25 Years since John Lennon passed on

[Trauma-san]

Paul loves John and says so everytime he gets a chance.

[I Am The Anton]

I've got a question for you Trauma. How is that Lennon Anthology box set? Is it worth spending all that money on?

I'm asking you because you know everything in the universe.

[Trauma-san]

Not quite everything.  I messed up a relationship once.  So I don't know that.


It's good.  I bought it when it came out, but it was like 70 bucks or something crazy.  I really like it, there's 4 discs broken down into time periods... there's this song called "Long Lost John" that's really cool that I sing to myself all the time.  It's got versions of "Sweet bird of paradox" and things like that on it.  If you're a John Lennon fan you'll of course love it... he had tons of unreleased material.

I find that those were just a few songs I was liking at the time. I mean, next week I could pick 30 different songs.

^^ yeah, itīs some tight tracks you put together, but Iīll have to go with white boy as for my personal favs being pretty different. There were a few among these ("I am the Walrus", "For No One"), but most that I would put on such a compilation you didnīt have:

- A Day in the Life (maybe their best track ever)
- Come Together
- While my Guitar Gently Weeps
- Strawberry Fields Forever (the chord progression is sick as hell)
- Eleanor Rigby
- Help!
- Yesterday
- Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
- Norwegian Wood

...but i can see how itīs terribly difficult to make a Beatles best-of. So props anyways

"Here There & Everywhere" i'm convinced is basically Paul's tribute to the Beach Boys.  Actually, I think Paul tributed the Beach Boys twice. 


First, "Here There & Everywhere" is almost identically from a compositional standpoint to the Beach Boys "You Still Believe In Me".  I never noticed it until someone mentioned it... but if you check the recordings, "Pet Sounds" came out, Paul said in an interview that the first time he heard "Pet Sounds" and "You Still Believe in Me", he cried! He thought it was the most beautiful song ever.  Shortly after, he went in the studio and recorded "here, There, and Everywhere".  The little walk down is the same in the songs, and the way they're both written with a really loose feel of verse/chorus is very similar. 

Second, he outright tributed the Beach Boys in "Back in the U.S.S.R." complete with "WHOOO, OOO OOOO OOOH'S" in the background during the second verse and everything.

Isn't a big part of the tribute for Back In The USSR also because the Beach Boys used the music to Chuck Berry's song Back In The USA? Great music, great music.

^yup!
