When We Was Fab ?
« on: January 06, 2008, 11:25:52 AM »

Over the Years the solo Beatles have referenced themselves and each other in song .
Paul as recently done it on  " That Was Me " from Memory Almost Full so which of these Fab tracks gets your vote for incorparating a Beatles referance ?  :)

Ive gone for When We Was Fab , love this track also like Paul's That Was Me and Here Today  :)
John's spiteful How Do You Sleep is not bad either he gets some great song referances in Sgt. Pepper's and Yesterday  :)

I had to say "All Those Years Ago". I remember distinctly the first time I heard it, driving down the highway at night, and chills started creeping over my body. "That's John!" I yelled at the radio (probably the radio knew this already). When he got to the third verse I had the volume way up so I could hear every word. Wow. Just really reached me.

Ringo's "Never Without You" affected me nearly the same way, except I had to go looking for it, so I wasn't caught off guard. That might have diluted some of the impact. But it was a lovely tribute as well.

Paul's "Here Today" is one of his rare songs where I prefer the lyrics to the tune. It's strange; I wanted to be more moved by it than I ended up being. But perhaps it's too difficult a subject for Paul to tackle head on. He's not a "wear his heart on his sleeve" kind of guy.
 
I really enjoy "How Do You Sleep?" because I think it completely succeeds as a piece of nasty musical snark. I think I actually enjoy the video of them making the song more than the song!

And where is "The Ballad of John and Yoko"? Shouldn't that be here, too, or is it not Beatley enough?

Its pretty funny seeing all these angry songs by John from the late '60s / early '70s alongside all the sentimental stuff the others did after John and then George died. I voted for All Those Years  Ago, which I just adore 8).

I think it's likely had one of the other's gone before John he too would have penned a lovely sentimental song for one of his friends , he had that side to him aswell ?

It reminds me of something Spike Milligan said to Harry Secombe: "I hope you go first because I don't want you singing at my funeral". :)

He also got a dig in at what I bet was the song of Paul's that probably made him puke the most: "Another Day".

"... and since you're gone you're just Another Day".

At least that's my take on it, maybe I'm reading too much snark!

(I like the song, BTW, even though someone (John?) once said it was perfectly suitable for a feminine underarm TV commercial).
