THE BEATLES / BRAD MEHLDAU : MARTHA MY DEAR

Το post πρωτοδημοσιεύθηκε προ τριετίας, στο πλαίσιο ενός αφιερώματος σε τραγούδια για σκύλους. Το επαναλαμβάνουμε σήμερα. Το κλασικό του Paul από το White Album και η συναρπαστική εξερεύνηση του Brad Mehldau από το Live in Marciac [2011].

The post was first published three years ago as part of a tribute to songs about dogs. We are repeating it today. Paul’s classic from the White Album and Brad Mehldau’s stunning exploration from Live in Marciac [2011].

00:00 Martha My Dear [Beatles] 2:21 Martha My Dear [Brad Mehldau]

Martha, my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please, remember me
Martha, my love
Don’t forget me
Martha, my dearHold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you’ve done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girlTake a good look around you
Take a good look you’re bound to see
That you and me were meant to be
With each other
Silly girlHold your hand out, you silly girl
See what you’ve done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girlMartha, my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please, be good to me
Martha, my love
Don’t forget me
Martha, my dear

    I’ve always loved this one.

      Me too. Always speaking about creative differences, this belongs to a series of McCartney’s songs which Lennon put down by the term “granny music”…

        I suppose the break up of the group was inevitable.

          Certainly. And certainly not because of Yoko!

    Love the original!
    Honestly, I barely recognized “Martha My Dear” in Brad’s piano rendition.
    Whatever, I loved it!!!!!!
