Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
- Jos tähänkin vielä joku väittää vastaan, niin hänellä mahtaa olla tosi paha trippi tämä trippi nimeltä ELÄMÄ...

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

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
Lennon/MacCartney
Mutta en tiedä, miksi olit ottanut tähän Paul McCartneyn biisejä äidistään ks. Let It Be...
John Lennon tuotannosta saa paremman käsityksen, kun ottaa esimerkkejä hänen soolotuotannostaan. Beatles-aika oli Beatles-aikaa ja aika moni näistä biiseistä vaatii kyllä ihan oikeasti tulkinnan, ettei niitä tulkita, kuten Hey Jude (Hey Jew) on väännetty joskus.
Imagine on kyllä ehdottomasti koko Lennon-tuotannon puhuttelevin ja haastavin biisi.
Tässä kuitenkin jonon jatkoksi vielä yksi, ei niin mitätön Lennon-biisi:
Two, one two three four

Miksi en olisi ottanut - kappalehan on äärimmäisen kaunis. Toisaalta, en tiennyt McCartneyn laulavan äidistään. En ole mitenkään syvällisesti perehtynyt tämän musiikin teoriapuoleen - kenelle mikäkin laulu on loppujen lopuksi osoitettu - kuuntelen vain sujuvasti. Olin tähän asti siinä luulossa että "Mother Mary" edustaa samaa hahmoa kuin esim. "Herramme Äiti Maria" J.Löytyn saman nimisessä kappaleessa. Enkä sitä paitsi usko, etteikö kuulijalla olisi oikeutta tulkita kuulemiaan kappaleita omalla tavallaan.
..............................................
Lennon ja McCartney ovat tehneet lukemattomia todella onnistuneita kappaleita. Se on ikävää että myös erittäin lahjakas Harrison on jäänyt vähemmälle huomiolle.
SOMETHING
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
(George Harrison)
Nimenomaan tulkinta on aina ihmisellä itsellään. Se on tietysti hieman harmillista, jos jotain biisiä tulkitaan esimerkiksi natsiaatteen mukaiseksi. Yhtälailla näitä biisejä on tulkittu kristillisiksi, vaikka biisi kertoo vain raadollisesta elämästä tai Paulin uniin tulleesta, jo edesmenneestä äidistä, kuten tuo Let It Be. Paulin äidin nimi siis oli Mary ja on loogista, jos hän kirjoittaa 'mother Mary'.
George Harrisonhan ei ollut millään tavalla sivuutettu, mutta Beatlesin aikana Lennon ja McCartney parivaljakko oli siinä määrin dominoiva, että vaikea sieltä olisi ollut tulla esiin. Harrisonin soolotuotanto on kuitenkin jokseenkin mittava ja hänellä oli hieno ura myös elokuvien parissa. Harrisonista täytyy kuitenkin sanoa, että sanoittajana tästä kolmikosta Lennon taisi olla paras. McCartney on kuitenkin yksi koko musiikkihistorian menestyneimpiä ellei menestynein lauluntekijä, ohittaa siinä Lennonin mennentullen.
Huomioitavaa on myös se, että jos Lennon tai Harrison puhuu Herrasta, niin heidän molempien lauluissa toistuu sana 'Krishna', joka viittaa vahvasti hindulaisuuteen. Paul McCartneyn biiseistä ei pahemmin tällaisia viittauksia Herroihin tai Rouviin löydy.
Kiitän tiedoista :-)
