Have the Heart

Have the Heart es una pegadiza canción del artista estadounidense Post Malone en colaboración con la cantante estadounidense Dolly Parton, que forma parte del álbum del primero que lleva por título F-1 Trillion: Long Bed y que ha sido lanzado en este 2024.

Una fusión inesperada, que desafían las expectativas y que nos sorprende gratamente por lo bien que funciona esta unión entre dos artistas de mundos aparentemente distantes, creando una armonía vocal que nos transporta a un universo musical único.

A pesar de los sonidos más modernos que caracterizan la música de Post Malone, esta canción es un claro homenaje al country tradicional, donde la melodía y los arreglos nos recuerdan a los grandes clásicos del género, y donde la presencia de la icónica Dolly Parton, refuerza esta conexión con las raíces de este estilo musical.

Una colaboración que demuestra que la música no tiene límites y que la unión de diferentes estilos puede dar lugar a resultados sorprendentes dando lugar a grandes canciones.

Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
Yeah, and trouble rode in on the back of a pale white horse
You're so sweet, and tryna leave is like
Slammin' a revolvin' door (Mhm)
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours

I should be calling it quits instead of calling you up
We should be making some plans (Mm)
Instead of makin' love (Oh)
We're playing chicken with: Enough is enough

Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
Yeah, and trouble rode in on the back of a pale white horse
You're so sweet, and tryna leave is like
Slammin' a revolvin' door (Mhm)
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours

I don't have the heart
Mm-mm-mm-mm

Wanna hear somethin' sexy?
I like the way that my bed is looking over your boots
And them bell-bottoms I wear make workin' out hard to do
We know well that it ain't gonna work
Oh, what the hell's one more night gonna hurt?

Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
Yeah, and trouble rode in on the back of a pale white horse
You're so sweet, and tryna leave is like
Slammin' a revolvin' door (Mhm)
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours (To break yours)

We should saw this love in half on the sawdust floor
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
Baby, I don't have the heart to break yours
I just can't do it

Morning Train (Nine to Five)

9 to 5 es una pegadiza canción escrita y compuesta por Florrie Palmer e interpretada por la cantante escocesa Sheena Easton que fue lanzada como segundo sencillo en 1980 del que sería su álbum publicado al año siguiente y que llevó por título Take My Time.

El tema, posiblemente el mayor éxito en la carrera de la artista escocesa, fue lanzado en 1981 en Estados Unidos y Canadá bajo el título Morning Train (Nine to Five) para evitar confusiones con el reciente éxito de la cantante estadounidense Dolly Parton que tenía por título 9 to 5.

La canción de Easton fue uno de los sencillos más vendidos del año consiguiendo llegar a las primeras posiciones de las listas musicales de varios países como el Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Australia, Canadá o Nueva Zelanda, logrando mantenerse durante 4 meses en los listados musicales.

I wake up every mornin', I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and yawnin', another day ahead
It seems to last forever and time goes slowly by
'Til babe and me's together, then it starts to fly
'Cause the moment that he's with me, time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me, everything's alright
Nighttime is the right time, we make love
Then it's his and my time, we take off

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine to five and then
He takes another home again to find me waitin' for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine to five and then
He takes another home again, to find me waitin' for him

He takes me to a movie or to a restaurant
To go slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he's with me, I catch light
Only when he gives me, makes me feel alright

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine to five and then
He takes another home again to find me waitin' for him

All day I think of him, dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him and he's crazy mad for me (crazy mad for me)
When he steps off that train, amazingly full of fight
Work all day to earn his pay, so we can play all night

My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine to five and then
He takes another home again to find me waitin' for him

He's always on that morning train (my baby takes the morning train)
(He works from nine to five and then) he works so hard
(He takes another home again) to find me waiting for him
(My baby takes the morning train)
(He works from nine to five and then)
(He takes another home again to find me waitin' for him)

If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me

If I Said You Had A Beuatiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me es una canción escrita por David Bellamy e interpretada por The Bellamy Brothers. Se lanzo en 1979 como segundo sencillo del álbum The Two and Only convirtiéndose en su primer tema que consigue llegar al Nº 1. Curiosamente el éxito le llegó antes en Irlanda del Norte que en Estados Unidos.

En 2005 volvieron a grabar la canción para su álbum Angels & Outlaws, vol. 1 junto a la cantante Dolly Parton.

If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me

Now we can talk all night about the weather
Tell you 'bout my friends out on the coast
I could ask a lot of crazy questions
Or I could ask what I really want to know

If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me

Now rain can fall so soft against the window
The sun can shine so bright up in the sky
But daddy always told me, 'Don't make small talk'
He said, 'Come on out and say what's on your mind'

So If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight
If I were dying of thirst
Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me

If I said you had a beautiful body
Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel
Would you treat me like the devil tonight...

Bows and flows of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

Feather cannons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

Now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would have done

But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's clouds illusions i recall

I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels

The dizzy, dancing way you feel

When every fairy tale comes true

I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show

You leave 'em laughing when you go

And if you care don't let them know

Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now

From give and take and still somehow

It's loves illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud

To say I love you right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads

They say I've changed

Well somethings lost and somethings gained in living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and loose and still somehow

It's lifes illusions I recall

I really don't know life

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's clouds illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

I really don't know life at all

In the Ghetto

In the Ghetto es un clásico del rock escrito por Mac Davis, originalmente titulado The vicious circle y popularizado en 1969 por el gran Elvis Presley para su álbum From Elvis in Memphis.

El tema ha sido versionado en numerosas ocasiones por distintos artistas entre los que se encuentran The Cranberries, Dolly Parton o El Príncipe Gitano haciendo una versión bastante particular y curiosa.

As the snow flies

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

'cause if there's one thing that she don't need

it's another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

People, don't you understand

the child needs a helping hand

or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

Take a look at you and me,

are we too blind to see,

do we simply turn our heads

and look the other way

Well the world turns

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

plays in the street as the cold wind blows

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

And his hunger burns

so he starts to roam the streets at night

and he learns how to steal

and he learns how to fight

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation

a young man breaks away

He buys a gun, steals a car,

tries to run, but he don't get far

And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

face down on the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

And her young man dies

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',

another little baby child is born

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

As his mama cries

In the ghetto

In the ghetto
