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

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.

Love Comes To Everyone

ok,  so there's this awesome song that I just discovered tonight by George Harrison called Love Comes To Everyone. It instantly became my favourite song. Its so easy to listen to and the music flows so beautifully. I'm not sure which year it was recorded but its so sweet sounding. If you havent heard this song, I suggest you do. Its really very moving. Also, other really good songs by George during his solo career are What Is Life, My Sweet Lord, All Those Years Ago and This Song. I'd also like to add something even though it has nothing to do with what i've been talking about but...I was looking through my pictures on my computer and I saw this one and thought it'd be interesting to draw. Challenging but interesting. Its one of Paul and George but its George who caught my eye. The picture is taken by his side profile (i've never been good with those but its worth a try). You're probably wondering what this picture looks like so i'll show you.

It's a nice picture, right? so once i finish the drawing, i'll post the final piece :)

NOOOO!

I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT JOHN'S BIRTHDAY!!!! I am a horrible fan! I'm SO sorry!!! you see, I wasnt even home on his birthday so...i guess i get credit for that. But to make up for it, i'd like to say:
Happy birthday John! 71, I believe? Wow, you never realize it was so long ago until you hit 70. or 71. So  here's to John Winston Lennon :)

I just came across this photo earlier tonight, isnt john pretty? *blushes and looks down but has a cute smile on face* xD *shrugs then says sweetly "isnt he pretty?"* xD you can bet i'll be drawing this later tonight

"The Norwegian Woods"

In Geography class today, we were learning about the different populations and what not and we were doing one for Africa, Norway, Brazil and Russia. Then it happened. My teacher pulls down the map and says "this here is the Norwegian woods" and I burst into laugher. I have no idea what came over me. I just burst into laugher. Everyone was looking at me and the teacher asks what was so funny about that and I say "oh nothing, I just have an inside joke about Norway with my friends. I'm sorry for laughing". The teacher gives me sceptical but says "ok...". It was too funny. And I thought that fellow beatle fans could relate to this. Obviously the song Norwegian Wood has come to play in this post xD

Guitar Patterns in Rock n Roll

Being a guitarist and a beatles fan, I play alot of beatle songs. And what I've realized is, in their earlier days (when they were doing alot of rock n roll covers) there seems to be a familiar pattern. Such as in Thats Alright Mama the pattern is just A, D, and E. And again in Crying Waiting Hoping, they use the same pattern. Along with Long Tall Sally, Sure To Fall, Memphis Tennessee, Johnny B. Goode and well thats all I can think of off the top of my head. There's also another very familiar pattern that they used which was G, C and D. They used this mostly when covering Buddy Holly songs and Little Richard songs. I know if you dont play guitar, you're probably like "shut up, this is boring" but maybe your not. Whether you care or not is your business but i'd just like to share this interesting discovery. If you play that pattern on piano, it would be C, F and G. And on piano, it'd be called Twelve Bar Blues.

For No One

Your day breaks
your mind aches
you find that all her words of kindness
linger on
when she no longer needs you.
She wakes up
she makes up
she takes her time
and doesn't feel she has to hurry
she no longer needs you.
And in her eyes
you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years.
You want her
you need her
and yet you don't believe her
when she says
her love is dead
you think she needs you.
And in her eyes
you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years.
You stay home
she goes out
she says that long ago
she knew someone
but now he's gone
she doesn't need him.
Your day breaks
your mind aches
there will be times
when all the things she said
will fill you head
you wont forget her.
And in her eyes
you see nothing
no sign of love behind the tears
cried for no one
a love that should have lasted years.

SONG INFO
Name: For No One
Year: 1966
Album: Revolver
Lead Singer: Paul McCartney
Band: The Beatles

THOUGHT AND COMMENTS: I've always thought this song was romantic in a sad sort of way. Also, I remember when I first heard this song last summer and I thought a couple things-I thought of it taking place in maybe the 40's in England. It made me think of fall, leaves falling, wind blowing, the coldness of fall. I don't know if its just me but does this make anyone else think of fall??? And the thing I love about this song is, it was written in the third person (I think that's what its called) and its almost like the singer is looking down at these two people and singing about what he sees. Very mysterious in way...

Meet George Harrison

I pulled an all nighter a couple days ago and to pass the time I wrote these funny pieces on what the beatles truly thought. I did one for each beatle so here's George's. I'll post Paul's next, then John's, then Ringo's.

Oh...um...ello. I'm George. No need to add the Harrison, luv. After all, I hide behind Paul on stage. Gosh, why do I have to be so shy?! I'm not saying I think of myself as a overly attractive but I have had my fair share of lady friends if you know what I mean! My wife has a space in her teeth. That's what fascinates me most about her. Her space. Enough about her, my real girl is my Gretsch guitar! That smooth black body, those curves, that square shaped neck, those shiny silver strings...er...sorry, I'm rambling. But before I go, I'll give you my sexy killer stare. mwhaha.

If I Met Paul McCartney

 If I ever got the chance to meet Paul, I'd be thrilled. I don't know how that'd happen..maybe at a concert but here's what would happen...Fantasy = I'd pull a Joey Tribbani and be all like "Hey Paul. How you doin?". Act all smooth. Reality = I'd totally freak out and act like a 9 year old. What would you do if you ever met Paul? Or Ringo? Too bad George has passed cuz I'd really like to have met him too.

George Sings To The Side

While watching the music video to This Boy, today I noticed George sings to the side-what i mean by this is his mouth when he sings opens to the side and he flashes he wonderful yet crooked set of teeth. I've kinda noticed this before but I've never really payed much attention to it nor did i necessarily care but for some reason today it just fascinated me. Then I tried singing to the side myself. But no one needs to know that. tee hee. It looks kinda southern when he does that. Then again, who was his role model? Carl Perkins.

Paul Is A Master Of Disguise

 I have come to see that Paul is a master of disguise with his voice. He can make himself sound very sweet and soft or loud and southern. Now there are songs that display his many voices. He does have a original voice that you can hear in I Saw Her Standing There, All My Loving, Can't Buy Me Love and such songs. Then he has this very soft and sweet voice that you hear in Here There And Everywhere, And I Love Her, I Will and such songs. Then he has this scratchy and yell- type of voice that you hear in I'm Down, Long Tall Sally, the back up vocals of Please Mister Postman, the back up vocals of Money (Thats What I Want) and such songs. And then there's a loud and well...kind of old sounding and southern voice of his that you hear in Get Back, Let It Be, Don't Let Me Down, I've Got A Feeling and such songs. You'd most likely hear the last type in the older songs. So there's my talk on Paul's abilitly to disguise his voice. Also, I think John can do it aswell.
