"She's leaving comb." - John Lennon wrote this song about a girl enduring chemo treatments. It is not about a runaway. I am a Beatles Historian in my spare time. I am the Director of Beatles Acquisitions at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. Please learn the truth.
The orchestrations were absolutely perfected! The lead singer on the other hand was kind of hurting it for me though, Needs a bolder voice, Was a little flat on many notes and also doesn't hold his notes long enough on some parts.
I don't really know why people would dislike this :S Maybe the beatle's version is better because.. well, you know, they were terrific, and they made the song, so obviously the cover won't be better than the original. But, it's ok, every point of view is welcome.
I think this is a stunning rendition, beautiful and haunting. I think the others are all good versions - this is my favourite, sung just how I think it should be. Thank you guys.
Not to be rude or anything, but I really did not like this version. Lovely Rita from Travis was a lot better, Sgt. Peppers Reprise from Stereophonics, even Razorlight's W/ a little help from my friends, but this version lacks the feeling Paul had with the lead vocals and the rest with the chorus. That's my opinion.
why cant people just respect everyone's music even if it isn't to there taste. i for one think that this version is amazing, imagine how hard it must be to cover a song from the most famous bands in the world. you haters don't like it doesn't sound like the original, that's all.
It might not be the best cover (obviously), but it still gave me chills. It'll take more than this to do damage to a song as amazing this. All in all, though, I thought it was actually a quite good cover. I only miss Paul and John's voice.
I'm sure he's a great singer, but he wasn't the right singer for this song. Maybe if he didn't try to sing in his falsetto he would have done better, who knows. The harp and backup singers were great though.
All these negative comments! I think that this is an excellent cover. To say that he sounds like an infant is simply not being able to appreciate what I would describe as "an innocence" in his voice. To me this this is a very endearing feature.
Si solo van a aplaudir los covers que pretenden ser copias identicas de las orginales entonces no hay mas que decir. Entiendan que esta es la INTERPRETACION de una misma cancion con otras personas y por lo tanto otro estilo. Si no les gusta, solo den click en "Atras" y listo.
Of course, no one will ever compare to the original.
But I listened to this a few times, and grew to like it.
No one beats The Beatles, but hey.
This is this band's interpretation of a wonderful song, and you guys should respect that. If you don't, then go listen to the original and stop complaining.
this is the best song on the album...and these guys cover it?! Maybe I'm missing something, but me and my friends could do better than this at any karaoke bar
I keep asking to myself how can be this possible. Abbey Road Studios, Sgt Pepper's, BBC, 40 years... and they call this sucker to destroy a song! I am really disappointed.
Beutiful cover, In my opinion they did more than justice to the original...
Why are people talking about levels? theyre fine.
Why would you want to swamp that subtle vocal in reverb?
Echo/Reverb isnt magic dust you know.
Its perfect as it is, levels and all.
...also bare in mind it is a TV recording, NOT a studio recording (you know what I mean), it has passed through the harsh broadcast compression for this wont be an entirely true reproduction of what was recorded to tape.
What song are they listening too my god this is an awesome cover,Take the cotton wool out of your ears and listen properly.Or is it just you dont have 2 brain cells to rub together to make a spark of a thought
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
great cover, the world is full of uneducated morons,classless twats, and dullards, unfortunately a couple of them stumbled on to this track, its not the beatles but its still class, fuckwits like Zappabeeb know what i mean, fuckin halfwit, omg lmao, soon the braindead fuckers will be sending smoke signals to each other imagine that. OMG. RETARDS.
im not a fan of the dudes singing but the background vocals and of course the instruments are perfect!
