Once upon a time...Miguel Bose


Sometimes we listen a song and we feel a lot of things, and if have follow this blog you can see the music is the soundtrack of my life, and well this is an AMAZING song by Miguel Bose, he is an Spanish singer and songwriter, very successful and talented, his career began in the 70's and he still is recording great albums, in his life he has sing with artists like David Bowie(yay!), Alaska (I really love this woman too so we will have another review with this great woman from the spanish lands too) and other ones.



But well let's talk again from the GREAT Miguel Bose, Miguel Luchino González Bosé, he was born at April 3rd, 1956, his parents are the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin (deceased) and the Italian actress Lucia Bose (78 years old). He has sold more than 12 million albums in his all entire career. And he is a great actor too, he worked with Pedro Almodovar in the movie "Tacones Lejanos" .

Rising Bose
Hi started in the music world in the year of 1975, with the support of another Spanish singer, Camilo Sesto, his first song is "Linda" having a great success in all Spain and other countries in Latinamerica then with other two singles "Amiga" (Girlfriend) and "Mi libertad" (My freedom). In 1978 the 2nd album "Miguel Bose" with the song "Anna" gives the international vision in many European countries,
and in 1979 his 3rd album "Chicas!" (Girls!) gives him one of his greatest hits in the first part of his career "Super Superman".

The 80's has come an in the first Bose's era his look was like a cute and tender boy, a perfect image for girls and his success was growing up, in 1980 his 4th album "Miguel" gives more hits, "Morir de amor" (To die for love) and "Te amare" (I'll love you) was very accepted and the single "Olympic Games" was the most international of this album and the cover of this album was a tribute to his father, here Bose looks like a perfect bullfighter. With very large tours and re-editions of his albums in other languages come the year 1981 and the album "Mas alla" (Beyond) and the single "Marcha
te ya" (Go away) doesn't have the same popularity like his past singles and the label decide to do in 1982 a hits album with two unknown songs one of them "Bravo Muchachos" (Go boys, or his italian title Bravi Ragazzi) and gives him another hit in his record. In the same year he become in the godfather for a Mexican kids band named "Timbiriche" having an amazing popularity in Mexico. In Italy was the same situation and his album of 1983 "Milano Madrid" is the gift for the italian fans and in Spain the album "Made in Spain" (with compositions from other Spanish bands like Alaska y los Pegamoides, Radio Futura, Mecano and some other) but this one haven't luck and the new bands of the "Movida Madrilena" (Madrid's Movement) rock, wave and punk bands was being popular and the "cute boys" was losing fans.

The New Bose
In 1984 Miguel Bose decide to give a new way to his career and he began the conquer to a new public, changing his voice to a deeper voice and his influences going to styles more like David Bowie or Depeche Mode, and going against the will of the label he record the album "Bandido" (Bandit), and the singles "Sevilla" and "Amante Bandido" (Bandit Lover) returns to Bose to the charts, with a new look more adult, sofisticated, with a little vampire look with a lot of charisma and leaving behind the
"pretty boy" and being experimental was the way to follow with a new label and the albums Salamandra (Salamander) in 1986 and "XXX" in 1987 show a new talent becoming in a sensual man.

The 90's is carrying something more light in his sound with the album "Los chicos no lloran" (Boys don't cry) and his next work makes a compilations of his hits live in concert "Directo 90" (90 Direct). Is in 1992 when he made a goal with his actor face in the movie "Tacones Lejanos" by Pedro Almodovar
starring Victoria Abril, Marisa Paredes and Miguel Bose, where he is a judge (judge Dominguez) and a drag queen (Femme Letal), investigating the murder of the husband of Rebeca (Victoria Abril).

1993 mark the born of a new album "Bajo el signo de Cain" (Under the Sign of Cain) edited in english and italian, very experimental and deeply ambiental and the new hot list "Si tu no vuelves" (if don't come back) and "Nada Particular" (Nothing in Particular). After 2 years in 1995 "Laberinto" (Labirynth) is more experimental than the last one, with the singles "La autorradio canta" (The car stereo sings), "Este mundo va" (This world
goes by). In 1995 once again Bose makes another amazing role play in the cinematographic scene with the director Vicente Arandas in the movie "Libertarias" (Libertarians) and a short film by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

1996 his father dies for a Brain Stroke at 69 years old.

"Once maneras de ponerse un sombrero" (1998) is a tribute for his favorite Latin American songs, The beauty marks this album with singles like "Muro" (Wall) and "Solo pienso en ti" (I only think of you).

In 1999 B
ose did a new album compilating his last 16 years of his music career (1984-1998), "Lo mejor de Bose" (The best of Bose) includes 2 new singles: "Hacer por hacer" (Do and do) and "No hay ni un corazon que valga la pena" (There isn't a heart to die for) and 2 new versions of "Amante Bandido" and "Nena". I April of 1999 he had a car accident with his friend Rebeca de Alba, she only had low concusions but he had very hard wounds, 2 weeks later he appeared in a show awards with his friend Alejandro Sanz, they were dressed in the same way and Miguel was walking hardly.

After 2000

In period when he was Host in the Tv program "Septimo de caballeria" and after a big
accident were he almost lose his life, he started the Tour "Girados" (Spinners) with Ana Torroja the ex-vocalist of the band "Mecano" they went all over their hits of their music careers and recording all the tour in a double CD.

In 2001 appeared a new album "Sereno" (Serene) where he shows unknown faces of his life. 2004 gives a very ambitious project "Por vos yo muero" (I'm dying for you), he worked with his very close friend Alejandro Sanz, Chris Cameron and Nicolas Sorin, this album is a tribute to the soundtracks and his classical instruction when he was a boy. He only presented this show in a few cities in Spain and Mexico with different symphonic orchestras, one of the most important challenges in his career.

In 2005 goes out "Velvetina" a work that get closer to electronic, dance, trip hop and chill out, produced and written by Bose and Antonio Cortes, the lyrics were written in different languages, the DVD of this album have 13 videos, which one shows each song of the album, the creators of each video had freedom enough to do them. The design of "Velvetina" was made by David Delfin. One of his best albums for their deep and a little bit confusing lyrics, the video "Down with Love" was censure in Mexico for the "high erotic content" .

In 2007 goes out in the stores "Papito" were he reunite his bigger hits and doing featurings with international artists, having high numbers and the tour covers from Latin America, Spain and a concert in Italy after a little break he began again in 2008. Thia album has sold more than 2 800 000 albums in all over the world.


His sensuality gives this great (and one of my favorite) songs called "Aire soy":


AIRE SOY

Una idea, un continente, una mirada.
Casi sin querer...
Se me escapa, se me nubla, no se acaba
Casi sin querer...

No hay nada ya,
No hay nada ya
Tocarte por dentro, besar...
No hubo y no habra
No hay nada aqui ya
Volarme y al tiempo volar...

Choir
Aire soy y al aire
El viento no, el viento, el viento no
Que sin ti soy nadie...
Sin ti yo no, sin ti, sin ti yo no...

Una fuga.
Un SOS.
Una parada.
Casi sin querer...
Y la duda en sentimiento transformada
Casi sin querer...

No hay nada ya,
No hay nada ya.
Tan bello es caer a tus pies...
No hubo y no habra.
No hay nada aqui ya.
De quién este cielo es.
De quién?

Choir
Aire soy y al aire...
El viento no, el viento, el viento no...
Que sin ti soy nadie...
Sin ti yo no, sin ti, sin ti yo no...

No hay nada ya,
No hay nada ya.
Tan bello es caer a tus pies...
No hubo y no habra.
No hay nada aqui ya.
De quién este cielo es.
De quién?

Choir
Aire soy y al aire...
El viento no, el viento, el viento no...
Que sin ti soy nadie...
Sin ti yo no, sin ti, sin ti yo no...
