Opening track to "The Beatles Scrapbook - Vol. 1," the largely anticipated album of rare Beatles' recordings produced by Mick Lalonde.

GET BACK (The Beatles Scrapbook - Vol. 1)

They told me: look into the mirror once again,
stare into your eyes, don’t look away, my friend.
Search within your soul with honesty,
you’ll feel the need to simply be.

But I stared too long at a well so dark,
another mirror where I lost my spark.
At times I fell with courage in my veins,
at times I found just walls and chains.

And I’ve seen faces dressed as lambs,
but wolves were hiding in their hands.

Though it may sound like an anomaly,
men are stained with fear and cowardly.
Betrayal carried deep between their teeth,
for envy, for money, they sell you beneath.

To the devils who claim they are good,
to the traitors who’d see you subdued,
to the ones who would silence your voice,
dark souls who feast on your fear and your void.

It feels like things are out of control,
the planet’s bleeding, heading to the fall.
But traitors don’t care, they want you chained,
a slave to the lies that they engrained.

The TV tells you how to think and pray,
waste your life on nothing day by day.
The people blame themselves in vain,
while waiting for saviors who never came.

And I’ve seen faces dressed as lambs,
but wolves were hiding in their hands.

Though it may sound like an anomaly,
men are stained with fear and cowardly.
Betrayal carried deep between their teeth,
for envy, for money, they sell you beneath.

To the devils who claim they are good,
to the traitors who’d see you subdued,
to the ones who would silence your voice,
dark souls who feast on your fear and your void.

And when the world begins to break apart,
no water left, despair in every heart…
I hope you’ll remember what I said,
my smile will haunt you: I told you ahead.

History repeats, the flood returns,
another Noah’s tale to learn.


Though it may sound like an anomaly,
men are stained with fear and cowardly.
Betrayal carried deep between their teeth,
for envy, for money, they sell you beneath.

To the devils who claim they are good,
to the traitors who’d see you subdued,
to the ones who would silence your voice,
dark souls who feed on your fear and your void.

I hope you’ll think of me,
when it all comes crashing down,
you who spent your days trying to drown my voice.

I hope you’ll remember what I said

[Verse 1]
Can't say if I'm lost in a dream,
Or if the morning light's just too keen.
Is it time, my love, to spread its wings and soar away?

[Verse 2]
She's gone, no chains on me now,
My heart, once hers, to the world I vow.
To the women whose paths cross mine, listen to my call.

[Chorus]
Now I'm free, love flows like a river,
My heart's open, love to deliver.

[Verse 3]
Blues in the night, guitar in my hand,
Singing my story, across the land.
Love's not just mine to keep, it's mine to give away.

[Verse 4]
Tears have dried, my eyes see clear,
To love again, I have no fear.
In every note I play, my heart's true song I'll convey.

[Chorus]
Now I'm free, love flows like a river,
My heart's open, love to deliver.

[Outro]
In the end, it's love that we choose,
Sharing my heart, I've got nothing to lose.
With every breath, I'm singing my blues away.

Love To Deliver

Fifty years ago today the British invaded the US and changed the course of rock history. In celebration I've been working on a musical art project called, "Come Together with The Beatles and Friends" It's a remix/mashup album that combines the Beatles original vocals with a multitude of cover versions from fellow artists spanning the last 50 years. Basically, I sat down and hit play on everything at once. With a little editing and finesse this is what popped out. Listen to what's old in a new way, sing along, and share it with your parents. Sincerely, Jeff Drew (The Quick Brown Fox)

A Hard Days Night

I learned this song off of the Abbey Road album. I played all the guitars first, using the Marblehead Imperial guitar played through my Vox amplifier. I think I did the bass next. The organ was played on the Nord Electro 4D. The "white noise" sound was done on the Yamaha M06 and I did all the vocals using the Lewitt microphone. (I also recorded the guitar tracks using the Lewitt mic.) The drums were Session Drummer, Funk Kit. 

I listened to Abbey Road with my headphones one day, and then I started to hear myself covering this song.
