John Lennon - Free As A Bird (Original)

This is a "Free As A Bird" original demo by John Lennon, one of two versions in circulation.

In the beginning John says : "Free as a boyd" He is punning on the Looney Tunes and the New Jersey accent.

the 20th century had the beatles, acdc, iron maiden, motley crue, ozzy, etc... and what o we have in the dearest 21st century? justin bieber, cody simpson, katy perry, lmfao, etc.... is this really what music has come to?

THANK YOU for this. I had never heard the original Free As A Bird before, so this is very cool. I miss this guys voice and his powerful positive influence. I think the world would be a better place if Lennon were still here, telling the truth thru his powerful and incredible voice. It's a real shame that one creep took him from all of us

Oh what nostalgic moments these Beatles songs bring to me. But they are a source of remembrance as a youth brought up in a new musical environment which made us independent and so strong.

@TieFreaty Maybe once we start hitting the 2060's music will start to come together again.

Music goes through phases. You just have to look further and deeper.

@beatleness I agree, I was born that very day he was taken from us, I was coming into this world 2 minutes after he left it, I know we passed in the ether....now im pregnant with a baby due on Johns Birthday!! Profound. But I liked your comment..

@TieFreaty Don't forget about Floyd, Zeppelin, and The Beach Boys!

@TieFreaty

Who is Cody Simpson and LMFAO? Those other two suck btw!

@TieFreaty Great musicians and cool bands are still giving the fight out there, the problem is that good music is less and less popular everyday.

Even though incomplete, this version is even more moving than the final version.

John's solo work is my favourite of any of the Beatles by far!

@TieFreaty In our defense, it has only been the first ten years of the 21st Century.
