Love, etc.
(You need more, you need more, you need more, you need more, you need more,
you need more, you need more, you need more, you need more)
Boy it's tough getting on in the world
when the sun doesn't shine and a boy needs a girl
it's about getting out of a rut, you need luck
and your stuck and don't know how (oh)
(don't have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(don't have to drive) A super car to get far
(don't have to live) A life of power and wealth
(don't have to be) Beautiful but it helps
(don't have to buy) A house in Beverly Hills
(don't have to have) Your daddy paying the bills
(don't have to live) A life of power and wealth
(don't have to be) Beautiful but it helps
You need more than a big blank check to be a lover,or
a gulfstream jet to fly you door to door
somewhere chic on another shore
you need more, you need more, you need more, you need more,
you need more, you need more, you need love, you need love, you need love
too much of anything is never enough
too much of everything is never enough
Boy it's tough getting on in the world
when the sun doesn't shine and a boy needs a girl
it's about getting out of a rut, you need luck
and your stuck and don't know how (oh)
(don't have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(don't have to drive) A super car to get far
(don't have to wear) A smile much colder than ice
(don't have to be) Beautiful but it's nice
You need more than Gerhard Richter hangin' on your wall
a chauffeur-driven limousine on call
to drive your wife and lover to a white tie ball
(you need more, you need more, you need more ,you need more,
you need more, you need more) you need love
I believe that we can achieve the love that we need
I believe, call me naive
love is for free
(don't have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(don't have to drive) A super car to get far
(don't have to live) A life of power and wealth
(don't have to be) Beautiful but it helps
Beautiful but it helps
* Qué razón tienen los Pet Shop Boys en su nuevo single. Y es que, all you need is love! Os recomiendo escucharla con el volumen bien alto, veréis como anima al más melancólico.

Saul Bass, el maestro
Os dejo con una de sus obras más famosas:
Y para los más frikis, un ejemplo de qué habría pasado si Saul Bass hubiese trabajado en "Star Wars":

El edificio Dakota
En él han vivido numerosas personalidades del mundo del espectáculo, como Lauren Bacall, Judy Garland, Rudolf Nureyev, Robert Ryan o Boris Karloff.
En 1968, Roman Polanski dirigió "La semilla del diablo", basada en una novela de Ira Levin, en la que la vivienda de la pareja protagonista propiciaba, por su singularidad, el clima angustioso de la historia. El diseñador de producción le dijo a Polanski: "Hay un edificio que debes ver, es el Dakota."
Tras visitarlo, el director se decidió inmediatamente. Sin embargo, los propietarios no dieron permiso para que filmara en su interior, por lo que sólo fue utilizado para las tomas exteriores (atención a la inquietante nana que adorna esas imágenes).
Doce años más tarde, John Lennon fue asesinado en la entrada de este edificio, donde residía junto a Yoko Ono. Ella todavía vive allí, quizás porque no cree en las casas encantadas.
