Your Thursday Moment of Beatles-Themed Words Fail Me
Another era-specific take on "Now and Then."
I don't know who that kid is, but my hat's off to him.
Fab! From the 1st comment on YouTube: "The video you are watching is all handmade, one person doing it all with limited equipment but immense talent and love for people and for his work. All the characters, the instruments, the voices, the music editing, the audiovisual editing, the lighting, the set, and the idea is all one person doing it LIVE in only FOUR hours. No AI and no other assistance."
impressive and enjoyable - recommended highly - and i speak as someone who knew the ed sullivan show - 'knew' in the sense that i repeatedly watched his show on live tv - and saw not only the mop tops several times but also their archrivals the rolling stones when they performed their provocatively worded hit song 'let's spend some time together'
Damn it to hell! & all that other stuff! I knew if I kept listening to The Beatles version of' Now & Then' I'd fall in love with it & I have! It's really, really good! Soon to possibly be great. We'll see soon enough.
Fab!

ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteand this morning youtube presents me with the "epic orchestra" instrumental version
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_drjk_dG_0
i think it's synthesized instrumental, not unplugged instrumental, and certainly the filmed performers are not performing the music we are hearing
still, it's interesting - and illustrates the truth of robert louis stevenson's
HAPPY THOUGHT
The world is so full
of such marvelous things
I am sure we should all
be as happy as kings.
And just like that- there's another one!
