This is awesome, one of my favourite Lennon/Fan/Whatever songs. Not sure why it hasnt been finished officially as this just shows what a great job can be done with the demo, not that its needed with this little gem going around.

Well done, Lennon would approve.

[pablonce]

lennon for ever !

[Wardenclyffeforever]

Wow, the fifth beatle!

[Ayinall]

A smile and a tear.

[TheFabFour14]

Fantastic video!

[nano952]

u give it more of a lennon sound not like the beatles sound i love it tho perfect

[mnpizarr]

please let me know how to get the MP3, this version is amazing

[MrJaimerua]

great video

[morsimaniman]

destruction keeps hounding me all around

[morsimaniman]

Top tune

[TheJarnit]

I love it - miss you!

[luistl11]

it sounded good whoever added the other instruments helped the song. john lennon what a great song. wish you were here.

[doctorzaius77]

great video!

[RootsFlack]

It would have been nice that he recorded this in the studio together with real love and grow old with me. Three fantastic Ballads. But he wanted to have an album with yoko. It would have been a great album solo, they should have made a double Album. But it's like this now.

[terrywest111]

What is "original" in this recording?

What does John actually play here? Piano?

Man this sounds AMAZING!!! I love it!

[fasterbludger]

this is a really good song, and you really made it sound even better....

[hereinthebronx]

hey can you post the words to this song?

B T W you did a great job on this

thank you

[azjeff1971]

This is a great song!

[Traumatoast]

Thanks langerlomysterioso !

[Gilbavel]

Who are the other musicians? Drummer isn't Ringo, etc.

[langerlomysterioso]

It's in the description -- there are no other "musicians." Just me adding (playing) stuff over Lennon's demo.

[beotchslayer2000]

u did a fine job

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

RIP JOHN, You saw it coming somehow, didnt you?

[issielemons]

It's really special to listen to this today. You did fantastic work on it. Can't wait to hear more!

[Veliove]

hahaaha yoko at 1:41

[bb1111116]

Awesome arrangement! Thank you very much.

[jaredcanyom]

The Best !!!!

[jaredcanyom]

Lennon Forever !!!

[xxjesseluthixx]

sounds like hes singing about his death

rip lennon

[superman11978]

Very professional job on the video, and the demo sounds great. Sounds like George's "jangly" guitar on Imagine.

[zephyrquartz]

A wise man. So humourous too. What a loss not to have him here now.

[cbfall]

GREAT TUNE COMING FROM A WISE BEATLE!

[LukeAndreFly]

that's the best video I've seen of John on YouTube

[23LWillie]

Bravo! Very well done.

[RED4MIX]

never listen to it before

thaks

[issielemons]

Thank You - this is truely amazing to hear. By any chance could you tell me where to get an MP3 of this?

[badabingyanks]

if you get this mp3, let me kno where you get it thanks

[langerlomysterioso]

I've been toying with the idea of re-uploading this in higher quality. The audio on this clip is not a good representation of the full-resolution file. It's really much better sounding than this.

[JNRQZ99]

of all the lennon home demos, this version ranks up there with the reprocessed "now and then" (also available in youtube) as the best available "repackaging" of john's demo songs. this song is my personal favorite though! i wish i can have a copy of this on mp3!

[artoffugue]

@langerlomysterioso I would definitely appreciate it!

[Colonsigmoide]

@langerlomysterioso Please, upload the MP3 in High Quality to Megaupload and put the link in the description.

[lalalives]

@langerlomysterioso Please, please, please re-upload it! It's amazing!!!

[morsimaniman]

well langerlomysterioso,absolutely second to none!!!

[morsimaniman]

Some real talent here,worthy of Lennon....WELL DONE LAD!

[marskat75]

What a gift. There's not a better demo finish out there. Before you know who makes you take it down & disappear, I wish you'd round back to the verse "They say the..." and finish out with chorus, then repeat chorus. Instinct is amazing. The saxes are inspired, the harmonies are dead accurate, and is there a hint of mellotron (maybe in my head). Critiquing drums would be quibble. Anyway, it's inspired & a great comfort at this late date. A complete MP3 - obviously there's a lot of us. Thank you!

[langerlomysterioso]

You know, this kind of stuff can really go to your head!

[BagofSunshine1001]

sounds like he wrote this after he died

kinda haunting

really good song though

[victorecr1992]

beautiful song

[FindMyDreamHome]

Superb.

[reneperezz]

this song makes me feel sooo good!

[9walrus9]

thanks. nice job.

[Brian5475E]

You need to make a MP3 download for this.

[LennonForever38]

Nice Work!!! I love it. Did you do this personally or did you get from a CD or something?

[langerlomysterioso]

I dunnit.

[n136ha]

Guitar sounds like George could be playing it, sent shivers down my spine

[fliederrix]

Very well done! You finished this wonderful song in a perfect way, without damaging the character of the original demo-tape.

[Maccaera]

I still miss you John so much!

[MissRandom79]

Gosh looking at this video..made me feel so sick inside..........hes gone.....John Lennon......i can't begin to tell people how much..i love him...and he is my hero.....I LOVE YOU JOHN!

[georgehfan1]

beautiful video. beautiful man

[Shop92]

Did you really do this?

its splendid , i though it was off some ltd ed record or som'et . Great work.

[Shop92]

Is this on lennons anthology or the beatles anthology ? Because ive only got it on double fantasy.

[langerlomysterioso]

Nope - it's just here. It's a home-brewed concoction.

[badabingyanks]

yo let me get this mp3

[walrusz]

Great stuff langerlomysterioso! Check out the rare and unreleased George Harrison song "Window Window" with my new studio backing on youtube.

[langerlomysterioso]

My man... that is a TASTY arrangement on "Window Window." I especially like the backing vocals -- a real mid-80s Jeff Lynne/GH vibe on that.

Might be fun to take a crack at that one and go all Phil Spector on it! You know, way too much reverb and too many overdubs ;)

[josparkes]

Just great John

[festivephone]

Definetly the best version of the 3 on youtube. You really should send this to paul or yoko and hopefully get it realeased because its such a fantastic song and the overdubs really make it.

[langerlomysterioso]

Just had a look around. I was totally unaware anybody else had done one of these.

Thanks for you kind words! I may have to do another one at some point!

[wineyamehouse]

Great job with the overdubs! Sounds almost as good as if the other three had contributed.

[TINML]

The original demo is found on the remastered "Double Fantasy" CD. But where can one find this version in a higher quality? Great job, BTW!

[cubfan8290]

This is absolutely wonderful!

Great video!

[WiltatKansas]

I love him forever. Idol.

[cubfan8290]

A great video and great song!

[McCartnee]

Yes you did well with the overdubs.

I like how well you edited footage from Imagine and the other sources to make the video complete.

[heartbeatofaband]

I am very impressed, "you are a genius" nice job embellishing the song. I would have never guessed it would be a 70's song, sounds very up to date. I am glad i ran into this song by accident, keep up the good work.

[coronaferrer]

Thanks for your guts

[jwixy1714]

great overdubs, i wouldnt of known better without you admitting it, very subtle and not overdone

[claybilly]

wow man cool,

[BeatleUniversity]

When was this song written? When was it recorded?

[langerlomysterioso]

This is a John Lennon demo recorded, I guess, during the late 70s. It's just a cassette of Lennon and a piano and embellished with overdubs by yours truly.

[badabingyanks]

where can i get a copy of this, ill pay

[GreatestDane92]

Awesome dude! I just found out about this song, nice job!

[MrMeaty727]

Lennon is smiling

[rubbersoulrevolverya]

did you make this? if so, great job.

[langerlomysterioso]

Make? No, LENNON made it. I only embellished it...

[jwixy1714]

does anyone think that john on some level knew of his premature death? some of his songs seem almost like they are written beyond the grave

[incesticide27]

jhon does it again ;)

[rrongzhang]

thanks. John, you will be missed forever

[malpakoza]

you could've left the pic of him dead outta it... it just ruined the first part for me but other than that it kicks so much ass lol

[fuckoffucunt]

Good job. I always hoped Yoko would have given it to Ray Charles to record, sampling John's voice in places.

[miniheli]

Same here never heard this tune before thanks for posting I really like it.

[earlogisman]

love this song!

[bwworld]

Cool! Never heard this one before. Got details? Also the video footage is sad and amazing.
