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
Moosehunting in England
When performer Clive Flatenbad in the Swedish rap duo realPfft is at his most unproductive, the musical maestro in Mutte Fjutt steps forward, creating bright and exciting instrumental compositions like this one that play repeatedly inside your head. Thank God for Mutte! “Moosehunting in England” is a joke title, consciously inappropriate since the moose in England died out 8,000 years ago.
