I did this one 20 yrs. ago. My favorite George song. Blahman says why cover these songs?....Cuz it's fun and I think it's proof to ourselves that we can. The tricky part is writing these thing........go for it plectrum34...like Kinky says..."why the hell not?"
This is probably my favorite song of all time. It makes me cry in humble joy every time I hear it. I like what you did with the cover -- I always got a bit frustrated with the song because the vocals are so soft, and you definitely amplify them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
nice song, but sometimes I think: why not change the surrounding? different songs, different athmospheres..? To me, it would make sense. You are a great musicien! You could work it out.
fantastic, i have loved this song for a long long long time lol, seriously the White Album has some real gems on it and this is an amazing cover...........like all your songs
Hey Rich, How do you keep from picking up your tower fans in your mics or do you have it isolated somwhere else. I see the screen. Maybe filtered after the fact? I have mine set up in tow different rooms but I have to run back and forth.
why do you always try to sing exactly like the people you are covering? you try to sing like nick drake, and you try to sing like george here. you are obvioulsy very skilled and you should use that skill for originality.
Ha! You have this uncanny knack of choosing to cover songs that I hold so dear to my heart. This is fantastic! More Beatles if possible! My only disappointment is the fact you didn't include the spooky ending! lol. Maybe Taxman or Old Brown Shoe in the future ? :D
It really amazes me how seriously you take covering these songs, and i must say that you're one of the most talented guys i've seen around in here, hope something really good comes to you along the way...Congratulations and thank you for sharing
This is excellent, Rich. I've always thought that the songs Harrison wrote for the Beatles were some of the best ones. I also enjoy some of his solo work, specifically a song from All Things Must Pass called "Let It Down". Could you maybe cover that song?
Thanks Shep,feel the same about the White Album...I actually started out doing Beatle covers when I got my first home recording gear years ago,before I'd even heard of Nick Drake(or before there was an internet for that matter),so it was nice to revisit them on this.
I'm glad they sound realistic enough that you'd ask...I used the BFD plugin for the drums on this(which I trigger from my keyboard)and I did try to make them sound as much like a live drummer as I could.
