Rubber Soul















6. Rubber Soul
Я думаю, "Rubber Soul" стал первым в ряду альбомов, показавших миру новых "Битлз", - вспоминает Джордж Мартин, хорошо знавший ситуацию. - До того времени мы записывали диски, которые скорее были собранием синглов. Затем мы начали рассматривать альбомы как самостоятельное и самоценное произведение искусства. И "Rubber Soul" явился первым альбомом, созданным в соответствии с этой концепцией". Джон Леннон подтверждает эту мысль следующим высказыванием: "Мы выросли в техническом и музыкальном плане - и только. Мы наконец-то освоились в студии. В случае "Rubber Soul" мы более тщательно подготовились к созданию альбома, мы отвечали за обложку и за все остальное. Название придумал Пол - это всего лишь каламбур. За всем этим не стоит искать глубокий и таинственный смысл, просто четверо ребят наконец-то задумались над тем, как назвать новый альбом". Среди поклонников, музыкантов и критиков по этому поводу нет особых разногласий. Если "Sgt. Pepper" был просто причудой "Битлз", а пластинкой "Revolver" они отметили свое освобождение от наркотиков, то "Rubber Soul" явился диском, где музыканты продемонстрировали "новое мышление" - не только в плане музыки или текста, но и в плане духовном. Если "Beatles For Sale" стала вершиной британского бита, a "Help!" - своего рода закреплением наработанного материала, то альбом "Rubber Soul" явился шагом в будущее. Важно помнить, что "Битлз" не были пионерами в поиске новых творческих путей. К тому времени, как группа начала работу над "Rubber Soul", Боб Дилан уже успел записать и выпустить пластинки "Bringing It All Back Home" и "Highway 61 Revisited"". Но "Битлз" первыми смогли вместить дилановскую свободную игру слов в жесткие рамки трехминутной поп-композиции. За несколько недель до того, как группа "Беде" открыла радости пребывания "на восьмимильной высоте" ("Eight Miles High"), ливерпульцы объявили, что "ключевое слово - это любовь" ("The word is love"). Важно здесь и другое: в отличие от "Pepper" или "The White Album", "Rubber Soul" не был тщательно продуманной студийной работой. Как и в предыдущую осень, "Битлз" оказались в ловушке практически невыполнимого графика. Приехав в студию "Эбби Роуд" 12 октября, музыканты уже знали, что их следующие сингл и альбом должны быть готовы в начале декабря. Группа едва успела уложиться в заданные сроки - последние композиции были сочинены и записаны лишь в середине ноября. Через 18 дней после микширования альбома его копии уже лежали на прилавках магазинов. Несмотря на новый творческий подход к записи пластинки, одно не изменилось - "Битлз" хотели быть услышанными в моно-, а не стереозаписи. Чтобы этот альбом, а также "Help!" были приемлемы для современных любителей музыки со сложной аппаратурой, Джордж Мартин подготовил соответствующий стереоремикс для CD-формата.

Drive My Car

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "baby can't you see?"
I wanna be famous, star of the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby you can drive my car
Yes. I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you

I told that girl that my prospects were good
And she said baby, it's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
Baby you can drive my car
Yes. I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you
Baby you can drive my car
Yes. I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you

I told that girl I could start right away
And she said "listen to me, I've got something to say"
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start
Baby you can drive my car
Yes. I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car and maybe I'll love you

Beep beep
Beep beep yeh
Beep beep yeh

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

I once had a girl or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room isn't it good
Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair

I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
It's time for bed
She told me she worked in the morning
And started to laugh
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire isn't it good
Norwegian wood?

You Won't See Me

When I call you up your line's engaged,
I have had enough so act you age
We have lost the time that was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If You won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

I don't know why you should want to hide,
But I can't get through my hands are tied,
I won't want to stay I don't have much to say
But I can turn away
And You won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You don't see me)
Time after time you refuse to even listen
I wouldn't mind if I knew what I was missing
(No I wouldn't no I wouldn't)

Though the days are few they're filled with tears,
And since I lost you it feels like years,
Yes it seems so long girl since you've been gone
I just can't go on
If You won't see me (You won't see me)
You won't see me (You won't see me)

Nowhere Man

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere man
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man the world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man can you see me at all?

Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man the world is at your command

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere man
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Think For Yourself

I've got a word or two
to say about the things that you do
You're telling all those lies
about the good things that we can have if we close your eyes
Do what you want to do, and go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cause I won't be there with you
I left you far behind
the ruins of the life that you had in mind
And though you still can't see
I know your mind's made up, you're gonna cause more misery
Do what you want to do, and go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cause I won't be there with you

Although your mind's opaque,
Try thinking more if just your own sake
The future still looks good
and you've got time to rectify all the things that you should
Do what you want to do, and go where you're going to
Think for yourself 'cause I won't be there with you
Think for yourself 'cause I won't be there with you

The Word

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love

In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it the word is good
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love

Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love

Now that I know what I feel must be right
I mean to show everybody the light

Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine it's sunshine
It's the word love

Say the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love

Michelle

Michelle ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find away
I will say the only words I know that you understand

Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I need you, I need you, I need you
I need to make you see
Oh what you mean to me
Until I do, I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

And I will say the only words
I know you'll understand
My Michelle

What Goes On

What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me a part
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.

The other day I saw you as I walked along the road,
But when I saw him with you I could feel my future fold,
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me a part
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.

I met you in the morning waiting for the tides of time,
But now the tide is turning I can see that I was blind,
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart,
I used to think of no one else
But you were just the same,
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name,
Did you mean to break my heart
And watch me die,
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me a part
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
In your mind, in your mind.

Girl

Is there anybody going to listen to my story,
All about the girl who came to stay,
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry,
Still you don't regret a single day.
Ah, Girl, (oothss) Girl, Girl.

When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her,
She will turn to me and start to cry,
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her,
After all this time I don't know why.
Ah, Girl, (oothss) Girl, Girl.

She's the kind of girl who puts you down,
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
(Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu)
When you say she's looking good,
She acts as if it's understood,
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Girl, (oothss) Girl, Girl.

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure,
Did she understand it when they said,
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure,
Will she still believe it when he's dead.
Ah, Girl, (oothss) Girl, Girl.
Ah, Girl, (oothss) .....

I'm Looking Through You

I'm looking through you Where did you go
I thought I knew you What did I know
You don't look different But you have changed
I'm looking through you You're not the same

You're lips are moving I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing But the words aren't clear
You don't sound different I've learnt the game
I'm looking through you You're not the same

Why tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing over night
You're thinking of me The same old way
You were above me But not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you And you're nowhere

Why tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing over night
I'm looking through you Where did you go
I thought I knew you What did I know
You don't look different But you have changed
I'm looking through you You're not the same

Yeah, I tell you you've changed
I'm looking through you...

In My Life

There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone, and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you,
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more

Wait

It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home,
I've been away now,
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried.

But if your heart breaks,
Don't wait turn me away;
And if your heart's strong,
Hold on I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried.

I feel as though you ought to know
that I've been good as good as I can be.
And if you do.
I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me.
It's been a long time,
Now I'm coming back home,
I've been away now,
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried.

I feel as though you ought to know
that I've been good as good as I can be.
And if you do.
I'll trust in you
And know that you will wait for me.
But if your heart breaks,
Don't wait turn me away;
And if your heart's strong,
Hold on I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we cried.

It's been a long time,
Now I'm coming back home,
I've been away now,
Oh how I've been alone.

If I Needed Someone

If I needed someone to love,
you're the one that I'd be thinking of,
If I needed someone, if I had some more time to spend,
Then I guess I'd be with you my friend, if I needed someone.
Had you come some other day,
then it might not have been like this,
But you see now I'm too much in love.
Carve your number on my wall
and maybe you will get a call from me,
If I needed someone, Ah.... Ah..... Ah..... Ah....

Had you come some other day,
then it might not have been like this,

Run For Your Life

I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl, or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl

Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
and I was born with a jealous mind.
And I can't spend my whole life trying' just to make you toe the line.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl

Let this be a sermon, I mean everything I said.
Baby, I'm determined and I'd rather see you dead.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl

I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl, or I won't know where I am.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl
