Across the universe

Last night I was watching "Across the Universe" with my sister, my roommates, popcorn and beer. It is a pretty recent musical (2007) with Beatles songs. It is virtually impossible to do a bad movie with Beatles songs. And "Across the Universe" is quite good. The actors sing very well and, in my opinion, came up with great versions of the Liverpoodlian sound. I liked the film a lot. And I recommend it to everyone that, like me, enjoys the Beatles.

Most Beatles songs have a significant message. But, among the ones I listened on the movie, the one that tells me more at this point in my life is the following:

With A Little Help From My Friends
(Lennon/McCartney)

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm going to try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm going to try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm going to try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I just need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm going to try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends
