Tras abandonar el sello RCA Records debido a sus divergencias, Bowie fichó por EMI, siendo este su primer trabajo para la nueva discográfica. Para la producción contó con la colaboración de Nile Rodgers, de la banda de rock Chic.

EL álbum se grabó en diciembre de 1982 en la Power Station de la ciudad de Nueva York. Las sesiones contaron con colaboradores completamente nuevos, como una intención de Bowie de reseter con respecto a anteriores trabajos y comenzar de nuevo desde cero. Fue el primer disco en el que Bowie no interpretaba ningún instrumento, basando su participación únicamente en la voz.

El álbum contiene tres versiones de otros artistas, como son "China Girl" de Iggy Pop, "Criminal World" de Metro y una revisión del tema "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)", grabado originalmente por Bowie junto al músico italiano Giorgio Moroder en 1982, para la película del mismo título.

"Let's Dance" tuvo una gran acogida comercial, logrando auparse al primer puesto en las listas de numerosos países, siendo reconocido como el álbum más vendido de Bowie. Los cuatro sencillos del álbum también lograron buenas posiciones gracias a sus ventas. En cambio, las críticas no fueron unánimes.

Tanto el tema principal como "China Girl" contaron con sendos videoclips que tuvieron gran acogida y fueron reproducidos continuamente en el canal MTV.

"Let's Dance" inicia una fase de descenso creativo de Bowie, con álbumes posteriores de escasa calidad, tal y como reconoció el propio artista. Fue su último trabajo con Tony Visconti, con quien no volvería a colaborar hasta 2002.

    letra de China Girl

    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

    I could escape this feeling, with my china girl
    I feel a wreck without my, little china girl
    I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
    Saw the stars crashing

    I'm a mess without my, little china girl
    Wake up mornings wheres my, little china girl
    I hear hearts beating, loud as thunder
    I saw they stars crashing down

    I feel an tragic like an marlon brando
    When I look at my china girl
    I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
    When I look at my china girl

    I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
    Visions of swastikas in my head
    Plans for everyone
    Its in the white of my eyes

    My little china girl
    You shouldn't mess with me
    Ill ruin everything you are
    Ill give you television
    Ill give you eyes of blue
    Ill give you men who want to rule the world

    And when I get excited
    My little china girl says
    Oh baby just you shut your mouth
    She says... Sh
    She says
    She says

    And when I get excited
    My little china girl says
    Oh baby just you shut your mouth
    And when I get excited
    My little china girl says
    Oh baby just you shut your mouth
    She says... Sh
    She says

    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
    Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

    letra de Criminal World

    You never told me of your other faces
    You were the widow of a wild cat
    And now I know about your special kisses
    And I know you know where that's at
    I guess I recognize your destination
    I think I see beneath your make-up
    What you want is sort of separation
    This is no ordinary
    This is no ordinary
    (ah, ah, ah)
    What a criminal world
    The boys are like baby-faced girls
    What a criminal girl
    She'll show you where to shoot your gun
    What a typical mother's son
    The only thing that she enjoys
    Is a criminal worl
    Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

    You've got a very heavy reputation
    But no one knows about your low-life
    I know a way
    To find a situation
    And hold a candle
    To your high life disguise
    You caught me kneeling
    At your sister's door
    That was no ordinary stick-up
    I'm well aware just
    What you're looking for
    I am no ordinary
    I am no ordinary
    (ah, ah, ah)
    What a criminal world
    The boys are like baby-faced girls
    What a criminal girl
    She'll show you where to shoot your gun
    What a typical mother's son
    The only thing that she enjoys
    Is a criminal world
    Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

    letra de Cat People (Putting Out Fire)

    See these eyes so green
    I can stare for a thousand years
    Colder than the moon
    Well, it's been so long

    And I've been running on fire
    With gasoline

    See these eyes so red
    Red like jungle burning bright
    Those who feel me near
    Pull the blinds and change their minds

    It's been so long

    Still this pulsing night
    A plague I call a heartbeat
    Just be still with me
    But you wouldn't believe what I've been through

    You've been so long, well, it's been so long

    And I've been putting out the fire with gasoline
    Putting out the fire with gasoline

    See these tears so blue
    An ageless heart that can never mend
    Tears can never dry
    A judgement made can never bend

    See these eyes so green
    I can stare for a thousand years
    Just be still with me
    You wouldn't believe what I've been through

    Well you've been so long, it's been so long

    And I've been putting out fire with gasoline
    Putting out fire with gasoline

    Putting out fire
    I've been putting out fire

    Well it's been so long, so long, so long
    Yes it's been so long, so long, so long
    I've been putting out fire

    Been so long, so long, so long
    Been so long, so long, so long
    Been so long, so long, so long
    ...
