Guy, you are fantastic, it's just a perfect version of this song. Few minutes ago I commented on Mary Hopkin's video that I wish Paul had made an official record. There's no official record, but this one compenses everything.
To learn how to hear the hidden message in Beatles songs, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read through the section about The Beatles
By the way, what program did you use to edit the tracks? I use Magix samplitude pro for my songs, but I'm just an amateur musician, you sound more professional, like you actually studied sound engineering.
Very well done, adapting Paul's original vocals by adding the remainder of "The Beatles" by style and accompaniment. This piece is virtually authentic in its sound. Very true to the original, just as though it had been recorded by The Beatles ensemble.
SIMPLY FANTASTIC! I've been looking for this for years!!!! I'd first heard it on the radio in 1996, never thought I could find it again... thank you so much for posting!!!!
I showed this to my Beatle fan friend and now he believs that this is a Beatles song, and back vocals and the rest of the instruments are also recorded by Beatles :) What a great job you did! Now he's going crazy thinking he jsut found a new Beatles song!
@MrLizardisle Oh, I thought the video explanation sort of made it clear. The demo is Paul playing with his acoustic guitar, and is augmented and completed by me in Beatle style, adding more instruments and backing vocals.
wait did you work on this or was this all just Paul? If you worked on this amazing job! Actually even if you didn't work on this it still sounds great lol
gaius, good shot, but i do like the orginal demo better. look it up folks. Paul was very careful with his songs, he pressed for perfect rendition, something the other ones didn't. I don't see him having that sloppy percussion in the background...
I hope all of you know this song is NOT The Beatles or Paul. It's overdubbed using modern technology to make it sound like what the Beatles could have sounded like, hence, virtual Beatles song. The real Paul McCartney demo is used to make this virtual song. The demo is actually quite good. You can tell this song had great potential. Add this song with Come And Get It, just to name 2 songs that were given to other artists, they could have been on the White Album. Would have been interesting.
Paul McCartney is a real genious writing pop- songs. But Mary Hopkin´s version is much better. So it was maybe a good decision. But who knows if The Beatles had finished this song... What could it habe been ?
i wish there wasnt that annoying percussion thing in the bkground...its like the mary hopkins version on steriods...otherwise the guitar n pauls voice = thumbs up!
I've been looking for this version for 14 years, and now I've finally found it! THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting it, YouTube is great indeed - even when they cut out our legs and take this kind of FINDING out of the system.
Once more, wonderful. It's a wonderful arrangement, sounds like complete and real studio version, and could pass as a single with perfection. THANKS ONCE MORE, unforgettable day.
As a Beatle lover and now an old one. Knew Mary's version and that it was a Mccartney sond but never heard him sing it,he never stops amazing me what a singer,not bad
Wow! Never hear this one. Probably just a demo and they never persued it beyond that. What talent. I'm constantly amazed by the new discoveries I make within their music. And I've been a listener/lover since 1964.
imagine what it would of been like if all these wonderful songs were relased as singles or made into a another Beatles album.Though i can see the freedom for them all to get away from each other and take a break.you'd probably need some sort of downtime from the same people after 12 odd years.
I never knew this was a Paul McCartney song, and hardly remember the Mary Hopkins version even.
Check out Lennon at 0:53 - he looks like Peter Sellers!
And George Martin at 1:49 - the not so widely known producer and so-called "5th Beatle" - I love the strings and brass he added to songs like "Strawberry Fields Forever", Penny Lane, etc. Brilliant.
Wait, just remembered, that should be "Sir" George Martin.
Great! How about Beatle versions of their solo hits. Cold Turkey, Maybe I'm Amazed, Isn't It A Pity, Photograph. One can only dream on how these songs would have sound if The Beatles recorded them. Make it happen.
Really, really well done. a few quibbles (eg the opening guitar part might have been quickened and I would have ended the song at about 2:48), but these are just minor personal preferences. Generally- quite an enhancement of the original.
Ah, nice! And just what they'd sound today I'll bet! I've only got a REALLY dodgy sounding bootleg version of the original recording, so this sounds really fresh!
Good job...I think the bass is a hair shy and the thigh slaps are a hair loud perhaps.. Sounds good though... I would have maybe used a George style ukelele to contrast the texture of all those guitars.... thats just me.. good job like it--wheres the next one ?
Excellent!!! Well done!
