Un Regalo

Estaba esperando una ocasión “especial” para poner esta genial canción de The Beatles, grabada en febrero de 1968 junto con Lady Maddona, antes de irse para la India, es Hey Bullgod, tal vez pocos la conozcan.

Esta canción no apareció publicada hasta 1969 como parte de la banda sonora “Yellow Submarine”, según dice Geoff Emerick, el ingeniero de sonido de la banda, esta fue, tal vez, la ultima canción que ellos grabaron con ánimos y motivados, en el vídeo se puede ver el feeling, nada comparado con el video de “Let it Be”. segun leí por ahí esta canción partió de un boceto que tenia guardado Ono Lennon, y que fue grabado aprovechando que tenían que estar en el estudio mientras eran filmados para hacer el vídeo promocional de “Lady Madonna”. En mi concepto, es una de mis preferidas de la banda. De esta canción me gusta todo, el piano, el magistral bajo, el solo de guitarra, los ladridos de Paul y la locura del final, ya que de lo sencilla que es, sale un genial sonido y una letra que tal vez nunca olvidare. copio algo de “The Spanish Beatles Page“:

La canción no iba a llamarse en principio “Hey Bulldog”, pero en la improvisación en la que los Beatles solían acabar las canciones que terminaban con el volumen fundiéndose, Paul empezó a ladrar, y se decidió incluir la frase “Hey Bulldog”.”

Sheepdog
Standing in the rain
Bullfrog
Doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you’re something special when you smile?

Child-like
No one understands
Jack knife
In your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don’t know what it’s like to listen to your fears

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me, if you’re lonely you can talk to me

Yeah hey, oh!
Ho, ho!
Yeah!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho!

Big man (Yeah)
Walking in the park
Wigwam
Frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know me but you haven’t got a clue

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me, if you’re lonely you can talk to me
Hey!

Wahoo woof! Woof!

Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!

[Hey man, what's that noise?

Woof!

What d'you say?

I said woof!

D'you know anymore?

Wooaah ha ha ha!

You've got it, that's great! That's right! That's it, man, hoo!

Give it to me, man, hurry! I've got ten children, ho!

Ah ho! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Quiet boy, quiet!

OK.]

Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog!

Sabes mi nombre…(mirá el número)

Good evening and welcome to Slaggers, 
Featuring Denis O’Bell 
Come on Ringo! let’s hear it for Denis! 
Good evening 
You know my name 
Better look up the number 
You know my name 
That’s right, look up my number

 

Una de las canciones menos conocidas de The Beatles, grabada en parte este día hace 41 años, justo 7 dias después de lanzar el Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. John llegó a Abbey Road con la idea de una canción con una sola linea…’You know my name look up the number‘ y eso es todo. Total improvisación. contando con la participación de Brian Jones de los Rolling Stones en un solo de Saxo. En 1969 John la rescató del olvido y la editó. Terminó siendo el lado B del disco de sencillo de “Let it Be” en 1970. Tambien aparece en los Past Masters. Los invito a que la escuchen. Me gusta demasiado, Los Beatles afortunadamente hacian lo que les daba la gana.

Un man muy teso le hizó mero analisis. muy interesante aunque no se si a Lennon le hubiera interesado.
Es una efemeride poco importante, pero mañana llega Hugo desde España. es un día apartentemente importante.

Deseos absurdos, como esta canción, que es imposible traducir literalmente, uno dira que la entiende, tal vez, pero es mentira. disfruten, de 1969 de Ono lennon, fue escrita para una campaña politica pero pss, eso no importa, un gran exito.

Here come old flattop

he come grooving up slowly 
He got joo-joo eyeball
he one holy roller 
He got hair down to his knee 
Got to be a joker
he just do what he please 

He wear no shoeshine
he got toe-jam football 
He got monkey finger
he shoot coca-cola 
He say “I know you, you know me” 
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free 
Come together right now over me 

He bag production
he got walrus gumboot 
He got Ono sideboard
he one spinal cracker 
He got feet down below his knee 
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease 
Come together right now over me 

He roller-coaster
he got early warning 
He got muddy water
he one mojo filter 

He say “One and one and one is three” 
Got to be good-looking ’cause he’s so hard to see 
Come together right now over me 

It feels like years…

…Pero inmediatamente después de pensar agresivo, siempre vuelvo a sentirme como tal vez quiera que uno se sienta. a nada, a una onza, a basura. como si uno hubiera hecho algo perverso, pero bueno, no hay modo de pedir perdon, pero si se siente el malestar…El eterno retorno?, por supuesto amigo mio.

Esta es una canción de 1965, de The Beatles, de “Rubber Soul”, se llama “You Won’t see me”, y habla sobre la ausencia…oh claro que si…uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh la la la. Aqui una versión tocada en España.

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
But I can’t 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

Blackbird.

juepuerca. :S. Canción de 1968, del “album blanco” maravillosa por donde se escuche. perdón?

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Para…

una canción muy simple pero muy buena, del Rubber Soul, de 1965, de George “llevadin” Harrison, con el bajo “fuzz” que es la que le da vida. Para un amiga. Nada de amor o esos demonios.

 

I’ve got a word or two
To say about the things that you do
You’re telling all those lies
About the good things that we can have
if we close our eyes

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
’cause I won’t be there with you

I left you far behind
The ruins of the life that you had in mind
And though you still can’t see
I know your mind’s made up
You’re gonna cause more misery

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
’cause I won’t be there with you

Although your mind’s opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you’ve got time to rectify
All the thighs that you should

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
’cause I won’t be there with you

Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
’cause I won’t be there with you
Think for yourself
’cause I won’t be there with you

Ella Solo dice…

Tal vez hoy sea tiempo, esto es lo que yo digo ante las “palabras”, aunque en teoria, ni a mi me importa (?) 

She said, She said, de los beatles (no le hagan caso al video ¬¬)
compuesta por jhon lennon
supuestamente se remite a su “primer viaje guiado” con LSD

She said “I know what it’s like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad”
And she’s making me feel like I’ve never been born.

I said “Who put all those things in your head?
Things that make me feel that I’m mad
And you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.”

She said “you don’t understand what I said”
I said “No, no, no, you’re wrong”
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right

I said “Even though you know what you know
I know that I’m ready to leave
‘Cause you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.”

She said “you don’t understand what I said”
I said “No, no, no, you’re wrong”
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right

I said “Even though you know what you know
I know that I’m ready to leave
‘Cause you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.”

She said , she said “I know what it’s like to be dead”
(“I know what it’s like to be dead”)

I know what it is to be sad…

Carry That Weight…(oh girl)

Bueno, al día después de haber “escrito” sobre eso del Eterno Retorno, y en como lo llama Milan Kundera “esa gran carga” se me vino a la cabeza mientras miraba un paisaje….Que habia una canción de los beatles sobre “ese peso”, claro, la magnifica “Carry That Weight” (“llevar ese peso”).

Es una canción del Abbey Road (todos los albumes de los beatles tiene el calificativo de ‘miticos’ y entonces ya no hace falta repetirlo ¬¬), y hace parte del Famoso Medley que compone el lado B de ese trabajo, publicado en 1969, “Carry That Weight” va entre dos canciones que son “Golden Slumbers” y “The End” que de hecho es considerada como una sola cancion dividida en tres, ya que fueron grababas una tras otra sin parar.

Esas tres canciones son brutales (por no decir groserias) y algo para destacar es que “Carry That Weight”,  es considerada la ‘continuación’ de “You Never give me my money” que está incluida tambien en el trabajo.
En esta canción no canta John Lennon.

Y todo esto lo digo, porque es imposible escuchar “Carry That Weight”, sin las demas canciones que le dan la unidad, por eso pongo el video con las tres canciones, que son cortas.

(como no hay video original, pongo uno de un concierto de Sir Paul McCartney en Japon, con Phil Collins y Eric Clapton entre otros)

Boy(girl?), you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down

Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Tambien vean una muy buena version que hizo Bono de U2 con otros que no se quienes son, pero esta es el paquete “You Never Give Me Your Money” y “Carry That Weight”. Buen Día

Come And Get It

Pensando en palabras…aleatoriamente(?) sonó esta canción:

Una magistral mcCartney 100% de 1969, grabada como demo para un grupo llamado BadFinger. un día que llego temprano a Abbey Road la grabó toda el y quedó mucho mejor que la versión “original”, en mi opinion.
Las cosas estan ahí, hay que saber ver y saber aprovechar. Pero ojo que no durará para siempre. 
una Mccartney sin John Lennon.

If you want it here it is, come and get it.
Make your mind up fast.

If you want it anytime I can give it
but you better hurry ‘cos it may not last.

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
will you walk away from a fool and his money

If you want it, here it is, come and get it,
but you better hurry ‘cos it’s going fast.

If you want it here it is, come and get it,
make your mind up fast.

If you want it anytime I can give it,
but you’d better hurry ‘cos it may not last.

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
will you walk away from a fool and his money

Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it
but you’d better hurry ‘cos it’s going fast.
You’d better hurry ‘cos it’s going fast.

Fool and his money.

Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it,
but you’d better hurry ‘cos it’s going fast,
you’d better hurry ‘cos it’s going fast,
you’d better hurry ‘cos it’s going fast.

Fixing a Hole…

…

Esto quiero decir, hay momentos en la vida que toca hacer cosas que duelen, que pueden no ser buenas, pero que si uno sigue como iba, pues se “embolata” uno mas, toca hacerlo, el sabio oráculo de Matrix decía: “El verdadero reto para una desición es volver a tomarla…”, en fin. Cuando Toca, Toca

I´M FIXING A HOLE WHERE THE RAIN GETS IN

AND STOPS MY MIND FROM WANDERING
WHERE IT WILL GO

I´M FILLING THE CRACKS THAT RAN THROUGH THE DOOR
AND KEPT MY MIND FROM WANDERING
WHERE IT WILL GO

AND IT REALLY DOESN´T MATTER
IF I´M WRONG I´M RIGHT
WHERE I BELONG I´M RIGHT
WHERE I BELONG

SEE THE PEOPLE STANDING THERE
WHO DISAGREE AND NEVER WIN
AND WONDER WHY THEY DON´T GET IN MY DOOR

I´M PAINTING MY ROOM IN THE COLOURFUL WAY
AND WHEN MY MIND IS WANDERING
THERE I WILL GO

AND IT REALLY DOESN´T MATTER
IF I´M WRONG I´M RIGHT
WHERE I BELONG I´M RIGHT
WHERE I BELONG

SILLY PEOPLE RUN AROUND
THEY WORRY ME AND NEVER ASK ME
WHY THEY DON´T GET PAST MY DOOR

I´M TAKING THE TIME FOR A NUMBER OF THINGS
THAT WEREN´T IMPORTANT YESTERDAY
AND I STILL GO

I´M FIXING A HOLE WHERE THE RAIN GETS IN
AND STOPS MY MIND FROM WANDERING
WHERE IT WILL GO
