José Luis Perales, one of the most popular Spanish composers and singers in history, who still has four million unique listeners per month on Spotify, He hasn't died. It must be noted that what Wikipedia calls «"The poet of song"» and, in a more daring way, «"The Morrissey of Castejón"«, He remains in excellent health at seventy-eight years old, and has warned from London, where he is enjoying a well-deserved vacation, that he has no immediate intention of passing away. Perales is not leaving.
In recent days, some callow, macabre characters on social media, who knows with what intentions and interests, They have erroneously and maliciously announced the deaths of Morgan Freeman, Pedro Almodóvar, Amy Poehler, and now José Luis., causing a mass of fans and believers of any online advertisement to tear their hair out and weep for their idols, and, as a whole, feel their lives crumbling as they are proven wrong. These fake news They erode the credibility of media outlets that, trusting the source, publish without any caution what is said by fake news farms., waiting just minutes to correct and delete everything written.
Likewise, since we know that Perales is still alive and enjoying the delights of England, We have taken this opportunity to pay tribute to him through a special playlist. First of all, it must be remembered that José Luis, before recording his own musical works, He sold his compositions to prominent romantic ballad artists of the sixties and seventies. Among his most prominent clients were Fórmula V, Basilio, the Yerbabuena Duo, Paloma San Basilio, and Miguel Bosé. But perhaps the most recognized title from his hit factory of that era was Why are you leaving?, a song he recorded in 1974 an Englishwoman named Jeanette Anne Kristof, better known as Jeanette. That tune has been in the minds of young and old for almost fifty years and has been reinterpreted countless times around the world.
Today we bring fifteen versions of the same song, But their interpretations are so varied that, perhaps, just perhaps, our audience might think that what we're offering today is a diverse and unexpected menu of musical offerings. These are recordings made in Spain, Germany, France, Colombia, Argentina, Belgium, Ecuador, and Mexico. Here we will find Pop, Rock, Techno, Punk, Metal, Cumbia and Huapango, all in one package.
So that, from the very beginning of the list, everyone tunes in and doesn't miss a single word in the text of this composition, Here are the full lyrics:
Today the sun shines in my window.
And the heart
He gets sad looking at the city
Because you're leaving
Like every night I woke up
Thinking of you
And on my clock I saw all the hours pass by
Because you're leaving
All the promises of my love will go with you.
You will forget me
You will forget me
Beside the station today I will cry like a child
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Under the dim light of a lamppost
They will fall asleep
All the things left unsaid
They will fall asleep
Next to the hands of a clock
They will wait
All the hours that remained to be lived
They will wait
All the promises of my love will go with you.
You will forget me
You will forget me
Beside the station today I will cry like a child
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
All the promises of my love will go with you.
You will forget me
You will forget me
Beside the station today I will cry like a child
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
All the promises of my love will go with you.
You will forget me
You will forget me
Beside the station today I will cry like a child
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
Because you're leaving
