1. Unchained Melody
¿Cómo evitar las lágrimas en la escena de Ghost en la que Demi Moore se reencuentra con su amado mientras este tema suena de fondo? La letra fue escrita en los años 30 por un joven que anhelaba conquistar el corazón de una chica, pero la versión utilizada en el filme es de 1965 interpretada por The Righteous Brothers.
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh,
"Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
2. How deep is your love
Conseguí unos pantalones Oxford y saca a bailar a tu novio con la balada que The Bee Gees lanzó a la fama en 1977 cuando fue incluida, al igual que Stayin’ alive, en la banda sonora del clásico largometraje Fiebre de Sábado por la Noche.
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You’re the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You’re my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
3. The lady in red
El cantautor Chris de Burgh, que compuso esta letra pensando en su primer esposa, en 1986, llegó a encabezar los rankings de 25 países en 1986, gracias a esta love song. Si te pones un vestido rojo para bailarla ya es mucho… ¿no?
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance.
They're looking for a little romance,
Given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind.
The lady in red is dancing with me,
Cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as i do tonight.
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,
I love you...
4. Take my breath away
En 1987, al mismo tiempo que varias teens se derretían con Tom Cruise, escuchando este tema en la película Top Gun, sus autores recibían el Oscar a la Mejor Canción Original. La banda Berlin fue la encargada de ponerle la voz y la culpable del primer beso de muchos enamorados.
Watching every motion,
In my foolish lover's game,
On this endless ocean,
Finally lovers know no shame,
Turning and returning,
To some secret place inside,
Watching in slow motion,
As you turn around and say.
Take my breath away,
Take my breath away.
Watching i keep waiting,
Still anticipating love,
Never hesitating,
To become the fated ones,
Turning and returning,
To some secret place inside,
Watching in slow motion,
As you turn around and say.
Take my breath away,
Take my breath away.
Through the hourglass i saw you,
in time you slipped away,
When the mirror crashed i called you,
And turned to hear you say,
'If only for today
I am afraid'.
Take my breath away,
Take my breath away.
Watching every motion,
In my foolish lover's game,
On this endless ocean,
Finally lovers know no shame,
Turning and returning,
To some secret place inside,
Watching in slow motion,
As you turn around and say.
Take my breath away,
Take my breath away.
5. Nothing's gonna change my love for you
Un lento bien ochentoso que llevó al estrellato al cantante Glenn Medeiros, quien después de este tema, lanzado en 1987, ¡no volvió a tener otro éxito!
If I had to live my life without you near me,
The days would all be empty,
The nights would seem so long,
With you I see forever,
Oh, so clearly I might have been in love before,
But it never felt this strong,
Our dreams are young and we both know,
They'll take us where we want to go,
Hold me now,
Touch me now,
I don't want to live without you.
Nothing's gonna change my love for you,
You ought to know by now how much I love you,
One thing you can be sure of,
I'll never ask for more than your love,
Nothing's gonna change my love for you,
You ought to know by now how much I love you.
If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us,
Like a guiding star,
I'll be there for you if you should need me,
You don't have to change a thing,
I love you just the way you are,
So come with me and share the view,
I'll help you see forever too,
Hold me now,
Touch me now,
I don't want to live without you.
Nothing's gonna change my love for you,
You ought to know by now how much I love you,
One thing you can be sure of,
I'll never ask for more than your love,
Nothing's gonna change my love for you,
You ought to know by now how much I love you.
6. Eternal flame
‘Close your eyes. Give me your hand, darling’. Top entre las canciones románticas, fue interpretada por primera vez en 1988 por The Bangles, una banda californiana compuesta por cuatro chicas. Cuando la pasaban en las discos, los tímidos aprovechaban para encarar a la chica que les gustaba.
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling,
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, darling.
I watch you when you are sleeping,
You belong with me,
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?
Say my name,
The sun shines through the rain,
A whole life so lonely,
And then you come and ease the pain,
I don't want to lose this feeling.
7. Nothing compares 2 U
Escrita e interpretada inicialmente por Prince, empezó a sonar en todas las radios del mundo en 1989, gracias a la bella irlandesa Sinead O’Connor. Este fue el boom de la controvertida cantante, una pionera en esto de aparecer con la cabeza rapada, estilo que después adoptaron varias famosas.
It's been seven hours and fifteen days,
Since u took your love away,
I go out every night and sleep all day,
Since u took your love away.
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want,
I can see whomever I choose,
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant,
But nothing,
I said nothing can take away these blues.
'Cos nothing compares,
Nothing compares 2 u.
It's been so lonely without u here,
Like a bird without a song,
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling.
Tell me baby where did I go wrong,
I could put my arms around every boy i see,
But they'd only remind me of you.
I went to the doctor guess what he told me,
Guess what he told me,
He said 'girl u better try to have fun no matter what u do',
But he's a fool.
'Cos nothing compares 2 u.
All the flowers that u planted mama,
In the back yardall died when u went away,
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard,
But i'm willing to give it another try.
'Cos nothing compares,
Nothing compares 2 u.
8. It must have been love
La balada mas reconocida del dúo sueco Roxette fue su segundo hit, después del consagratorio The Look. Como varios de los lentos que elegimos, fue incluido en la banda sonora de la película, que en este caso se trato de Pretty Woman, en 1990.
Lay a whisper on my pillow,
Leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away
It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.
Make-believing we're together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard winter's day I dream away.
It must have been love but it's over now,
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
It's where the water flows,it's where the wind blows.
9. November Rain
Guns n’ Roses logró ser una banda icono de la década del 90 y ésta es una de sus canciones inolvidables. El video, en el que Axl Rose comparte escenas con la modelo Stephanie Seymour –su novia en ese entonces-, forma parte de la trilogía de luxe que la completan Don’t cry y Extranged.
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained,
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same.
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change,
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain.
We've been through this auch a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain.
But lovers always come and lovers always go,
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today,
Walking away.
If we could take the time
to lay it on the line,
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine,
All mine.
So if you want to love me,
then darlin' don't refrain,
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain.
Do you need some time... on your own.
Do you need some time... all alone.
Everybody needs some time... on their own.
Don't you know you need some time... all alone.
I know it's hard to keep an open heart,
When even friends seem out to harm you,
But if you could heal a broken heart,
Wouldn't time be out to charm you.
Sometimes I need some time... on my own.
Sometimes I need some time... all alone.
Everybody needs some time... on their own.
Don't you know you need some time... all alone.
And when your fears subside,
And shadows still remain,
I know that you can love me,
When there's no one left to blame,
So never mind the darkness,
We still can find a way,
'Cause nothin' lasts forever,
Even cold November rain.
Don't ya think that you need somebody,
Don't ya think that you need someone,
Everybody needs somebody,
You're not the only one.
10. I will always love you
La versión original pertenece a la cantante Dolly Parton, pero se convirtió en uno de los singles mas vendidos en la historia de la música de la mano de Whitney Houston. Ella la interpretó para el filme El Guardaespaldas, de la que también fue protagonista junto con Kevin Costner en 1992.
So I go, but i know I will think of you every step of the way,
So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you.
Bittersweet memories.
That is all i'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know i'm not what you, you need.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I hope life treats you kindand I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.
You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always,
I'll always love you.
