With a little help from friends por Joe Cocker.

Una canción original de The Beatles, compuesta en 1967, e interpretada en esta ocasión por Joe Cocker durante Woodstock 1969.

Versión que tiene el “encanto” de la voz de Cocker y a la vez de ser en vivo, llevando a la canción un poco más allá de lo que la llevaron los The Beatles en cuanto salirse del ritmo original de la canción.

En lo que a mi respecta, me gusta la improvisación de Cocker, y aquí puedo culpar a mi gusto por las versiones en vivo, sin embargo, sigo prefiriendo la versión original de The Beatles.

Por supuesto no puedo dejar de recomendarles la versión de Jim Sturgges, soundtrack de la película Across the universe de la que ya he publicado anteriormente.

Letra de With a little help from friends

What would you think 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,
Mmm,I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I’m 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.

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,
Mmm, get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, gonna to 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,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, I’m 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,
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Ooh, I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends
