영혼을 연주하는 기타리스트 카를로스 산타나가 직접 선택한 산타나 음악의 정수 두장의 CD에 빼곡이 담긴 산타나의 곡들은 30년이 넘는 밴드의 20년을 담고 있다. 시기에 따라 변모하는 산타나의 모습을 여실히 파악할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 밴드 최고의 히트곡을 고스란히 담고 있다는 점에서 `THE ESSENTIAL SANTANA`라는 앨범 타이틀은 조금도 과장되지 않았다. 그가 그래미상을 수상하면서 2천년대에도 여전히 라틴 리듬을 선사하고 있지만, 이 베스트 앨범에 수록된 곡들이 만들어 놓은 역사가 없었다면 결코 이루지 못할 사건이었다. [THE ESSENTIAL SANTANA]는 밴드의 핵심인 카를로스 산타나가 직접 선곡한 밴드 산타나와 카를로스 산타나의 솔로 시절 33곡을 연대기순으로 집약해 놓은 최고의 앨범이다. .... ....
You've got to change your evil ways... baby Before I stop loving you. You've go to change... baby And every word that I say, it's true. You've got me running and hiding All over town. You've got me sneaking and peeping And running you down This can't go on... Lord knows you got to change... baby.
When I come home... baby My house is dark and my pots are cold You're hanging round... baby With Jean and Joan and a who knows who I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown This can't go on... Lord knows you got to change
Samba Pa Ti is a song that I wrote when we came back from Europe the very first time. I was up in my room looking out my window because I heard this sound. This cat blew a couple of notes on the saxophone in the back of the alley.
And when I looked out, he was trying to stay up on his feet. It looked like the whole world was moving around him. And he was trying to decide between putting his saxophone in his mouth and putting the bottle of booze from his back pocket into his mouth.
And I thought "he is a prisoner." He didn't know what to put in his mouth next - the horn or the bottle of booze, you know. And it just hit me. It really broke me down because he looked like all of us at one time or another.
And for some reason, i just heard these lyrics, "through every step in life you find freedom from within." And then I heard the melody.
It was one of the first songs that I felt really free, free enough to forget about anything. You just let it flow through you. And even though it's very simple, there's still a lot of emotion in it.

I am just a mirage Oh - I am just a mirage when you look at me thru your crystal glass you will see that I am now your past but you give your love to me In your life I wasn?t meant to be. Oh I am just a mirage Oh I am just a mirage Just a mirage fading away like water

그리스 신화에선 제우스의 사랑을 받은 포니시아의 왕녀로 천문학적으로는 목성의 위성중 하나이며 유로파의 표면은 얼음이다. 목성의 4대 위성 가운데 이오 다음으로 목성에 가까우며 가장 작은 위성이다. 1610년 G.갈릴레이가 손수 만든 망원경을 사용해 발견했고 네덜란드 천문학자 마리우스에 의해 이름이 지어졌다. 에우로파라고도 하는데 이 이름은 그리스 신화에서 목성의 영어명인 주피터(제우스)와의 관계에서 유래되었다. 특히 " Europa " 는 기타의 명인 Carlos Santana와 그룹 Santana의 키보드 주자 Tom Coster가 함께 작곡한 곡으로 산타나의 곡중 가장 잘 알려진 곡이다.
You are the sunshine, baby, whenever you smile But I call you Stormy today All of a sudden that ol' rain is fallin' down And my world is cloudy and gray You've gone away
Old Stormy Stormy Old Stormy Stormy Old Stormy Stormy Old Stormy Stormy
Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze But like the weather you changed Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold And I stand alone in the rain Callin' out your name
Stormy Stormy Stormy Stormy Come back to me Stormy Stormy Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Well, all right so I'm being foolish Well, all right let people know About the dreams and wishes you wish In the night when the lights are low
Well, all right, well all right We'll live and love with all our might Well, all right, well all right Our lifetime love will be all right
Well, all right, so I'm going steady It's all right when people say That those foolish kids cant be ready For the love that comes their way
Well, all right, well all right We'll live and love with all our might Well, all right, well all right Our lifetime love will be all right Repeat last verse
You be you and let me be me No strings attached emotionally I wanna get a little crazy That's puttin' it plain You got the medicine And I got the pain
When you just wanna feel good Like the doctor said One good dose of loving It's gonna straighten out your head
(tag): You got an open invitation On that you can rely You got a prepaid reservation And that's the only way to fly
Let's make love, the feeling is right Just passing by like ships in the night Oughta get a little friendly There's no time like now You bring the attitude and I'll show you how
Anytime you're ready Anytime at all Just come on over Don't even have to call
Yesterday I was alone and Blue My heart was heavy and then came you Oh I can see that you were meant for me Now I have found you, I'll never let you go
You know that I love you I need you You know that I'm caring, sharing Everything I've got Don't you know that I want you I need you too And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
Many lovers they come and go But your sweet loving lingers on and on Oh I can feel, that this time it's for real So hold me closer, and never let me go
You know that I love you I need you You know that I'm caring, sharing Everything I've got Don't you know that I want you I need you too And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
Well your sweet love is all I need Without you I just can't go on

Well I told you 'bout your attitude And it didn't do me any good 'Cause you took your love away Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache.
There are places I remember Where the ladies still are tender Against you they can't compare Baby we've just got to get it back together.
All I ever wanted was to be with you All I ever wanted was to be with you.
I just got to get it through to you That my loving heart is ever true Please come back to where you belong Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong.

One day, I was on the ground; When I needed a hand and it couldn’t be found. I was so far down that I couldn’t get up. You know and one day I was one of Life’s losers - Even my friends were my accusers, And in my head, I’d lost before I began. I had a dream, but it turned to dust. What I thought was love; that must’ve been lust. I was living in style when the walls fell in. When I played my hand, it looked like a Joker, It turned around - Fate must’ve woke her, ‘Cause Lady Luck was waitin’ outside the door. I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning, and I don't intend On losin’ again! Too bad, it belonged to me. I picked the wrong time - it’s not meant to be. Took a long time, but I knew growing up, I could see the day that I’d be A boy lookin’ to be Yes, indeed, to play the game And to win again. I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning, and I don't intend On losin’ again!
I had a dream, but it turned to dust. What I thought was love; that must’ve been lust. I was living in style when the walls fell in. When I played my hand, it looked like a Joker, It turned around - Fate must’ve woke her, ‘Cause Lady Luck - she was waitin’ outside the door. I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning! I’m winning, and I don't intend On losin’ again!
Don't rush me just this once I want to make this moment last Slow down the pace, there's no hurry I can't let another pass by me again Let me be the one to say when I've had enough
Just let me close my eyes, memorize The way things are this minute So when you're gone I can go on If memory can hold within it what I'm feeling Should time try fading or stealing something away
CHORUS: Hold on, nothing's the same Tell me why I feel this way Life wouldn't be worth living without you All along I've been the pretender But now that's gone forever Nobody's ever loved me like you do Nobody's broken through
Got to concentrate, file away Every last detail Don't want to lost what's going down I want to remember everything I'm feeling Should time try fading or stealing something away
Night ain’t a friend It’s black and so still It waits like a cat Then moves in for the kill It casts its shadows high on the wall It’s givin’ me no peace at all
Now you’re gone The pain goes on You’re so deep into me Now I’m begging to you Set me free
I’ve got nowhere to run Nowhere to hide No way to stop This hurt deep inside That you gave to me Nowhere to run Nowhere to run Nowhere to run
The sound of your voice It comes in the night It stays with me there Until the light When you say the words That you said before
When you said you’d stay You walked out the door I can take the afternoon But then comes the night Instead I walk the floor Till the light
I’ve got nowhere to run Nowhere to hide No way to stop This hurt deep inside That you gave to me Nowhere to run Nowhere to run Nowhere to run
I’ve got nowhere to run Nowhere to hide No way to stop This hurt deep inside...
It gives me such a thrill When you tell me ‘bout the way You feel It really makes my day I just love to hear you say
Chorus: Say it again, say it high say it low Say it again, so the whole wide World will know Say it, that you’re still lovin’ me Still lovin’ me, still in love with me Say it again, tell me where, tell me when
Say it again, that our love will never end Say it, that you’re still lovin’ me Still lovin’ me, still in love with me
You know it sounds so sweet It just knocks me right up off of My feet To hear you talk that way I just love to hear you say
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: I hear the echoes in my mind They’re calling to me all the time I hear those voices start to sing Again and again
Come on, baby, don’t you wanna go Way down south, talkin’ ‘bout Mexico
Straight through the jungle, out to the sea We’ll have some fun if you fly away with me Like some old movie in black and white We’ll fall in love in the middle of the night
Chorus: Me and you, down in Veracruz Do what you wanna do, down in Veracruz
Come on, baby, don’t you wanna come In the town, people movin’ to the drums
Rosa’s Cantina, it never stops Drinkin’ cerveza, people party ‘til they drop Forget the laundry, forget the rain We’ll get to heaven on the seven-thirty plane
It's tough not to lose the heart You once believed in miracles Now it's a world apart When the world is crushing down And you're feeling down and out When you feel there's no hope Just follow me and you won't doubt Alone on the hill Lives the man they call healer You look in his eyes And you know that it's real And you feel that you're stronger You lose all your weakness You lose all your fear When you hear how he speaks As you walk to the hill To the man they call healer Step by step you grow And you will start to see That it's real what they say About him and his magic He is small but a giant You can see The whole world in his eyes He lives beyond the old oak In a cabin near the creek Some say he's a drop out Some say he's just a freak I can tell without a doubt That's not true at all Have you seen the old and sick Climb up to the hill Even if they crawl Alone on the hill Lives the man they call healer You look in his eyes And you know that it's real And you feel that you're stronger You lose all your weakness You lose all your fear When you hear how he speaks As you walk to the hill To the man they call healer Step by step you grow And you will start to see That it's real what they say About him and his magic He is small but a giant You can see The whole world in his eyes
