![]() That’s always in the middle of the bloody night, when you’re half awake or tired and your critical facilities are switched off.” – John Lennon It won’t let you sleep, so you have to get up, make it into something, and then you’re allowed to sleep. It’s like being possessed like a psychic or a medium. I didn’t want to write it, I was just slightly irritable and I went downstairs and I couldn’t get to sleep until I put it on paper, and then I went to sleep. I don’t know where it came from, what meter it’s in, and I’ve sat down and looked at it and said, ‘Can I write another one with this meter?’ It’s so interesting: ‘Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.’ Such an extraordinary meter and I can never repeat it! It’s not a matter of craftsmanship it wrote itself. They were purely inspirational and were given to me as – boom! I don’t own it, you know it came through like that. I went downstairs and it turned into sort of a cosmic song rather than an irritated song rather than a ‘Why are you always mouthing off at me?’ or whatever, right? But the words stand, luckily, by themselves. She must have been going on and on about something and she’d gone to sleep and I’d kept hearing these words over and over, flowing like an endless stream. “I was lying next to my first wife in bed, you know, and I was irritated. Their contribution was taped on February 4, 1968. Chosen were 16-year old Brazilian Lizzie Bravo and 17-year old London native Gayleen Pease – the first and only fans ever invited to participate in a Beatles recording. These vocalists were chosen by Paul outside the Abbey Road studios after he and John realized the song was lacking harmony vocals. On the original recording, two female vocalists are heard singing the lines “nothing’s gonna change my world” after John’s choral line “jai guru deva ohm”. That EP was mixed for mono only and was later issued on the Mono Masters compilation included in The Beatles In Mono. That mono mix was also intended for inclusion on an aborted EP with the four new songs which appeared on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack. A few come close, but the Beatles made some of the greatest songs in history, and no one can beat someone who has already won the game… a long time ago.The No One’s Gonna Change Our World version (the “wildlife version”) was released in stereo for that compilation but was originally mixed in mono on the day it was recorded. His “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is okay, but it doesn’t match the original. I never cared for the original and this version is even worse, it sounds as if he is add libbing the entire thing and sounds very odd and discombobulated.īono and the Edge leave their mark on “I Am the Walrus”, which is perfect for them, a nice mixed version of a radical classic. Where they got the original lyrics…a circus poster. A bold new sound to an already brave song that broke the boundries of cool.Įddie Izzard (TV’s The Riches) speaks the lyrics to “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Guest singer Joe Cocker, famous for his rendition of a few Beatles songs, is back as he sings a raspy hard core version of “Come Together”. I always thought it was a corny song anyways, but Prudence’s shyness in the song and the film make it a little melodramatic. ![]() Carpio plays shy Prudence and she sings pretty well, if soft, version of “I Want to Hold Yor Hand”, which, in my opinion, is better than the original. A smooth rock and roll sound with a mix of saucy R&B in it. Martin Luther McCoy plays Jo Jo, and his rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is enough to make you weep. Her “Why Don’t Do It the road?”, “Oh! Darling”, “Dear Prudence”, and “Helter Skelter” are really good, my favorite being “Oh! Darling”. His covers of “Happiness Is a Warm Gun” and “I Want You” are very well done and his version of “Hey Jude” is fresh and new and has a sound that is somewhat like an homage to the original but still sounds new.ĭana Fuchs plays Sadie and her voice is very reminiscent of Janice Joplin (which is kind of a coincidence, due to her starring in a stage biography of the rocker called Love, Janice). Joe Anderson plays Max, whose voice has a Beatles like tone. The new version of “It Won’t Be Long”is very peppy. Her rendition of “If I Fell” is heartbreaking and very sad and beautiful. Her version of “Hold Me Tight” is cute and almost bubblegum like, yet has a Beatles-esqe class to it. ![]() Evan Rachel Wood’s Lucy is as girly as one would be in the ’60s, but her voice gets stronger as her character gets more radical.
