About the Song

A great song from The Beatles' 1967 classic album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: "With A Little Help From My Friends."
While countless covers of this song exist, the majority are faithful to the original. Joe Cocker's soulful arrangement is famous, but this time, I've approached it with a completely different take. I have reconstructed this song with my own unique arrangement.
How will Beatles fans react to this new take? I invite you to listen and find out for yourself.

With A Little Help From My Friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, Get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, Get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

（Do you need anybody?）
I just need someone to love
（Could it be anybody?）
I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, Gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends

Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

ああ、友達に少し助けてもらいながら、頑張ってみるよ

大切な人がそばにいない時、僕はどうしたらいい？

一日の終わり、どんな気持ちになる？

ああ、友達に少し助けてもらえれば、僕はなんとかやっていける
ああ、友達に少し助けてもらえれば、最高の気分になれるんだ
