Tonight I Covered "Julia"

Today was a beautiful, crisp, windy day. When I looked outside there was a big morning moon hanging so delicately in the sky. It made me think of my favorite Beatles' song, "Julia". I realized I didn't have the song in my computer though, and crazy enough, The White Album isn't available to purchase on itunes! (There's something I sort of like about that though)

So I decided to cover it. It only took me 30 minutes, and it was simply to satisfy the "fix" I needed to hear, sing, and play this song. You can hear a lot of lip smacking, and a lot of unfinished 'ideas' of harmonies....

I've put the song to a bunch of tour videos* I've been collecting over the past 3 years. I didn't try to synch anything up. These are just randomly chosen clips** that I really like. (sigh...) I've come to terms with the fact that I am just not a perfectionist, and I never will be. So take it as you will. I hope you enjoy it.

love,
p. ahn

It should be illegal to have a voice this beautiful.

This is magic.

O lord, how beautiful. I love The Beatles so much, but I have to say, your voice makes this song sound so beautifully haunting <3 your voice is like butter! So smooth and pretty. John would be happy.

i have to say i'm pretty surprised about that guy complaining about priscilla covering this song. she did a wonderful job and i reckon john lennon would love this, and he'd be pleased that people were still being inspired by this song so many years after he wrote it.

Oh my GAWD your voice is GORGEOUS and this is flawless. And great favorite Beatles song. One of the coolest people I ever knew had "Julia" as her fave Beatles song ever. It's sooooo beautiful.

@pumpkinhead625 I can't take seriously anyone who thinks a performer that relies on covers to keep people interested and has gotten nothing firmly into the cultural canon is among the greatest songwriters. Boy George never had that problem.

@weiner66 I can't take seriously the opinion of anyone who calls themselves "weiner" and likes boy george videos.

@pumpkinhead625 most people would not agree with the idiotic assertion that Priscilla Ahn is perhaps the greatest songwriter in the world
