Help

Written by : John Lennon – Paul McCartney

Album : Help

(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’ve found I’ve changed my mind
I’ve opened up the doors

REFRAIN:

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate your being around
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

……me?
Help me! Help me – ooh -

Yesterday

Apakah The Beatles Selalu Dipuja?

Pada dasawarsa 60an, The Beatles mencapai masa jayanya…Mereka disambut bagaikan pahlawan dan diidolakan di mana-mana termasuk di Indonesia. Apakah mereka tidak pernah dibenci atau ditolak?

Ternyata The Beatles pun pernah dibenci dan dicaci maki oleh orang-orang. Hal itu diakibatkan adanya pernyataan John Lennon dalam sebuah wawancara, yang dinilai telah melecehkan Jesus dan orang Kristen. Pada 4 Maret 1966 wawancara John Lennon dengan Maureen Cleave diterbitkan oleh London Evening Standard. Isinya antara lain John mengatakan bahwa : “Kekristenan akan berakhir, menghilang dan tenggelam. Aku tidak perlu berdebat tentang hal itu karena aku benar dan akan kubuktikan hal itu. Kami lebih poluler dari Jesus saat ini”.

Akibat ucapan John Lennon tersebut, The Beatles dicekal di Amerika. Banyak stasiun radio yang tidak mau menayangkan lagu-lagu The Beatles padahal The Beatles akan melakukan konser di Amerika saat itu. Tentu saja hal itu tidak menguntungkan bagi The Beatles. Untuk menyelesaikan persoalan ini diadakanlah konferensi pers pada tanggal 11 Agustus 1966. Inilah isi kutipan perkataan John Lennon pada konferensi pers tersebut:

John: "If I had said television is more popular than Jesus, I might have got away with it, but I just happened to be talking to a friend and I used the words "Beatles" as a remote thing, not as what I think - as Beatles, as those other Beatles like other people see us. I just said "they" are having more influence on kids and things than anything else, including Jesus. But I said it in that way which is the wrong way." "Well, originally I pointed out that fact in reference to England. That we meant more to kids than Jesus did, or religion at that time. I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this."

Akhirnya masalah itu bisa terselesaikan, setelah Pers Amerika menganggap John sudah melakukan permintaan maaf kepada publik Amerika, dan konser the Beatles pun bisa berlangsung kembali, walaupun merupakan konser terakhir The Beatles yang pernah ada.

Yesterday

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.

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.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And I Love Her

I give her all my love

That’s all I do

And if you saw my love

You’d love her too

I love her

She gives me everything

The kiss my lover brings

She brings to me

And I love her.

The Beatles

The Beatles berdiri pada tahun 1959 dengan formasi awal John Lennon, Paul McCartney dan George Harrison. Pada tahun 1962, Ringo Starr bergabung dengan The Beatles. Pada awalnya mereka berkiblat pada Chuck Berry dan Elvis Presley yang sedang berada di puncak kesuksesan mereka dengan jenis musik Rock ‘n Roll.

Lama kelamaan merka mulai menciptakan musik mereka sendiri dengan gaya tersendiri. Pada tahun 1960an, The Beatles mampu menjadikan diri mereka menjadi trend setter perkembangan musik dunia. The Beatles sangat digandrungi oleh generasi muda saat itu, termasuk cara mereka berpakaian, model rambut mereka dan gaya hidup mereka.

Kebanyakan lagu The Beatles ditulis oleh John Lennon dan Paul McCartney. Lirik lagu The Beatles yang sederhana, indah dan mudah diingat membuat lagu-lagu mereka mudah dinyanyikan dan digemari di seluruh belahan dunia. Love Me Do merupakan single pertama The Beatles yang mampu menembus peringkat pertama pada tangga lagu British Charts.

Meskipun The Beatles bubar pada tahun 1970, mereka masih tetap memiliki penggemar fanatik sampai saat ini. Banyak lagu The Beatles yang masih akrab di telinga anak muda masa kini. The Beatles adalah fenomena terbesar grup band abad 20 yang rasanya tak ada seorangpun yang dapat menyangkalnya.
