Crying Waiting Hoping
The Beatles · Live At The Bbc
waiting, waiting,
hoping, hoping,
you'll come back,
I just can't seem
to get you off my mind.
Crying, crying,
waiting, waiting,
hoping, hoping,
you'll come back.
You're the one I love.
I think about you
all the time.
Crying, crying,
tears keep a-falling
all night long.
Waiting, waiting,
it seems so useless,
I know it's wrong
to keep on...
...crying, crying,
waiting, waiting,
hoping, hoping,
you'll come back baby,
someday soon
things will change
and you'll be mine.
Crying, crying,
tears keep a-falling
all night long.
Waiting, waiting,
it seems so useless,
I know it's wrong
to keep on...
...crying, crying,
waiting, waiting,
hoping, hoping,
you'll come back
maybe someday soon,
things will change
and you'll be mine.
Crying, crying,
waiting, waiting,
hoping, hoping.
Crying Waiting Hoping
Released on the 1963 BBC live album, "Crying Waiting Hoping" captures The Beatles in a raw, unpolished moment of their early career. Recorded during a session that showcased the band's improvisational energy, the track features a driving rhythm section and John Lennon's distinctive vocal delivery, reflecting the group's transition from skiffle influences to polished pop-rock. As part of their extensive live catalog, this recording highlights the band's ability to extend song structures and engage with audiences in real-time, offering a glimpse into the musical dynamics that would soon define the 1960s. The piece stands as a testament to their early experimentation with rhythm and vocal interplay, preserved for posterity through these historic broadcasts.
