Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #119 Singing the Blues



Mais uma música do Unplugged, um blues maravilhoso: Singing the Blues.

Singing The Blues
Paul McCartney

Well, I never felt more like singing the blues
And I never thought
that I'd ever lose your love
Why did you do me this way?
Well, I never felt more like crying all night
Everything's wrong
But nothing is right without you
You've got me singing the blues
Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-i-i-i over you
Cry over you
Well, I never felt more like running away
And why shouldn't I go
'Cause I couldn't stay without you
You've got me singing the blues.
Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-i-i-i over you
Cry over you
Well, I never felt more like running away
And why shouldn't I go
'Cause I couldn't stay without you
You've got me singing the blues
(Mr. Paul Wiggins, Come on Paul)
Well, the moon and the stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry-i-i-i over you
Cry over you
Well, I never felt more like running away
And why shouldn't I go
'Cause I couldn't stay without you
You've got me singing the blues
You've got me singing the blues
You've got me singing the blues, ooh

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #118 House of Wax



Música de 2007, do disco Memory Almost Full. Gosto muito do piano e da melodia.

House of Wax
Paul McCartney

Lightning hits the house of wax
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future

Hidden in the yard. Hidden in the yard.

Thunder drowns the trumpets blast
Poets scatter through the night
But they can only dream of flight
Away from their confusion

Hidden in the yard. Undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
The answer to it all

Lightning hits the house of wax
Woman scream and run around
To dance upon the battleground
Like wild demented horses

Hidden in the yard. Undemeath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay
The answer to it all

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #117 Ever Present Past



Este vídeo é engraçado, com uma coreografia meio desengonçada do Paul.

Ever Present Past
Paul McCartney

I've got too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it isn' too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

I've got too much on my mind
I think of every thing to be discovered
I hope there's something to find
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

But things I think I did
I do, I think I did
But the things I think I did
When I was a kid

I couldn't understand a word that they were saying
But still I hung around and took it all in
I wouldn't join them in the games that they were playing
It went by, it went by
in a flash
It flew by, it flew by
in a flash

Ther's far too much on my plate
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
I hope it's never too late
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
The time that I thought would last
My ever present past

For things I think I did
I do, I think I did
The things I think I did when I was a kid

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #116 Too Much Rain



Mais uma do Chaos and Creation, realmente um disco especial: Too Much Rain.

Too Much Rain
Paul McCartney

Laugh, when your eyes are burning
Smile, when your heart is filled with pain

Sigh, as you brush away your sorrow
Make a vow, that's it's not going to happen again

It's not right, in one life
Too much rain

You, know the wheels keep turning
Why, do the tears run down your face

We, use to hide away our feelings
But for now, tell yourself it won't happen again

It's not right, in one life
Too much rain

It's too much for anyone, Too hard for anyone
Who wants a happy and peaceful life
You've gotta learn to laugh

(guitar solo)
Smile, when your spinning round and round
Sigh, as you think about tomorrow
Make a vow, that your gonna be happy again

It's all right, in your life
No more rain

It's too much for anyone, Too hard for anyone
Who wants a happy and peaceful life
You've gotta learn to laugh

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #115 English Tea



Uma das músicas do mais perfeito estilo Paul: English Tea. Do disco Chaos and Creation, também um dos seus melhores. Linda letra, linda melodia.

English Tea
Paul McCartney
Composição: Paul McCartney
Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea
Very twee, very me
Any sunny morning

What a pleasure it would be
Chatting so delightfully
Nanny bakes, fairy cakes
Every Sunday morning

Miles of miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree
Lines of holly, hocks and roses, listen most attentively

Do you know the game crochet
Peradventure we might play
Very gay, hip hooray
Any sunny morning

(solo)

Miles of miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree
Lines of holly, hocks and roses, listen most attentively

As a rule the church bells chime
When it's almost supper time
Nanny bakes, fairy cakes
On a Sunday morning

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #114 Jenny Wren



Uma música delicada, do disco Chaos and Creation, de 2005: Jenny Wren. O vídeo é lindo, só voz e violão.

Jenny Wren
Paul McCartney

Like so many girls,
Jenny Wren could sing.
But a broken heart took her song away.

Like the other girls,
Jenny Wren took wing.
She could see the world,
And its foolish ways.

How we spend our days,
casting love aside
losing sight of life, day by day.

She saw poverty,
breaking all her home.
Wounded warriors took her song away.

But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing.
When this broken world mends its foolish ways

Then we spend our days catching up our life,
All because of you, Jenny Wren.
You saw who we are, Jenny Wren.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #113 Fine Line



Gosto do vídeo desta música porque mostra o Paul como ele é: multitalentoso. Um bom som para a sexta.

Fine Line
Paul McCartney

There is a fine line between recklessness and courage
It's about time, you understood which road to take
It's a fine line, your decision makes a difference
Get it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake

Come on brother, all is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come on brother, everything is better
Everything is better when you come home and stay

Whatever's more important to you
You've got to change what you wanna do
Whatever's more important to be
That's the view that you've gotta see

There is a long way, between chaos and creation
If you don't say, which one of these your gonna choose
It's a long way, and in every contradiction
Seems to say it's a game that your bound to loose

Come on brother, all is forgiven
We all cried when you were driven away
Come on brother, everything is better
Everything is better when you come home and stay

Come on back
Come on back
Come on back to me

It's a fine line
It's a fine line

Whatever's more important to you
You've got to choose what you wanna do
Whatever's more important to be
Well that's the view that you've gotta see

It's a fine line
It's a fine line
Whatever's more important to you (It's a fine line)
You got to choose what you want to do
Whatever's more important to be (It's a fine line)
That's the thing that you gotta see
It's a fine line

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #111 Getting Closer



Sessão nostalgia, com uma música dos Wings: Getting Closer. Vídeo original.

Getting Closer
Paul McCartney

Say You Don't Love Him, My Salamander.
Why Do You Need Him?
Oh No, Don't Answer, Oh No.
I'm Getting Closer,
I'm Getting Closer To Your Heart.

Keeping Ahead Of The Rain On The Road,
Watching My Windscreen Wipers.
Radio Play Me A Danceable Ode,
Cattle Beware Of Snipers.

When Will You See Me, My Salamander?
Now Don't Try To Tell Me
Oh No, Don't Answer, Oh No.

L'm Getting Closer,
I'm Getting Closer To Your Heart.

Hitting The Chisel And Making A Joint,
Glueing My Fingers Together.
Radio Play Me A Song With A Point,
Sailor Beware Of Weather.

L'm Getting Closer, My Salamander.
Well When Will We Be There?
Ah No, Don't Answer, Oh No.

L'm Getting Closer,
I'm Getting Closer To Your Heart.
I'm Getting Closer To Your Heart.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #110 The World Tonight



Outra música do Flaming Pie. Não está entre as minhas favoritas, mas o vídeo é muito engraçado. As roupas, a dancinha, o rádio no ombro - hilários.

The World Tonight
Paul McCartney

I saw you sitting at the centre of the circle
Everybody, everybody wanted something from you
I saw you sitting there

I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music
Caught you playing, caught you praying to the voice inside you
I saw you swaying there

I don't care what you want to be
I go back so far I'm in front of me!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

I heard you listening to a secret conversation
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you
I heard you listening in

Never mind what they want to do
You've got a right to your point of view!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

I can see the world tonight

I saw you hiding from a flok of paparazzi
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallowyou
I saw you hiding there

I don't care what you want to be
I go back so far I'm in front of me!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away

I can see the world tonight
Look into the future
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight

Look into the future
I can see the world tonight
See it in a different light
I can see the world tonight
I can see the world tonight

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #109 Hope of Deliverance



Gosto dessa música e desse vídeo do Paul, de uma fase bacana dele - e minha. Boas lembranças, e ainda mais do show que ele fez por aqui em 1994.

Hope Of Deliverance
Paul McCartney

I will always be hoping, hoping.
You will always be holding, holding
My heart in your hand.
I will understand

I will understand someday, one day.
You will understand always, always
From now until then.

When it will be right, I don´t know.
What it will be like, I don´t know.
We live in hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us.

Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness
That surrounds us.

And I wouldn´t mind knowing, knowing
That you wouldn´t mind going,
Going along with my plan.

When it will be right, I don´t know.
What it will be like, I don´t know.
We live in hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us.

Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness
That surrounds us.

Hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance.
I will understand

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #108 Sing the Changes



Uma música do The Fireman, projeto de música eletrônica do Paul: Sing The Changes. Gosto da inquietude e da flexibilidade dele, sempre experimentando coisas novas. O vídeo é bem bacana, a música também. Ele tem realmente "a sense of childlike wonder".

Sing The Changes
The Fireman

Like the sun playing
In the morning
Feel the quiet
Feel the thunder
Oh every ladder
Leads to heaven
Call it ransom
Draw the picture

Sing the changes
Oh as you're sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Sing the changes
Calling over
Feel the quiet
In the thunder

Like the sun playing
In the morning
Feel the quiet
Feel the thunder
Oh every ladder
Leads to heaven
Colored pencils
Draw the picture

Sing your praises
As you're sleeping
Sing the changes
Any wonder
Feel the sense of
Childlike wonder
Sing your praises
As you're sleeping
Sing the changes
Oh as you're sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Sing the changes
Calling over
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Sing your praises
As you're sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Sing the changes
Calling over
Everybody has a sense of
Childlike wonder

Sense of wonder
Sing your praises
As you're sleeping
Feel the quiet
In the thunder
Sing the changes
Calling over
Everybody has a sense of childlike wonder

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #107 Young Boy



Uma das músicas do disco Flaming Pie, um dos meus favoritos do Paul. Não é uma balada, mas também fala de amor. Que, com certeza, ele tem muito para dar.

Young Boy
Paul McCartney

He's just a young boy Looking for a way to find love
It isn't easy, nothing you can say will help him, Find love
He's got to do it for himself and it can take so long
He just a young boy Looking for a way to find love

He doesn't need another helping hand from someone
But don't you think he doesn't understand what he wants, Someone
Though independence means a lot he got to still be strong
He just a young boy Looking for a way to find love

Find Love, a perfect combination
Find Love, whatever you do
Find Love, a cause for celebration
Then it might come looking, come looking for you

Find love in any situation
Find Love, whatever you do
Find Love, a cause for celebration
And it might come looking, come looking for you

He's just a young boy Looking for a way to find love
It isn't easy nothing you can say will help him, Find love
He's got to do it for himself and it can take so long
He's just a young boy Looking for a way to find love

Find love, a time for meditation
Find love, a source for inspiration
Find love, instead of confrontation
And love will come looking for you

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #106 Honey Hush



Um R&B animado, de um show de 1999, com o Paul e o Dave Gilmour, do Pink Floyd. Muito bom.

Honey Hush
Big Joe Turner

Well, come into this house, stop all that yakety yak,
I said, come into this house, stop all that yakety yak,
cause your sugar daddy don't want no talking back.

Well, you keep on talking, talking about this and that,
yeah, you keep on talking, talking about this and that,
I got news for you, baby, you're nothing but an alley cat.

Well, it's a hi ho, hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver,
hi ho, hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver away-hey.

Turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more,
turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more,
well, believe me, baby, I ain't coming back no more.

I said, come into this house, stop all that yakety yak,
yeah, come into this house, woman, stop all that yakety yak,
oh, don't make me nervous, I'm holding a baseball bat.
Well, it's a hi ho, hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver,
hi ho, hi ho silver, hi ho, hi ho silver away-hey

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #105 My Soul



Paul escreveu My Soul quando acabou o seu casamento com a Heather Mills. Apesar de tudo, delicado até o fim. A música foi gravada com a cantora Nitin Sawhney.

My Soul
Paul McCartney

I long to know
All your secrets
I want to walk
Through your fire
Light up my eyes
With your smile
I was awakened
By magic

I was alone
In this world
Take me away from here
Life spinning round
At a blistering pace
I've been shot
From a gun
To your final embrace
My soul, your heart
Two worlds
Apart

This life
Is all we have
How could this steal
All these feelings
How could they lie
To this world
A picture away
From your smile

Life spinning round
At a blistering pace
I've been shot
From a gun
To your final embrace
My soul, your heart
Two worlds
Apart

This life
Is all we have
One soul displaced
One heart replaced
Feelings defaced
Invade our space
No one left
To give us
Back our time

We could climb
Every mountain
Swim to every sea
When the all world
Is asleep
We can set
Ourselves free
My soul, your heart
Two worlds
Apart

This life
Is all we have
Mmm
Yeah, yeah
We could climb
Every mountain
Swim to every sea

When all the world
Is asleep
We can set
Ourselves free
We could climb
Every mountain
Swim to every sea

When all the world
Is asleep
We can set
Ourselves free
My soul, your heart
Two worlds
Apart this life
Ooooh

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #104 Somedays



Uma balada do disco Flaming Pie, para encerrar a semana.

Somedays
Paul McCartney

Somedays I look,
I look at you with eyes that shine.
Somedays I don't,
I don't believe that you are mine.

It's no good asking me what time of day it is,
Who won the match or scored the goal.
Somedays I look,
Somedays I look into your soul.

Sometimes I laugh,
I laugh to think how young we were.
Sometimes it's hard,
It's hard to know which way to turn.

Don't ask me where I found that picture on the wall,
How much it cost or what it's worth.
Sometimes I laugh,
I laugh to think how young we were.

We don't need anybody else
To tell us what is real.
Inside each one of us is love,
And we know how it feels.

Somedays I cry,
I cry for those who live in fear.
Somedays I don't,
I don't remember why I'm here.

No use reminding me, it's just the way it is,
Who ran the race and came in first.
Somedays I cry,
I cry for those who fear the worst.

We don't need anybody else
To tell us what is real.
Inside each one of us is love,
And we know how it feels.

Somedays I look,
I look at you with eyes that shine.
Somedays I don't,
I don't believe that you are mine.

It's no good asking me what time of day it is,
Who won the match or scored the goal.
Somedays I look,
Somedays I look into your soul.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #103 Words of Love



Words of Love é uma música do Buddy Holly gravada pelos Beatles em 1964, no disco Beatles For Sale - de que gosto muito. A versão acústica da música, neste vídeo, ficou delicada, como a letra.

Words Of Love
Buddy Holly

Hold me close and tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you
Let me hear you say
the words I long to hear
Darling when you're near
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #102 We Got Married



Ontem, mostrei a agenda que escrevi aos 15 anos de idade para minha filha. Foi engraçado ver as coisas que eu fazia e pensava em meados dos anos 80. E no dia 13 de março, estava anotado que era o dia do casamento do Paul e da Linda. Duas coincidências: uma, esse é o dia do aniversário do meu marido, Alexandre; a outra foi que hoje, ao pesquisar os vídeos do Paul, dei de cara com o da música We Got Married, que tem uma letra muito legal. E que, por sinal, mostra as fãs de um show dos anos 80. Revival completo!

We Got Married
Paul McCartney

Going Fast, Coming Soon
We Made Love In The Afternoon.
Found A Flat, After That
We Got Married.
Working Hard For The Dream,
Scoring Goals For The Other Team,
Times Were Bad, We Were Glad
We Got Married.
Like The Way You Open Up Your Hearts To Each Other,
When You Find A Meeting Of The Minds.
Just As Well Love Was All We Ever Wanted,
It Was All We Ever Had.
Further On In The Game,
Waiting Up Till The Children Came.
Place Your Bets, No Regrets,
We Got Married.
We Got Married.
We Got Married.
Nowadays Every Night Flashes By
At The Speed Of Light,
Living Life, Loving Wife,
We Got Married.
I Love The Things That Happen
When We Start To Discover
Who We Are
And What We're Living For,
Just Because Love Was
All We Ever Wanted
It Was All We Ever Had.
It's Not Just A Loving Machine,
It Doesn't Work Out
If You Don't Work At It.
