Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #19 We All Stand Together


Até música para criança o Paul já fez. Mesmo durante a época dos Beatles já era possível ver algumas experiências dele nesse sentido. Mas We All Stand Together é declaradamente infantil. Gosto muito dela, e também do vídeo. Os sapos são incríveis.

We All Stand Together
Paul McCartney

Win Or Lose, Sink Or Swim
One Thing Is Certain We'll Never Give In
Side By Side, Hand In Hand
We All Stand Together
Play The Game, Fight The Fight
But What's The Point On A Beautiful Night?
Arm In Arm, Hand In Hand
We All Stand Together

Keeping Us Warm In The Night
La La La La
Walk In The Night
You'll Get It Right

Win Or Lose, Sink Or Swim
One Thing Is Certain We'll Never Give In
Side By Side, Hand In Hand
We All Stand Together

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #18 Wanderlust


Wanderlust é uma música do disco Tug of War, de 1982, que apareceu também na trilha sonora de Give My Regards to Broad Street. Acho a melodia linda e a interpretação do Paul também. Além de um grande compositor, ele é um músico e arranjador muitíssimo talentoso e um intérprete idem. O vídeo é do filme Give My Regards - com o Ringo Starr na bateria e o George Martin na produção. Alta qualidade!

Wanderlust
Paul Mccartney

Light Out Wanderlust
Head Us Out To Sea
Captain Says There'll Be A Bust
This One's Not For Me

Take Us From The Dark
Out Where We Can See
Captain's Out To Make His Mark
This One's Not For Me

Light Out Wanderlust
Help Us To Be Free
Light Out Wanderlust
Do It Just For Me
Wanderlust

Oh Where Did I Go Wrong My Love?
What Petty Grime Was I Found Guilty Of?
What Better Time To Find A Brand New Day?
Oh - Wanderlust Away

Light Out Wanderlust
Help Us To Be Free
Light Out Wanderlust
Do It Just For Me
Wanderlust

Captain's Out To Make His Mark
This One's Not To Be

Light Out Wanderlust
Head Us Out To Sea
Captain Says There'll Be A Bust
This One's Not For Me

Oh Where Did I Go Wrong My Love?
What Petty Grime Was I Found Guilty Of?
What Better Time To Find A Brand New Day?
Oh Wanderlust Away

Dropping A Line
Maybe This Time
It's Wanderlust For Me

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #17 Hey Jude



Hoje é dia de uma das minhas músicas favoritas dos Beatles. Ela foi composta no ano em que eu nasci e me traz boas lembranças da minha infância. Lembro da minha avó assobiar Hey Jude enquanto bordava comigo brincando aos seus pés. E não é por isso que a música mexe tanto com a gente? O vídeo que escolhi é o original, com os Beatles. Saudades, saudades, saudades...

Hey Jude
Lennon/McCartney

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey, Jude, don't be afraid,
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain,
Hey, Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Da da da da da da da da da.

Hey, Jude, don't let me down,
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you,hey Jude you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Da da da da da da da da da.

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better...

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #16 When I'm 64



Acho essa uma das músicas mais fofas dos Beatles. Só o Paul mesmo para criar uma letra dessas - sensível, apesar de parecer apenas engraçadinha à primeira vista. Sim, nós ainda precisamos do Paul, mesmo aos 68 anos. O vídeo é um trecho do filme Yellow Submarine.

When I'm 64
Lennon/McCartney

When I get older,
Losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a Valentine,
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I've been out
Till quarter to three,
would you lock the door?
Will you still need me,
Will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

You be all the true
And if you say

I could be handy
Mending a fuse,
When your lights are gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside.
Sunday morning go for a ride.

Doing the garden,
Digging the weeds,
who could ask for more?
Will you still need me,
will you still feed me,
when I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the isle of Wight
If it's not too dear.
Grandchildren on our knees
Vera, Chuck and Dave.

Send me a postcard,
Drop me a line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say.
Yours sincerely wasting away.

Give me your answer,
Fill in a form,
mine for ever more.
And you still need me,
you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #15 Tug of War



Essa música dá nome ao primeiro disco que comprei do Paul assim que foi lançado. A letra fala de coisas do tempo da Guerra Fria, que parece tão distante hoje. Eu tinha só 14 anos! Boas lembranças desse tempo... Ele está tão novinho no vídeo. É legal também ver o George Martin de novo ao lado do Paul.

Tug of War
Paul McCartney

informe o(s) compositor(es)
It's A Tug Of War
What With One Thing And Another
It's A Tug Of War
We Expected More
But With One Thing And Another
We Were Trying To Outdo Each Other
In A Tug Of War

In Another World
In Another World We Could
Stand On Top Of The Mountain
With Our Flag Unfurled
In A Time To Come
In A Time To Come We Will Be
Dancing To The Beat Played
On A Different Drum

It's A Tug Of War
Though I Know I Mustn't Grumble
It S A Tug Of War
But I Can't Let Go
If I Do You'll Take A Tumble
And The Whole Thing Is Going To Crumble
It's A Tug Of War

Pushing Pushing, Pulling Puliing
Pushing And Pulling

In Years To Come They May Discover
What The Air We Breathe And The Life We Lead
Are All About
But It Won't Be Soon Enough
Soon Enough For Me
No It Won't Be Soon Enough
Soon Enough For Me

In Another World We Couid
Stand On Top Of The Mountain
With Our Flag Unfurled
In A Time To Come We Willbe
Dancing To The Beat Played
On A Different Drum

We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
Played On A Different Drum
We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
Played On A Different Drum


It's A Tug Of War, A Tug Of War
A Tug Of War
What With One Thing And Another
It's A Tug Of War
We Expected More
But With One Thing And Another
In A Tug Of War

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #14 Let Me Roll It


Mais uma do disco Band On The Run. Declaração de amor bem rock'n'roll. Adoro!

Let Me Roll It
Paul McCartney

You gave me something, i understand,
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand
I can't tell you how i feel
My heart is like a wheel
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me toll it to you

I want to tell you
And now's the time
I want to tell you that
You're going to be mine

I can't tell you how i feel
My heart is like a wheel.
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you
Let me roll it
Let me roll it to you

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #13 Silly Love Songs


Essa música foi feita em resposta a uma música do John Lennon em que ele dizia que o Paul só fazia canções de amor bobas, na época em que estavam brigados. Pois é, o curioso é que ninguém conhece essa música do John, mas todo mundo já ouviu Silly Love Songs. Ou seja, as pessoas não estão cheias de canções de amor bobas. E menos ainda das canções de amor do Paul. O primeiro vídeo é de um show e o segundo mostra os bastidores de um turnê dos Wings.

Silly Love Songs
Paul McCartney

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
But i look around me and i see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here i go again
I love you, i love you,
I love you, i love you.

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me; say can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can't you see, what's wrong with that
I need to know, 'cause here i go again
I love you, i love you.

Love doesn't come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when i'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.

How can i tell you about my loved one?
How can i tell you about my loved one?

How can i tell you about my loved one?
(i loveyou)
How can i tell you about my loved one?
(i loveyou)
