John Lennon - 1975-1977 Part 6

This is part six of John Lennon's complete home demos from between 1975-1980. To understand the abbreviations I am using, please refer to part one:

Free As A Bird, Take 3 (1977, TD)
Turned Out Nice Again (1977, TD) -- In this track, John is messing with backmasking. You may recognize this as the end of the full rendition of Free As A Bird as heard on the first installment of the anthology.
Whatever Happened To...?, Take 2 (1977, TD)

.....well he has to I suppose. After all, 'the cats have all been blessed' and you wouldn't want a fly to land on a blessed cat I can tell you. Oh my God, the palarva that would cause.....

The subsequent video made after John's death and featuring old footage of the group interwoven with a time line of his life, is especially moving to me personally...

Free at last John....

Like countless other songs he demoed, this was never

returned to the moment after it was recorded. It seems to be

written mainly as a guitar and tempo exercise. The fact it has

been written in the third-person probably indicates Lennon

intended it for his planned musical "The Ballad Of John And Yoko".

thats exactly what i thought too, until now!! although paul did add a few impressive lyrics to it. 'where did we lose the touch that seemed to mean so much always makes me feel so free...' thats a good line.

I was always under the impression that Free as a Bird did not have a middle eight and that the surviving Beatles wrote it. When in fact they just finished the lyrics. This clears things up. Thanks!

that last song is really great in particular
