Hey, at least you weren't stupid enough to create two different accounts for yourself! Making it twice as hard to amass those totals…

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

…What he said!

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Sunii's obviously pretty young! (And not Canadian.) That song's godawful, but someone could assemble a real nice Greatest Hits collection out of his 1979-1985 output.


Let me rephrase that: It's the only song SUNI knows him for.

And it really isn't that bad. The reason I don't like the song is because it has been WAY over-played.

In My Life for sure. It's lyrics are so fitting for the end of the road.a-hard-days-night-john-2

And in her eyes you see nothing, No sign of love behind the tears, Cried for no one, A love that should have lasted years.

In My Life . Ellie and I have agreed to have the following on a joint gravestone:

“And in the end

The love you take

Is equal to the love you make”


Can I clarify this a little? I think I've mentioned it before as well, but the stereo version of In My Life has the instruments and vocals mostly separated. The left speaker wasn't working once and all I heard were the vocals (plus the instruments faintly in the background) in the right. It sounds great.
 

I'd like, if it's possible, to have an a capella version of In My Life played at my funeral, like Because at the beginning of the Love album. I suppose they could just turn off the left channel, but does anyone have the technical know-how to isolate just the vocals?

I presume it's a matter of sampling the left-hand channel, then filtering out the instruments which bleed into the right channel. Anyway, if anyone can do this please post a sound file – I'll be (literally) eternally grateful.

EDIT I think the mostly-isolated vocals are on the original 1965 stereo mix, which is included in the Mono box set, rather than in the stereo box. But I was listening to the Capitol Albums Vol 2 when I first got the idea.

OK, found these multitrack stems from Rock Band. Will give it a go now. Apparently they can be opened in Audacity.

I've just been playing around with In My Life and A Day In The Life . Oh my. Seriously, everyone, stop reading this, download Audacity (if you don't already have it) then grab these files. Absolutely incredible.

Oh, it's also worth noting that during the solo in In My Life , if you isolate the vocals, you can hear Paul(?) singing quietly “Oh, I know I never will forget you, ever”

In My Life is the most popular choice – I am no exception. Sometime between now and my dirt nap, I want to put together a video presentation to be played at my celebration of life.

I envision pictures of everyone I've ever gone to school with (from class photos) or ever had my picture taken with flashing by with each note/word of the song.

At the end, with “In myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy life, I loved you more” would be a picture of my beautiful wife.

Joe – the “In the End” bit on the tombstones….lovely, just lovely.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

I didn't want to derail this thread any more (sorry about that), so I created a separate one to discuss the Rock Band multitrack files.
