遊びをせんとや生まれけむ

あらゆる芸術の士は人の世を長閑(のどか)にし、人の心を豊かにするが故に尊とい。夏目漱石

アナザー・デイ/ポール・マッカートニー

 
来年には70歳になるポール・マッカートニーが3度目の結婚。
お相手は51歳の女性実業家で、年齢差18歳で、そんなに違和感はない。
ジョン・レノンの誕生日(生誕71歳)の10月9日に結婚式を挙げたという。

私の18歳下は40歳、違和感ない、がんばろう(何を?)。

今日の「ぼくのうた」は、ポールのソロデビュー曲「アナザー・デイ」。
この曲が入った「RAM」というアルバムは持っていなくて、
iTunesで購入してCDに焼きなおして、よく聴いて楽しんでいる。
 
また別の日がやってきた、来る日も来る日も同じことの繰り返し、と
退屈で寂しい女性を歌った曲ながら、ポールらしい軽快なさらっとした歌唱。

ポールは「アナザー・デイ」とは無縁な日々を暮らしていただろうが、
おめでたいことである、けっこうなことである、長生きしてもらいたい。
 
Another Day
Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath
She Wets Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel Around Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.
Ah, It's Just Another Day.
At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break,
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake,
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.
Ay
So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.
Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Around
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
As She Posts Another Letter To The Sound Of Five,
People Gather 'Round Her
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Alive,
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.
Ay
So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.
Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Around
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath She Wets Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel Around Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pockets Of Her Raincoat.
Ah, It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.
