Once there was a way
to get back homewards
to get back homewards
......
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
(Golden Slumbers, Beatles.)
::Golden Slumbers is the first part of a three-song cycle on the album Abbey Road, recorded by the Beatles in the summer of 1969. For Golden Slumbers, Paul McCartney borrowed some words from "Lullabye", an original by 17th-century songwriter Thomas Decker. The cycle acts as a parting message from the group before they split up.
Thanks to ALK, V_angst, Kei, V, J, and the rest of the people of Boknuts for such an emotional session last Feb 14. Thanks to Jags too for spending time with us. The week before that, ALK, over another deconstruction-over-RH session, asked me to tell him 2 of my most favorite Beatles songs. I replied in my most sober voice, "Across the universe" and "Golden Slumbers". I didn't know what difference it made, but he laughed and told me that revealed someone with some longing to be mothered (or did he mean, cared?). I became defensive over the rest of the discussion. So what if "Golden Slumbers" is a lullabye and "Across the Universe" is kinda lulling? Lol. But I guess there isn't any point arguing with people over topics they're used to chewing in the morning. These are psych/sociology teachers, after all. You just have to be careful not to be in the hot seat the next time. heh--
