Does it worry you to be alone?

Siguiendo con el ciclo de versiones que llenan, hoy toca With A Little Help From My Friends, la canción es original de los Beatles, escrita por Lennon y McCartney para ser cantada por Starr, en el disco 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Pero de quien hablamos en esta entrada es de Joe Cocker, de su personal y famosa versión, a la que redujo a un tempo más blusero y añadió un inicio instrumental contando con líneas de guitarra de Jimmy Page (guitarrista de Led Zeppelin, que participó en cinco canciones del disco de debut de Joe Cocker). Según leo, es una de las pocas versiones que les gustan a los Beatles.

La grabación es de Woodstock del '69.



What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.



Me encantan las guitarras del principio y el sentimiento que le pone Cocker. Genial canción!
