"Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd


So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


We chose this lyric because it's one of Pink Floyd's popular songs, and it had been written for Syd Barret, a former member of the band who had to left it because of drug problems.

Ac Dc: “Decibel”

Take up all your time, 

Kick up your heels, lookin' fine, 
And you come riding blind, 
You come rollin' back a while, 
Wind blowin' on ya, 
We're gonna move on and on, 
Sweating heat, soak you all, 
Being out will make you crawl all night, 

Decibel, decibel, 

Has you from deep inside, 
You were waving then you smiled, 
Give me rock and roll, 
They're in love, 
Love, in the rain, 
They're in there rocking standing proud, 

Decibel, 
That's the history of rock and roll, 
Decibel, 

Rain is coming on, 
We're gonna ride along, 
A hundred miles in all, 
Getting in night Â'til dawn, 
Spread the joy going on, 
Yeah, hard and long, 
Staring down, with a shock hit the ground, 

Decibel, 
Decibel, 
Decibel, 
You come rolling back a while, 
Decibel, 

Decibel

We chose this because it is our favourite Ac Dc song. It is really energetic, crazy, and it has great guitar parts.                                                                                         By Fede and Toto (Federico and Hector).

We choose that song because is one of the most popular from The Rolling Stones, so, everybody can sing it while they are reading. It`s one of the oldest they have done, but still have the same fame it had in the moment it was created. We also choose it because it has a lot of rithm and it is so funny!

Charlie García

Carlos García was born in Buenos Aires on October 32, 1951. As a child he lived in Caballito with his father Carlos García, a gym and math teacher, and his mother, Carmen Moreno who worked on the Radio.
Charly started to play music when his parents gave him a little paino, he played classical music like Mozart, Chopin and Bach, but he changed his music taste after listening to “The Beatles” his favourite rock and roll band.
At school he met Nito Mestre, they formed “Sui Generis” a famous band, their hits are: “Bienvenidos al tren”, “confesiones de invierno, “lunes otra vez”, among others. After this, Charly had to go to the military service so they separated for a period of time.
“La máquina de hacer pájaros” was his next band, it was formed by García, Moro, Fernández, Basterrica and Cutaia, they only edited 2 albums called: “La máquina de hacer pájaros” and “Películas”.
But Charly García is not only famous because of his music, he is always in trouble. First the militars threw him out of the militar service because of his bad behaviou. When this happened he wrote “Canción para mi muerte” a Sui Generis hit. Nowadays he can´t go to Uruguay because he had a fight with a national journalist. Some years ago he threw himself from a window in a hotel from the ninth floor. Bur that is not all, he is a drug addict, he is in Palito Ortega 's(famous Argentina´s singer) country farm, there he is recording a new album.
Charly García is a famous and very talented singer, but also very controversial.

The Rolling Stones

Who hasn’t sung “I can get no satisfaction” at least once in their lives? The Rolling Stones have clearly marked an era in rock music. It all started in 1962, in London, when Brian Jones and Ian Stewart joined Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts completed the early lineup. Jones dies in 1969, and is replaced by Mick Tyler, who leaves the band a few years later; Ronnie Wood then takes over his place. Ian Stewart died in 1985 and Bill Wyman leaves the band in 1993.
The Rolling Stones have collected many hits along their history, including “Paint It, Black”, “Brown Sugar”, “Sympathy for the Devil”, and the list goes on!
Even though the band has over 40 years of history, they keep releasing records and going on tours, and they have fans of all ages.
A curious fact about the band is that they don't have an official bassist, but Darryl Jones plays with them since Wyman left.

The Beatles




The complete name of the group is The Beatles. They played rock music. The band was formed in Liverpool, England in 1960. During their career the band was formed principally by John Lennon (guitar, voice), Paul McCartney (bass, voice), George Harrison (guitar, voice) and Ringo Starr (drum, voice) but at first other two members participated too: Pete Best in the drums and Stuart Sutcliffe in the bass. The first one was dismissed by the group in 1962 and replaced by Ringo, and the second one, sometimes called “The Fifth Beatle”, died of a brain haemorrage in 1962. From the beginning they played rock with the alternative psychodelic rock. They were one of the most famous bands in their times because of the lyrics and themes in their songs. It also helped their type of clothes and their way to be. Their songs were expanded to all over the world and they sold millions of albums. Their most famous songs are “Let it be”, “Yesterday”, “ Help!”, “Lucy in the sky with diamonds” and “I want to hold your hand”, among others.
