CLÁSSICOS PARA A VIDA ETERNA - ESPECIAL

REVOLUTION (1968) THE BEATLES

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

"Você diz que quer uma revolução

 Bem, você sabe

 Todos nós queremos mudar o mundo"

50 anos de Beatles merece um clássico fora de hora. "Please please me", lançado em 22 de março de 1963, foi gravado em apenas um dia (11 de fevereiro), ponto de partida para a revolução do mundo inspirada na rebeldia de John, no romantismo de Paul, no misticismo de George e no humor de Ringo, marcas da enlouquecida juventude dos anos 60. E para comemorar o cinquentenário da maior banda da história, eis um vídeo raro de quando o grupo já havia deixado os palcos e se retirado no claustro da Abbey Road, para então ser ouvido forever and ever, and ever...

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
----
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
----
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
----
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right
----
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
----
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're all doing what we can
----
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
----
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right
----
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We'd all love to change your head
----
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead
----
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
----
Don't you know it's gonna be
All right...
