Mind Games

Reseña

"Mind Games" (Juegos Mentales) está considerado como el cuarto álbum de estudio en la discografía de John Lennon. Grabado en los estudios Record Plant de Nueva York en 1973, fue producido por el propio Lennon para el sello Apple Records.

Tras abandonar un tanto su activismo político y en una época delicada en su relación con Yoko Ono, comenzó a preparar un disco alejando de la crítica política y social de su anterior trabajo, "Sometime In New York City". En medio de sus declaraciones ante la corte que estudiaba su deportación, Lennon comenzó a componer los nuevos temas que compondrían su nuevo álbum.

La presión que el FBI ejercía en su vida, con seguimientos y escuchas telefónicas, estaban desquiciando al músico y eso dejó su impronta en las canciones. Además, justo antes de comenzar las grabaciones Yoko Ono y John Lennon se separaron. Lennon comenzó una nueva relación sentimental con su asistente personal y coordinadora de producción, May Pang, una relación que se mantendría durante 18 meses y que, cuando finalizó, el músico definió como "un fin de semana perdido".

Finalmente, "Mind Games" se comenzó a grabar en julio de 1973, una grabación que se llevaría a cabo en tan solo dos semanas. En las canciones, Lennon continúa mostrando sus sentimientos a través de temas melancólicos cuyo destino eran los oídos de Yoko Ono. Uno de dichos temas, "Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" se tituló originalmente como "Call My Name" y era una clara invitación a Yoko para retomar su relación.

Otros temas mostraban más alegría en sus composiciones, como en "Intuition" y "Only People". Por otra parte, Lennon no renuncia al rock como medio de expresión, con temas como " Tight A $" o "Meat City".

    letra de Intuition

    My intentions are good, I use my intuition
    It takes me for a ride
    But I never understood other people's superstition
    It seemed like suicide
    And as I play the game of life
    I try to make it better each and every day
    And when I struggle in the night
    The magic of the music seems to light the way
    Intuition takes me there
    Intuition takes me everywhere

    Well my instincts are fine
    I had to learn to use them in order to survive
    And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
    It's good to be alive
    And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
    With nothing left to say
    It's then I realize it's only a condition
    Of seeing things that way
    Intuition takes me there
    Intuition takes me everywhere

    letra de I Know (I Know)

    The years have passed so quickly
    One thing I've understood
    I am only learning
    To tell the trees from wood

    I know what's coming down
    And I know where it's coming from
    And I know and I'm sorry (yes I am)
    But I never could speak my mind

    And I know just how you feel
    And I know now what I have done
    And I know and I'm guilty
    But I never could speak my mind

    I know what I was missing
    But now my eyes can see
    I put myself in your place
    As you did for me

    Today I love you more than yesterday
    Right now I love you more right now

    Now I know what's coming down
    I can feel where it's coming from
    And I know it's getting better all the time
    As we share in each other's minds

    Today, I love you more than yesterday
    Right now, I love you more right now

    Ooo, no more crying
    Ooo, no more crying
    Ooo, no more crying
    Ooo, no more crying

    letra de You Are Here

    From Liverpool to Tokyo
    What a way to go
    From distant lands one woman one man
    Let the four winds blow

    Three thousand miles over the ocean
    Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sun

    Love has opened my eyes
    Love has blown right through
    Wherever you are, you are here

    Three thousand miles over the ocean
    Three thousand light years from the land of surprising sun
    East is east and west is west
    The twain shall meet
    East is west and west is east
    Let it be complete

    Three thousand miles over the ocean
    Three thousand light years from the land of the morning star

    letra de One Day (At A Time)

    You are my weakness, you are my strength
    Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
    Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea
    When we're together or when we're apart
    There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts
    Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree

    One day at a time is all we do
    One day at a time is good for you

    You are my woman, I am your man
    Nothing else matters at all, now I understand
    That I'm the door and you're the key
    And every morning I wake in your smile
    Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes
    Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee

    One day at a time is all we do
    One day at a time is good for us two (you too)

    letra de Out The Blue

    Out the blue you came to me
    And blew away life's misery
    Out the blue life's energy
    Out the blue you came to me

    Every day I thank the Lord and Lady
    For the way that you came to me
    Anyway it had to be two minds
    One destiny

    All my life's been a long slow knife
    I was born just to get to you
    Anyway I survived long enough
    To make you my wife

    Like a U.F.O. you came to me
    And blew away life's misery
    Out the blue life's energy
    Out the blue you came to me

    letra de Aisumassen (I'm Sorry)

    When I'm down really yin
    And I don't know what I'm doing
    Aisumasen Yoko
    All I had to do was call your name

    And when I hurt you and cause you pain
    Darling I promise I won't do it again

    Aisumasen Yoko
    It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain

    All that I know is just what you tell me
    All that I know is just what you show me

    When I'm down real sanpaku
    And I don't know what to do
    Aisumasen Yoko san
    All I had to do was call your name
    Yes, all I had to do was call your name

    Only people just know how to talk to people
    Only people know just how to change the world
    Only people realize the power of people
    A million heads are better than one, so come on, get it on!

    Well I know how we tried and the millions of tears that we cried
    Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
    And we can't be denied with woman and man side by side
    Make no mistake it's our future we're making,
    bake the cake and eat it too!
    We don't want no pig brother scene

    Well it's long overdue there
    ain't nothing better to do
    Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
    We can fly right on thru, there's nothing on earth we can do
    Fish or cut bait it's our future
    e're making all together now pull the chain!
    We don't want no pig brother scene

    letra de Mind Games

    We're playing those mind games together
    Pushing the barriers planting seeds
    Playing the mind guerrilla
    Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
    We all been playing those mind games forever
    Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
    Doing the mind guerrilla
    Some call it magic the search for the grail

    Love is the answer and you know that for sure
    Love is a flower you got to let it grow

    So keep on playing those mind games together
    Faith in the future out of the now
    You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
    Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
    Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
    Projecting our images in space and in time

    Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
    Yes is surrender you got to let it go

    So keep on playing those mind games together
    Doing the ritual dance in the sun
    Millions of mind guerrillas
    Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
    Keep on playing those mind games forever
    Raising the spirit of peace and love
    (I want you to make love, not war
    I know you've heard it before)

    letra de Bring On The Lucie (Freda Peeple)

    We don't care what flag you're waving
    We don't even want to know your name
    We don't care where you're from or where you're going
    All we know is that you came
    You're making all our desicions
    We have just one request of you
    That while you're thinking things over
    Here's something you just better do

    Free the people now
    Do it do it do it now

    Well we were caught with our hands in the air
    Don't desapir paranoia is everywhere
    We can shake it with love when we're scared
    So let's shout it aloud like a prayer

    We understand your paranoia
    But we don't want to play your game
    You think you're cool and know what you are doing
    666 is your name
    So while you're jerking off each other
    You better bear this thought in mind
    Your time is up you better know it
    But maybe you don't read the signs

    Well you were caught with your hands in the kill
    And you still got to swallow your pill
    As you slip and you slide down the hill
    On the blood of the people you killed

    Stop the killing now
    Do it do it do it now
    Bring on the Lucie

    Hard and slow ain't hard enough
    Just as tight a$ you can shake it girl

    Well tight a$ got me cornered

    Tight a$ strut your stuff so tough
    Just a sweating in the midnight shade
