TESLA - What you give (genial para los nostálgicos)

Fue la primera canción que escuché de Tesla. Curiosamente no fue ni Love Song o Paradise. Estaba un poco aburrido y como soy un amante del Hard Rock me puse a buscar bandas del género por YouTube y encontré Tesla. Esta canción es la típica balada de amor de los grupos de los 80's.

Como dije anteriormente, no conocía el trabajo de Tesla – increíble pero cierto – y me gustó mucho.

Desde la pegajosa entrada acústica de Frank Hannon en su guitarra hasta el solo melódico de Dave Rude y Hannon en sus guitarras Les Paul. Soy guitarrista y quizás me haya fijado más en los guitarristas, pero no puedo olvidar tampoco la rockera voz de Jeff Keith, la simpática interpretación del bajo por parte de Brian Wheat y la serena y apropiada batería de Troy Luccketta.

Para no solo hablar de mis impresiones, también diré que la canción pertenece al álbum Psychotic Supper de 1991. Este álbum fue condecorado como disco platino por la RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) en 1993.

TESLA - What you give

Who's the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you're livin' for?
Who's the reason for your smile?

I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way.
I love ya so much that I think I'm goin' insane.
I'm goin' crazy, outta my head.
Goin' crazy, outta my head.
Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love,
And what you give.

Now, ev'ry one needs somebody.
And you know, ev'rybody needs someone.
Well, and a-yes it's true!
Ev'rybody needs a special kind of love,
And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of.
You mean the world to me.
You are my only!

I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To carry on this way.
I love ya so much I lose track-a time,
Lose track of the days.
I'm goin' outta my head,
Goin' crazy, outta my head.
Can't think about a-nothin' but your good, good love,
And what you give.

It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give,
It's not whatcha got, a-but the life you live.
It's the life you live.
[Spoken:] Play it pretty for the world.

You're the one that makes me happy. Oh yeah baby.
And you're the one always on my mind. And a-yes it's true.
You are my reason, my one and only that I've been livin' for
Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more. (To Chorus)

It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
No, no, no, no, no!
It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give.
And it ain't what it's not, but a-what it is!

Only what you give, only what you give. It's only what you give.
It's not whatcha got, a-but a-what you give.
It's not whatcha got, it's a-what you give. A-what you give woman.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give,
It's not whatcha got, but a-what you give.
It's only what you give. Only what you give. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Only what you give. Only what you give.
Only what you give, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that good enough for the girls we run around with?
I do believe so. Ooh, ooh, uh-huh.
Only what you give, what you give. Only what you give.
Only what you give.
