Eviga Beatles — “Beatles Forever”— REMIX

A Mary Hopkins throwback, sexy Stockholm songbird Maria sings her heart out over the demise of the Beatles. Audio engineers Mutte & Clive had a tough time taming Maria’s high C, resulting in this remix. Reducing the treble, they hope to appeal to a wider audience. Shite happens. Doubling Maria’s voice has created a nice ABBA effect. An English translation of the song lyrics follows.

Beatles Forever Lyrics

A lonely heart beats in 4/4 time

A simple rhythm, in child-like glee

From the gray streets of Liverpool

A dream of boundless summer fun

“Yeah, yeah, yeah” echoes in a chorus

Of simple joy, free of sorrow

We search for truth in a beat

A bridge of sound, a musical refuge

But the world turns, tones become brittle

And the sun’s rays beat down

“Yesterday” whisper quiet memories

Of all that was, now soon gone

Psychedelic dream in color

Lucy with diamonds in her soul

“All you need is love” sung in harmony

But what is love, is it true, is it complete?                                                                           

“Strawberry Fields” in perpetual fog

A place where nothing is as it seems

“Across the Universe” a star shines                                                                          

“Jai guru deva om,” an eternal conclusion

We travel through time and space

Toward the horizon in a yellow submarine

A collective meditation

A spiritual journey, beyond spontaneous

But the world turns, tones become brittle                                                              

And the rays of the sun beat down

“Yesterday” whisper quiet memories

Of all that was, now soon gone

Psychedelic dream in color

Lucy with diamonds in her soul

“All you need is love” sung in harmony                                                                      

But what is love, is it true, is it complete?                                                                                  

“Eleanor Rigby” cleans the church  

A mirror of our loneliness

“Let it be” a wisdom, free of cost

An acceptance of our shared existence                                                                        

We seek answers in a melody

But the answer is a question, never ending                                                                              

The mystery of music is our philosophy

A search constantly disappearing

The beat goes on, a ceaseless pulse

From a simple “She loves you” to “Abbey Road”

We are all Beatles, in a chaotic waltz

A journey without end, a timeless coda                                                                   

We are yesterday, we are today

We are a dream, we are a song

A melody that never dies

In the limitless stream of time
