El siguiente video musical Early Days del legendario Paul McCartney se inspira en en el gusto que sentían Paul, John, George y Ringo por el blues y también es un homenaje al comienzo de la relación entre Paul y John. En el video se cuenta la historia universal de dos chicos que se hacen amigos por su pasión musical y forman una banda y los altibajos que surgen al iniciarla independientemente de si tienen éxito o no. El breve filme cuenta también con la participación del actor Johnny Depp a quien podrán ver unos segundos al final tocando con su buen amigo Paul (por si no sabían, Johnny Depp toca la guitarra desde que tenía doce años y ha colaborado con otras bandas como Oasis y Marilyn Manson). Early Days es el quinto sencillo del más reciente álbum de Paul McCartney, New, que se lanzó a la venta en octubre del año pasado. Aquí tienen el video musical y más abajo la letra.
I lived through those early days
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
Just to keep from getting crazed
Dressed in black from head to toe
Two guitars across our backs
We would walk the city roads
Seeking someone who would listen to the music
That we were writing down at home
But they can’t take it from me if they try
I lived through those early days
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
Just to keep from getting crazy
Hair slicked back with Vaseline
Like the pictures on the wall
Of the local record shop
Hearing noises we were destined to remember
We willed the thrill to never stop
May sweet memories of friends from the past
Always come to you, when you look for them
And your inspiration, long may it last
May it come to you, time and time again
Now everybody seems to have their own opinion
Who did this and who did that
But as for me I don’t see how they can remember
When they weren’t where it was at
And they can’t take it from me if they try
I lived through those early days
So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
Just to keep from getting crazed
I lived through those early days
I lived through those early days
