Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #101 Press

O clipe de Press, com o Paul passeando pelo metrô de Londres, é muito fofo. Bom para encerrar a semana sorrindo - e sem stress, como diz a letra.

Press
Paul McCartney

Darling, I Love You Very, Very, Very Much,
And I Really Am Relying On Your Touch.
But With All These People Listening In,
I Don't Know Where I Ought To Begin.
Maybe We Could Hit Upon A Word,
Something That The Others Haven't Heard,
When You Want Me To Love You,
Just Tell Me To Press.

Right There, That's It. Yes. When You Feel The Stress
Don't Just Stand There, Tell Me To Press.

You Can Give Me What I Want I Must Confess,
My Body Needs Attention My Mind Is In A Mess,
Oklahoma Was Never Like This.
Never Like This, It Was Never Like This,
Ever Like This, Say Was It Ever Like This?
Oklahoma Was Never Like This.
It Was Never Like This ...

Darling, I Know It Really Wouldn't Be A Crime,
If I Say I Want To Lnve You All The Time.
But With All These People Listening In,
I Don't Know Where I Ought To Begin.
Maybe We Should Have A Secret Code,
Before We Both Get Ready To Explode.
When You Want Me To Love You,
Just Tell Me To Press. Press ...

Right There, That's It. Yes.
When You Feel The Stress,
Don't Just Stand There.
Won't You Tell Me To Press?

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #100 Freedom

Freedom foi escrita após os atentados de 11 de setembro de 2001, em NY. Não é uma das minhas preferidas em termos musicais, mas concordo em gênero, número e grau com a letra, porque, para mim, liberdade é o bem mais precioso do ser humano - de qualquer ser humano, seja branco ou negro ou amarelo, seja heterossexual ou homossexual, seja adulto ou criança, seja cristão ou muçulmano ou budista, o que for.

Freedom
Paul McCartney

This is my right
A right given by god
To live a free life
To live in freedom

Talking about freedom
I’m talking about freedom
I will fight for the right
To live in freedom

And do you want
To try to take it away
You will have to answer
Cause this is my right

Talking about freedom
I’m talking about freedom
I will fight for your right
To live in freedom

Yeah Oh

Talking about freedom
I’m talking about freedom
I will fight for your right
To live in freedom

Everybody talking about freedom
I’m talking about freedom
We will fight for the right
To live in freedom

Oh

Talking about freedom
I’m talking about freedom
I will fight for your right
To live in freedom

Talking about freedom
I’m talking about freedom
We will fight for the right
To live in freedom

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #99 (I Want To) Come Home

Parte da trilha sonora do filme Estão Todos Bem, com Robert De Niro, esta é uma das mais recentes do Paul. Delicada e linda, para variar.

(I Want To) Come Home
Paul McCartney

For so long I was out in the cold,
and I taught myself to believe every story I told.
It was fun hanging over the moon, heading into the sun,
but it's been too long.
Now I wanna come home.

Came so close to the edge of defeat.
But I made my way in the shade, keeping out of the heat.
It was fun shooting out of the stars, looking into the sun,
but it's been too long.
Now I wanna come home.

Home.
Where's there's nothing but sweet surrender,
to the memories from afar.
Home.
To the place where the truth lies waiting,
we remember who we are.

For too long I was out on my own.
Every day I spent trying to prove I could make it alone.
It was fun hanging over the moon, heading into the sun,
but it's been too long.
Now I wanna come home.

Home.

For so long I was out in the cold,
but I taught myself to believe every story I told.
It was fun hanging over the moon heading into the sun,
but it's been too long.
Now I wanna come home.

Yeah, it's been too long, now I want to come home.
Been too long, now I want to come home.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #98 End of the End

End of the End é um belo último desejo do Paul. Também sempre quis que meu fim do fim seja assim.

End of the End
Paul McCartney

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn't bad
So a much better place
Would have to be special
No need to be sad

On the day that I die I'd like jokes to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry

[Whistling]

On the day that I die I'd like bells to be rung
And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
That lovers have played on
And laid on while listening to songs that were sung

At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #97 Calico Skies

Calico Skies é uma joia que descobri garimpando as músicas do Paul. A música é linda e o vídeo, uma graça. Para levantar o astral do dia.

PS - Pena que a Linda se foi tão cedo, um ano depois desta música ser lançada. Eu queria ver os dois envelhecendo juntos, um amor assim é tão raro...

Calico Skies
Paul McCartney

It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies

I will hold you for as long as you like
I'll love you for the rest of my life

Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide

I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll love you for the rest of my life

Long live all of us crazy soldiers
Who were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise

I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my ...
For the rest of my life

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #96 All My Trials

All My Trials é uma regravação de uma antiga música folk americana. Muito legal esta versão.

All My Trials
Paul McCartney

There's only one thing that money can't buy,
True love, that will never die, oh no, no.

All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

If religion was a thing that money could buy,
Well the rich would live, and the poor would die, wo-oh.

All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

ah -
ah -

The river of Jordan is chilly and cold, yeah-hey-yeah,
Chills the body, but not the soul, yeah, oh.

All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

Uma música do Paul McCartney por dia - #95 London Town

Uma pérola dos Wings: London Town. O vídeo é muito engraçadinho.

London Town
Paul McCartney

Walking down the sidewalk one purple afternoon,
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune upon his flute.
Toottoottoottoot.
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of london town.
People pass me by on my imaginary street,
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet,
Holding conversations that are always incomplete.
Well i don't know.

Oh, where are there places to go?
Someone, somewhere has to know.
I'don't know.

Out of work again,the actor entertains his wife
With the same old stories of his ordinary life.
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife.
Well, i don't know.

Oh, where are there places to go?
Someone, somewhere has to know.

Crawling down the pavement on a sunday afternoon,
I was arrested by a rozzer
Wearing a pink balloon about his foot.
Toot toot toot toot.
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of london town.

Someone, somewhere has to know.
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of london town.
