There's A Place

Yeah, he knew how he wanted it to sound ... much better than Little Child, Hold Me Tight and all that stuff ... those were worse fillers than There's A Place or Misery, for example ...


There's A Place? Filler? You are a fool.

yeah you made your point mister roxa. but masteroffaster is right. theres a place is surely not a filler. in fact and im sure you know that it was the first song they recorded for the album. if it was really a filler i suspect they would record it later somehow. they must have been eager to play this song and let mr martin have a listen to it.

We're going off topic, I'm afraid  ::) ... but what it's cretainly not a filler is Twist And Shout ... they all knew it (the group and Sir George too) and they recorded it at the end of the day so I can't see your point ... was There's A Place just a "warm-up" song for that recording session? ... please, don't answer this question because it's an off-topic question ...

Yes, obviously ... you want to be right but you've got no evidences: so the order of the recording is important but it's not ... grow up ... and go on topic, please ...

This track is a gem! It seemed so simple the first few time i heard it.. but it's really different than the rest of that album. I was listening to the track and i was blown away with the bridge "in my mind there's no sorrow don't you know that it's true..." part it seemed a real indication of where they would go later on

Yes, I like that middle eight a lot too!

Funny, on my VJ record with that song it sounded like the tape machine was wobbly, or maybe perhaps (gasp!) they were singing out of tune, especially on the "Theeeerre is a place".

I think it sounds different on whatever CD I've got it on (Please Please Me? Rarities?).

I agree.
I think it's a stand out track on Please Please Me - the lead vocal lines by both Lennon & Mccartney are amazing.
Ian Macdonald in 'Revolution in the Head' tears it apart ... lord knows why?!
From the catchy harmonica/bass intro riff, the song strives to a great beat by Ringo.

Agree with everything said so far. It's an overlooked little gem of a song.

To me, it has always been an amazing song and one that didn't really fit in on Please Please Me. It's ahead of its time and a sign of things to come.

It's a very good track, one of their lost gems i think & the lyrics are very very good!
even then Lennon was expressing himself well!  :)

Quite right!  There's A Place is one of my favorite early tracks.  It's an introspective piece, quite different than their love songs of the period.  This song clearly influenced Brian Wilson's In My Room.

I agree, great song that is different than the rest on the album.  Really shows in their early stages how good they were and how good they would become.

 Just wondering if anyone else thinks this great song sounds out of place on the 'please please me' album ? it sounds like the stuff they were coming out with around ' Hard days night.

The Greatest thing about this song is there vocals are immense, and its great how Lennons does the lows and Macca does the Highs (extremely) but half way through Lennons voice gets higher and Macca's drops down to below Lennons.
