The Beatles – In My Life

  • July 15, 2011 12:26 pm

The Beatles – In My Life 1965

“In My Life” is a song by The Beatles written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The song originated with Lennon, and while McCartney contributed to the final version, the extent of his contribution is in dispute. Released on the 1965 album Rubber Soul, it is ranked 23rd on the Rolling Stone article “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”, and placed second on CBC’s 50 Tracks. Mojo magazine named it the best song of all time in 2000.

According to Lennon, the song’s origins can be found when English journalist Kenneth Allsop made a remark that Lennon should write songs about his childhood. Afterwards, Lennon wrote a song in the form of a long poem reminiscing on his childhood years. The original version of the lyrics was based on a bus route he used to take in Liverpool, naming various sites seen along the way, including Penny Lane and Strawberry Field.

The song was recorded on 18 October 1965, and was complete except for the instrumental bridge. At that time, Lennon had not decided what instrument to use, but he subsequently asked George Martin to play a piano solo, suggesting “something Baroque-sounding”. Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song’s tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded at half-tempo (one octave lower) and tape speed was doubled for the final recording, solving the performance challenge and giving the piano solo a unique, harpsichord-like timbre.

* John Lennon — double-tracked vocal, rhythm guitar
* Paul McCartney — harmony vocal, bass, electric piano[A]
* George Harrison — harmony vocal, lead guitar
* Ringo Starr — drums, tambourine, bells[B]
* George Martin — piano

In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Enjoy :)

The Beatles- Because

  • June 30, 2011 2:44 pm

One of the best examples of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison’s harmonizing, Because.

The song begins with electric harpsichord played by George Martin and then joined by Lennon’s guitar doubling the harpsichord and played through a Leslie speaker. Vocals and bass guitar enter in what Alan Pollack calls the “mini-bridge.”

The song was one of the few Beatles songs to include an analog synthesizer arrangement (although analog keyboards such as the Mellotron had been used often by The Beatles, few songs featured the use of a traditional analog synthesizer with voltage-controlled oscillators). The Beatles at the time of Abbey Road were among the first contemporary rock bands to experiment with the Moog synthesizer (the first, or at least the first to chart on the top 40, had been The Monkees).

According to Lennon, “Because” was inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata”. “Yoko was playing Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’ on the piano … I said, ‘Can you play those chords backwards?’, and wrote ‘Because’ around them. The lyrics speak for themselves … No imagery, no obscure references.”

The main recording session for “Because” was on 1 August 1969, with vocal overdubs on 4 August, and a Moog synthesizer overdub by George Harrison on 5 August. As a result, this was the last song on the album to be committed to tape, although there were still overdubs for other incomplete songs.

A vocals-only version of the song can be found on Anthology 3 and Love and is an example of three part harmony from Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, although the latter is slowed down and includes quiet nature sound effects. Both versions include the ‘Ahh’ at the beginning. This song appears in the movie “American Beauty” where it is dramatically placed right after the last words of the film.

The Byrds-”Mr. Tambourine Man”-Frankie Avalon-5/11/65

  • May 17, 2011 6:20 am

The Byrds SECOND time on TV, EVER!

The band made their televison debut just three days before this broadcast, 5/8/65 on “Shivaree”.

This is a very interesting video for many reasons.

First, Gene Clark is on a Fender Xll 12 string guitar (As opposed to Tambourine), Gene & David’s vocal mics are not in the mix until the second chorus.

AND; the coolest anecdote of all:

If you listen carefully, you can hear Gene Clark’s barritone vocal part in the second chorus during “In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come following you”.

This part was NOT on the record; reason being is that Gene’s vocals were on the same track as Leon Russell’s electric piano, which was taken out of the mix.

The vocals here are LIVE, while the music is the recorded backing track.

Another noteworthy point; Roger McGuinn isn’t even pretending to “Sinc” his guitar part correctly, by playing his famous “Scruggsy picking style”, but rather strumming in earnest. :-)

Watch Gene Clark butt in on Frankie Avalon!!

MAS – Ricky Martin

  • May 9, 2011 8:57 am

nueva cancion del cantante puertorriqueño Ricky Martin de su nuevo material discografico Musica Alma Sexo.

(Muévelo)
(Súbelo)

Tico era un Boricua de Manhattan
Cantaba en el subway
Con su beat box y su electric guitar
Por las noches era DJ
Se paraban en las sillas
Y el ponía el mundo a girar

Que bellos tiempos
Cuando se bailaba hasta morir
Saltando al cielo
Con ésa locura de vivir

(Coro)
Hay que pedirle
Más más más a la vida
Que sea hasta que se apague el sol
Y la luna
Y que no importe
Más más más lo que digan
Como si fuera la la última noche
De tus días

Muévelo
Muévelo llévalo pa’ arriba
Súbelo
Súbelo con adrenalina
Gózalo
Gózalo que tu cuerpo pida
Muévelo

Martica era una chica de Miami
Que siempre soñaba
Ser modelo y conquistar Nueva York
Maquillada todo el día
Los tacones le dolían
Y la coronamos reina del show

Que bellos tiempos
Cuando se bailaba hasta morir
Saltando al cielo
Con esa locura de vivir

Coro (x2)

Nunca te detengas
Haz lo que tú sientas
Sigue tu destino
Fuera del camino

Lyrics:
Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Whats me name
Tell me, baby, whats my name

Hotel California – The Eagles (1976)

  • January 29, 2011 8:44 am

“Hotel California” was the title song from the 1976 album of the same name by the American rock band The Eagles and was released as a single in February 1977. It is one of the best-known songs of the album-oriented rock era. Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh. “Hotel California” topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for one week in May 1977. Three months after its release, the single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America representing 1,000,000 records shipped. The Eagles also won the 1977 Grammy Award for Record of the Year for “Hotel California” at the 20th Annual Grammy Awards in 1978. In 2009, the song “Hotel California” was certified Platinum (Digital Sales Award) by the RIAA for sales of 1,000,000 digital downloads. The song is rated highly in many rock music lists and polls. Rolling Stone magazine, for example, placed it as the 49th greatest song of all time. It is also one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The song’s guitar solo is ranked 8th on Guitar Magazine’s Top 100 Guitar Solos. As one of the group’s most popular and well-known songs, “Hotel California” has been a concert staple for the band since its release. “Hotel California” was an album released by The Eagles in December 1976. It is the first Eagles album without founding member Bernie Leadon and the first album with Joe Walsh. It is also the last album featuring original bass player and singer Randy Meisner. “Hotel California” was The Eagles’ fifth album of original material and became a critical success and a major commercial hit. Since its release, it has sold over 16 million copies in the U.S. alone. The album was at #1 for eight weeks in early 1977 (non-consecutively). The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1971 by Glenn Frey (born November 6, 1948), Don Henley (born July 22, 1947), Bernie Leadon (born July 19, 1947) and Randy Meisner (born March 8, 1946). The band’s membership over the years has also included Don Felder (born September 21, 1947), Timothy B. Schmit (born October 30, 1947) and Joe Walsh (born November 20, 1947). With five number one singles and six number one albums, The Eagles were one of the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)” and “Hotel California”, ranked among the 20 best-selling albums in the U.S. ever. The Eagles broke up in July 1980, but reunited in 1994 for “Hell Freezes Over”, a mix of live and new studio tracks. They have toured intermittently since then, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. This channel is dedicated to the classic rock hits that have become part of the history of our culture. The incredible AOR tracks that define music from the late 60s, the 70s and the early 80s . . .
