The Beatles – In My Life

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 :)

HD – Pokemon Theme Song – One-Man A Cappella Multitrack – Danny Fong

  • October 21, 2010 12:32 am

PLEASE VIEW IN HD – **Read description before asking questions please.

Just to clear up any confusion. I did use autotuning. There is NONE on the lead vocals or harmonies you might notice (or perhaps you are a person who believes autotune is strictly for people who can’t sing). I used autotune to create a “consistency of sound” for the backup vocals. I was ‘simulating real instruments’ in this song with my voice and to create the effect of an electric bass I used autotuning to help with the sound, NOT – to correct pitches that were wrong. You don’t have to believe me if you don’t want to, I’m just stating the truth if anyone wants to hear it.

Hey everybody! My apologies for not uploading any multitracks in the last couple months; I’ve been pretty busy with work and school. Here is my latest addition, the Pokemon Theme Song. While sitting around at work one day with my ipod, I listened to this like 20 times consecutively while picking apart chords and parts and decided I would multitrack it!

With a total of 58 different audio tracks (lots doubled or tripled) and LOTS of editing, I finished it :) . There is also 16 different video tracks that come in and out.

The recording and mostly editing took about a week’s worth of evenings to put together, so if you enjoy it, please forward this to your friends, it would mean a lot to me!

*ALL SOUNDS ON THIS RECORDING WERE MADE VOCALLY*

-The drum shots were transcribed and recorded shot for shot

A lot of different effects have been used on this recording. The guitar sounds have distortion and tape delays and everything has significant EQ’s as well… The drums are a prime example. Also some use of pitch shifting.. no I can’t sing that low lol.

No sheet music was used for this one (my first recording that was not transcribed to paper I think).

Here you can find my most recent multitracks!

Song Description:
“Party Like a Rockstar” is a rap song recorded by Shop Boyz. It was released as the first single from their debut album Rockstar Mentality (2007). It reached high success during summer 2007 and was successful in the United States, peaking in the top five on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot Rap Tracks, and Hot 100 charts.

The song is played with two electric guitar riffs (performed by Atlanta producer Billy Hume),It also makes references to certain rock figures such as Marilyn Manson, The Osbournes, Kiss, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Travis Barker.

For a time, “Party Like a Rockstar” was the most played rhythmic, and rap song in the United States, according to Radio & Records It was featured in the video game NBA Live 08.

The remix features Lil Wayne, Jim Jones and Chamillionaire with more guitar riffs included. Jim Jones’ verse didn’t make it to iTunes’ remix, although Lil Wayne’s verse and Chamillionaire’s verse did. Another unofficial remix has been produced by Lil Jon and the Swedish composer Jay Orpin, who also wrote the first remix, but had Lil’ Jon make changes for the beat for this remix. That remix has been unofficially called the Orpinz Old Duff WWE Remix because some feel it resembles a professional wrestlers entrance music. There is also a freestyle version by J. R. Writer of Dipset as well as a remix by Trina and another one by rapper Bow Wow.

Cristal Athena Steverson from VH1′s “Flavor of Love” and Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School appear in the song’s music video.

Junior Brown “Highway Patrol”

  • July 8, 2010 2:12 pm

See Music Videos http://www.bvmtv.com/ that you CAN’T See on You Tube ! +Live Chat and Embed video codes!

Jamieson “Junior” Brown (born June 12, 1952, Kirksville, Indiana) is an American country guitarist and singer from Cottonwood, Arizona.

In 1985 Junior invented a double-necked guitar, with some assistance from Michael Stevens. Junior called the instrument his “guit-steel”. When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lapsteel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two guit-steels for recording and live work.

The original instrument, dubbed “Old Yeller”, has as its standard 6-string guitar portion the neck and pickups from Brown’s previous stage guitar, a Fender Bullet. The second guit-steel, named “Big Red”, has a neck laser-copied from the Bullet neck, but in addition to electric guitar pickups, both the standard and lapsteel necks use an identical Sho-Bud lapsteel pickup. There is a pocket in the upper bout of the guitar to hold the slide bar when it is not in use. Brown quickly became a local success in Austin, Texas as the house band at the Continental Club. His debut album was 1993′s 12 Shades of Brown; it was followed by Guit with It later that year (1993 in music). Both albums cemented his reputation as one of the more critically acclaimed country performers of the 1990s.

NA LINGUI YO from STAFF BENDA BILILI

  • March 16, 2010 10:25 pm

Staff Benda Bilili are like nothing you have ever seen or heard before. A group of paraplegic street musicians who live in and around the grounds of the zoo in Kinshasa, Congo, they make music of astonishing power and beauty. The band’s mesmerising rumba-rooted grooves, overlaid with vibrant vocals, remind you at times of Cuban nonchalance, at other times of the Godfather of Soul himself. You can hear echoes of old-school rhythm and blues, then reggae, then no-holds barred funk. Four senior singer/guitarists sitting on spectacularly customized tricycles, occasionally dancing on the floor of the stage, arms raised in joyful supplication, are the core of the band, backed by a younger, all-acoustic, rhythm section pounding out tight beats. Over the top of this are weird, infectious guitar-like solos performed by young Roger Landu, (an ex-street kid the band took under their wing), who plays a one-string electric lute he designed and built himself out of a tin can.

The lyrics of the Staff Benda Bilili are wise, ironical advice to the people who live in the streets. In Lingala, “Benda Billi” means “look beyond appearances”.

Entitled “Très Très Fort” (‘Very Very Strong’… or ‘Very Very Loud’), their first album was produced by Vincent Kenis (already responsible for introducing and producing Konono N°1, Kasaï Allstars and the Congotronics series). The songs were recorded out in the open, mainly in the zoological garden near centre ville. The album will be released in Feb/March 2009.

The physical version of the album contains video bonuses directed by Belle Kinoise aka Florent de la Tullaye and Renaud Barret, who discovered the band while they were filming their “Jupiter’s Dance” documentary in Kinshasa. Florent and Renaud have been documenting the story of the band since 2004, and are working on a feature-length film devoted to the life of Staff Benda Bilili, from the sidewalks of Kinshasa to their (upcoming) first concerts in Europe.
