A Day In The Life - The Truth At Last!

Well the right rear one sounds like it could be either of them and the left rear one sounds like Paul then turning into John. But Paul could do that stuff so it could very well be him the whole time. Although I do think Lennon is in there somewhere. I'M STILL SO CONFUSED!!!!!!!! But man do I enjoy listening to that part isolated! Why didn't anyone ever ask Paul this in an interview!! They've asked him just about everything else!!!

I would laugh so hard if it turned out to be George.

I think it's Paul, regardless of Mr. Charlie's evidence.

I would fall out of my chair if it was Ringo!

I would laugh so hard if it turned out to be George.

LOL!

It almost could be!

I would laugh so hard if it turned out to be George.

LOL! Me too!

LOL!!! Now that would really be messing with our heads!!!


The more I listen, the right rear one sounds more like Paul starting as well. But I still think John's following him up. Just because it gets more nasal and high pitched. But again, Paul's voice was pretty versitile. Like the Lovely Rita thing someone mentioned. Similiar. Anyway, dontcha just LOVE this song?? It should be given some kinda special award for greatest song of all time or something. Cuz it is.

This is all so funny...It still sounds like John to me. It's the nasalness in the arhhhh!!!

For what it's worth, I used to teach singing. Those clips seem to re-affirm my own inclinations that it is John. Check out the coarseness. It just don't sound like Paul. Paul would have not allowed any croak in his voice I'm sure. lol.

Still...I'm not confirming nothing....That would be tooo risky on this thread! lol

Thanks for your honesty.  I'm not going after anyone who says what they hear.  Only one person who's opinion is worthless anyway.

I -am- surprised that a voice professional would make that mistake but hey...we know Paul was able to double John's voice (and vice versa) for years.  Isolated it is cleaerer than the record but still...tantaliyzingly alike.

I wish it would turn out to be Ringo! haha

Having listened to the two pieces, referencing Mark Lewisohn's book about the quadruple tracking of echo used for John's voice, and that John is hitting notes a little high for his particular register, Its John. I'm pretty certain that if 'Lucy' had been done with as much echo, as high as John's voice is, it would probably be reminiscent of Paul's as well. If you want to believe its Paul, so be it, no harm done. Easy mistake, but its clearly John's voice. Amen.

Fair enough.  I think you're wrong of course, but the bit about Lucy IS a provacative mention worth noting.  Yes, he did sing in that register in Lucy.  Same as Paul did in Lovely Rita.

I appreciate your honest input.  I shan't bother you about it again.

I think this whole topic is one of the best we've had on this forum for ages!

This is so weird - I absolutely hear Paul 100% without a question of doubt. Obviously, that is what I[/b] hear though!

I thought these clips would dispel any doubts... wrong! LOL

Perhaps this wiill help convince you...

1. On an earlier take Paul runs through his "woke up..." sequence (the take which ends with Paul flubbing his line and laughing before he says "shit") his vocal is drenched in tape delay (echo) ala Lennon. So it wasn't just a John thing to record in this style.

Im lsitening to A Day In life on my Ipod on repeat! I love this song even more!

[Sondra]

Now I'm gonna have to go listen to Lucy and Rita and come back to the isolated Ahhhs!!
