Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #165 While My Guitar Gently Weeps

A música é dos Beatles, escrita pelo George Harrison, mas vale pela presença no Paul e do Ringo na apresentação. Uma das mais lindas músicas do rock, na minha opinião, e um solo de guitarra sublime, do mago Clapton, nesta e no original.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
George Harrison

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

(I look from the wings at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
As I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps)

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #164 The Night Before

The Night Before é uma música de Help, o primeiro disco dos Beatles que eu tive, presente de um amigo, Fabião. Talvez por isso seja um dos meus preferidos - foi paixão instantânea! As duas versões do vídeo (com Beatles e só Paul) são demais.

The Night Before
Lennon/McCartney

We said our goodbyes.
(Ah.. the night before.)
Love was in your eyes.
(Ah.. the night before.)
Now, today I find
You have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before.
Were you tellin' lies?
(Ah.. the night before.)
Was I so unwise?
(Ah.. the night before.)
When I held you near,
You were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.
Last night is a night
I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did,
It makes me want to cry.
We said our goodbyes.
(Ah.. the night before.)
Love was in your eyes.
(Ah.. the night before.)
Now, today I find
You have changed your mind.
Treat me like you did the night before. Yes.
When I held you near,
You were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.
Last night is a night
I will remember you by.
When I think of things we did,
It makes me want to cry.
Were you tellin' lies?
(Ah.. the night before.)
Was I so unwise?
(Ah.. the night before.)
When I held you near,
You were so sincere.
Treat me like you did the night before.
Like the night before.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #163 I Will

Uma balada linda do Álbum Branco, feita pelo Paul, embora assinada pela dupla: I Will.

I Will
Lennon/McCartney

Who knows how long I've loved you,
You know I love you still,
Will I wait a lonely lifetime,
If you want me to I will.

For if I ever saw you,
I didn't catch your name,
But it never really mattered,
I will always feel the same.

Love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my heart;
Love you whenever we're together,
Love you when we're apart.

And when at last I find you,
Your song will fill the air,
Sing it loud so I can hear you,
Make it easy to be near you,
For the things you do endear you to me,
you know I will.
I will.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #162 Friends To Go

Uma música do disco Chaos and Creation in the Backyard: Friends to Go. Segundo o Paul, inspirada pelo George Harrison. O vídeo é bem bacana.

Friends To Go
Paul McCartney

I've been waitin on the other side, for your friends to leave
So I don't have to hide, I prefer they didnt know
So I've been waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

I've been sliding down a slippery slope, I've been climbing
Up a slowly burning rope, but the flame is getting low
I've been waitin' on the other side, for your friends to go

You never need to worry about me, I'll be fine on my own
Someone else can worry about me
I've spent a lot of time on my own
I've spent a lot of time on my own

I've been waitin till the danger past, I don't know
How long the storm is gonna to last, if we're gonna carry on
I'll been waiting on the other side, till your friends are gone

So tell me what I wanna know
I'll be waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

(solo)

Someone else can worry about me
I've spent a lot of time on my own
I've spent a lot of time on my own

I've been waiting on the other side
For your friends to leave so I don't have to hide
I prefer they didnt know
So I've been waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

I've been waiting on the other side
I've been waiting on the other side, for your friends to go

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #161 Too Many People

Música bacana do disco Ram. Animada para começar o fim de semana bem.

Too Many People
Paul McCartney

Too Many People Going Underground
Too Many Reaching For A Piece Of Cake

She's Waiting For Me

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #160 P.S. I Love You

Uma das minhas favoritas do disco Please Please Me, dos Beatles, em versão atualizada, animada, da turnê de 1993, mixada com Love Me Do. No final, o original, do tempo em que a gente ainda mandava e recebia cartas de amor. Tenho todas as que recebi guardadas! Lindas lembranças...

P.S. I Love You
Lennon/McCartney

As I write this letter
Send my love to you
Remember that I'll always
Be in love with you

Treasure these few words
Till we're together
Keep all my love forever
P.S. I love you
you, you, you

I'll be comin' home again to you, love
Until the day I do love
P.S. I love you
you, you, you

As I write this letter
Send my love to you (you know I want you to)
Remember that I'll always
Be in love with you (yeah)

Treasure these few words
Till we're together
Keep all my love forever
P.S. I love you
you, you, you

As I write this letter
Send my love to you (you know I want you to)
Remember that I'll always
Be in love with you (yeah)

I'll be comin' home again to you, love
Until the day I do love
P.S. I love you
you, you, you
you, you, you
I love you

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #159 Single Pigeon

Uma balada delicada do disco Red Rose Speedway para retomar a série do Paul: Single Pigeon.

A vida mudou, trabalho novo, amigos novos e antigos, mais tempo para a família. Estou mais leve, mais feliz. A crise passou. As músicas do Paul cumpriram seu papel, como eu previ mais de um ano atrás. Não consegui colocar uma por dia, mas valeu. Até consegui ver o Paul ao vivo neste período! Espero agora retomar a escrita por prazer, já que não tenho mais a escrita por obrigação. Com as músicas dele como refresco.
