Help !!....(Now and Then)

I have listened to "Now and Then" quite a lot since it's release and had the thought that i'd heard the phrase before (maybe more than once) in a Beatles song.

Anyhow, long story short, it popped.. so i looked the Lyric up, to be certain.

Then Irony.. "Help" it was, Ai "help" was needed to produce the song.. "Now and Then" the lyrics seem prophetic or maybe just coincidental, you decide.

 

 

I need somebody

(Help) not just anybody

(Help) you know I need someone, help

So much younger than today

(I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way

(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)

I'm not so self assured

(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind

And opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

In oh so many ways

(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze

(But) but every now and then (NOW AND THEN)

I feel so insecure

(I know that I) I know that I just need you like

I've never done before

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me

When I was younger, so much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)

I'm not so self assured

(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind

And opened up the doors

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, ooh

 

The working title had been "Eagle Eyed"

 

I have worked these images over a few years, i even posted one version, though i was never happy with it, i deleted that one a couple of years ago, it made me cringe seeing it,

Anyhow, much like the Eagle, i have settled on this one ;-))
