哪首歌對 Paul McCartney 保羅麥卡尼有特殊意義?
事實上,就在John
Lennon被謀殺幾週後,搖滾樂傳奇人物Carl
Perkins來到Paul
與Linda
位於Montserrat
蒙特塞拉特的家中拜訪他們。
Perkins為McCartney
創作並演唱了他新創作的 “My
Old Friend”《我的老朋友》,並解釋說這是邀請他作為客人的禮物。
……「如果我們再也見不到生命的這一面,過一會兒,在那邊,那裡有和平與安靜,我的老朋友,你不覺得嗎?時不時地關於我」......
McCartney 站起來,淚流滿面地離開了房間。
Perkins停止了演奏。Linda
擁抱了他。感謝他幫助Paul
度過悲傷。
John Lennon 對 Paul
McCartney說的最後一句話是”Think
about me now and then, old friend”……「時不時想想我,老朋友」……。
My Old Friend是Carl Perkins於 1981 年參與錄製Paul McCartney專輯《Tug Of War》時創作的歌曲。 Carl Perkins應保羅的邀請前往蒙特塞拉特,並在那裡錄製了專輯。 並參與了保羅的歌曲“Get It”。 他在那裡待了八天
Carl Perkins 出身Rockabilly歌手、作曲、吉他手,是搖滾樂早期開創性人物(1932-1998)。成名曲Blue Suede Shoes是滾石雜誌RS500#95的經典歌曲。

向Paul McCartney 和John Lennon的最好友誼致敬的MV。 關於披頭四網站上的這首歌:琳達·麥卡尼解釋說,上次Paul與John交談時,他對Paul說了同樣的話,「時不時地想想我,我的老朋友。」 ........ 他們永遠是最好的朋友和兄弟。
My Old Friend
On the Isle of Montserrat
No I never shall forget
Just a
country boy
A guitar and a song
You invited me in
And
you've treated me like king
And you've given me
A reason to
go on
My old friend
Thanks for inviting me in
My
old friend
May this goodbye
Never mean the end
If
we never meet again
This side of life
In a little
while
Over yonder
Where it's peace and quiet
My
old friend
Won't you think about me
Every now and then
You might also like
If
I told you how I feel
Oh, it wouldn't sound so real
'Cause
emotions
They are just now setting in
But it sure is
great to know
That wherever we may go
We can always be
The
best of friends
My old friend
Thanks for inviting me
in
My old friend
May this goodbye
Never mean the
end
And if we never meet again
This side of life
In
a little while
Over yonder
Where it's peace and
quiet
My old friend
Won't you think about me
Every now
and then
And
I'll think about you
My old friend
