Note
i don't have a good enough musical vocabulary to express my emotions about the SFF love version but PLEASE talk about it more !!
OKAY!
The main thing I adore about it is how it's different, yet keeps the spirit of the original incredibly well. It's a splice of multiple takes and also features a complicated musical outro, just like the 1967 version, and YET it also takes you through a journey from the original demo to Take 1 all the way to the final version in all its bizarre, controversial beauty.
It feels like we're truly being "taken down", and I think the song is reallllllly strengthened by not starting with the chorus, and the anxiety of the final verse's lyrics hits so much harder when we built up to that production slowly. (I also find the original version was weakened by pitching John's voice. Literally LET him whine that's the whole POINT!)
AND THEN THE OUTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a HUGE fan of mash ups and generally just connecting songs (as can be attested by the literal mash ups I've posted on here and my fic lmaoooooo). The way it blends the original outro of the song with Sgt Pepper AND In My Life AND Piggies AND the ending of Hello Goodbye!!!!
A well-done mash up, to me, makes every included part from a song feel that much stronger, and hearing melodies or instrumentals in a new context can really help you to appreciate them.
And the fact that so many songs are used fills me with inexhaustible love for this band, it just reminds me of how much joy they've spread and within that outro, I feel like their discography is its own entire universe. Also the emphasis on their more orchestral and classical/baroque sounding bits from songs makes it so insanely timeless.
It Simply Means The World To Me.
