Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #49 Two of Us


Uma dos Beatles, para variar um pouco. Two of Us é de uma das fases de que mais gosto. Vídeo mais recente do Paul e o original dos Beatles.

Two of Us
Lennon/McCartney

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #48 So Bad


Mais do que da música So Bad, gosto do vídeo. É muito legal ver o Paul e o Ringo juntos, sempre. E um pouquinho dos bastidores, pra gente lembrar que eles são gente de verdade.

So Bad
Paul McCartney

There Is A Pain, Inside My Heart
You Mean So Much To Me
Girl, I Love You, Girl, I Love You So Bad

And If You Leave, My Pain Will Go
But That's No Good To Me
Girl, I Love You, Yes, I Love You So Bad

Well It Feels So Good, Sometimes It Feels So Bad
This Is Worse Than Anything I've Ever Had

There Was A Pain, But Now You're Here
And I Don't Fear A Thing
Girl, I Love You, Yes, I Love You So Bad
And She Said, Boy, I Love You
Boy, I Love You So Bad

Girl, I Love You
Girl, I Love You So Bad

Well It Feels So Good, Sometimes It Feels So Bad
This Is Worse Than Anything I've Ever Had

There Was A Pain, But Now You're Near
And I Don't Fear A Thing
Girl, I Love You
Girl, I Love You So Bad
And She Said
Boy, I Love You
Boy, I Love You So Bad
Girl, I Love You
Girl, I Love You

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #47 Only Love Remains



A letra de Only Love Remains é uma graça. De fato, quando tudo acaba, só o amor permanece. Perfeito, como sempre.

Only Love Remains
Paul McCartney

And If You Take Your Love Away From Me,
I'm Only Going To Want It Back.
I'll Probably Pretend I Didn't See,
But Knowing Me, I'll Want You Back Again, And Again,
'Til The Word Has Lost It's Meaning,
And Love Is All That Stays. Only Love Remains.
If You Should Ever Feel That Something's Wrong,
I'm Going To Want To Put It Right,
To Bring A Happy Ending To Our Song,
I'll Carry On Believing In A Love.
If Your Love Was To Trickle Through My Fingers,
What Would It Leave Me With?
Only Love Remains. Only Love...
Old Enough And Strong Enough To Stretcch Across The World.
Taking The Sand Inside An Oyster, Changing It Into A Pearl.
Making Another Magig Transformation,
Find The Right Boy For The Right Girl.
When All Our Friends Have Gone Away And We're Alone,
There's Nothing Left To Show About,
Together We'll Explore The Great Unknown.
I'd Say We Won't Be Going Out Tonight,
Let Tonight Be The One That We Remember,
Hen Love Is All That Stays,
Only Love Remains... Only Love Remains...

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #46 From a Lover to a Friend



Uma balada mais recente do Paul, de 2001. Delicada e bonita.

From a Lover to a Friend
Paul McCartney

And when the time comes around
We will be duty bound
To tell the through of what we've seen
And what we haven't found
Will not be going down
Despite too easy ride to see

From a lover to a friend
Take your own advice
Let me love again
Now that you turned out to be
Someone I can trust
Someone I believe

Ohh la la la
How can I walk when I can't find a way
I have a dilemma
All I want is to tell me
You're going to take it away

From a lover to a friend
Take your own advice
Let me love again
Now that you turned out to be
Someone I can trust
Someone I believe

And what we haven't found
Will not be going down
Despite too easy ride to see

From a lover to a friend
You turned out to be
Someone I believe

From a lover to a friend
Take your own advice
Let me love again

Ohh la la la
How can I walk when I can't find a way
I have a dilemma
All I want is to tell me
You're going to take it away

From a lover to a friend
From a lover to a friend
From a lover to a friend
Let me love again

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #45 Here Today


A homenagem do Paul ao John é linda. No vídeo, uma imagem especial: Paul cantando, emocionado, num show. Para matar as saudades, no segundo vídeo uma colagem de fotos dos dois nos tempos dos Beatles.

Here Today
Paul McCartney

And If I Say I Really Knew You Well
What Would Your Answer Be.
If You Were Here Today.

Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

Well Knowing You,
You'd Probably Laugh And Say That We Were Worlds Apart.
If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

But As For Me,
I Still Remember How It Was Before.
And I Am Holding Back The Tears No More.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- I Love You, Ooh-

What About The Time We Met,
Well I Suppose That You Could Say That We Were Playing Hard To Get.
Didn't Understand A Thing.
But We Could Always Sing.

What About The Night We Cried,
Because There Wasn't Any Reason Left To Keep It All Inside.
Never Understood A Word.
But You Were Always There With A Smile.

And If I Say I Really Loved You
And Was Glad You Came Along.

If You Were Here Today.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- For You Were In My Song.
Ooh- Ooh- Ooh- Here To - Day.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #44 A Day in the Life


Achei Neil Young e Paul cantando A Day in the Life. Um vídeo especial para minha queridíssima amiga Daniela Lazzari - tão fã do Neil Young quanto eu do Paul. Muito legal esse encontro, é muito bom ver dois grandes monstros do rock juntos, ainda firmes com essa idade.

A Day In The Life
Lennon/McCartney

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of
Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had a look
Having read the book, I'd love to turn you on...

Woke up, got out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I heard the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the
Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #43 Somebody Who Cares


Uma linda balada do álbum Tug of War. Uma das coisas que mais gosto do Paul é que ele sempre é otimista nas suas letras. Lembro que uma vez quebrei o pau com uma professora de inglês porque ela achava Let it Be uma música de gente conformista. Não entendeu nada, a coitada. Há uma distância grande entre ser conformista e ser otimista. Olhar para frente, apesar dos problemas, é que faz o mundo andar. Não há vídeo dessa música, só áudio com uma colagem de fotos do Paul.

Somebody Who Cares
Paul McCartney

When Your Body Is Coming Apart At The Seams
And The Whole Thing's Feeling Low You're Convincing Yourself
That There's Nobody There, I Know
I Know Now You Feel

Like Somebody Has Taken The Wheels Off Your Car
When You Had Somewhere To Go Well It's Annoying
Not Going To Get Very Far I Know
But Somebody Cares

There's Always Someone, Somewhere, You Should Know By Now
Always Somebody Who Cares It's Happening Day In, Day Out
Well You Know By Now Always Somebody Who Cares

If You Don't Know It How Will It Find You?
How Will We Know Your Whereabouts?
But I Know How You Feel

I Know How You Feel

Like Somebody Has Taken The Wheels Off Your Car
When You Had Somewhere To Go Well It's Frustrating
Not Going To Get Very Far I Know
But Somebody Cares

There's Always Someone, Somewhere, You Should Know By Now
Always Somebody Who Cares It's Happening Day In, Day Out
Well You Know By Now Always Somebody Who Cares

If You Don't Know It How Will It Find You?
How Will We Know Your Whereabouts?
But I Know How You Feel

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #42 The Long and Winding Road


Uma das mais lindas dos Beatles, na minha opinião. Sem mais palavras. O vídeo é o original.

The Long And Winding Road
Paul McCartney

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear.
I've seen that road before,
It always leads me here, lead me your door
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know the many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back to the long and winding road.
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here,
Lead me to your door
Don't keep me waiting here,
Lead me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Don't leave me waiting here (don't keep me waiting)
Let me know the way

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #41 Mother Nature's Son


Mais uma da coleção country do Paul - Mother's Nature Son. Até acordeon (um dos meus instrumentos favoritos) tem na música, no vídeo gravado no Texas - acho que não por acaso.

Mother Nature's son
Paul McCartney

Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone

Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo

Find me in my field of grass, Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Yeah yeah yeah

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm, ooh ooh ooh
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm, wah wah wah

Wah, Mother Nature's son

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #40 With a Little Luck


Uma balada linda do Paul, de 1978. A letra é muito fofa também: "Com um pouco de sorte, nós podemos fazer as coisas darem certo." E não é?

With a Little Luck
Paul McCartney

With a little luck, we can help it out.
We can make this whole damn thing work out.
With a little love, we can lay it down.
Can’t you feel the town exploding?
There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The wiliow turns his back on inclement weather;
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you,

And a little luck, we can clear it up.
We can bring it in for a landing,
With a little luck, we can turn it on.
There can be no misunderstanding.

There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather;
We can do it, just me and you.

With a little push, we could set it off.
We can send it rocketing skywards.
With a little love, we could shake it up.
Don’t you feel the comet exploding?

With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #39 Waterfalls


Música pós-wings, de 1980. O vídeo é bem 80´s, com o Paul com jeitão do tempo dos Beatles, apesar de estar perto dos 40.

Waterfalls
Paul McCartney

Don't Go Jumping Waterfalls
Please Keep To The Lake
People Who Jump Waterfalls
Sometimes Can Make Mistakes

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Second Needs An Hour
Like A Raindrop Needs A Shower
Yeah I Need Love Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Castle Needs A Tower
Like A Garden Needs A Flower
Yeah I Need Love Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

Don't Go Chasing Polar Bears
In The Great Unknown
Some Big Friendly Polar Bear
Might Want To Take You Home

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Second Needs An Hour
Like A Raindrop Needs A Shower
Yeah I Need Love Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

Don't Run After Motor Cars
Please Stay On The Side
Someone's Glossy Motor Car
Might Take You For A Ride

And I Need Love, Yeah I Need Love
Like A Castle Needs A Tower
Like A Garden Needs A Flower
Yeah I Need Love, Said I Need Love
Like A Raindrop Needs A Shower
Like A Second Needs An Hour
Every Minute Of The Day
And It Wouldn't Be The Same
If You Ever Should Decide To Go Away

Don't Go Jumping Waterfalls
Please Keep To The Lake

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #38 One More Kiss


Música do disco Red Rose Speedway, de 1973, com os Wings. Bonitinha, jeito country. Acho que em outra vida ele nasceu no interior dos EUA e era cowboy. Não tem vídeo, então vai só o aúdio com uma colagem de fotos do Paul.

One More Kiss
Paul McCartney

Only One More Kiss
I Didn't Mean To Hurt You Little Girl
Let's Make It One To Remember
Only One More Kiss

I Said A Foolish Thing Last Night
I Didn't Think You'd Take It Bad
But Now I'm On My Way Again And Just Before I Go

Only One More Kiss
I Never Mean To Hurt You Little Girl
Let's Make It One To Remember
Only One More Kiss

Solo

Only One More Kiss
I Didn't Mean To Hurt You Little Girl
Let's Make It One To Remember
Only One More Kiss

Somebody's Built A Home For Us
Someday We'll See It Standing There
But Like The Wind That Has To Blow
I Must Be On My Way

Only One More Kiss
I Never Mean To Hurt You Little Girl
Let's Make It One To Remember
Only One More Kiss
Well Only One More Kiss

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #37 This Never Happened Before


Da trilha do filme A Casa do Lago, This Never Happened Before é uma graça de música, que fala de amor, só para variar. Adoro esse filme, e a cena em que a Sandra Bullock e o Keanu Reeves dançam ao som dessa música é linda. Mais um ponto para o Paul!

This Never Happened Before
Paul McCartney

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before

Now I see, this is the way it's supposed to be
I met you and now I see
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when your on your own

So come to me, now we can be what we want to be
I love you and now I see
This is the way it should be
This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be, for lovers
They shouldn't go it alone
It's not so good when your on your own

I'm very sure, this never happened to me before
I met you and now I'm sure
This never happened before (This never happened before)
This never happened before (This never happened before)
This never happened before (This never happened before)
This never happened before

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #36 Coming Up


O vídeo dessa música é hilário. Como não dá para incorporar o vídeo aqui, coloquei uma versão mais atual, ao vivo nos EUA, na entrada do estúdio onde é gravado o programa do David Letterman. Boa também, mas vale a pena ver o original no You Tube, aqui.

Coming Up
Paul McCartney

You Want A Love To Last Forever
One That Will Never Fade Away
I Want To Help You With Your Problem
Stick Around, I Say

Coming Up, Coming Up, Yeah
Coming Up Like A Flower
Coming Up, I Say

You Want A Friend You- Can Rely On
One Who Will Never Fade Away
And If You're Searching For An Answer
Stick Around. I Say

It's Coming Up, It's Coming Up
It's Coming Up Like A Flower
It's Coming Up. Yeah

You Want Some Peace And Understanding
So Everybody Can Be Free
I Know That We Can Get Together
We Can Make It, Stick With Me

It's Coming Up, It's Coming Up
It's Coming Up Like A Flower
It's Coming Up For You And Me

Coming Up, Coming Up
It's Coming Up, It's Coming Up, I Say
It's Coming Up Like A Flower
It's Coming Up
I Feel It In My Bones

You Want A Better Kind Of Future
One That Everyone Can Share
You're Not Alone, We All Could Use It
Stick Around We're Nearly There

It's Coming Up, It's Coming Up Everywhere
It's Coming Up Like A Flower
It's Coming Up For All To Share
It's Coming Up, Yeah
It's Coming Up, Anyway
It's Coming Up Like A Flower
Coming Up

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #35 We Can Work It Out


Gosto muito de We Can Work It Out - letra e música. E do Paul tocando a versão acústica - com todo o charme que só ele tem. É mais uma daquelas com pegada country de que eu gosto. Depois de uma semana quase sem respirar, um momento de paz para ouvir a música e respirar.

We Can Work It Out
Lennon/McCartney

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #34 The Song We Were Singing


Hoje eu precisava de uma música delicada do Paul. Então, ouvi The Song We Were Singing. É do disco Flaming Pie, um dos meus favoritos. Apesar de não ser dos mais incensados, tem músicas lindas. Infelizmente não tem vídeo, só áudio.

The Song We Were Singing
Paul McCartney

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life
We could jaw through the night

Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
Caught up in a philosophical discussion

Oh yeah

But we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life
Yeah, we could jaw through the night

Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like
But we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time

Yeah, we always came back

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
Caught up in a philosophical discussion
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yes we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah

We always came back to the songs we were singing

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #33 Band on the Run


Band on the Run é um dos discos mais conhecidos do Paul e considerado um dos melhores. E a música tema combina com minha situação nos últimos dias, nas duas traduções possíveis - correndo feito louca e fugindo de chatices e de gente chata. O vídeo é de 1976, com os Wings.

Band On The Run
Paul McCartney

Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again
Like you, mama, you, mama, you

If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day if I ever get out of here
If we ever get out of here

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to be the second one there
I hope you’re having fun

Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbit on the run

Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run

Yeah the band on the run, the band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run

Well, the night was falling as a desert world
Began the settle down
In the town they’re searching for us everywhere
But we never will be fund

Band on the run, band on the run
And the county judge who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, the band on the run
Band on the run, band on the run
