We Can Work It Out

"We Can Work It Out" was on the other side of the Beatles single, "Day Tripper.".  One usually would say "B"side but this record was released as joint "A" sides. This was the first time in Britain that a record was ever promoted in this way. Quite right, I say.  Happy to say that the song is considered to be a true collaboration between Lennon and McCartney. (So many of their songs, I will ask my son, "Now, which one wrote this song?" He will tell me, and I will say, "Oh yes, that makes sense.".) And by the way, "Day Tripper"...in 1965, as an American kid, I did not have a clue what a day tripper was...when I was in England 20 years later, it amused me to learn what it meant!

I have a video here of Keane performing "We Can Work It Out" and I hope you love this as much as I do.  I think it's a good song for these times just now.  The group is from East Sussex in England.  We have friends who live in Bexhill, so we have visited there. Maybe I might see the lead singer, Tom Chaplin walking along the seafront one day? Hey, it could happen!  (And I won't go all weird and fawn all over him. Well, I will try not to anyway!)

(OH! And after the video finishes, be sure to listen to the video of Keane performing "Somewhere Only We Know" from the Live8 Concert from 2005. Tom Chaplin has such a GREAT voice and Tim Rice-Oxley on the keyboard, why he almost FLIES away as he is playing with such excitement!)

Think about it though, how will we be changed after all this is over? Will we ever want to shake hands again, give someone a hug? Hmm....I have never liked being in large crowds anyway, so for me...Looks like I will be the same crazy lady in the attic, typing, typing, typing...  Stay safe everyone and if you have to be crazy like me, then listen to music that you enjoy and take pleasure in the small things in life, like daisies that just come up in your yard, without doing one thing to help them bloom and grow.
