"I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a song by the Los Angeles folk rock band The Byrds that was first released in June 1965 on the B-side of the band's second single, "All I Really Want to Do". It was also included on The Byrds' debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man.[1] Written by Gene Clark, who also sings the lead vocal, "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" features some of The Byrds' early musical trademarks, including Jim McGuinn's jangling 12-stringRickenbacker guitar; Clark's pounding tambourine; McGuinn, Clark and David Crosby's complex harmony singing; and a country-influenced guitar solo.[2][3][4] Although it was initially released as a B-side, "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" was itself heavily promoted by Columbia Records during the time that "All I Really Want to Do" spent on the Billboard charts and as a result, the song actually managed to chart in its own right at #103. Since its release, the song has become a rock musicstandard, inspiring a number of cover versions over the years.It is also considered by many critics to be one of the band's, as well as Clark's, best and most popular songs, with Rolling Stone magazine ranking it at #234 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[6][7]
Lyrically, "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" takes a sardonic view of romance, with Clark undecided about whether to break off a relationship with a woman who hasn't been entirely honest with him.The song dates from The Byrds' pre-fame residency at Ciro'snightclub in L.A. as Clark explained during an interview: "There was a girlfriend I had known at the time, when we were playing at Ciro's. It was a weird time in my life because everything was changing so fast and I knew we were becoming popular. This girl was a funny girl, she was kind of a strange little girl and she started bothering me a lot. And I just wrote the song, 'I'm gonna feel a whole lot better when you're gone,' and that's all it was, but I wrote the whole song within a few minutes."
The song is built around a pounding riff that Clark later admitted was based on "Needles and Pins" by The Searchers.[6] The song's refrain of "I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone" betrays Clark's uncertainty about ending the relationship and whether such an act would be the answer to his problems or not. The use of the word "probably" in the song is key, giving the track a depth of subtext that was unusual for a pop song at the time. Jim Dickson, The Byrds' manager, has noted that this level of subtext was not unusual in Clark's songs of the period: "There was always something to unravel in those songs, the non-explanation of the complex feeling. For instance, if you remember I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better, it doesn't say: "I'll feel a whole lot better", but "I'll probably feel a whole lot better." For me, that makes the song. There's a statement followed by a hesitation." Dickson would later work as a producer on Clark's 1984 album Firebyrd, which featured a re-recorded version of "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better".
Cover versions
Tom Petty covered the song on his 1989 solo album, Full Moon Fever.[3] The Israeli band Hazvuvim (The Flys) performed a version of the song translated into Hebrew on their debut album Bzzz....[citation needed] The Hebrew version was titled "Hasiba hi she...", which means "The Reason Why," the first line of the song.[citation needed]
Argentinian rock musician Charly García covered the song on his 1990 album, Filosofía Barata y Zapatos de Goma. The track was named "Me Siento Mucho Mejor" and the lyrics were translated into spanish.
Country pop artist Juice Newton covered the song on her 1985 Old Flame album but the song is slightly retitled as "Feel a Whole Lot Better".[12] Newton's version also alters some of the song's verse lyrics. Likewise, The Crust Brothers covered the song on their 1998 live album, Marquee Mark, under this slightly altered title.[13]
The reason why, Oh, I can say, I have to let you go, babe. And right away. After what you did I can't stay on. And I'll probably feel a whole lot better When you're gone.
Baby, for a long time You had me believe That your love was all mine And that's the way it would be. But I didn't know That you were putting me on. And I'll probably feel a whole lot better When you're gone.
Now, I've got to say That it's not like before, And I'm not gonna play Your games any more. After what you did I can't stay on. And I'll probably feel a whole lot better When you're gone. Oh, when you're gone. Oh, when you're gone. Oh, when you're gone.
"In the Summertime" is a song recorded in 1970 by the Britishpop-blues band Mungo Jerry. Written by the group's leader Ray Dorset, this song, which celebrates the carefree days of summer, reached the Number 1 position on charts around the world (including seven weeks in the UK), Number 1 for 2 weeks in Canada, and Number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the US. It is considered one of the highest selling singles of all time with an estimated 5-10 million copies sold[1]..
It was unusual because the initial UK release, on Dawn Records (a new label launched by Pye), was a maxi-single, playing at 33 rpm (whereas singles generally played at 45 rpm), including an additional song, Mighty Man, also written by Dorset, on the A-side, and a much longer track, the Woody Guthrie song Dust Pneumonia Blues, on the B-side. As it was housed in a picture sleeve (something which only became commonplace about eight years later), and only sold at a few pence more than the normal 45 rpm two-track single, it was considered excellent value for money. Small quantities of 45 rpm discs, on the light blue Pye record label, were pressed for use in jukeboxes, and these are now rare collectors' items.

"I Got You Babe" (en español: Te Tengo Bebé) es la canción que llevó al estrellato al dúo de pop norteamericano Sonny & Cher en el año 1965.
Compuesta por Salvatore Phillip Bono (Sonny Bono) y cantada a dúo con su esposa, supuso su lanzamiento a nivel internacional y su confirmación como estrellas de la música en EE.UU.
La canción ha sido reinterpretada en multitud de ocasiones por la pareja, su última interpretación de la misma fue en el año 1987 en el programa de David Letterman, fue la última aparición conjunta de la pareja separada desde 1974.
Posteriormente Cher realizó un versión de la misma en compañía de los dibujos animados Beavis and Butthead. Destacable es también el cover realizado a dúo entre Chrissy Hynde y UB40.
En el año 2003 Cher en compañía de Michael Stipe, líder de R.E.M. reinterpretó la canción, y fue la única vez que lo hizo sin su ex marido, según las propias palabras de Cher.
La canción fue usada en la película Atrapado en el tiempo (Groundhog Day), comedia romántica dirigida por Harold Ramis y estrenada en 1993.

The Doors - Touch Me Lyrics: C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Touch me, babe Can't you see that I am not afraid? What was that promise that you made? Why won't you tell me what she said? What was that promise that she made?
Now, I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now Now touch me, baby Can't you see that I am not afraid? What was that promise that you made? Why won't you tell me what she said? What was that promise that she made?
I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I I'm gonna love you Till the heavens stop the rain I'm gonna love you Till the stars fall from the sky For you and I
Y como no tengo ganas de buscar un buen traductor lo pongo en ingles ja!
"Touch Me" is a song by The Doors from their album The Soft Parade. Written by Robby Krieger, its riff was influenced by The Four Seasons' "C'mon Marianne." It is notable for its extensive usage of brass and string instruments (including a powerful solo by featured saxophonist Curtis Amy) to accent Jim Morrison's vocals. It was one of the most popular singles by The Doors.
It was released as a single in December 1968. The song reached #3 on the BillboardHot 100 and #1 in the CashboxTop 100 in early 1969 (the band's third American number-one single). The single also did well elsewhere, peaking at #1 in the RPMCanadian Singles Chart and at #10 in the Kent Music Report in Australia. However, despite the band's commercial success the previous year, "Touch Me" did not chart in the UK Singles Chart.
Working titles
According to Bruce Botnick's liner notes the song was initially referred to by its various working titles; "I'm Gonna Love You," from a line in the chorus, or "Hit Me," a reference to black jack playing. The opening line was originally "C'mon, hit me, I'm not afraid," the line thus reflecting the first person vantage point of a black jack player. Morrison reportedly changed the lyric out of concern that rowdy crowds at their live shows would mistakenly believe that "hit me" was a challenge to physically assault him.
One of the most famous television appearances of the Doors is of the group performing "Touch Me" on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour along with the single's B-side, "Wild Child." During the performance, Jim Morrison missed his cue for the lines "C'mon, c'mon" and Robby Krieger could be seen with a black eye.
"I Feel Free" es una canción primero registrada por Cream, de conjunto rock blues británica. Las letras de la canción fueron escritas por Pete Brown, su música fue compuesta por Jack Bruce. Esto era la primera pista sobre la versión de los EU de su álbum de estreno, Fresh Cream (1966), y el segundo golpe de la cinta solo, después de la liberación sorprendente "Wrapping Paper". Como todas las pistas sobre el primer álbum estadounidense de Cream, el crédito del productor fue a Robert Stigwood.
"I Feel Free" era una canción importante para la cinta. La canción contuvo uno de los más breves soloes de guitarra por Eric Clapton, y se hizo con eficacia la primera canción al escaparate lo que la cinta tuvo que ofrecer. Aunque la mayor parte del repertorio de la Nata fuera la roca de blues, esta canción presentó directamente la roca y aspectos psicodélicos.
"I Feel Free" fue registrado en septiembre de 1966 en Estudios Ryemuse. La pista fue registrada sobre un registrador Ampex de bobinas por Robert Stigwood y John Timperley. La canción fue dejada de la liberación británica de Nata Fresca, una idea de Robert Stigwood, y liberada como un solo.
Mientras que en su lanzamiento no logró popularidad (alcanzó el puesto 41 en el Reino Unido y el 85 en Estados Unidos), la canción, junto con el álbum, se convertirían posteriormente en uno de los himnos del grupo y del movimiento Mod en Inglaterra en los años 60.
En las actuales presentaciones en vivo, The Who añade una sección extra en el final de la canción, generalmente con letra improvisada. Tras la muerte de John Entwistle, la letra adicional en ocasiones, hace referencia de él y de su amor por el vino tinto, que más tarde inspiraría la canción "Old Red Wine", un homenaje hacia el mítico bajista del grupo.
