702 – The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the devil (1968)

Escrita por Mick Jagger e Keith Richards, foi gravada entre 4 e 10 de junho de 1968 e lançada em 6 de dezembro de 1968 no disco Beggars Banquet. Na música, é o diabo em pessoa quem conta sua história. Em primeira pessoa, contando seu ponto de vista, contando as atrocidades da história da humanidade.

Trata-se de um samba rock. Um arranjo de rock e um ritmo de samba. É a música de número 32 da lista das 500 maiores canções de todos os tempos da revista Rolling Stone. A influencia foi de Baudelaire e de Bulgakov, no livro The Master and Margarita. Esse livro só chegou na Inglaterra traduzido em 1967 e foi dado a Jagger por Marianne Faithfull.

A letra fala do julgamento de Jesus, dizendo que ele ficou certo que Piltes lavou as mãos para selar o destino de jesus. Fala das guerras de religião na Euroa, dizendo que os reis e rainha lutaram por 40 anos por deuses que eles criaram. Fala da violência da revolução russa e o massacre da família Romanov. Fala da segunda guerra mundial, sobre a morte dos Kennedys.

Nicky Hopkins tocou piano, Rocky Dijon tocou congas, Bill Wyman tocou maracas, Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Keith Richard e Bill Wyman e o produtor Jimmy Miller fizeram os backing vocals. Keith Richards tocou baixo e guitarra solo na gravação. Mick Jagger cantou. Charlie Watts tambem tocou sino de vaca.

Foi regravada pelos Guns and Roses em 1994. Foi usada essa versão no filme entrevista com o vampiro. Slash diz que essa música é o som da banda se separando. O outro guitarista da banda Gilby Clarke disse que não foi chamado pra gravação da música e isso mostrou a ele que estava for a da jogada.

Foi regravada pelo Motörhead, entre outros artistas.

A letra:

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer

Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah

But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who

Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name

Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Oh, yeah

701 – The Beatles – While my guitar gently weeps (1968)

Escrita por George Harrison, foi gravada em 5 e 6 de setembro de 1968, e lançada no White Album. Foi baseada no I Ching e fez comentários sobre a desarmonia nos Beatles nesse tempo. A guitarra solo foi tocada por Eric Clapton.

É a canção de número 136 das 500 maiores canções de todos os tempos da revista Rolling Stone. Número 7 na lista das 100 maiores canções de guitarra de todos os tempos da mesma revista e décima na lista das cem maiores canções dos Beatles. Guitar world elegeu a melhor música de George nos Beatles.

George escreveu-a na casa de sua mae em Warrington. Fala do conceito oriental que tudo é como deve ser e não coincidencia como acreditam os ocidentais. George chamou Eric pra fazer o solo, mas Eric não queria,alegando que ninguém nunca havia tocado nos discos dos Beatles, mas foi convencido. George Harrison disse que a presença de Clapton trouxe uma atmosfera melhor pra banda, todos quiseram tocar melhor.

While my guitar gently weeps foi uma das únicas três músicas dos Beatles que Paul tocou um Fender Jazz Bass em vez dos seus clássicos Hofner ou Rickenbacker.

George Harrison tocou violão, orgao Hammond, fez backing vocals e vocais principais. John Lennon tocou guitarra eletrica com tremolo. Paul tocou baixo, piano e fez backing vocals. Ringo tocou bateria, pandeiro e castanets. Eric Clapton fez guitarra solo.

Foi regravada por Peter Frampton e Santana, entre outros artistas.

A letra:

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

Well...

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

700 – The Monkees – Shades of gray (1967)

Escrita por Barry Mann e Cynthia Weil em 1965, foi gravada pelos Monkees no album deles chmado Headquarters, o primeiro onde o grupo tocou os instrumentos na gravação. Os vocais principais foram feitos por Davy Jones e Peter Tork.

Foi regravada antes pelos Will-O-Bees em 1966, mas não obteve muito sucesso. Também foi regravada pelos Sons of Champlin na mesma época dos Monkees.

A letra:

When the world and I were young
Just yesterday
Life was such a simple game
A child could play
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray

I remember when the answers seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate
The foolish from the wise

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray

[Instrumental interlude]

It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray
Only shades of gray

699 – The Beatles – Within you, without you (1967)

Escrita por George Harrison, foi gravada 15 e 22 de março e 3 de abril de 1967, nos estúdios Abbey Road, em Londres. Foi lançada em 26 de maio de 1967 no disco Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Foi a segunda composição de Harrison em estilo indiano. A primeira foi Love you to. Foi inspirada nas seis semanas que ele passou na Índia com Ravi Shankar, seu mentor e professor de Cítara. Foi gravada sem nenhum outro Beatle. A instrumentação foi feita com instrumentos indianos como Cítara, Tabla e Dilruba. Foram tocados por Harrison e membros do Asian Music Circle.

Foi regravada pelo Oasis, Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, entre outros.

George começou a escrever Within you without you na casa do seu amigo, o músico e artista K;aus Voormann, num suburbio ao norte de Londres chamado Hampstead. A inspiração imediata veio do jantar, em que eles discutiam o espaço metafísico que prevenia os indivíduos de reconhecerem as forças naturais que unem o mundo. A frase inicial veio: “We were talking about the space between us all”...

Only a Northern Song, composição de George, foi descartada do disco e então ele compôs essa pra substituir. Ele já não estava com interesse em trabalhar com os Beatles. Para ele, que havia voltado da Índia, trabalhar de novo com os Beatles era um retrocesso. John Lennon assistiu a gravação, junto com Peter Blake e John Barham.

Stephen Stills gosta tanto dessa canção que tem a letra gravada num monumento no seu jardim. John Lennon também era fã da música. Foi regravada por Oasis, Cheap Trick, Patti Smith, entre outros artistas.

A letra:

We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you

A letra:

I looked to the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)

I walked through a field
That just wasn't real
Where 100 tin soldiers
Would shoot at my shoulder
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)

(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
Where music played ever so loudly)

I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
It stuck to my coat
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)

But you know she'll never ask you please again
Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
She won't take it from just any guy, what can you do
You see her walkin' on down the street
Look at all your friends she's gonna meet
You better hit her
There she goes again
She's knocked out on her feet again
She's down on her knees, my friend
But you know she'll never ask you please again
Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she would fly, what can you do
You see her walkin' on down the street
Look at all your friends that she's gonna meet
You better hit her
Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes
Like a bird, you know she will fly, fly, fly away
See her walking on down the street
Look at all your friends that she's gonna meet
She's gonna bawl and shout
She's gonna work it
She's gonna work it out, bye bye
Bye bye baby
All right

In the midnight moonlight I'll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone.
I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start.
You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.

Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy.
Here's comes my baby, here she comes now,
Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine,
Never could be mine, no matter how I try.

"Children, behave"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play"
They don't understand

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now

693 – Leonard Cohen – One of us cannot be wrong (1967)

Escrita por Leonard Cohen, foi gravada em outubro e novembro de 1967, nos estúdios da Columbia, em New York City e lançada em 27 de dezembro de 1967, no disco Songs of Leonard Cohen. Ele disse que a escreveu enquanto estava sob o efeito de anfetamina e perseguindo uma loira que ele havia visto num poster nazista.

A letra:

I lit a thin green candle, to make you jealous of me.
But the room just filled up with mosquitos,
they heard that my body was free.
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
and I put it in your little shoe.
And then I confess that I tortured the dress
that you wore for the world to look through.
I showed my heart to the doctor: he said I just have to quit.
Then he wrote himself a prescription,
and your name was mentioned in it!
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
with the details of our honeymoon,
and I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse
and his practice is all in a ruin.

I heard of a saint who had loved you,
so I studied all night in his school.
He taught that the duty of lovers
is to tarnish the golden rule.
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
he drowned himself in the pool.
His body is gone but back here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool.

An Eskimo showed me a movie
he'd recently taken of you:
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
his lips and his fingers were blue.
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
and I guess he just never got warm.
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice,
oh please let me come into the storm.

You will be able to hear what I say

Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no help

Don't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse anyway

Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please don't you call me at home
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite right

Please take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me

Don't want you part of my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

A letra:

Your multilingual business friend
has packed her bags and fled
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
and the lipsticked unmade bed
The mirror on reflection
has climbed back upon the wall
for the floor she found descended
and the ceiling was too tall
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
and your shoes are laced up wrong
you'd better take off your homburg
'cos your overcoat is too long
The town clock in the market square
stands waiting for the hour
when its hands they both turn backwards
and on meeting will devour
both themselves and also any fool
who dares to tell the time
And the sun and moon will shatter
and the signposts cease to sign

A letra:

John and Mitchie were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind;
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line.
In a coffee house Sebastian sat,
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.
Zallie said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."
Denny said, Zallie, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you."
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swathmore
But she changed her mind one day.
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,
"Take me to New York right away."
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps -
Don't you work as hard as you play.
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;
Guess it had to be that way.
Sebastian and Zal formed the 'Spoonful;
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,
And Mitchie wants to go to the sea.
Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it -
We knew she'd come eventually.
Greasin' on American Express cards;
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...

If you don't love me
Why don't you tell me
Instead of running around
With all the other guys in town
Can't you see
You're hurting me
Don't you care
Don't you care

If you don't want me
Why don't you tell me
Instead of telling lies
And making me cry
Can't you see
You're hurting me
Don't you care
Don't you care
Whatever happened
To all the good times we used to have
The times we cried and laughed
I want to know, I want to know
Will you ever love me again
Or will I find out that this is the end
Don't you care
My my my my baby
You said that you'd believe me
Then why'd you ever leave me
I'm standing here all alone
Without a girl of my own
Can't you see
You're hurting me
Don't you care
Don't you care

Don't you care
Don't you care
Don't you care
Don't you care
Don't you care
Don't you care

Hey, Carrie Anne

When we were at school, our games were simple
I played a janitor, you played a monitor
Then you played with older boys and prefects
What's the attraction in what they're doing?

Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?

You were always something special to me
Quite independent, never caring
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic disappearing?

Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?

You're so, so like a woman to me
(So like a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me
(Like a woman to me)

Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?

People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying

Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

687 – Leonard Cohen – Master Song (1967)

Escrita por Leonard Cohen, foi gravada em outubro e novembro de 1967, nos estúdios da Columbia, em New York City e lançada em 27 de dezembro de 1967, no disco Songs of Leonard Cohen.

Master song foi escrita num banco de pedra, que tem situado entre as ruas Guy e Burnside.

I believe that you heard your master sing
when I was sick in bed.
I suppose that he told you everything
that I keep locked away in my head.
Your master took you travelling,
well at least that's what you said.
And now do you come back to bring
your prisoner wine and bread?
You met him at some temple, where
they take your clothes at the door.
He was just a numberless man in a chair
who'd just come back from the war.
And you wrap up his tired face in your hair
and he hands you the apple core.
Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare
of all the kisses we put on some time before.

And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk
with a collar of leather and nails,
and he never once made you explain or talk
about all of the little details,
such as who had a word and who had a rock,
and who had you through the mails.
Now your love is a secret all over the block,
and it never stops not even when your master fails.

And he took you up in his aeroplane,
which he flew without any hands,
and you cruised above the ribbons of rain
that drove the crowd from the stands.
Then he killed the lights in a lonely Lane
and, an ape with angel glands,
erased the final wisps of pain
with the music of rubber bands.

And now I hear your master sing,
you kneel for him to come.
His body is a golden string
that your body is hanging from.
His body is a golden string,
my body has grown numb.
Oh now you hear your master sing,
your shirt is all undone.

And will you kneel beside this bed
that we polished so long ago,
before your master chose instead
to make my bed of snow?
Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red
and you're speaking far too low.
No I can't make out what your master said
before he made you go.

Then I think you're playing far too rough
for a lady who's been to the moon;
I've lain by this window long enough
to get used to an empty room.
And your love is some dust in an old man's cough
who is tapping his foot to a tune,
and your thighs are a ruin, you want too much,
let's say you came back some time too soon.

I loved your master perfectly
I taught him all that he knew.
He was starving in some deep mystery
like a man who is sure what is true.
And I sent you to him with my guarantee
I could teach him something new,
and I taught him how you would long for me
no matter what he said no matter what you'd do.

I believe that you heard your master sing
while I was sick in bed,
I'm sure that he told you everything
I must keep locked away in my head.
Your master took you travelling,
well at least that's what you said,
And now do you come back to bring
your prisoner wine and bread?

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feelin' good just holdin' you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you forever and ever"

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love
La la-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la la-la
La-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la
La la-la la-la

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you forever and ever"

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world, people just like us are falling in love
Yeah, they're falling in love
They're falling in love

A letra:

Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go

Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves

Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget

Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves

Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night

684 – Grateful Dead – (Walk me out in the) Morning dew (1967)

Escrita por Bonnie Dobson, foi lançado inicialmente por ela em 1962, mas a versão que escolhemos e a que ficou mais famosa, foi do Grateful Dead, de 1967.

A canção é um diálogo entre o último homem e a última mulher que ficaram vivos na terra após uma catástrofe apocaliptica. Foi escrita em 1961 enquanto Dobson estava em Lo Angeles na casa de uma amiga. Todos falavam sobre o dia seguinte da uma guerra nuclear e ela foi pra cama e escreveu essa canção. Ela nunca havia escrito nenhuma canção até aquele momento.

Fred Neil então gravou-a em 1964. Tim Rose gravou-a então em 1967. A nossa versão, do Grateful Dead, chegou ao número 17 na Irlanda. Lulu gravaria sua versão em 1967 também.

Foi regravada também por Jeff Beck, Duane and Greg Allman, Nazareth, Robert Plant, entre outros artistas.

A letra:

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I can't walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

I thought I heard a baby cry this morning,
I thought I heard a baby cry this today.
You didn't hear no baby cry this morning,
You didn't hear no baby cry today.

Where have all the people gone my honey,
Where have all the people gone today.
There's no need for you to be worrying about all those people,
You never see those people anyway.

I thought I heard a young man morn this morning,
I thought I heard a young man morn today.
I thought I heard a young man morn this morning,
I can't walk you out in the morning dew today.

Walk me out in the morning dew my honey,
Walk me out in the morning dew today.
I'll walk you out in the morning dew my honey,
I guess it doesn't really matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter anyway,
Guess it doesn't matter anyway.
