Swell of you to speak for someone from the grave... "Occupying" doesn't do jack. Everyone needs to quit walking in lock-step with BOTH parties in power, and vote with their hearts!
@BigskinPhil It's from the Lost Lennon tapes. These weren't meant to released in any way shape or form. He took the material from these home recordings and then molded them into studio songs. Yeah, most of it's garbage because he's using a home tape recorder for his own artistic purpose. You're right though. It's pretty scratchy.
This is very very poor cover. John Lennon at his worse. Or is someone going to say they've heard him do even worse than this. He should've maybe left this alone. Jimmy Cliff on later with Jools is the ultimate verson of this song. Check it out cos this version is very poor.
I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT JOHN LENNON WOULD BE PROUD OF OCCUPY!!!
I knew exactly where I was when I learned that John was murdered. I still do not believe this happened. And I still ask WHY. Thank You, John Lennon for being that dynamic visionary in my life which GAVE ME SOME TRUTH!!!.
Thank You for sharing this song. I enjoy every song John Lennon gave to the world such as it is.
@breachborn Actually he said he associated with leftist radicals out of embarrasment because he'd made alot of money.He realised even in 1969 that alot of the left was doomed bullshit.He'd often ask leftists"OK after you've torn everything down,what do you replace it with?"The problem with ALL of the anticapitalists is they sit in the luxury afforded them by the FREE market,and they're too dumb to realise that ALL of our problems are because of SOCIALISM creeping in.Big GOV. causes BIG PROBLEMS.
@jimmmmybrady The Extreme left?.The right does far more to derstroy this country than the left.Hey lets blow up an abortion clinic..hey lets blow up a federal building...hey lets tell gays they are second class citizens...hey lets tell all musilims they are evil and throw them out of this country...oooh and by the way lets put up a big fence just like Berlin...and if you here lets show your papers please.....and thats just the tip of the iceberg...lets roll back childlabor laws!!
@gimpy204 You should change your secret identity to Brain Gimp.How about trying to be coherent huh?You sound just like the mental patient that wrote the Quran/koran.Why don't you emigrate to Beijing and wallow in your leftard paradise?Answer;Because you are LAZY.
@jimmmmybrady I bet you say that about BIG GOVERMENT as you walk to the mail box to get you food stamps...and your disability check and you bitch about your pay at your job.you enjoy these things and bitch about what you don't get....and say your walmart check is bullshit because the man is taking al the money.IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@breachborn Everyone whos loves music reminds that bad day . I remember too .i knew the notice in radio at 6:00 am in Brasil my country .I was 18 Y O ,and 2 months before ,i made a poem ... :lets love Lennon before they kill him.. just a coincidence...
Occupy doesn't want the money of others - Occupy wants the wealth Wall Street to cease its controlling the politicians who are supposed to be representing the people.
On October 9th we will all watch "Imagine" in honor of the greatest singer ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Bieber does not deserve to have!
Copy and paste to all John lennon/beatles videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!
@RockandRoll51188 Well, it's really not a Beatle song (written or performed by). As to not "digging this at all", - it's not THAT bad! How about Rev. #9? That's not even a song! It just goes to show what standard the Beatles set as a group. What other group is one expected to like or love all their songs?
This song IS a painfull song. To me, Harry has the best voice ever to me. If I could sing it would be like Harry Nilsson, not Lennon, McCartney, name them and his voice and unique style beats them all. I'm only qualified to give my opinion, and that's it.
wonder if this was John showing Harry this song. sounds like a drum machine, very coool, thanks for posting. I like breaking these demos down and try to figure how they used them.
I agree with you! Harry hurt himself recording it, didn't his throat raw up and bleed? They both sound similar as vocalists, but Lennon's voice is my favorite.
Yes. Harry had to hold his throat in pain. He apparently burst a blood vessel in his vocal chords from three packs of cigs and bottle of booze a day. Something like that.
