Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #143 She's Leaving Home



Uma das músicas mais legais dos Beatles: She's leaving home. Poucas vezes tocada em shows pelo Paul, uma pena. Aqui, vídeo gravado na Praça Vermelha, em Moscou.

She's Leaving Home
Lennon/McCartney

Wednesday morning at five o´clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free

She
We gave her most of our lives
Is leaving
Sacrified most of our lives
Home
We gave her everything money could buy
She´s leaving home after living alone
For so many years

Father snores as his wife gets into
Her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that´s lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
"daddy, our baby is gone"
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?

She
We never thought of ourselves
Is leaving
Never a thought of ourselves
Home
We struggled hard all our lives to get by
She´s leaving home after living alone
For so many years

Friday morning at nine o´clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

She
What did we do that was wrong?
Is having
We didn´t know it was wrong
Fun
Fun is the one thing that money can´t buy
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years

She´s leaving home, bye, bye

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #142 Please Please Me



Uma do começo dos Beatles, para embalar o feriado: Please Please Me, versão anos 2010. Muito boa!

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl

Why do I always gave to sat, love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, wo yeah, like I please you

I do all the pleasing with you,

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #141 Your Mother Should Know



Esta música é do álbum Magical Mistery Tour, dos Beatles. O filme é muito louco, mas o trechinho em que aparece a música nem tanto. Gosto bastante.

Your Mother Should Know
Lennon/McCartney

Ooh..
Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born.
Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know. (Your mother should..)
Your mother should know. (Know..)
Sing it again.

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born.
Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know. (Your mother should..)
Your mother should know. (Know..)

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born.
Though she was born a long, long time ago,
Your mother should know. (Your mother should..)
Your mother should know. (Know..)
Your mother should know. (Your mother should..)
Your mother should know. (Know..)
Sing it again.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #140 Good Day Sunshine



Mais uma dos Beatles, para fechar a semana com alto astral: Good Day Sunshine.

Good Day Sunshine
Lennon/McCartney

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as I touch the ground
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #139 Ain't She Sweet



Uma das primeiras músicas gravadas pelos Beatles, aqui num vídeo recente, com o Paul, o Ringo e o George, pouco antes de ele morrer. Muito comovente

Ain't She Sweet?
Jack Yellen/Milton Ager

Oh ain't she sweet,
Well see her walking down that street.
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?
Oh ain't she nice,
Well look her over once or twice.
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye
In her direction.
Oh me oh my,
Ain't that perfection?
Oh I repeat
Well don't you think that's kind of neat?
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?
Oh ain't she sweet,
Well see her walking down that street.
Well I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?
Oh ain't that nice,
Well look it over once or twice.
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye
In her direction.
Oh me oh my,
Ain't that perfection?
Oh I repeat
Well don't you think that's kind of neat?
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?
Oh ain't she sweet,
Well see her walking down that street.
Well I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?
Well I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #138 Yesterday, Here There and Everywhere e Wanderlust



A única inédita deste medley é Here, There and Everywhere, mas gosto demais desse trechinho do filme Give My Regards to Broad Street.

Here, There And Everywhere
Lennon/McCartney

To lead a better life, I need a love of my own
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 - #137 No Values



Do disco e do filme Give My Regards to Broad Street, um rock legal, com a participação especial do Ringo Starr. Muito bom.

No Values
Paul McCartney

I hear them telling me that you're selling off the furniture
And even keep my personalized autographs
You might as well go all the way and sell your granny to the zoo
And while you're at it, may I go to my psychiatrist ?
He's making money out of making me laugh
But I don't mind , I wish that I could say the same about you
It seems to me that you've still got no values
Oh you know you're not so hot, no values
And I'll be glad if you went away again
No values . . . no values . . . no values at all
The city shark is at the dark and of the alleyway
You pays your money and you takes your choice
The artful dodger says he wants to pick a pocket or two
But you, you've taken up a place in high society
A personal friend of messrs rolls and royce
Got them all convinced that everything you say to them is true
It seems to me that you've still got no values
Oh you know you're not so hot, no values
You know you've got a lot, but no values
And I'd be glad if you went away again
No values . . . no values . . . no values at all
I like your wife's smile, I like her car
If I had your lifestyle, I wouldn't go far wrong
On the waters of life you row your boat
Into the strongest tide that you can find
On the darkest of nights we were two of a kind
We went through it all before the tide went out
And left us stranded on the shore
How was I to know
How was I to know
Well you ain't got no values
You know you think you're hot, no values
You know you've got a lot, but no values
And I'd be glad if you went away again
No values . . . no values . . . no values at all

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #136 All You Need Is Love



Para começar a semana, uma das minhas preferidas dos Beatles, que fala de algo que vale a pena sempre lembrar: All You Need Is Love. É o amor que de fato move o mundo, é a falta dele que causa todos os nossos problemas. O vídeo de cima é o original dos Beatles e o de baixo, um mais atual, com participações especiais do Rod Stewart e do Joe Cocker.

All You Need is Love
Lennon/McCartney

Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love (Paul: All together, now!)
All you need is love. (Everybody!)
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need (love is all you need).

Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.

Sun Is Shining
Paul McCartney

Every morning
I get up
Look out the window

See the sunshine
Breathing down
Every morning comes around

Every morning

Look out the window

See the sunshine
Beating down
Every morning comes around

Waves are breaking
I'm in the water

The sun is shining down
The air is buzzing

Through the curtains
I look out
And the sun is melting the ground
When I'm walking through the town
Oh every morning, every morning
Through the curtains I look out
And the sun is melting the ground

Waves are breaking
I'm in the water

The sun is shining down
The air is buzzing
The sun is shining down
Mother nature's (the air is) buzzing

In the city
For the people
See the buildings
Crowd together

The sun is shining down
The air is shinning
Come on now
Let me know now
Tell me, tell me, tell me now

Listen to me
Can you hear me?
Ooo Hear me
Every morning
I get up
Look out the window
I get up
See the sunshine
Breathing down
Every morning comes around

Every morning
I get up
Look out the window
I get up
See the sunshine
Beating down
Every morning comes around

Waves are breaking
I'm in the water

The sun is shining down
The air is buzzing

Through the curtains
I look out
And the sun is melting the ground
When I'm walking through the town
Oh every morning, every morning
Through the curtains I look out
And the sun is melting the ground

Waves are breaking
I'm in the water

The sun is shining down
The air is buzzing
The sun is shining down
Mother nature's (the air is) buzzing

In the city
For the people
See the buildings
Crowd together

The sun is shining down
The air is shinning
Come on now
Let me know now
Tell me, tell me, tell me now

Listen to me
Can you hear me?
Ooo Hear me

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #134 No Other Baby



Muito boa a regravação de No Other Baby pelo Paul. O vídeo é bem bacana.

No Other Baby
Bishop/Watson

But I don't want no other baby but you, I don't want no other baby but you,
cause no other baby can thrill me like you do.

Got a little woman, lives across the hall, I got a little woman, she lives across the hall
and most every evening she's asking me to call.
But I don't want no other baby but you, I don't want no other baby but you,
cause no other baby can thrill me like you do.

But lots of other women say be my daddy do, yeah, lots of other women say be my daddy do,
but I tell them I don't want no other baby like you.
I said, I don't want no other baby but you, I don't want no other baby but you,
cause no other baby can thrill me like you do.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #132 Lonesome Town



Um blues dos bons, uma interpretação maravilhosa e um vídeo nota 10: Lonesome Town.

Lonesome Town
Knight

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And we call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears

Going down to Lonesome Town,
Where the broken hearts stay
I'm going down to Lonesome Town,
To cry my troubles away

And in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
Well I can learn to forget

Lead solo

Going down to Lonesome Town,
Where the lonely hearts stay
I'm going down to Lonesome Town,
To cry, to cry my troubles away

And in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #131 I Owe It All To You



Uma balada para começar a semana: I Owe it All to You.

I Owe It All To You
Paul McCartney

Last Night You Helped Me Through,
Took Me To The Lovers Zone
I Saw There, Images
Projected On A Wall Of Stone
I Stood Inside Egyptian Temples,
I Looked Into Eternal Gardens,
Lay On The Shores Of Distant Islands,
Listening To The Sea Birds Song Of Joy.

Oh, I Owe It All To You,
You Make Me Happy,
Oh, I Owe It All To You.

Late Last Night, We Were Right
Into Some Exotic Scene.
Everywhere, Images
Appearing On A Giant Screen.
I Stood Inside A Glass Cathedral,
I Looked Into The Golden Canyon,
Lay By The Lakes Of Holy Water
Glistening Like A Diamond In The Light.

Oh, I Owe It All To You,
You Make Me Happy,
Oh, I Owe It All To You.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #130 Baby's Request



Baby's Request tem o estilo dos standards americanos, apesar de ser com os Wings. O vídeo é muito legal, parece saído dos anos 50, época das big bands.

Baby's Request
Paul McCartney

When the moon lays his head on a pillow
And the stars settle down for a rest,
Just do me one small favor, I beg you,
Please play me my baby's request.

It's the song that we heard when we started.
Now the birds have all flown from our nest,
But you could bring back mem'ries departed
By playing my baby's request.

My baby said
That she knows how it goes
But you're the one who really knows,
So go ahead

Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.

But you could bring back mem'ries departed
By playing my baby's request.

My baby says
That she knows how it goes but you're the one that really knows.
So go ahead
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.

When the moon lays his head on a pillow
And the star settles down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please play me baby's request.
Mh-hm, play me baby's request.
Please! Play me my baby's request -- one more time.
