http://www.the-valve.com - =-_SHARE_-= Learn to sing all "Nowhere man" vocal hamonies by The "Beatles". Luthier and Beatles expert Galeazzo Frudua vocal lesson explaining exact same vocals harmonies lines The Beatles used on the record.

NOTES
Detected bpm: 121
Key of: E

Song's structure legenda: A A B A A B A B A

A = Verse: "He's a real nowhere man..."
B = bridge: "Nowhere man please listen..."

Verse: 1 John (Double tracked) + George and Paul (Double tracked?).
Bridge 3: John Lead vocal (Double tracked) + George and Paul (Double tracked).

Special notes:
This is a typical 3 parts harmony going almost continuously by 4ths except for a few points where both George and Paul make a few small variations on John's lead pattern.

In the verse we hear John singing the middle harmony, George singing the lowest one and Paul the highs one. I am not sure George and Paul are single tracked in the verse. At least in the bridge they are surely double tracked.

The bridge on the record only features the highest and lowest vocals. The video shows a middle one that does not exist on the record so I will remake this one soon.

I also have to correct George's and Paul's vocals in the verse in a very few points. Enjoy!

It was recorded on 21 and 22 October 1965. "Nowhere Man" is among the very first Beatles' songs to be entirely unrelated to romance or love, and marks a notable instance of Lennon's philosophically-oriented songwriting. It was released as a single (although not in the United Kingdom) on 15 February 1966, and reached #1 in Australia and Canada and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison sing the song in three-part harmony.

Lennon claimed that he wrote the song about himself. He wrote it after racking his brain in desperation for five hours, trying to come up with another song for Rubber Soul. Lennon told Playboy: "I'd spent five hours that morning trying to write a song that was meaningful and good, and I finally gave up and lay down. Then 'Nowhere Man' came, words and music, the whole damn thing as I lay down".

McCartney said of the song: "That was John after a night out, with dawn coming up. I think at that point, he was a bit...wondering where he was going and to be truthful so was I. I was starting to worry about him".

  • Galeazzo, I've been enjoying your vids! Fantastic, Thanks for doing this. I just saw you on TV MSNBC reporting on the cruise ship accident. Tell me it was you. I was thrilled to see you.

  • @cleger29 Oh MG no I was in Switzerland that day!

  • Galeazzo, you are so awesome! This is fun trying to sing all these harmonies using the Audacity program. Ha, I just wish the results of my voice would sound as good as yours. Some of these Paul lines are really hard for me to do.

  • @Raman711 Hey Raman, just practice without forcing your voice and you'll get it!

  • Hey Galeazzo, you are an amazing vocalist and do the Beatles like no other expert and I was wondering if you would make a video of the vocal harmonies to "Please Mr. Postman" or "Hold Me Tight" or both if possible, it would really be of great help to me and my band.

  • @Rogginroll Mr Postman... Good idea!
