Abbey Roadworks Demo Mega-Mix

Would you be my cover
And spread yourself all over me?
While I'm singing for my supper
With a blanket on my knee

No. Don't read my fortune
No. You won't believe it
It's been blown 
Out of all proportion
I was never absent without leave

No. You don't fit in
Yeah. It sounds all wrong
You try but you can't sing it
No. It's not your song

You know ...
At the startout
I didn't get a ticket or receipt
I don't need to make an effort
I can do it in my sleep

You can whistle for the ravens
But the gulls will come to seek
All the rubbish on the beaches
And the driftwood in the creeks




Be my cover

Still got the blues, still don't know why
why the lord chose me 
to put tears in my eyes

Still got the pain
But  can't find no wound
Tell my sweetheart
Send a doctor up to my room

I still got the blues
But I can't find no wound
Doctor please send my sweetheart up to my room


Still got the Blues

YOUNG MAN&#39;S HEART - THE SHEIKS (1)

MIDNIGHT RIDE - HOI POLLOI

With Apple’s announcement that Peter Jackson will be reworking the Let It Be footage, we go back to the actual sessions to examine this period from George Martin’s perspective. Martin and The Beatles advanced the use of the recording studio in a variety of creative ways, but what would happen if they took away their method of building a recording with layers of intricate overdubs and played everything live? On the Get Back/Let It Be project, the Beatles did just that, setting aside the recording process they had developed with their producer over the previous six years. But without “production,” what was Martin’s role in this project? How much was he actually there? And who actually produced these sessions?

PRODUCING THE BEATLES

008 Get Back

One of my favourite Lawrence songs, probably his most melancholic(and he's written a few!) I helped finish it off as usual ('cos he lets me), and it being mid-90's (I think) and still being heavily influenced by "The Juliet Letters" (and "She's Leaving Home" and "Yesterday", of course) I attempted a string quartet arrangement -well, the kind of string quartet arrangement you have when you can't afford a real quartet, let alone write the notes down. My piano interpretation of Lawrence's fabulously strange chords are pretty good tho', if i don't say so myself. 

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE (2)

Un homenaje fiel al estilo Lennon de sus canciones como solista jamás publicadas ni grabadas en estudio (a faithful tribute to Lennon's unrecorded and unpublished solo songs).
Octavio Cavalli: production, sound engineer, instruments & vocals, mix and master.

04-Solitude

Written by Marcus Phelan, sung by Justine Harrison, from the album "Another Fine Mess" (2000)

NO USE COMPLAINING COS I'VE MADE UP MY MIND
LIFE WITH YOU IS BORING SO STOP WASTING MY TIME
I'M GETTING OUT
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
I'M GETTING OUT
GET OUT OF MY WAY

YOUR VOICE IS ANNOYING AND YOUR FACE IS A SIN
YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE SOMETHING THAT THE CAT HAS DRAGGED IN
I'M GETTIN OUT
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
I'M GETTING OUT
GET OUT OF MY WAY

I COULD FAKE IT FOR A WHILE
GRITTED TEETH BEHIND THE SMILE
BUT NOW I'VE HAD ENOUGH
YOUR TIME IS UP

NO USE PRETENDING THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT'S NOT THAT I'VE STOPPED BUYING
I'M JUST CHANGING MY BRAND
I'M GETTING OUT
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
I'M GETTING OUT
GET OUT OF MY WAY

GETTING OUT - THE ALLNITERS
