Things We Said Today

You say you will love me
if I have to go.
You'll be thinking of me,
somehow, I will know.
Some day when I'm lonely,
wishing you weren't so far away.
Then I will remember
things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
Till the end of time
These days
such a kind, girl
Seem so hard to find
Some day when we're dreaming
deep in love, not alot to say
Then we will remember
things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that
love is love
And though we may be blind,
love is here to stay
and thats enough
to make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
we'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
deep in love, not alot to say
Then we will remember
things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that
love is love
And though we may be blind,
love is here to stay
and thats enough
to make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
we'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
deep in love, not alot to say
Then we will remember
things we said today

SONG INFO:
Name: Things We Said Today
Year: 1964
Album: A Hard Day's Night
Band: The Beatles
Lead Singer: Paul McCartney

MY THOUGHTS: I decided to do a song post on this song for two reasons. Today is Remembrance
Day and I don't know about you but I've always thought this song was about a man going off to war and leaving his girlfriend behind. I'm pretty sure that's what this song is about. I haven't really read the info about it. But lyrics like "you say you will love me if I have to go" and "some day when I'm lonely, wishing you weren't so far away" makes you think that he's going off to war. I've always adored this song for the sweetness it has. I have a soft spot for the whole concept of soldiers going off to war and such (I'm into the whole World War 2 thing). And Paul's voice is perfect for the song, its soft but has a certain power. And the sticato type strums that John(?) takes in between just adds authenticity to the song.

  1. OK. You picked one of my favorites, so I've gotta weigh in.

    I love about this minor key song how it switches to an upbeat major key for the bridge and then how the very last chord goes from the minor (sad) to end on the major (happy) chord. Just one example of the Beatles astonishing creativity.

    Thanks for a great post.
