I love this song, which I consider a gift from John from heaven, as he had been dead about four years when it was released.

This was recorded as a demo by John in order to give over to Ringo Starr.  However, John died before this happened.  

The song is beautiful, and quite produced.  Sounds like more than a demo to me.  

Its probably my favorite of Johns right after 'Mind Games'

Great song- i dont reckon it would have been Ringo's cup of tea...

Quite surprised its a demo....

I mean, it really sounded finished!  So finished that I'm surprised it wasn't on the Double Fantasy album.

I'd rather see it as a cash-moment from Yoko.

I'd rather see it as a reminder of what we lost.

Is this the song "Nobody told me there'd be days like these ..."?

If so .... I didn't realize, had forgotten, it hadn't come out with Double Fantasy. I always thought it was a great finished song!

I've always liked "Watching the Wheels go Round" also.

This is a great song, and talks about his U.F.O. experience.
It doesn't sound like a demo, thank God.
It was recorded in 6 & 8 August 1984, so easly would be included on Double Fantasy.

Hello Buttmunker. You branded Paul's solo career as soft rock. I'd be interested in the catagory you'd place this little gem? All in the name of good conversation of course. (you're labels do fascinate me.)

Unfortunately the version on 'Working Class Hero' is strangely instrumental. It sounds like a jam in a rehearsal studio with poor sound quality. It does though, sound like it would have benefited from being given to Bruce Springsteen.

For the name of good conversation (that's a first), I'd consider "Nobody Told Me" the pinnacle of 80's rock.  It blended seamlessly with the likes of Hall & Oates, Toto, and Quarterflash.  The thing about it is, unless someone pointedly told you it was John Lennon, the listener wouldn't have guessed it to be so.  Okay, maybe that's bullshit, but I'm telling you here and now that it was perfect for the time it was released in 1984.  It was obviously recorded five years earlier (1979-80), but it doesn't sound dated.  It has a fresh, funky-rock sound.
