Here's a really interesting song, The Shadow of a Smile,
and here's a great young artist who I really admire named Juanes.
And I begged him to sing two lines in English.
He said, I don't really speak well.
I said, but in this case, it's OK, and we will understand.
The lyric is so ingrained in all of us.
Try it.
So he fell into the line, took him a couple of takes,
and then he sings beautifully in Spanish.
It's a very romantic song in English, but even more so in Spanish.
And at the end, Tony sings in Spanish.
[Em] We crossed a very interesting border.
[N]
[C#] [Am] [G#]
[C] This energy [F#] here in [F] this studio, man, is so [Em] magical.
And [D#] of course, [A] Tony and all these [C] brilliant musicians,
the guitar and then the piano [F] and then the drums and Tony and the bass,
and [E] everything was just like [C] perfect, man.
So it's like [Em] another way [Bm] to do music, and it's fantastic.
The [E] shadow of [A] your smile
When [Cm] you [G] are gone
[Em] [G]
Teardrop [Am] kissed your lips
And so [D] did [B] [F] I
[A#] [E]
Now when I [Am] remember spring
[Cm] Oh,
[F] the [Bm] joy that love [G] can bring
[D]
I will be [F#m] remembering
[F] [C] The [D#] shadow of your [G] smile
La la la la la
This [F#] man is a tremendous [C] singer.
He sings, he has beautiful ears, and he sings with a lot of feeling.
And to me, that's the only thing that we could put on a recording, is feeling.
[Fm] Without [B] feeling, you have plastic.
It's just a piece of metal.
So you have to put some soul in it, and he's got that.
It's very nice to sing with him.
La [Em] estrella que [A] nos [E] vio
[A] Ya [F#m] [G#m] [G#] se
[G] apagó
[C#] Tal vez porque [C] tu [F] [Am] adiós
[D] [B]
Me la asusté
I was [A#] telling Tony that I never felt so close to God, man, like today.
I was singing with Tony, and for me, this is like the most biggest experience in my career.
And I think never is going to happen something like this.
It's like, serious, man.
It's just amazing.
I loved it, you know, and I was a little uncomfortable singing phonetically, you know, with Spanish,
but I love the sound of it, you know, it's all the vowel sounds of A, E, R, O, you know, it's all warm and human.
So I always love the Latin music.
And for me, it's kind of the same, you know, I never sing in English.
I sing in English in my, taking a shower, but not for a record.
So this is the first time that I'm just like singing in English.
[E] Que te [Em]
hice [Am] da mi amor
[D#] [G] No te [Bm] supe [A] comprender
[D] [E] Solo

A sombra [Cm] de [B] tu amor
