you've got to hide your love away (Lennon​-​McCartney)

about

I wanted to sound like Elliott Smith...and then the mood of that moment made me lose my track...
*
The lyrics in the first verse actually were “feeling two foot tall” but that during an early take, John accidentally sang “two foot small.” “Let’s leave that in, actually,” Lennon exclaimed, “All those psueds will really love it,” referring to ‘psuedo-intellectuals.’

lyrics

Here I stand head in hand
turn my face to the wall
if she's gone I can't go on
feeling two foot small.

Everywhere people stare
each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
and I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try?
I can never win
hearing them, seeing them
in the state I'm in...

How could she say to me:
"Love will find a way"?
Gather round all you clowns!
Let me hear you say:

Hey you've got to hide your love away

Alessandro "Lello" Ansani Jyväskylä, Finland

32 years-old; guitar was my first instrument, then I started to play drums and finally I became a weirdo who loves to play piano, croak with his voice, plays the melodica, bass and other instruments.
I love soundtracks.

Genres I like the most: songwriting, jazz, prog, rock, funk, OSTs
