A Day In The Life - The Truth At Last!

[Herecomesyoursun]

I hear paul, doing john.  theres the rastpyness of Johns voice, but on the higher notes, i hear pauls voice revealing itself.  paul for me.

[zipp]

Why would Paul do John when John was there to do it himself?

[The End]

Perhaps it was just convenient - remember they were only working with 4 tracks and the "aaahhhs" had much more delay than the lead vocal. Paul had earlier recorded his "woke up" segment with loads of delay on it also (an out-take does exist which proves this), maybe the "aaahs" were a continuation of that take.

I know it's a lot of maybes, but one thing is certain - it's Paul!

Paul's voice was in 'mono' (in the middle), John was singing in 'stereo' (left-right, right-left). So I still think it's John who sings it.

[The End]

The placement of the vocal wasn't arrived at until the stereo mix-down stage - this is when John's vocal was panned across the stereo image. There are various mixes available which show there was some experimentation with the placement of the vocals. So... I don't think the "middle" and "left/right" argument gives weight to either argument.

But it's Paul I tells ya!

[Bruno]

yeah, it's definitely Paul

[Ydoll Gwyn]

But it's Paul I tells ya!

And ... I tells ya ... it's John!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

As a matter of fact, I have been playing this part of the song to several people who are familiar with the Beatles' work. ALL say it is clearly Lennon. One woman made the observation that some people like to be perverse, for the sake of appearing clever.

I tend to agree with her there. I'm not implying you, or anyone else in particular, is in that boat. But some certainly are.

I wasn't going to post this, but then I saw you had re-asserted your opinion, so I though I'd re-assert mine.

Why is it Paul? LOL

[An Apple Beatle]

I still think it's John. Surprised this is not a voted topic!!

[Lostio]

Why is it Paul? LOL

Because it's not John.

I hear Paul as well. I dunno, but comparing the higher notes of Paul and the higher notes of John with this 'aaaaaaaaaaaah', Paul's notes sound more like it.

[An Apple Beatle]

I still hear Johns nasalness shining through. lol

[Mendips]

It's GEORGE!!!!!!!!







Sorry! I agree with HereComes, It sounds to me like Paul doing John, but that's just my humble opinion.

[Ydoll Gwyn]

At this rate, it will turn out that it was really Paul doing all John's singing. Paul sings Help, SFF, Walrus, AHDN, Rain, Come Together, Ballad of John & Yoko, ....

I'm surprised that claim hasn't been made by Paul's Pals already! After all, Paul is a better drummer than Ringo, better guitarist than George, better writer than John, ...

[The End]

No need to start any further unecessary debates!

[sexy sadie]
