This is like, almost my favourite song. Ever. Actually, I can't think of a song I love more. The lyrics are awesome, the tune is great, I honestly can't listen to it enough.

I prefer the Good Evening version better than the original, maybe because that was the first version I listened. Or maybe because Paul voice is quite emotional.

I'm a bit ashamed to say I had to go to youtube to check some songs in Up and Coming's play list because I didn't remember them. And he didn't play that one in Mexico. a-hard-days-night-paul-4

I haven't actually heard the non Good Evening New York City version, so I'm not sure which is better. Does it sound much different?

Well no.. and yes. The original one is more…. intimate. Check it by yourself.

It's a little too pretty for me, but I still like it.

I had actually not heard this song before.  I have not heard too many solo songs, but upon listening, I absolutely love it.

Check the Up and Coming Tour version Red Lennon. I think it's much better.

I think the accordion in the Good Evening New York City version is what makes it.

I personally like like the Good Evening version better, it seems to be more heartfelt, not exactly, but I can't think of the word I'm looking for..a-hard-days-night-paul-4
