Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #173 - All things must pass



Bela homenagem do Paul e outros amigos a George Harrison. E linda música do George. Com certeza, tudo passa, mesmo.

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up
And has left you with no warning
But it's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this my love is up
And must be leaving
It has not always been this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays at nighttime
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #171 In Spite Of All The Danger / 20 Flight Rock



Música da época do The Quarrymen, única escrita pelo Paul e pelo George Harrison.
Versão atualizada, com 20 Flight Rock adicional.

In Spite of All the Danger
McCartney - Harrison

In spite of all the danger,
in spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

In spite of all the heartache,
that you may cause me,
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

I'll look after you
like I've never done before.
I'll keep all the others
from knocking at your door.

In spite of all the danger,
in spite of all that may be,
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

In spite of all the heartache
that you may cause me,
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #170 Suicide



Hoje vi um vídeo do Sinatra e resolvi procurar alguma música do Paul que tivesse a ver. Achei Suicide, que ele escreveu aos 14 anos e que nunca gravou em disco. E que chegou a mandar para Sinatra, que não quis gravá-la. Aqui, um vídeo da época dos Wings. Linda e rara!

Suicide
Paul McCartney

Girls it's been my pleasure
To know quite a lot of you.
And in the main
You're pretty sane, it's true.
But there are a few who do to
doo ti doo too beautiful a job.
It isn't quite what they planned
When the man gets the upper hand.
He's takin' her for a ride.
I'd call it suicide.

If when she tries to run away
And he calls her back, she comes.
If there's a next time, he's okay
Cause she's under both his thumbs.
She limps along to his side
Singing a song of ruin. I'd
bet he says nothin' doin'.
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide.

She loves to ride in big parades.
But he wouldn't so she won't.
She needs at least a dozen maids.
But if he says no she don't.
He wishes she knew his side.
Soon there'll be trouble brewin' I'd
bet he says nothin' doin'
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide.

Suicide, she's commitin' it
Suicide, he's not gettin' it
Suicide, it's a quittin' a day.

She limps along to his side
Singing a song of ruin. I'd
bet he says nothin' doin'.
I-I-I-I I'd call it suicide.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #169 You Won't See Me



Uma música fofa do disco Rubber Soul, que o Paul quase nunca toca:
You Won't See Me. Aliás, esse é um disco cheio de pérolas.

You Won't See Me
The Beatles

When I call you up,
Your line's engaged.
I have had enough,
So act your age.

We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won't see me.
You won't see me.

I don't know why you
Should want to hide.
But I can't get through.
My hands are tied.

I won't want to stay.
I don't have much to say
And I can turn away
And you won't see me.
You won't see me.

Time after time
You refuse to even listen.
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing.

Though the days are few
They're filled with tears.
And since I lost you,
It feels like years.

Yes, it seems so long,
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me.
You won't see me.

Time after time
You refuse to even listen.
I wouldn't mind
If I knew what I was missing,

Though the days are few
They're filled with tears.
And since I lost you,
It feels like years.

Yes, it seems so long,
Girl, since you've been gone
And I just can't go on
If you won't see me.
You won't see me.
Yeah.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #168 Brown Eyed Handsome Man



Versão do Paul de um clássico de Chuck Berry: Brown Eyed Handsome Man. Aliás, o que ele é, de fato. Vídeo divertido.

Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Chuck Berry

Well, flying across the desert in a TWA, I saw a woman walking across the sand.
She'd be walking thirty miles en route to Bombay to meet a brown eyed handsome man,
her destination was a brown eyed handsome man.

Way back in history three thousand years, in fact ever since the world began,
there's been a whole lotta good women shedding tears over a brown eyed handsome man,
a lot of trouble was a brown eyed handsome man.

Well, the Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass, she had the world in the palm of her hand
she lost both her arms in a wrestling match to win a brown eyed handsome man,
she fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man.

Well, a beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind between a doctor and a lawyer man.
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself a brown eyed handsome man,
just like your daddy was, a brown eyed handsome man.

Well, a two, three the count with nobody home he hit a high flyer into the stand.
A rounded third he was a-heading for home,
it was a brown eyed handsome man that won the game,
It was a brown eyed handsome man.
It was a brown eyed handsome man.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #167 Long Tall Sally



Um clássico do rock interpretado pelo Paul para começar o fim de semana em alto astral: Long Tall Sally. Guitarra do Mark Knopfler. Nem a princesa Diana conseguiu ficar parada!

Long Tall Sally
Little Richard

Don't tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
He claims he got married, but he's having lots of fun
Oh, baby, yeah, baby
Oh, baby, having me some fun tonight

Well, long tall Sally, she's built sweet
She's got everything that Uncle John needs
Oh, baby, yeah baby
Oh, baby, having me some fun tonight

Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley
Oh, baby, yeah baby
Oh, baby, having me some fun tonight

I'm gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight, have some fun tonight
Everything's all right
Have some fun, having me some fun tonight
