Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #12 Pipes of Peace

Essa música dá nome a um disco que também comprei assim que foi lançado. Gosto muito dela e também do vídeo. Um jeito bonitinho de mostrar como a guerra é estúpida, já que dos dois lados existem apenas seres humanos com os mesmos sonhos, as mesmas aspirações, as mesmas necessidades.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #11 Live and Let Die

Uma das melhores músicas de abertura dos filmes de 007. No show que ele fez aqui em São Paulo, no Pacaembu, eu estava tão perto do palco (claro!), que fui empurrada pelo deslocamento de ar das explosões nessa música. Inesquecível! Pena que esse show não está disponível no You Tube. Mas achei um daquela mesma turnê. Foi mais ou menos assim...

Live And Let Die
Paul McCartney

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)

What does it matter to you?
When you got a job to do
You got to do it well
You got to give the other fellow hell

You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever-changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
(Live and let die)
Live and let die
(Live and let die)

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #10 Blackbird

Duas versões para uma das músicas mais delicadas e lindas do Paul: Blackbird na época dos Beatles, em rara imagem de estúdio, e mais recentemente, em show acústico. Além de músico sensível, é inteligente e engraçado. Bom começo para meu dia.

Blackbird
Lennon/Mccartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #9 Got to Get Into My Life

Outra dos Beatles, outra de amor, mas com uma pegada mais animada, bem pop. Gosto do ritmo e da letra. Linda declaração de amor, como sempre.

Got To Get You Into My Life
Lennon/McCartney

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be,
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you...

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #8 Oh Darling

Uma balada dos Beatles, do disco Abbey Road - um dos meus favoritos. Dizem os biógrafos que o Paul ficou gritando por horas antes de gravar para ficar com a voz rouca, ideal para a pegada dessa música. Se é verdade ou não, não sei, mas ficou bárbara! Uma das minhas favoritas.

Oh! Darling
Lennon / McCartney

Oh, darling
Please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm

Oh, darling
If you leave me,
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you,
Don't ever leave me alone.

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Broke down and cried.
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Fell down and died.

Oh, darling.
If you leave me,
I'll never make it alone.
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

Believe me, darling.

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Broke down and cried.
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly
Fell down and died.

Oh, darling.
Please believe me.
I'll never let you down.

Oh, believe me, darling.

Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #7 My Love

Mais uma clássica de amor, e daquelas que só ele sabe fazer. Mas o vídeo é engraçado. O que é aquele casaco da Linda, meu Deus!

My Love
Paul McCartney

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
It's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
My love does it good

And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
My love does it good

Whoa-whoa, I love, oh-whoa, my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh-whoa, my love, oh-oh, my love
Only my love does it good to me

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why
I never say goodbye to my love
It's understood
It's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
My love does it good

Whoa-whoa, I love, oh-whoa, my love
Only my love does it good to me
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #6 C Moon

Baladinha despretensiosa, mas fofa. Só não gosto desse cabelo dele, mas é bem anos 70. Sim, a gente tinha essas modas esquisitas no passado...

C Moon
Paul McCartney

C Moon C Moon C Moon Is She.
C Moon C Moon C Moon To Me.

How Come No One Older Than Me
Ever Seems To Understand The Things I Wanna To Do?
It Will Be L7 And I'd Never Get To Heaven
If I Filled My Head With Glue
What's It All To You?

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Is She
C Moon, C Moon, C Moon To Me

Bobby Lived With Patty
But They Never Told Her Daddy
What Their Love Was All About
She Could Tell Her Lover That He Thought But
She Never Was The Type To Let It Out
What's It All About?

C Moon, C Moon, Oh C Moon Are We
C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Are We

How Come No One Older Than Me
Ever Seems To Understand The Things I Wanna To Do?
It Will Be L7 And I'd Never Get To Heaven
If I Filled My Head With Glue
What's It All To You?

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Is She
C Moon, C Moon, C Moon To Me

Bobby Lived With Patty
But They Never Told Her Daddy
What Their Love Was All About
She Could Tell Her Lover That He Thought But
She Never Wanted To Let It Out
What's It All About?

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Are We
C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Are We

Well What's It All About?

C Moon, C Moon, C Moon Are We
C Moon Are We

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #5 Mull of Kintyre

Uma música linda do Paul (adoro as gaitas de fole!), na fase Wings, depois de uma pausa para uma viagem rápida de férias. Afinal, como diz a letra, já viajei para longe e muita coisa já vi, mas nada é melhor do que voltar para o lugar ao qual a gente pertence.

Mull Of Kintyre
Paul McCartney

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre
Far have i traveled and much have i seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green.
Past painted deserts the sunset's on fire
As he carries me home to the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days i knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the time of the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine
And tears in the rain
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre
Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here
Oh mull of kintyre

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #4 Golden Slumbers

Uma música da época dos Beatles e da parceria com Lennon - se bem que a gente nunca sabe se eles escreveram juntos de fato todas as canções que assinavam em dupla. Como é ele quem cantava essa no grupo, consideramos dele. Melodia especial, interpretação idem.

Golden Slumbers
Lennon/McCartney

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #3 No More Lonely Nights

Quando o disco Give My Regards to Broad Street foi lançado, ainda não existia CD. Adolescente, lembro-me de ter saído correndo para comprar o LP. Gosto especialmente do clipe da música principal desse disco, No More Lonely Nights. Nem parece que já faz tanto tempo.,.

No More Lonely Nights
Paul McCartney

I can wait another day until I call you
You've only got my heart on a string and everything a'flutter
But another lonely night might take forever
We've only got each other to blame
It's all the same to me love
'Cause I know what I feel to be right

No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there

May I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be right

No more lonely nights (Never be another)
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away

Yes, I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights (Never be another)
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there

And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away

No more lonely nights, no, no...

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #2 Maybe I'm Amazed

Adoro a fase dos Wings, adoro o jeito como ele fala de amor e adoro como ele canta canções de amor. Que sorte a da Linda... A música de hoje é Maybe I'm Amazed, em duas versões de vídeo. Ah, também adoro o Paul de barba!

Maybe I'm Amazed
Paul McCartney


Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Baby I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me to understand

Baby I'm a man and maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me to understand

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia! #1 Let'em In

Esses dias comecei a me sentir meio esquisita. Acho que percebi que estava perdendo uma coisa que sempre tive: fé nas pessoas. Sempre fui muito aberta e receptiva, mas ultimamente tenho ficado muito desapontada com a indiferença e o descaso das pessoas. Mas não gosto da ideia de ficar amarga e só escrever coisas amargas. Não é meu gênero. Gosto demais de viver e de ser feliz.

Por isso, tomei uma decisão para lidar com esse momento de crise - que é tanto pessoal quanto profissional. Da mesma forma que Julie Powell fez com as receitas da Julia Child (história que virou o filme Julie & Julia) e Marisa Lynch no blog New Dress a Day, resolvi postar todo dia sobre uma coisa que me faz feliz: as canções do Paul McCartney. Desde que me apaixonei por ele aos 13 anos de idade, ouvir sua voz e ver sua imagem trazem emoção e beleza para minha vida.

Então, todos os dias, durante um ano, vou ouvir uma canção dele por dia e postar a letra e o vídeo aqui, quando existir. Acredito que compartilhar emoção e beleza vai ser uma boa forma de voltar a ter brilho nos olhos.

A música de hoje é Let 'em in. Nenhum motivo especial para essa escolha, apenas o acaso de ter topado com ela na minha pesquisa. Mas a letra até tem a ver com esse momento. Já fiquei muito bem depois de ouvir. Como o Paul diria, enjoy!

Let 'em In
Paul McCartney

Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favor,
Open the door and let 'em in
Sister Suzie, brother John,
Martin Luther, Phil And Don,
Brother Michael, Auntie Gin,
Open the door and let 'em in.
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Someone's knockin' at the door
Somebody's ringin' the bell
Do me a favor,
Open the door and let 'em in.
