Esta homenagem em memória de John Lennon contou com os Beatles sobreviventes, na altura (Paul, Ringo e George) e com a voz de John, gravada numa cassete de demonstração.
É muito claro - para mim - que se trata duma canção testemunho, emblemática da ideologia* dos Beatles e de John Lennon. Se pensarmos na onda de entusiasmo que a sua música produziu e deu voz a uma juventude, protagonizando as causas da Paz, da libertação sexual, etc., não admira que Lennon e os Beatles tenham desencadeado amor e ódio. Mas apesar do ódio, o amor vence sempre.
Esta canção é uma demonstração disso.
Somos aves livres de voar, pelo espaço, pelas cidades e pelos campos, sobre as águas e os desertos. Quem nos quer aprisionar, na jaula da pobreza, do medo, ou da desigualdade, não sabe que as aves que somos, sempre encontramos maneira de voar pela janela fora, de sair das prisões onde nos querem encerrar.
É este o simbolismo que encontro nesta canção.
Escrevam-me dizendo qual a vossa impressão perante a audição, quais as reflexões de vos ocorrem, o que é para vocês a liberdade, etc.

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
That seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so
The life that we once knew?

Free as a bird
Like the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, (home) home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings
Like the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, (home) home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

Oo-oo-oo
Is the next best thing to be
Free as a bird

Mind Games
We're playin' those mind games together
Pushin' the barriers, plantin' seeds
Playin' the mind guerrilla
Chantin' the mantra, peace on earth
Pushin' the barriers, plantin' seeds
Playin' the mind guerrilla
Chantin' the mantra, peace on earth
We all been playin' those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dude liftin' the veil
Doin' the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail
Some kinda druid dude liftin' the veil
Doin' 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 gotta let it, you gotta let it grow
And you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You gotta let it, you gotta let it grow
So keep on playin' those mind games together
Faith in the future, outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Faith in the future, outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah, we're playin' those mind games forever
Projectin' our images in space and in time
Projectin' our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer
And you know that for sure
Yes is surrender
You gotta let it,…
And you know that for sure
Yes is surrender
You gotta let it,…
