Escrita
realmente pela dupla Lennon McCartney, onde Paul escreveu os versos e
John o refrão. Paul Canta os versos e eles cantam juntos o refrão.
Foi gravada em 17 de março de 1967 e lançada em primeiro de junho
de 1967 no famoso disco Sgt. Peppers, que completou cinquenta anos
ontem.
Nem George
Harrison e nem Ringo Starr participaram da gravação de She's
leaving home. O instrumental inteiro foi feito por uma pequena
orquestra de cordas arranjada por Mike Leander e é uma das poucas
músicas dos Beatles em que os membros não tocaram nenhum
instrumento na gravação. Mike Leader fez os arranjos pois George
Martin não estava disponivel. Foi a primeira vez que uma música dos
Beatles não foi arranjada por George Martin.
George
Martin ficou muito chateado, mas mesmo assim produziu a gravação e
conduziu a sessão de cordas. A harpa foi tocada por Sheula Bromberg,
a primeira mulher a aparecer numa gravação dos Beatles.
Paul conta
que ele e John escreveram juntos, mas que foi inspiração dele, após
ter visto no jornal a história de uma garota que fugiu de casa. O
nome da menina era Melanie Coe. Ela tinha 17 anos na época e fugiu
com o namorado.
Em abril de
1967. McCartmey visitou Brian Wilson em Los Angeles e tocou She's
leaving home pra ele e a esposa no piano. Ambos choraram de emoção.
Ned Rorem disse que She's leaving home é tão linda quanto qualquer
composição que Schubert fez.
Foi
regravada por Harry Nilsson, Richie Havens, Bryan Ferry, Bee Gees, Al
Jarreau, Billy Bragg, Carrie Underwood, Cheap Trick, entre outros.
A letra:
Wednesday
morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years (Bye bye)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?"
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years (Bye bye)
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
She (What did we do that was wrong)
Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years (Bye bye)
She's leaving home
Bye bye
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years (Bye bye)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?"
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years (Bye bye)
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
She (What did we do that was wrong)
Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years (Bye bye)
She's leaving home
Bye bye
