[Hello Goodbye]

Listening carefully, you can actually hear Paul slightly rush the vocal; he even adds a little 'ah' to the end of the word 'dream,' giving it a very clipped ending."

That "little 'ah'" is actually Paul drawing a breath before he does the ahhs...

[Hello Goodbye]

And I've heard the argument that the ahhs sound nasal so it must be John.  But remember, Paul is "The Man of a Thousand Voices..."

...but nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make

I think it's Mal.

That's because he was already dead by then.

Miss him...miss him...miss him

It is said that the final chord was produced by all four Beatles and George Martin banging on three pianos simultaneously.  As the sound diminished, the engineer boosted to faders.  The resulting note lasts 42 seconds; the studio air conditioners can be heard toward the end as the faders were pushed to the limit to record it.  A creaking musician's chair is also heard during the final piano chord.

But this is what really happened...

You've got to hand it to that Paul McCartney.  He really knows his job.

I suppose being hit by a piano is a pretty key event..
