This has always been one of my top 10 fave Beatle songs. Only 10 years ago, I found out that
this was written by Dave (oops!...Arthur) Alexander, who I never heard of (I'm American).
Even if he wrote nothing else, he is clearly an underrated songwriter. Classic song, I thought that Paul wrote it, that's a compliment. I will check Inter net 4 more info/songs by Mr. Alexander. Sorry for the sad heartbreak that some of you went through. Peace.
@ozell1992 that's true, I'm a Beatles fan, but I have to admit that this is true, sheldom, almost never a cover is better than an original, almost always an original is unsupearable!!!!
@boybblue You can think is better, but never 10 times. Personally i like this one better, as a lot of Beatles covers, but i still respect (douchbags) who think different.
@ozell1992 Never heard it, so I can't be objective. This is the only version I know, and I love it! As Get Smart would say, "would you believe 9-1/2 times better?" No.
This was my brother Albert's favorite Beatles song.... I lost my brother in 2003 due to illness.... so I hear you, 007h20.... makes me cry too........
I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago and I knew the song I picked at the funderal would make me cry every time I heard it but, I could never imagine loosing any of my beautiful daughers. They say time heals but ......
I lost my wive and 11 year old daughter Anna to a drunk driver at 8:30 AM on the 4th of July. I used to tease her about this song and it would have surely been the song that she danced with me at her wedding. It"s still a wonderful song.....But now it just makes me cry
@007h20 So sad! So sorry. I cannot imagine your pain. She is in heaven dancing at her heavenly wedding with her heavenly Father. You will join your wife and daughter one day
@007h20 Im feeling the pain for ya lad....family is such a blessing, but the hurt left behind with something like that...unreal...my heart goes out to you, big hug guy to you and your other family~!!!! Rick/canada
Im so sorry to hear that sir, Anna has always been my favorite song since i was a teen. I sincerely hope you find future love and peace in your life, bless you.
The amazing thing about the Beatles pop-soul covers like Anna and Please Mr Postman is that the originals are so good, and the Beatles still manage to infuse them with something new. Who'd want to choose?
@Underdog3210 Wow your a dumbass. The beatles are A LOT better than that guy who can barely sing without gettting scratchy. And it's Arthur A's version because the beatles wrote and recorded the song 1963 not copied the song.
@TheBeatlesfreak99 - I'm pretty sure that Arthur Alexander wrote this song and released it in 1962. Beatlesbible online says: "Written by: Arthur Alexander. Then recorded: 11 February 1963 Producer: George Martin Engineer: Norman Smith. Released: 22 March 1963 (UK), 22 July 1963 (US) John Lennon: vocals." Now you have to apologize to Underdog3210! Poor you. :op
@TheBeatlesfreak99 I'm a dumbass because I like A.A version better. It's a opinion...learn to respect others...Beatles Anna is was way better but I just like the original better...something about it
On July 30th 2011 view every Beatles video you can , and make sure you like it too.
This will be national Beatles day.blast their music, sing their songs, do everything to celebrate! Music today is junk, auto-tunes, and not their real voices example: Lady GaGa, Kesha Justin Beiber, and many more. More kids should listen to music like this, real music. Agreed? THE BEATLES RULE. Thumbs up so everyone can see, and please repost to every Beatles video!!
I´ve been in love with those guys since 1964!(ok,I know,I´m a late bloomer,but I live in the tropics,ansd here they only started to exist after breaking in the U.S....(Brazil)
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. This could change the world. Thumbs up this comment, copy and paste it on other songs.
@sirwob yes, I really prefer the original version. I agree that Lennon sings well in this but he is no match for Alexander when we are talking about Anna.
@Manduolis my first concert EVER was the Beatles last concert in San Francisco, I was 11, my brother took me so I'm kind of prejudiced but I respect anybody dedicated to their taste
The original isn't so bad, like i expected, but I still like this version better. I know its a cover but Johns voice is just simply amazing....Like all of their voices all the time.
how comes a 17 year old to listen to a beatles song, not that wellknown without knowing the band good (because they're first album, eycept for twist and shout, is pretty unknown except for rock fans and listeners)
all their covers are superior to the original, especially twist and shout (ther ewas no drive in the isleys version), too tame, i love their shout, roll over beethoven (one song where i really don't like the original, not rocking enough, thin guitar tone, johnny b goode was chucks best guitar tone).
@OropherThranduil you're so right. When the Beatles covered a song they did an excellent job at it. Including this one. Their version sounds so much better than the original. John Lennon puts much more into the song than Arthur Alexander. That's why this version will always be the more popular one. Long live the Beatles.
all of my life i've been searching for a girl, to love me, like i love you..... but every girl i've ever had, breaks my heart and leaves me sad... what am i.... what am i.. supposed to do.....
Just think that John Lennon didn't like his own voice, I love it! soooo much expression and love that bit of rock and roll damn love this song.
