Great job Paul. You realized this song with a real Beatles. I'd be interested in McCartney's response to it. Thanks so much for your hard work as well as posting this.
absolutely brilliant mix....best on youtube....if there is any constructibe critisism to be made i would say that the cymbals are too lousd and they need slightly lower volume,,,,but excellent mix, love this one
John Lennon was such a good songwriter. I truly admire him. I miss him to this day! He would have made such magnificent music if he would have lived but life made it otherwise. I truly admire the Beatles, they were a gift to our ears and soul! Music is a God given gift and these men are a gift of God to humanity. Thank you
la neta compa Esta cancion es my chingona y esta es la mejor version de Lennon. Como para retroceder el tiempo y evitar que el maldito de Chapman lo hubiera matado.
I think you are a genius. The song brought tears to my eyes reminding us all what we have lost. John would have been so proud of the way you handled his work with such sensitivity. Good on ya!
extraordinario y excelente video felicitaciones por mostrar y depurar esta excelente canción que es como un diamante en bruto, fue necesario trabajarla pero valio la pena
Great job. Very BEATLE like. I know the original is a terrible recording, so you didn't have much to work with. I think John would dig it. Yoko made sure that the Beatles didn't have any of John's better quality demo's to work with. All the Lennon vocals Yoko gave the Beatles are buried and have too much reverb and out of tune piano on them. That said, I still can't get enough of any John Lennon songs that we haven't yet heard. Thanks for your version. Sounds great.
Fantastic reworking of this song. Absolutely love it and the extra guitar bits and bell-like sounds. Could Paul Newell be McCartney? Wouldn't put this kind of thing past him, knowing his ways.
Nice arrangement. Resembles Lennon's later sound of the late 70s/early 80s. The guitar solo also great... One could imagine this to be a sample of what The Beatles' sound might have evolved into, later in life, with the band members being middle-aged and all. Fascinating!
You have done a lovely job, well done, it's creative people like yourself that have made this simple and lovely song such an enigma among people who love the beatles, and will have hopefully before this year is out, finally prompted the beatles version to see the light of day. I miss you John & more than now & then.
Amazing work. I hope Paul McCartney hears this. I can understand why they gave up on it so quickly back in the 90's. Technology is better now (shows in your reprocessed work), but also I can imagine it would have been hard for Paul, George and Ringo to work on this... the recording was in bad shape so you'd be going over it over and over, and the song is heavy and emotional... it would have been emotionally draining.... kudos.
I'm glad you managed to snag the full vocal line! I remember there was a version of just the demo posted and it got removed... I was so sad. I didn't want my cover to be the only thing out there of the full song!!!
Traducida al español: Sé que es verdad, todo es por tu culpa Y si debo padecerlo, todo es por tu culpa Y ahora, y entonces, si tenemos que volver a empezar Bien, no estabamos seguros, de que Te amo [Coros] Yo no quiero perderte, oh no, no, No quiero abusar de ti ni confundirte, oh no, no, no, dulce. Pero si tienes que irte. Bueno, no te detendré nena Y si tienes que irte Bien,[otra letra ininteligible
felicitaciones al creador de este video, es una obra excelente. Eso muestra que las canciones de lennon tienen mucho mas contenido musical de lo sencillas que pueden parecer.
A lot of thought and care went into this 'reproduction'. A labor of love, indeed! Long live You Tube...or I wouldn't have even known this unfinished Lennon song existed.
now and then i miss you john lennon.....
