A Day In The Life - The Truth At Last!

[Sondra]

There has been a great deal of debate surrounding just who sang the "aaaaaahhs" after Paul's line "somebody spoke and I went into a dream" from A Day In The Life.

Now you can judge for yourselves - I've uploaded the two clips!! Please let me know what you think.

I've read that it was both of them. Anyone else ever read that or am I imagining it?

Oh well. Just wanted to know if there was a definitive answer. Guess not. I know it's not John by himself anyway. I think it's dumb that we can't discuss this ever again. If someone ever finds any new information, I hope they don't hesitate to post it. I asked the question months before that whole ridiculous fiasco anyway and nothing ever came of it. It's got to be somewhere this info.

I don't have to look back on this thread, I remember it well and it was mostly about male ego instead of getting to the truth. I just listened again and cannot say without a doubt that it's one or the other. One minute I hear Paul and the next John. But mostly Paul. Either way it gives me the freaking chills. I absolutly love those aaahhhs. BTW, Paul can do a damn good imitation of John as we know from Anthology's Real Love.

It's Paul.  It's in Paul's section of the song.  It's his crescendo.  Why would he let John do it after he's built up to that point.  

The line is also melodically very Pauline--by way of Brian Wilson.  It follows the notes pretty carefully.  John would slide and elide more.  Paul is precise.  

There's usually more honey in Paul's voice, more ice in John's.  You can hear the "taste of honey" in the Ahhhs.

Ah. Sorry! I didn't remember that post. Thanks fo reposting it. Guess it got lost in all the other stuff.

[Sondra]

Wait, where's it from? Do they know for sure it's John's ahh's and Paul's ooo? It could be John's ooo's and Paul's aahh's for all we know....

Boy, you all have been really going at it on this! I got a pair of Altec Lansing speakers on my comp. which are not shabby, and I still think it can go either way. Somebody needs to ask Paul himself. How 'bout you App?

It's Paul.
