Out the Blue
I heard this on Beatlearama the other night. It started out as a really cool solo guitar accompaniment in the vein of "Julia" or "Blackbird" (with chord changes similar to "Sexy Sadie") then a full band comes in and sorta destroys the mood and the acoustic guitar gets lost.
Anybody know anything about this song?

this weekend it is Imagine. My 4-year old son was in the backseat of the car when I played "Imagine" on the CD player, and after the song was over, he asked if I could play it again. and again. and again.
So, when we get home, I put on the music video for "Imagine" for him. He watches it, a little frightened by the fog and the sight of two strangers walking slowly through it. Anyway, then the song in the video started up, and he relaxed a little and enjoyed it. Of course, when the video was over, he asked if I could play it again. and again. and again.
So yeah, its "Imagine" this week.
-
Gimmie Some Truth. Rings true even today.

Bring on the Lucie (Freeda Peeple)
My god I LOVE this song. Why is it that it's never played anywhere!!?? Wonder if anyone's covered it. It seems relevant even now.
We don't care what flag you're waving
We don't even want to know your name
We don't care where you're from or where you're going
All we know is that you came
You're making all our descisions
We have just one request of you
That while you're thinking things over
Here's something you just better do
Free the people now
Do it do it do it now
Well we were caught with our hands in the air
Don't despair paranoia is everywhere
We can shake it with love when we're scared
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer
We understand your paranoia
But we don't want to play your game
You think you're cool and know what you are doing
666 is your name
So while you're jerking off each other
You better bear this thought in mind
Your time is up you better know it
But maybe you don't read the signs
Well you were caught with your hands in the kill
And you still got to swallow your pill
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed
Stop the killing now
Do it do it do it now
Bring on the Lucie

POB stands for Plastic Ono Band. So, Geoff is refering to the version of I Found Out that appeared on the album Plastic Ono Band. :)

Working Class Hero makes me CRY sometimes.
But, Mother totally makes me cry even more.
By the way, Mother= my new favorite John song.

^^Working Class Hero sometime seems like it should be sung by Johnny Cash to me sometimes :-/
-
why june carter cashs' family had money and status in the valley.....did you know johnny cash found his older brother dead at the family mill??????and he was named j c???????????i love the cash miester...but mother i think is a whiner song...he screamed to much,cold turkey kind of sucks too,the vocals i mean,the guitar in it rocks....john should have left his primal scream theapy he had with dr janus off the album and it would have been better in my humble not opinion....lol
-
one thing for sure when lennon was p*ssed he wrote good gritty rock tunes...i adore gimme some truth but the anger in how do you sleep drives a heavy beat...just like cold turkey he has gotta be mad to write a rocker...

Yeah I knew all of that about Johnny Cash. It's just the sound of his voice, I could hear him singing it. But not the younger Johnny, older, like around the time of Hurt.

"A Case Of the Blues." It's a fragment from 1968 or 1969, I think. Too bad he never finished it.

sigh :( it is true jane there is just no replacing him...i tried but it ain't happening...
nothing comes close does it??
Yes, no replacing him, pc31! Talented, extraordinary, witty, contraversial, sarcastic, the best vocal for me, handsome- all is there. The Great Briton. Why do great people die so early? I understand you: there`s noone else to love so much...They all come and go but he stays.
I also enjoyed listening to Julian. I don`t like the way he looked when he was very young, but in Stand By Me he looks great and sings much better than he used to. I am sure he and John would have bacome great friends and would have been real close but for the tragedy. And if John hadn`t been bewitched by Yoko it could have happened earlier. John has a very deserving son and he could have been proud of Julian. I am sure he is.
In addition I listened to Oasis singing Stand By Me. I know the song but never thought of it as a cover of the famous one. Sometimes I ask my friends: What`s the matter with you? Sing me something new! - the words from that Oasis` song. I think that Liam looks like Lennon, at least some resemblance, the same could be said about his voice.
-
Again, the song is performed by Julian beautifully! I am starting to like Julian. But he isn`t popular, is he?
-
no only because he isn't promoted well....john doing dylan...

Woman.... my uncle used to laugh at the part "the little child inside a man" and my reaction was what's so funny ?. When i was a bit younger i asked what was the meaning of that line to my tutor and she didn't answer me back at all.
-
We all remain young inside. This is the best thing, some always feel it, some feel it from time to time.
What I appreciate very much is when a person doesn`t change, hopefully much in appearance, at least remains the same size, and in likes and preferences. After the Deep Purple concert I told about it some of the stuff, and those who are around 50 said: Yes, I remember the band, it was great, and the opera Jesus Christ...sung by Jan Gillan. I asked them why they didn`t go and they said something like: Well, the music is too hard, can`t listen to it now, have other things to do and so on. I guess other things mean TV and a comfortable armchair. People do change and that is very sad...One should keep the spirit young!
-
agreed......inside i'm still a teenager...... ;)
-
Right now I'm into finding as many different Lennon versions of Imagine as I can. I didn't even know he did so many live performances of it! And every one of them gets me. He was just so damn awesome. :'(

That's awesome. I had only ever heard the audio of it, so it's cool seeing it. Except there's Yoko front and center as usual. Kind of annoying after a while.

I haven't listened to A Day in the Life for a while. I mean, I've heard it so much. But it was on the radio this morning and I cannot believe how much it still affects me. I love it so much.
-
I'm still on an Imagine kick. Now it's covers. I love these two.
Neil's cover is amazing. One of the few who could pull it off with such emotion. But, I don't like the way he pronounces Imagine. UHmagine. That Canadian accent you know. ;) ;D
Z3T8xr274q8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3T8xr274q8)
I LOVE Elton's cover!! His voice was at it's peak. Amazing. Although he does schmaltz it up a bit at the end. Wonder if John was listening from the Dakota?

Yes, it`s better without Yoko, but I think we can still distinguish her voice at the end of the song. Anyway, for me it`s always better when only men sing.

Kinda counts.... I'm listening to Julia :) love it

If you could only choose one. Yeah I know it's impossible, but I pick Imagine.
-
I think I'd have to pick "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)". It's just perfect, and I get a lot of comfort from it. And I think it's the lullaby that John would have wanted from his father.

-
^^Beautiful Boy for me as well. It's such a gorgeous song, it almost never fails to make me tear up.
-
I agree with both of you, that song is just beautiful. The bit at the end of that song, where he sings, "I can hardly wait to see you to come of age, but I guess we'll both just have to be patient," destroys me every time.

Oh my gosh! Me too! I cried buckets the first time I heard it.

Yes! Beautiful Boy is my #1 too. It's so sweet and a lullabye to Julian in my eyes.
-
It makes me sad for John, but at the same time it's almost like it's for him... I bet he was thinking about his father when he wrote it too, not just what he wanted to say to Sean.
When I listen to it, it's like John comforting me, and I'm comforting John too. Hence I always sing the last line as "darling darling darling... darling John." :)

In no particular order the ones I like out the top of my head...
(I Was) Living On Borrowed Time - which was apparently written or gestated on a boat...
Woman - I like the stripped version...
Remember - It's very tight, Ringo kicks ass, I love the break "Don't you woooorry.." I think it goes.
I Know (I Know) - I don't really know why, it's a good melody I think, a good hook, good singing...
How? - Because I've always liked it, nice strings on it, I think everybody can relate to that at some point, a good sentiment...

I feel like a horrible person, not putting any of John's Double Fantasy songs on my list. I ought to ditch 'Mind Games' for ....'Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)'. Sometimes I have a hard time listening to that song. The line "I can hardly wait to see you come of age, but I guess we'll both just have to be patient" always cuts into me, cold and sharp.

Yeah, I feel the same whenever I listen to "Beautiful Boy". This line is truly heart-breaking...
