Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #66 Get Back


Em Get Back, no teto do prédio da Apple, em Londres, Paul na minha versão preferida: cabeludo e barbudo.

Get Back
Lennon/McCartney

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta
Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #65 Back in the USSR


Uma clássica dos Beatles para dar uma animadinha - Back in The USSR. Será que vai tocar essa aqui em SP?

Back In The U.S.S.R.
Lennon/McCartney

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm.
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #64 For No One


Gosto das músicas que são quase crônicas, contando histórias. For No One é uma delas. E esse vídeo é bem lega, por mostrar o Paul em estúdio, cantando só com o violão. Aliás, só nessas horas gosto do inglês - a língua fica tão melodiosa nas músicas dos Beatles...

For No One
Lennnon/McCartney

Your day breaks,
Your mind aches,
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up,
She makes up,
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years
You want her,
You need her,
And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
You think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home,
She goes out,
She says that long ago she knew someone, but no ne's gone
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks,
Your mind aches,
There will be times when all the things you said will fill your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #63 Ain't No Sunshine


Em Ain't No Sunshine, no especial Unplugged, o Paul não canta, só toca bateria. Mas o vídeo vale pela música, muito bacana (esteve recentemente na trilha do filme Notting Hill), e pela mostra do multitalento que ele tem.

Ain't No Sunshine
Bill Withers

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away

And I know, I know...

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #62 Here, There and Everywhere


Outro dia vi numa revista famosas respondendo à pergunta: "qual música você gostaria que tivesse sido escrita para você?" Eu gostaria que tivesse sido Here, There and Everywhere. Uma das mais lindas canções de amor dos Beatles.

Here, There And Everywhere
Lennon/McCartney

To lead a better life, I need a love to be
Here,
Making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere,
Knowing that love is to share,
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be here, there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #61 San Francisco Bay Blues


Para encerrar a semana, uma música que reúne três coisas que adoro: o Paul, a cidade de San Francisco e blues. E um adicional: composição do Eric Clapton. Excelente combinação para uma sexta.

San Francisco Bay Blues
Eric Clapton

I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad,
She was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.

I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

Sitting down looking from my back door,
Wondering which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.

Meanwhile, in another city,
Just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #60 All My Loving


All My Loving é uma das minhas favoritas. Por isso, tem dois vídeos: um atual e outro do tempo dos Beatles. Demais!

All My Loving
Lennon/McCartney

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

I'll pretend that I'm kissing
The lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving, all my loving ooh
All my loving I will send to you

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #59 Drive My Car


Drive my Car me faz lembrar o show do Paul aqui em São Paulo, no Pacaembu. Momento inesqquecível! O vídeo 1 está melhor, mas o 2 é da turnê que passou pelo Brasil em 1993.

Drive My Car
Lennon/McCartney

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, "Can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between"

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you

I told a girl that my prospects were good
And she said baby, "It's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you

I told that girl I can start right away
And she said, "Listen baby I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start"

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #58 Dear Boy


Dear Boy é uma música do período Wings, de 1971, do disco Ram. Bem a cara dessa época. Melodias e vocais muito legais.

Dear Boy
Paul McCartney

I guess you never knew,
Dear boy, what you had found,
I guess you never knew,
Dear boy, that she was just the cutest thing around.

I guess you never knew what you had found,
Dear boy.

I stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
got me up and about.

I guess you never saw,
Dear boy, that love was there,
And maybe when you look too hard,
Dear boy, you never do become aware.

I guess you never did become aware,
Dear Boy.
When I stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
got me up and about.

I hope you never know, dear boy,
how much you missed,
And even when you fall in love,
Dear boy, it won't be half as good as this
I hope you never know how much you missed, dear boy.

I stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
got me up and about.
Dear boy, how much you missed,
Dear boy.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #57 Penny Lane


Uma das minha favoritas dos Beatles. Tomara que o Paul toque essa no show de novembro. Nos vídeos, versão atual e original dos Beatles.

Penny Lane
Lennon/McCartney

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mack
In the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #56 I Saw Her Standing There


Para ir esquentando os motores e me preparando para o dia 21/11, I Saw Her Standing There. No vídeo, ao vivo. Master!

I Saw Her Standing There
Lennon/McCartney

Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
And I saw her standin' there.

Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...

Whoah, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #55 Off The Ground


Off The Ground, para a gente lembrar que é bom tirar os pés do chão de vez em quando e sair voando livre por aí.

Off The Ground
Paul McCartney

There must have been a lot of heartache
For you to sink so low.
You must have had a ton of pressure.
Only answer if the answer´s no.

I need loving, you need loving too.
Doesn´t take a lot to get off the ground.

There must have been a lot of magic
When the world was born.
Let me be the one you wish for,
One you call for, when you´re all alone.

I need loving, you need loving too.
Wouldn´t take a lot to get off the ground.

Off the ground, off the ground.
Fly around, fly around.
Hear the sound, hear the sound.
Off the ground, off the ground.

Though it takes a lot of power
To make a big tree grow.
It doesn´t need a pot of knowledge,
For a seed knows what a seed must know.

You need loving, I need loving too.
Doesn´t take a lot to get off the ground.

Off the ground, off the ground.
Fly around, fly around.
Hear the sound, hear the sound.
Off the ground, off the ground.

Hear the sound, hear the sound.
Off the ground, off the ground.
Yeah yeah, off the ground.

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #54 Eleanor Rigby


Clássica dos Beatles, preferida da minha amiga Marly, para ir aquecendo os motores para o show de novembro.

Eleanor Rigby
Paul McCartney

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding was been,
Lives in a dream.
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for ?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong ?
Father McKenzie, writing the words to a sermon that no one will near,
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care ?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong ?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in church and was buried along with her name;
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave;
No one was saved.
All the lonely people, where do they all come from ?
(ah, look at all the lonely people)
All the lonely people, where do they all belong ?
(ah, look at all the lonely people)

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #53 Don't Get Around Much Anymore


Don't Get Around Much Anymore é um clássico do jazz, do Duke Ellington e do Bob Russell. Mas entra aqui porque adorei a versão rocker com o Paul. Vale para fechar a semana e começar o feriadão animada, depois de uma semana puxada.

Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Duke Ellington / Bob Russell

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why bring my memo, why bring my memo,
Why bring my memories.

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Oh, darling I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why bring my memo, why bring my memo,
Why bring my memories.

Oooooh.

As we head across the sea,
And at last we will be free.

You’re a bluebird, you’re a bluebird,
You’re a bluebird, you’re a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’re a bluebird, you’re a bluebird
You’re a bluebird
Yeah, yeah ,yeah.

Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird.

All alone on a desert island
We’re living in the trees,
And we’re flying in the breeze.

We’re the bluebirds, we’re the bluebirds
We’re the bluebirds, we’re the bluebirds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We’re the bluebirds, we’re the bluebirds
We’re the bluebirds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird.

Uma música do Paul Mccartney por dia - #51 Yesterday


Hoje é uma clássica do Paul e dos Beatles, Yesterday, que dispensa comentários.

Yesterday
Lennon/Paul McCartney

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
