How John Lennon wrote "Real Love" and "Stepping Out" (Part 2)

I tried to make sense of the many demos that we have for these two songs. So I selected representative versions and arranged them in this video, which in two parts tells the story of how they were written.

I hope this helps to reduce some confusion about this fascinating process!

All the demo versions I used are available on "Between The Lines", which I shamelessly plug here. But don't ask me where to get it, please... and remember: never pay for the set if you see it anywhere. It's supposed to be spread for free.

Thanks so much, I grew up to Beatles, John always my musical hero and gawd of singing and writing, I never get tired of new finds, rarities . This is sublime, I miss him fiercely, and as very few ever comment on he had the singular most unique, beautiful, heartbreaking, breathtaking, voice of anyone ever committed to tape...simply the best voice in pop/rock ever, millions can imitate Presley, no one does a spot on John...when I was 8, single after single came out and it was always THAT voice...
