Thank you for compiling all these recordings and for your modest enhancements. John sounds so sweet and innocent in this raw portrait
Thank you so much 💓
You hear the "you-hoo-ooh" from Imagine on If I Fell! Mind-blowing!
My two favorite Lennon songs. What a miraculous thing it is to have these recordings.
wow you're right
4:53
Sounds like Tiny Tim.
I didn't catch that! Makes me think he was going for a Supremes-esque vocal fill, I wonder if he had them in mind at the piano doing "imagine", that'd be lovely
I’m a songwriter who’s very influenced by The Beatles, and it’s very comforting to know that even John Lennon had to work & work on his songs to get them just right. These tapes are absolutely fascinating.
i can never get bored listening to John. i love him so much
Me too. He's my absolute hero!!
I feel the same way.
There’s just something about John. His voice. His songs. I can’t believe this exists on KZhead! He’s just fooling around and writing my favorite songs of all time. Such a treat for a fan and songwriter. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely get what you said. It's such a surrealist feeling to know that we as fans have the chance to listen these private recordings and how a masterpiece like Strawberry Fields was developed. Truly a privilege.
We’re taught to sing from the diaphragm but Lennon sang from the heart and from a mind that knew the imagery of wonderful dreams .
Watching She Said, She Said being born is pretty amazing. I imagine he must have really felt that one when it clicked.
Love your comment.
It’s really something :)
It's truly mad how long the songwriting process was for Strawberry Fields - it really was his magnum opus
Incorrectly attributed to Lennon and McCartney when it should have been attributed to Lennon & Martin as with I am the Walrus too.
@@Neil-AspinallPaul had a lot to do with those songs, he wrote the intro to Strawberry Fields
It almost sounds like Lennon is quietly crying while singing If I Fell, well thanks Lennon know I am too.
Pissed, I think?
@@georgejamestaylor7572agree he sounds pissed lol
Even johns piano playing has its own unique signature..
so true.
I was going to say 'so true' but someone already has. May I second their comment.
The opening chords and melody of If I Fell are a bit of genius from an unschooled musician… it’s a very unusual progression and really shows what a natural talent he was.
I’d say Unconventional rather than unschooled. He knew what sounded good in his head.
@@johnmc3862 He was completely unschooled in respect of musical theory - he could play a few chords and that was about it. Same for McCartney too. The intro progression is not typical diatonic harmony, he’s changing keys in quite a sophisticated way without knowing the formal technicalities of how to achieve that. That’s what I meant by a natural talent, a genius in fact. But he certainly wasn’t an ‘educated’ musician.
Yeah. I think "If I Fell" is the first song where Beatles (Lennon in this case) showed that they were more than a great rock´n roll band. It´s much more sophisticated harmonically and melodically. Then of course Rubber Soul came and proved it even further with songs like In My Life, Norwegian Wood, Girl, Nowhere Man, Michelle.
That’s when his trained ears came into play ✌️❤️
@@comedyriff5231 I think that distinction goes to "Not A Second Time" or even "From Me to You" due to their unusual bridges
love John forever and always
What did we ever do, before KZhead? What a treasure trove!
all this stuff was just sitting somewhere gong unheard. it's absolutely incredible the access we have now.
tapes & bootlegs trading
@@Dave_Albright yes, true. But that was such a comparatively small number of folks
Growing up my dad talked about a box set of tapes he had with some of these demos, interviews and john talking on them
I love how She Said She Said just started off as a regular 60's folk ditty before evolving severely into what it became
Simply John Lennon... The greatest
Love hearing these raw expressions from a musical titan.
A titan - a good word for John. He was.
the development of Strawberry Fields is mind blowing, bit by bit the masterpiece is made
RIP my favorite beatle i hope everything is not too bad wherever you are, may your energy travel through the cosmos forever
An absolutely beautiful comment ...
He’s in good hands
that What Goes On demo is so Dylan sounding
This tape is priceless. Nothing in the world could be better than this. John is my favorite Beatle because of his voice/passion and his lyric style. A million thanks for sharing.
Protejan este video a toda costa
Absolutely love that first version of Strawberry Fields. The genius seems to just pluck masterpieces out of thin air. Love John!
This like heaven.
I agree.
Julia é de cortar o coração e ao mesmo tempo uma preciosidade
Good heavens! That demo for "If I Fell..." so vulnerably beautiful. And... I never thought I'd say this, but..... The Good Morning demo is maybe a better idea arrangement wise than the recording.
Pure genius
The "Good Morning" take from Anthology is way better than the final cut.
it hurts my ears. so bad.
Lennon's creative genius, songwriting skills and vocal range stand out here. Not just that he can conceptualize on a higher and more original plane than most people, but he can start out with a very conventual musical framework and refine it progressively into a Beatles classic. It's eerie to hear his home recordings from the 1960's, almost like visiting a high school chum, and then to think how ordinary he seemed here vs. his immense fame and tragic ending in 1980.
It was the mixture of chords from different keys that made these songs so good. Helped to write the melodies too.
His process was letting the tape run and using it as a notebook. These guys were not able to play a song in 24 keys.. but were brilliant in their own way. And, John left room for input from Paul.. and george, Ringo.. and of course G Martin.. altogether a remarkable document from one of the greatest if all time. He was essentially a rock n roller.. with the feel of a folk musician .. the ordinariness of it all is striking, refreshing. These are diamonds waiting to be refined.
could you ellaborate on the 24 keys part u mean they only knew a few music keys? if so that's even crazier
Interesting to see all the equipment John had at home to record these demos, including several reel to reels. Fast forward 10 years to his Dekota home and he appeared to have used just a single cassette recorder for Free As A Bird, Now and Then and Double Fantasy demos etc.
I just love (abd niss) him. That voice and those songs are magnificent! 💟☮️💟☮️
If I fell was a good from the start
Genius at work.
Exactly.
This is just so damn awesome. Wow.
This is gold. Lennon is the best artist ever along with Da Vinci
John Lennon was one of the greatest artists in history.
@@tjcint Of course he was. As leaders of a humanist and cultural revolution in the arts, they transcended this world to the dome of geniuses.
To the person who made this video .. thank you, thank you, thank you ...
The perceverence, tenacity, craft and commitment that goes into the preworking of these songs to get them complete is nearly always lost on the first time listener of a Beatle tune...and for the old and true Beatle fan this is like looking behind the wizards curtain...and yet seeing that there is still magic...even behind it
I can’t believe your comment has only got one like so far! Beautifully put.
Esto es para todos los que amamos al loco, GRACIAS.......
My Hero
Well wonderful early music John and Paul did. Oh miss you John.
Especially John...
John and Paul both self taught genius musicians
Unbelievable! It's amazing to see how he created immortal songs. He literally created these great hits out of NOTHING.
@vivito You say 'Thats not true'. Wrong. It is true.
Thank you so much for sharing this
The Primordial Ooze from which some of the world's most brilliant music emerges...
Wow, this really insightful to his guitar playing
Yoko singing about the baby's heartbeat (Oh My Love) is rather 😢
Wow that early version of "Oh my love" almost sounds like a bossa nova chord progression.
didnt know yoko could sing like that
You are the man. Thank you for taking the time to do all of this. Never realized he had so many home recordings before the 70s.
How am I just now hearing this? wow
Once again, I find myself listening to the sketches that eventually became absolute masterpieces. How did they do it? It seems that it comes from inspiration, and then afterwards an incredible amount of patience and blood sweat and tears. Sitting in a room, by yourself, thinking about one of the other two lads, that just played you a masterpiece and saying to yourself, I have to make this song just as good as Paul’s or George’s, and hopefully even better. The pressure those guys must’ve felt is phenomenal, but the energy that was sent from their fans in the direction of their souls Must’ve been like Manna from heaven. There’s one other thing that I’d like to mention. Unlike most other songwriters of their generation, they were able to take songs that were usually written, using a six string acoustic guitar and transform them into songs meant for electric guitars, synthesizers, drums, and bass, with exceptional vocals with multiple voices and harmony. The thing is with the Beatles the end product sounds better than the initial creation. With the Beatles, the end product sounds more authentic. It’s so weird, because with a lot of musicians, the song sounds more authentic played with an acoustic guitar by itself, which was the way that the song was written: on a six string acoustic guitar
Lennon had a wonderful voice I have read, however, that he didn't really like his voice. But it was magnificent.
This is a remarkably great piece of curated Lennon! Well done to the OP!🌌🌠
Since the big shiny release of the Esher demos I've been spending quality time with recordings like these. Thank you for sharing these here. I'm struck by how much his songs changed over time. Just heard the "mind games" demo released the other day on spotify, same thing, almost a different song. He must've had a sense, like Dylan talks about, that songs need not stay in one shape and can freely expand and contract depending on the mood or anything at all. I'm betting this is partly what made staying in The Beatles so hard for Lennon. "strawberry fields" was mentioned in the "Lives of John Lennon" as never hitting the sweet spot for him, I bet that he didn't like needing to play a song the same way over and over, probably wanted songs to keep changing. These are lovely.
Amazing
The most creative human that I’ve ever seen. Him and Dylan and Paul and Robbie Robertson are my Rushmore
The anthology was great but this is fly on the wall great! What an amazing creative process I never thought I'd be so fortunate to hear. Thanks for putting this up!
Estou muito emocionada e feliz ao mesmo instante por ter a oportunidade de ouvir essa voz inconfundível que é a John Lennon. Ele era suave qdo queria e sabia fazer isso com mastria. Obrigado por me proporcionar esse privilégio. Thank you so much!!
The trippy attic room mellotron stuff is FAAARR out. What an amazing insight into John's acid brain 🧠
A treasure trove of a video !! Thank you so much!!
Seconded.
Those mellotron overdubs on Strawberry Fields sounds amazing
As a learning guitarist these recordings are inspirational. Such a precious insight into the process of mastering the instrument and the art of performing It's too easy when we're sitting and practicing alone to become disillusioned that we can never sound like our heroes. However hearing these familiar songs in their 'undeveloped' state gives us an achievable waypoint on the journey towards mastery, just as the songs themselves developed from their rough conception to the fully produced studio recordings.
Thank you so so much...❤
The world changed when John left. And not for the better. Ask anyone who was there before and after. Thank god we still have the music, the clearest picture into the man's soul.
I absolutely love your comment.
Gold mine !
Fantastické 👏👏♥️♥️ Moc ráda jsem si poslechla Johnova dema, nejvíce se mi líbila Dont Let Me Down a Julia ❤ John je můj nejoblíbenější zpěvák, vždy mě jeho písničky pohladí po duši 🤩 Některé jsem slyšela poprvé,moc se mi všechny libily,moc děkuji za vložení tohoto hudebního klenotu ❤️👍
Sing it, Johnny! Thank you!
Wow never heard the first song!!! amazing
Absolutely fantastic
This is awesome! I hope it encourages all you songwriters out there like it does me… every song starts somewhere and John’s process seems to allow for change and experimentation. Strawberry Fields - when he (or Paul? George?) adds those electric fill , it’s just magical to hear the song take shape-from John just banging on his acoustic to a semblance of the song we know and love.
Thanks for compiling all of these together!
Thanks. Love how he starts singing the melody of I Should agave Known Better at the end if If I Fell.
I'm so thrilled at just now finding this. Only a few minutes in, but loving it very much. Thanks for sharing🩵
This is a fascinating compilation of old personal recordings. To go from this stage to final studio album version that we all know and love is really cool. Thanks for posting !!!!
Wow this is special stuff
Qué hermoso, poder escuchar como armaba su sus canciones es maravilloso, muchísimas gracias. Estoy muy emocionada.
JOHN SOUNDS LIKE HE HAD A COLD ON IF I FELL.
Thank you for uploading this audio.
Well, John didn't mind playing with an out-of-tune guitar. I don't think I ever heard a tuned guitar, but there were some attempts at tuning. George on the Get Back session is always tuning… maybe a nervous habit. So we know John didn't have perfect pitch because the out-of-tuned guitars would have been too painful. And it's well enough that he didn't because sometimes accidents in all shapes -- i.e., out-of-tuned strings -- can give you unnerving inspiration. This confirms that songwriting is an opening up to the horizon of possibilities and seeing what comes across, without judgment, because what comes over is usually never perfect or in a final form. The focus is to have fun and see what the music produces for your own imagination and satisfaction. I almost think that out-of-tuned guitars are a way of disarming the seriousness of it. The atmosphere is like a carnival, trippy and human in every way. You can see the sources of Revolution 9. There is almost enough material to make Revolution 10. It's an unkempt garden of the mind and we, as with John, are surprised by what shows up. And there are bird sounds everywhere one goes. Yes, your bird can sing… and it's better to record it before it flies away.
Composing songs with an untuned guitar is a very special style. Its also my style, too. When a song sounds with a "rotten" guitar good, how good will it sound with tuned guitars etc.. J. L. knew this trick! Believe me!
@@HARJEN-we4gg That's an interesting idea, that the song will sound good regardless. You can't kill it. I've heard that said about good songs in general, that if you play it on an acoustic guitar it will still come across. A good song is a good song. I also think that Lennon was lazy... even lazy to tune up his guitars and that if he took time to tune he might forget what he was thinking about. He gave his whole attention to the song and did not stray about other unimportant things.
The best
Amazing listening to He said He said before it turns into She said She said. Wow
Thank you so much for making us this present! What a talent he was. 🙏🏼
One can hear the Celtic Cadences and Modalities welling from the Irish lineage of Lennon (and also McCartney). Gaelic music is the very wellspring of the Western popular canon…from the ancient minstrels to the modern pop stars.
And Harrison was probably the most Irish of the all.
Ralph Vaughan Williams disagreed. He thought Celtic music contributed little to British folk music. But thank you for the point you made. It's a blessed relief from the "no American songs apart from blacks" nonsense. There is research by musicologists which supports the idea that European songs, even British ballads transported to Appalachia, were more important in the development of jazz than African sensibilities. That doesn't take anything away from blacks. Anyone who contends that blacks were negligible in the development of jazz has sacrificed the right to be taken seriously. It just simply was not "African sensibilities" alone which made jazz possible.
According to Plastic Ono Band's Lennon 50th Anniversary box set, the 'Look at Me' demos are from the summer of 1970.
I have the CD edition of the Plastic Ono Band's Lennon 50th Anniversary and couldn't find the date of the Look At Me Demo on the booklet, I only found the dates for the Look At Me Ultimate Mix and Out-Take (Take 2). Do you know on what page are the dates for the demos?
No wonder he let George sing it! lol. This is amazing to hear, thanks
Love hearing him chasing down a song.
Many of these are new to me. Thank you for sharing !!
Sweet
Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие друзья и память
AMAZING, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS GEM.
So glad
King of Kings. He considered songwriting to be torture. I understand that.
God bless you, Brother!
So cool to hear him experimenting with the mellotron. Never knew these tapes existed
it's like run to learn
Sua anima è vive per sempre, 💕😅
Thank you flor these recordings.
Where did u unearth this? Plz post more... *If I Fell is just mind boggling
I wasn’t into the Beatles until my father bought me the Beatles anthology 3 with all their demos and outtakes. I was able to connect with the songs and them as people hearing the process. I still prefer some of those version to the final ones.
Thanks for this 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for these home recordings….really nice, and such great pics of John, which I’ve never seen, and I’ve seen them all! Thanks, Santiago! ❤
Loving this! Thank u!!!
The question is… where and how did anyone get these?
Most of these recordings were originally aired on The Lost Lennon Tapes radio show. Also a great deal of the original tapes where auctioned and then digitalized and subsequently shared online. There is more info on where most of these recordings come from on the books Way Beyond Compare & That Magic Feeling.
man thank you❤this is amazing
