Lowen & Navarro - We Belong (Bilingual)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I was getting frustrated in not being able to find a sample of this version of the song to share with others, so I decided to make my own. I took it from their Walking on a Wire CD, set it to the album cover, and put in the lyrics. A couple notes:
1. My purpose was to get the song up to not only share a great song, but to bring attention to Lowen & Navarro as a singing/songwriting duo. They wrote a lot of fantastic songs, many of which I grew up on. Unfortunately, Eric Lowen was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) 5 years ago and is no longer able to sing and play, but Dan Navarro still continues with his solo career. And yes, he's the cousin of Dave Navarro from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction.
2. Yeah, yeah - it's different from Pat Benatar's version. Considering these guys wrote it, I think they're able to take some liberties. Both versions are good, but I like this one more.
3. The editing isn't great, but I wasn't trying to be too creative (mostly because I'm not). I just wanted to get the song uploaded. The subtitles creep to the right, since the background decided to drift over. That's what I get for being a movie editing n00b and using movie making software for dummies (i.e., Windows Movie Maker).
As for the Spanish lyrics, I'm not a native speaker, but here's my rough translation (update: with corrections from @Jiniaz - thanks!):
In case you don't know
I assure you it's true
Affection that is sincere
It's not extinguished by cruelty
You forget what we were
And reject it instead
But while together, we pretended
That the moon was made of honey
Next to you, next to you
Is all I yearn
Next to you, like a ray of light
That the sky has sprouted
The prospects don't matter, if suffering
It's my sad destiny
Next to you, next to you
Until the end of the path
I think I took some liberties with the translation (it's a song, so I chose words that sounded semi-poetic), but if a more proficient speaker has a better one, please post. The lyrics/tabs I took it from didn't have any accenture and I think a few of the words may be incorrect (juntitos vs. juntidos). It sounds nicer in Spanish anyhow. Enjoy!
If you're interested in more of their music, check out their website (www.lownav.com/).
this musical duo and this song in particular are very underrated. L & N will always be part of my life soundtrack.
They came off the stage and stood in the middle of the audience and played this song. It was such a magic moment. Forever in my memory.
@@rcmarson5889 I wish I could've been there.
Excellent choice! I have the original CD, and now it seems that either version is a bear to find.
I caught their concert in '95, and this is the version they did, with no mics! They were in the middle of the room performing...T.O.B. (Thing Of Beauty)!
This is a song I always wished Linda Ronstadt recorded - including the Spanish verse. (Her Spanish singing is incredible!) It would have been an amazing cover!
There is a stellar version of L&N singing this live on a Cities Sampler (Cities 97, in Minneapolis). It was a very limited CD for charity but if you can find it, pay the insane eBay price & get it.... good video - thanks!
That's how I knew of this version. But alas, I lost my copy of the particular Cities Sampler : (
No doubt! If anyone has or knows where to find their "I've Had It All (Remix) + 6 Live Tracks", let me know!!
this version was on the Cities 97 Sampler back in '92 and i ran the needle thru it
"Don't want to leave you really...Just want to break the ice."
Thank you so much for doing this! Why this version is not widely available on music streaming services is beyond me, so glad you posted it with the Spanish subtitled.
I've been trying to find this version of this song online for AGES, thank you for uploading it!! This is the closest to the version I had on my childhood ipod (which my parents curated for me!), which is also my favorite version :)
Rest in Peace, Eric
Thank you for posting. Love it!
You'll be missed, Eric.
I been looking for this version for years! Thanks for posting
A memory from the TV series Sunset Beach!
Ha! Yes Ricardo & Paula ❤️
What? I remember this from Pat Benatar.
Love this song!
I love Mary's Song too. All their work is excellent, really.
Really....
thankyou God I LOVE those guys. Never get tired of listening to them.. Any suggestions on how I can get Crossing Over? Thats the one Im gunna sing @ my Fathers service when the time comes.
Thank you for posting this... it's one of my all time favorites!
I have been searching and waiting so long for someone to post this. years in fact. Thank You. So much more beautiful. God give you strength Mr. Lowen.
If you like this version, look for the Cities 97 Sampler Keepsakes (Vol 4) version. Done in the Cities 97 studio, acoustic, also with the 2nd verse in Spanish.
+Phil Alden The Cities Sampler version has always been my favorite as well. Thanks for reminding me to dig out the old volumes and listen again!
Phil Alden that really is the best version! I lost my cd a few years ago and haven't been able to replace it.
snflwr1977 -- It's on the rarer Volume 4 (Keepsakes) which is sometimes available on eBay at wildly different prices (anywhere from $15 to $95), and a remastered version (just as good) is on the two-disk Volume 20 which is frequently available on eBay for $15-$20 because it's more recent.
the best version!
@majaterry It's on two of the Samplers, if you're still looking. Volume 4 was released in 1992, and also on the Volume 20 (20th Anniversary) which was released in 2008. If I'm not mistaken, it's the only song to appear on more than one Sampler. If you're not from Minneapolis, that doesn't mean much, but it's a pretty big deal when over 400 songs have appeared by the world's biggest artists. Look up "Cities 97 Sampler" on Wikipedia and you'll see what I mean...
The Studio C recording on the Sampler is quite simply, the best version ever.
This song recorded as a Cities 97 Sampler cut is played repeatedly.
Try to learn lyrics; sing with this great recording. Thank you for posting this. And farewell Eric; thank you for all you did before March 2012.
i love we belong by pat benatar... and this one is so diferent...i love it!!
These guys wrote it. Pat Benetar's is a cover.
Pat WHO? Lowen and Navaro! :)
You are no longer silenced Eric. Harmonize with the angels....
Many thanks for posting this beautiful song by the ORIGINAL artist.
Dan Navarro's father singing the Spanish lyrics.
supremo,excelente video
this is so beautiful in its simplicity. i listened to the first guy singing, then the second...something about their voices that draws you in, in a way thats diff from benatar. thats sad to read about lowen. RIP
This isn't normally my genre of music, but someone that means a great deal to me turned me on to the original artists,then Eric passed...you know the rest
I wish I could purchase this on i-tunes......I can't find it....LOVE IT.
This album (Walking On a Wire) is definitely on iTunes.
Had the same-problem with this version, thank you for doing this!
Thanks for putting this out there....I've been searching for this version!
i had that sampler back in the day and bought it for that song only
Yup, me too.
Great job in putting this on. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.
Mon dieu c'est magnifique
❤
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded or written. And I'm picky.
I agree. I may be a Peabody Conservatory grad., but when it's a beauty it is what it is!
they wrote the song for her but like with most "remakes" they have to make a few changes
They didn't write the song for her. They wrote it for themselves.
Which Cities 97 Sampler is this song on?
