Bye Bye, Love - George Harrison

Bye Bye, Love
F. Bryant, B. Bryant

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I know I'm gonna die
Goodbye my love bye bye

There goes our lady
With a "you know who"
I hope she's happy
And "old 'Clapper' too"
We had good rhythm
(and a little slide)
Then she stepped in
Did me a favour
I threw them both out.

(MMM) goodbye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love bye bye
(MMM) bye bye love (MMM)
It's gonna be a raining out of doors
(MMMM) hello happiness (MMM)
Goodbye my love goodbye

Now I'm into romance
I shy away from love
Got tired of ladies (ooh ooh)
That plot and shove me
And that's the reason
We all can (see) so clearly
They see that our lady
Is out on a 'spree'

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
Think I'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello emptiness

Cold Turkey - John Lennon

Cold Turkey
John Lennon

Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Maybe i'm Amazed - Paul McCartney

Maybe i'm Amazed
Paul McCartney

baby, i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,
and maybe i'm afraid of the way i leave you.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,
you hung me on the line.
maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man
who's in the middle of something
that he doesn't really understand.

baby, i'm a man,
and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
baby, won't you help me to understand?
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh.

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man
who's in the middle of something
that he doesn't really understand.

baby, i'm a man,
and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
baby, won't you help me to understand?
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,
maybe i'm afraid of the way leave you.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,
right me when i'm wrong-
maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Rolling Stones Magazine lies

estoy enfermo, lo reconozco, mi enfermedad es una adiccion... adictiva

si, es adictivo, muy adictivo, tanto que me afecta mas de lo que deberia, me vuelve compulsivo, con sudores frios, nervios incontrolables y un corazon agitado son sus sintomas, cada vez que me pasa pierdo la cabeza, no puedo evitarlo

mi enfermedad es grave, muy extrema, a alguna gente le parece bien, pero a otras...

mi enfermedad es una obsesion, se la conoce como Beatlemania

es muy... duro, ya me entiendes, es ver algo minimamente relacionado con los Beatles y ¡ZAS!, a comprarlo en el acto siempre que el dinero me alcance, o en su defecto ir corriendo al banco mas cercano a por mas... pero todo tiene un límite, y muchas veces tengo que pensarme muy bien si merece la pena gastarse tanto

ayer no, para nada, eran unos 3 eurillos, lo vi por casualidad, en un kiosco cerca de la facultad, al igual que hicieron meses anteriores revistas como Uncut o Mojo, este mes de diciembre la rolling stones española dedica un articulo al 40 aniversario del disco Beatle mas vendido, el conocido como el album blanco, asi que, irremediablemente, lo compre

mis sintomas se habian pasado, ya tranquilo, llegue a casa y me puse a leer la revista, nunca me ha gustado, es muy muy comercial, tirando a amarillista, como la gran mayoria de lo editado por prisa, pero son los Beatles y se deja leer hasta que...

...hasta que...

.... Leo lo siguiente "Eric Clapton salvó la cancion de George" refiriendose a While My Guitar Gently Weeps, en letras grandes de titular y varias veces a lo largo del articulo, a lo que yo me pregunto ¿se habra documentado Josu Lapresa o es fan de Clapton? ¿o simplemente ve que hay guitarra de Clapton y se inventa el resto para justificarlo? porque mucha historia Beatle no conoce

en el 68 los beatles estaban como estaban,y un dia llega el bueno de George Harrison al estudio, que estaba vacio, y graba la canción con una guitarra acústica, pieza que se puede encontrar facilmente en el Anthology y que ha sido utilizada para el Love con un cuarteto de cuerda al final, lo dejó grabado y se fué

en esto que luego llega George Martin, ve que se ha pasado George y lo escucha, y lo flipó en colores, cuando vinieron el resto de los Beatles tambien lo fliparon, ya que fue cuando se dieron cuenta que George podria ser (y lo fue) un gran compositor, tanto que entre Lennon y McCartney añadieron un par de versos a la cancion y estribillo, y decidieron grabarla, ya que es un album doble y hay sitio para todos, al fin y al cabo, si iba a entrar Revolution 9 no podian dejar While My Guitar Gently Weeps fuera

así llegamos al dia de la grabación, antes estaba George con su amigo Eric Clapton y George le dice que le quiere en la canción, con lo que ahora el que flipa es Clapton, "tocar con los Beatles, y ademas en su siguiente disco, es algo de lo que me siento muy afortunado" diria años después

total, que llegan al estudio y George da instrucciones muy precisas de como quiere que suene su guitarra, en esta sesion es de las pocas en las que estuvieron presentes todos los Beatles a la vez en este disco, al finalizar la sesion Clapton comentó "no entiendo por qué me habeis pedido esto, suena demasiado a mi, no a Beatle y mucho menos a George"

y esta es la historia de por qué la revista miente y esta es la historia de lo que realmente sucedió en torno a tan maravillosa canción

Por Ultimo, recordaros que mañana se cumpliran 7 años del triste fallecimiento del gran George Harrison, asi que recomiendo rendirle tributando escuchando alguna cancion suya al menos, o si no un disco o un concierto a su memoria

When We Was Fab - George Harrison

When We Was Fab
George Harrison, Jeff Lynne

Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like stangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had

Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - you are my world you are my only love

And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away
Take you away

The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - but It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me

Fab
And You've Really Got A Hold Me
fab - long time ago when we was fab

God - John Lennon

y que me de suerte



God

God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain

I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that's reality

The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over

Liverpool 8 - Ringo Starr

ringo homenajea a su ciudad natal aprovechando que este año es su año cultural


Liverpool 8
Richard Starkey

I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea
Then I got a job, in a factory
Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory
It was good for him, it was great for me

Livepool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down

Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on
With George & Paul, and my friend John
We rocked all night, we all looked tough
We didn't have much, but we had enough

Livepool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down

In the U.S.A. when we played Shea
We were Number One, and it was fun
When I look back, it sure was cool
For those Four Boys from Liverpool

Livepool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Admiral Grove
I always followed my heart, so I took it on the road
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down

La la la la la la... Liverpool

Band On The Run - Paul McCartney & Wings

si nadie lo impide vamos con el mes beatle en solitario



Band On The Run

Paul McCartney

Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you.
If i ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All i need is a pint a day
If i ever get out of here.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there i hope you're having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Well, the night was falling as the desert world began to settle down.
In the town they're searching for us every where, but we never w ill be found.
Band on the run, band on the run

And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Hueco de la pared

Desde el principio de los tiempos, o hasta donde mi memoria alcanza, siempre ha habido un cuadro colgado de la pared de mi habitacion, hace años que por vergüenza ajena cada vez que va una visita pienso en taparlo, pero nunca lo he hecho, es infantil (relativamente) y esta descolorido, pero lo he ido dejando hasta que el otro dia alguien sugirio que deberia qutiarlo, dije que de esta no pasaba

lo primero que hice fue ir corriendo a comprarme un poster de Abbey Road, y al volver contento con él quite el cuadro y me decidi a pegar el poster, pero era muy grande con lo que se comia la mitad de los posters del alrededor

viendo este fracaso busque otro poster, tambien de los Beatles, mas pequeño, volvi a casa, quite el cuadro, y lo pegue, pero no quedaba bien, seguia siendo grande, y ademas en la pared se notaba donde habia estado el anterior cuadro, ademas de sobresalir las alcayatas, que al quitarlas lie la de Tejero pegando tiros en el congreso, asi que volvi a poner las alcayatas y guarde el poster con el otro

tercer intento, mantener el cuadro pero cambair el dibujo, para eso me hice con un poster de una revista, lo recorte para reducirle tamaño y relleno con la esperanza de hacer un puzzle adecuado para el tamaño, un cuarto no cabe y jode lo demas...

asi estoy a dia de hoy, buscando opciones alternativas con las que poder terminar con este Hueco en la pared o una ingenieria valida para estos casos

I've Just Seen a Face - The Beatles

quiero ver la pelicula, solo por curiosidad, que a mi me gusta mas la original





I've Just Seen a Face
John Lennon/Paul McCartney

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet,
She's just a girl for me
and I want all the world to see
We've met.

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware,
But as it is I'll dream of her tonight.

Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight,
for other girls were never quite
Like this

Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet,
She's just a girl for me
and I want all the world to see
We've met.

Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

Falling yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

I Need You - The Beatles

Mañana sale en dvd la pelicula de HELP!, remasterizada, y es una buena pelicula de los beatles, absurda, divertida, pero sobre todo con buena musica



I Need You
Harrison

You don't realize how much I need you,
love you all the time and never leave you.
Please come on back to me,
I'm lonely as can be,
I need you.

Said you had a thing or two to tell me.
How was I to know you would upset me?
I didn't realize,
as I looked in your eyes,
You told me

Oh yes you told me, you don't want my loving anymore.
That's when it hurt me, and feeling like this
I just can't go on anymore.

Please remember how I feel about you,
I could never really live without you.

So come on back and see,
just what you mean to me,
I need you.

I Am The Walrus - The Beatles

psicodelico video, pero una gran cancion en el aniversario del cumpleaños de Lennon



I Am The Walrus
Lennon/McCartney

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.

All You Need Is Love - The Beatles

recientemente le preguntaron a Brian May (Queen) qué banda sonora le pondria al planeta Tierra, el contesto que All You Need Is Love, yo le doy la razon al estar de acuerdo, y asi empezamos el segundo año de la canción de la semana



All You Need is Love
George Harrison/John Lennon/Paul 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.

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

Chorus

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.

Chorus

All you need is love (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).

El disco más influyente

hoy hace 40 años de esto:

el disco más influyente de la historia, un disco que al intentar superarlo hizo que los Rolling, Bowie o los Beach Boys se deprimieran o hundieran en la miseria del fondo del rock, estos últimos no supieron salir a flote ni muchos años después, un albúm de los mejores de la historia, probablemente el mejor, y hoy cumple 40 años un disco que marco un antes y un después, tanto en la música como en la psicodelia y en la forma de hacer discos, un disco con mucha historia detrás, pero ya habrá tiempo de contarlo en otra ocasión

While My Guitar gently Weeps - George Harrison

While My Guitar gently Weeps
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
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

Feliz CumpleBlog!

Lectores, hace ya un año que este blog abrió sus puertas, un año que ha dado mucho de si, 80 y pico entradas, buen contenido, a mi juicio no esta nada mal, en este que tras nefasto comienzo y después de un recorrido muy guadiana al pie del cañon, terminamos el año en lo alto, no alto en visitas ni comentarios, alto, desde el punto de vista que dios me dio, porque el blog goza de buena salud, y mira que no me han pasado cosas en este año, a destacar el concurso recién finalizado, que de ser sincero esperaba al menos un par de concursantes, pero entre las fallas que no les dejan dormir y entre que uno tiene mucho trabajo y la otra novio nuevo pues se disculpa, además, seguro que a Ryoga le ha echo ilusion, pero mas ilusion me hace a mi que me pidais canciones, que ando falto de ideas

solo me queda agradeceros que me hayais leido durante este año y que lo hagais unos cuantos más, respecto a la seleccion musical de celebración de aqui abajo es muy sencilla, los Beatles porque cantan el cumpleaños, U2 porque la cancion se llama como los años de blog, y la 3º porque me da la gana, asi que gracias por pasaros y feliz CumpleBlog (estad atentos que me queda alguna sorpresita), que yo seguire aqui dando guerra

¡Más madera!¡ES LA GUERRA! ¡Y 2 HUEVOS DUROS!
