A continuação de "um dia na vida"

Engraçado como algumas canções se alojam no nosso subconsciente e ficam em "loop" na nossa mente. Esse tem sido meu caso com "A Day In The Life" nessa semana.

A tara começou quando vi um video do Jaques Sobretudo, no qual ele filosofa sobre a última música do Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) e as versões da música de Neil Yong e Jeff Beck.

São versões bem diferentes. Jeff Beck faz uma versão instrumental na qual mostra seu talento na guitarra - e sinceramente tinha tempo que não ouvia um som virtuoso e achava legal - enquanto o Neil Young leva nãoseiquantas mil pessoas no festival de Glastonbury'09 ao delírio.

Então caso você não conheça "A Day In The Life" dos Beatles, faça um favor a si mesmo e vá para o post abaixo para ouvir a versão original antes de ouvir os covers, e depois escolha seu favorito!

Um dia na vida

Estou viajando nessa música essa semana, então para compartilhar com vocês segue a letra e video! 

(Sem maiores detalhes, histórias e apresentações, por que ela dispensa isso!)

A Day In The Life

(The Beatles)

(sugar, plum, fairy... sugar, plum, fairy.)
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had a look
Having read the book, I'd love to turn you on...

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on.
