A Hard Day's Night
前一个周五下班,累得可以,翻起一本Fake Book,便翻到Beatles的
一曲A Hard Day's Night。那可是一首好歌,我拿起吉他来唱,
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog,
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log......
孩子听了,也喜欢得不得了。有一个,平时不喜欢小学老师教的歌的,
Beatles的歌一下就入迷,也放开口唱起来。这让我想起大学时废寝忘
食地听Beatles,那时能领会的多是青春朝气,爱情,而这hard day's
night也只有最近才有深深体会。金融危机,搞得好好的公司上下折腾
,瞎折腾,也都是折腾人,上下都病态得可以。
问题是,半夜还未必能sleeping like a log...,有电话啊!
苹果公司这几年出了两个Beatles的新合辑,一盒“1”,一盒“LOVE”
,都是上好的选辑。
Beatles是英国利物浦走出来的一个摇滚乐队,Beatles这名称还不好
译,有译甲壳虫的,倒得其形,有译披头士(四),更是离奇。按列侬
解其原意,是Beat,有无穷动的意味。
A Hard Day's Night -- Words and Music by
JOHN LENNON AND PAUL McCARTNEY
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight,tight,yeah
A Hard Day's Night是一首歌,也是Beatles早期的一盘专辑,还有部
同名电影。上面就是电影中的片断。

When my daughter was still a baby, I used to sing Beatles’ “Let it be” to her a lot. I changed the lyrics as the occasion suits, like this:
When you have a full diaper, and
Mother is stuck in traffic jam
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
It had a better success rate of calming myself down than calming her down.
One day when she was playing with her alphabet magnets, she asked me why letter B is so special. I said: “what do you mean?” She said: “Why ‘Letter B’ has its special song but other letters don’t?”

Beatles的好歌多得很啊。今天看到BBC这条新闻,与我心有戚戚。
本来想谈谈Help专辑(电影)的,还是先转这条新闻再说:
====
英大学首推“甲壳虫”学位(BBC)
甲壳虫乐队影响力深远
世上的学科有千百种,学位更是不计其数。但你可曾听说过甲壳虫乐队(Beatles)硕士学位?
利物浦赫普大学(Liverpool Hope University)近日宣布,该校将成为全英乃至全球首个推出“甲壳虫乐队、流行音乐和社会硕士学位”(MA in The Beatles, Popular Music and Society)的大学。
上世纪60年代四人组合“甲壳虫乐队”在英国城市利物浦一炮打响,其经典曲目包括“我想握住你的手” ( I Want To Hold Your Hand)和“车票”(Ticket to Ride)等。
针对甲壳虫乐队而开设的这门硕士课程由四部分组成,每部分的学习为期12周。学生既可以选择读全职,也可以选择读兼职课程。
必要性
利物浦赫普大学该课程的负责人迈克·布洛肯(Mike Brocken)说:“有关于甲壳虫乐队的书籍就有8,000多册,但有关这一乐队的正规学术研究却一直没有开展,这就是我们开设这一课程的目的。”
“甲壳虫乐队对我们的社会有着巨大的影响,除了他们的音乐之外,他们穿着的无领夹克衫和带有迷幻风格的服饰,也影响了一代人。”
“他们当年用黑白胶片拍摄的电影,可以说是当今音乐电视的鼻祖。”
“四十年过去了,现在是时候对甲壳虫乐队进行系统学习了,而利物浦也是开展这项研究的最佳地点。”
脱颖而出
布洛肯教授表示,甲壳虫乐队硕士课程的招生情况要视具体申请人数而定,但估计最多不会超过30人。
他说,他已经收到了来自美国和英国申请者的询问,但学校不会向申请者提供财政支持。
在谈到读硕士学位对于帮助人们熬过眼下的经济危机是否有帮助时,布洛肯教授说,研究生学习能让人们掌握更多的学习和研究技巧,研究生学历更能让你从人堆里脱颖而出。

从年轻时代起就非常喜欢的乐队。
喜欢的歌“imagine”"women"...... - Re: 我喜欢的Beatlesposted on 03/06/2009
小曼说的这两首,是列侬后来的。严格说不属于Beatles,Beatles
七零年就散伙了。不过,天下没有不散的宴席,还是苏姗说的那首:
Letter B,是Paul作的,那也是Beatles的终曲,还有一部电影。
电影可精彩啦。最后是他们在屋顶公演,那场景!

Help!
昨晚在图书馆Hold的Help!DVD到了,我个人不很喜欢这部电影,关
健是给孩子们看,孩子们喜欢。这也正应了苹果公司预见的,新生代
的孩子必然会喜欢Beatles。当然,里面的歌还都不错。
至少有两部上好的经典,一部是同名曲,另一部Yesterday。Help!
是列侬作的,有他真实的心声(有点吃饱了撑,闲愁)。多年后他回忆
起Beatles的歌中,这还是他最爱,因为,它是的真。。。由此可见
,Beatles歌未必真,说实在话,就是Catullus的情诗未必都真。
但“真”有种魅力,能穿透个人的小我的能力,得透着情,情就是装
饰了,装饰就是修辞。艺术不能不讲修辞!
Help! sounded like another jolly Beatles' song, but was really a plea
from the heart. John was overweight, lonely and insecure and
waiting to be rescued.
John's only regret was that, for commerical reaons, they had
changed it from a slow Dylanesque number into a jolly Beatles'
tune.
Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone
Help!
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
....
今天早晨上班的路上我就听Help!专辑,我很喜欢这CD盒面的设计,
记得大学时听过这一盒磁带,那四位披头士穿着膨大的蓝装,原来是
滑雪。他们身体(手)的动作,是哑语的Help!

谢谢两位顶贴。咱这是不是有点借Beatles的歌煽情?
不好意思哟。累了听Beatles,确实是一种休息,最近一直劳驾他们

Yesterday
这歌太有名,怎么说都是俗套,但不说也绕不过去。我想个法子说说
看,就说说咱听Beatles的过去吧。
在国内能弄到的音响资料极其有限(多是国外亲属,或出国人员带的
,台湾、港澳同胞也先一步),好在电台里可以录些,费时费力,也
没法收集全。再加上英语半懂不懂,信息不通,比如列侬死了还是很
晚才听说,那时手头只一盒磁带,“甲壳虫,震撼全球之乐队”,估
计是日本窃版的,因为歌词题目中有日语片假名,歌词不全,里面的
歌都属于Jolly Beatles,具体说来,是Beatles早先几个专辑选,A
面第一首就是Yesterday。
我把Beatles早先几个CD专辑列一下名:
62. Please please me
63.With the Beatles
64. A Hard day's night
64. Beatles for Sale
65. Help!
磁带里面选的也都是Jolly Beatles的精品。现在对我来说也成了过去
。但在这里列一下歌名,至于从何专辑,可参考The Beatles:
http://www.thebeatles.com/core/music/
A面,Yesterday, Eight Days a Week, I Feel fine, From me to you,
Help!, You've got to hide your love away, We can Work it out,
Day Tripper, Drive My Car.
B面,Love me do, Please please me, Ticket to ride, She Loves you,
I want to hold your hand, All my Loving, Can't buy me love, A Hard
day's night, And I love her.
Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay, Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me, Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she - Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said, Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away, Oh, I believe in yesterday.
......
说是Paul在梦中得其完整的旋律,自己都不敢相信是否别人的。歌词
是很久以后才填的,中间歌名还有些曲折,自然拍Help!电影时就没
被用上,但打出来以后还是放在CD的Help!专辑。
出国后这盘磁带一直带着,现在还在我案前。当然,我收集的资料就
多了。暂不多言专辑,只提一本歌谱,相当好的:
The Beatles Fake Book, 200 Songs Recorded by the Beatles
http://www.amazon.com/Beatles-Fake-Book-C-Books/dp/0881887579/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236403305&sr=8-1
以前说对总谱听歌剧,其实对歌谱听歌,听Beatles那融汇才深。
朱小佬说的唱(歌谱都有吉他和弦标注),自然更好。但不是每首歌
都能唱(Beatles后期重制不演),有些水平太高,有些要合,要管
弦乐队,要特别的声音,特别的韵味,特别的效果(迷幻),,,这
样,赏听起来岂不是更妙?

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite
今天去看玲玲马戏团演出,精彩得很,又是马,又是象,许多象,还
有还有斑马,狗,许多老虎,有一只白老虎。虎被马戏人驯得直立起
舞,人确实了不起!这是头一回见识玲玲,比大苹果强多了。
前两天www.thebeatles.com还看到太阳马戏团(Cirque du Soleil)
的广告:Cirque Du Soleil The Beatles Love......
估计把Beatles的歌得损了些,象上回迪伦的百老汇。不过,Beatles
还真有马戏的歌,很够英国味,Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite
从名称、歌词到唱腔配乐都很够味,绝对是Beatles的精品。
Lennon wrote the song taking inspiration from a nineteenth
century circus poster for Pablo Fanque's circus which he
purchased in an antique shop on 31 January 1967 while filming
the promotional video for the song "Strawberry Fields Forever"
in Kent. Mr. Kite is believed to be William Kite, who worked
for Pablo Fanque from 1843 to 1845.
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring don't be late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground
'ving been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.
这首歌是Sgt. Pepper专辑中三首被禁的歌之一,因Henry the Horse
有heroin之俚。当然,被列侬否定。
同专辑中的一首,A Day in the Life,也是被禁,倒是很麻醉。当然,
自Rubber Soul之后,Beatles就找到自救之路了,LSD。不再是Help!
与Yesterday中表现出的脆弱。以后还有印度大师,Meditation,再
以后,列侬走得更远。。。他们创作的质量、数量真是惊人。
我很在意他们每一首歌的创作历程,除了心齐,高而严的审美趣味,广
纳题材,吸取前人,朋友相助,LSD。虐恋有没有我就不知道了。但
他们确实有一首叫Sexy Sadie的歌。
这是引起列侬创作灵感的那张旧广告照片:
The poster upon which the song is based. By 1980, He told
Playboy interviewer David Sheff about the song:
"it's so cosmically beautiful... the song is pure, like a painting,
a pure watercolour."

OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA
今天是妇女节。想到小曼说的Woman,深沉了些,又是列侬自己的歌,
不合放在这一线下面。Beatles唱Love/Girl的歌数不清,甚至有一回
别人问他们,能不能写一首别的题材的?
当然Jolly Beatles会显单薄些。Woman题材的不是没有,Lovely Rita
,Lady Madonna,Eleanor Rigby,She 's A Woman等都是好歌。
但于节日气氛的,我还是选这一首,OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA。
看看Beatles驾驶不同题材的能力!
Paul first heard the words "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da" uttered by Nigerian
conga player Jimmy Scott, whom he met at the Bag o' Nails club
in Soho, London. -- "He was from the Yorube tribe and if you find
someone from the Yoruba they will tell you that 'Ob-la-di Ob-la-da'
means 'Life goes on'."
Ob-al-di-bla-da has been cited as the first white reggae.
Desmond has his barrow in the market place...
Molly is the singer in a band...
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store...
Buys a twenty carat golden ring... (Golden ring)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing... (Sing)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones... (Ha ha ha ha ha)
Happy ever after in the market place...
Desmond lets the children lend a hand...
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face...
And in the evening she still sings it with the band...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.
这首歌是Beatles的The White Album中的,有点返朴归真。White
Album(The Beatles)是一个高水平专辑,佳作纷呈。。。因此,有人
评论Beatles是继舒伯特以后第二能写歌的人。
再说一桩逸事吧。Beatles早先也曾在德国打造,架子鼓上一直这么
写着:Ludwig the Beatles,迷信贝多芬?后来有人问列侬,他说他
喜欢贝多芬,问Ringo,他也喜欢,还说最喜欢贝多芬的诗。
我找了半天贝多芬的诗,除了致永恒的爱人的情书(信),真还没找到
什么诗。贝多芬的Lied两盘我都有,里面多是歌德,还有卢梭的诗。
Ludwig这里是鼓商标的名字,巧合往往就巧在这里。

Good Night
今天夏时制倒得头晕晕,再加上阴雨天,很想午餐后打个盹。本来昨
晚想贴一下Mother Nature's Son,外加上一首Good Night,Beatles
的催眠曲,却因咖啡里超严肃的品求而生退。直到午夜,孩子在床上
唱Beatles,还没睡。看来我早该贴的,补一下,催自个盹。
"Good Night" is the final song by The Beatles on their self-titled album
(aka The White Album). It is sung by Ringo Starr, the only Beatle to
appear on the song. The music is provided by an orchestra arranged
and conducted by George Martin. John Lennon originally wrote the
song as a lullaby for his son Julian when he was five years old.
Now it's time to say good night
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Good night Good night Everybody
Everybody everywhere
Good night.
列侬写给儿子小于连,我也借花给咖啡里童子们。
昨晚到今晨都在听Beatles的Live at the BBC,我买的是磁带,已有
很长一段时间了。偶尔在车里听听,都没有什么仔细,直至现在重起
兴致,找安静的一片时,把歌对谱,核对摇滚史,共六十九首歌。
我书上是这么写这个专辑的:
In 1982 Kevin Howlett looked through the BBC's archives of radio
sessions whith the Beatles and produced a programme called
'Beatles at the Beeb'. It was the first time that most of this material
had been heard since the original broadcasts between 1962 and 1965
...it wasn't until 1994 that the right climate prevailed between the
Beatles, Apple and EMI which enabled the project to be realized.
里面显示了John和Paul学歌历程--演奏并模仿青春偶象的单曲,并
不时杂入自己写的歌,直到最后都是自己写的歌了。这过程与贝多芬
早年模仿莫扎特很相似。
'Live at the BBC' illustrates this growth. Of the songs they cover, 76
percent were from 1954-59, the period when they were serving their
apprenticeship in Liverpool. Almost half the cover songs were written
by a handful of writers whom they particularly revered --
Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Cal Perkins, Goffin and King and Leiber
and Stoller.

Rocky Raccoon
Beatles的这一首歌最有迪伦的风味,前面的白,还有口琴。中间似
弱了些,但后面有很好的的幅歌,真是高级的很!
The song was primarily written by Paul McCartney, who was
inspired while playing guitar for John Lennon and Donovan Leitch
in India (where the Beatles had gone on a retreat).
The song, titled from the character's name, was originally "Rocky
Sassoon", but McCartney changed it to Rocky Raccoon because he
thought "it sounded more like a cowboy." The song is about a
man (Rocky) who tries to shoot the man who stole his lover, but is
wounded by the rival instead. The Old West-style honky-tonk piano
was played by producer George Martin. It is speculated that it is
a parody of Bob Dylan's ballad-filled album John Wesley Harding
(the raspy enunciation in the intro, the harmonica playing and the
faux-moralism).
(Saying...)
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.
(Sing...)
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
A Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival.
前面说他们向前人学,其实他们也横向学,那一个摇滚风云的时代互
相借鉴,只要是聪明的人,都一学即会,还会做得更好,相互比试着
。当然官司也不少,比如ob-la-di, ob-la-da,其实这在艺术,尤其
是音乐戏剧领域是种风气,说英国萨士比亚时代就很风云。大师,往
往是最能借鉴,最能学习的。

Here comes the Sun
一昼夜蒙蒙细雨,天气终于放晴。昨晚想好了今天早晨贴一首威猛些
的,比如Yer Blues,清晨一路车上听Abbey Road,迎着初春的阳光,
还是Here comes the Sun最动听,歌声中透出舒畅的情怀,抑或是
无尽的安慰......
这首歌是George Harrison的,George Harrison的歌都有点寻找阳光
,自然雨露的感觉,不时会有印度大神的影。
Harrison stated in The Beatles Anthology:
"Here Comes the Sun" was written at the time when Apple was
getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen:
'Sign this' and 'sign that'. Anyway, it seems as if winter in England
goes on forever, by the time spring comes you really deserve it.
So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went
over to Eric Clapton's house. The relief of not having to go see
all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around
the garden with one of Eric's acoustic guitars and wrote
"Here Comes The Sun".
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
George Harrison后来到印度修行,深得印度教三味。写不出少意味
深长的曲子,比如Within You without You,Something和While My
Guitar Gently Weeps等。乔治是Beatles里的lead guitarist,还是
Sitar的好手。但作为沉默的声音,可见其修养不错,一个摇滚梯队
,几个年轻牛人,哪里容易?

Norwegian Wood
前面几首歌怕一般不熟悉。我还是回到Beatles的三大专辑:Rubber
Soul,Revolver,Sgt. Pepper...。这三盘当然有别于早先出的五盘,
尤其是Sgt. Pepper...,简直是每一曲都是精品。但这三盘有个问题
,就是致幻。一般人认为摇滚歌曲Haunting就是最高的境界,我倒不
这么看,我以为音乐最好的还是“和”,一唱成忆。
比如Rubber Soul中的这一首Norwegian Wood,词曲都好。
The song was primarily written by John Lennon, though Paul
contributed to the middle eight section. It is notable as the first
example of a rock band actually playing the sitar in one of their
songs; it was played by George Harrison.
I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biting my time, drinking her wine,
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed"
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood.
这首歌来源于列侬的一次外遇,但结局就如歌中所唱。Norwegian
Wood应是一种简单小Wood-Cabin,不象有人译的“挪威森林”,
“森林”应该是Woods。
然而,这冷异怪无奈的调子,有人说北欧,格里格,或格林卡,或
老柴的交响主题。却是来源于印度音乐。歌中的Sitar的声音,透出
异样的情趣。
这词,这曲,这标题,都有无尽的诗意,一唱成忆,童叟无欺:)
