FREE AS A BIRD - John Lennon
John Lennon 1977年個人原創作品, 從未錄製成唱片, 直至1995年 Paul McCartney 要籌備製作 The Beatles Anthology 的特輯時,
他向 John Lennon 的妻子 Yoko Ono 查詢有没有一些 John 生前未曾公開面世的作品時, 由 Ono 手中交出的錄音帶, 其中有 Real Love
及 Free As A Bird 两首作品, 此曲後來配上由 Paul, George 與 Ringo 的後期音樂録製而成, 1997年蠃得 Grammy Award for Best Pop
Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, 同是 The Beatles 的第34張入美國十大細碟榜之一, 即由60,70,80,90 年代亦有入十大之列,
是 The Beatles 拆伙後25年的纪念作品!
曲中盡顯 John Lennon 對 The Beatles 分裂的感受, 感嘆此後樂迷的何去何從?
各員日後要面對的與及我們能否獨自生存? 而倍感悲傷 !
FREE AS A BIRD - Paul, George, Ringo & John Lennon - 1995
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird
Like the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free
Ah...
Ah...
Ah...
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
Free as a bird
FREE AS A BIRD - John Lennon - Original Version Take 1
Originally recorded by John Lennon 1977 on his own, the other Beatles re-recorded this song in the 95,
releasing it as part of their Beatles Anthology. Light on the lyrics and heavy on the melody, the song speaks
on the subject of the band’s break-up, asking the questions every Beatles fan was left with after the separation,
“Whatever happened to the life that we once knew? Can we really live without each other?”.
