That is why he is in prison.

The two songs sound nothing like one another – the chords, melody, lyrics and structure are all quite different.

well maybe eventually, but you know. Randy Crawford, Crown of Thorns, Dylan & Clark, Garbage, Gene, Marcia Griffiths, Taylor Hicks, Julian Lennon, Annie Lennox, Maroon 5, Matchbox Twenty, The Persuasions, Phoebe Snow, Stereophonics, Paul Weller, Zwan. I quit listening to LIB in the mid- ’70s, but I give “…Naked” a thorough listen now and then.

Of course Too Many People and How Do You Sleep, Imagine is kind of Yesterday-y, Penny Lane as a response to Strawberry Fields Forever…. Spector also butcherd “Across the Universe” and “The Long and Winding Road” with his overproduction.


All rights reserved. It’s absolutely fantastic, one of my five favorite John songs. I think that as much as it excited and amused him, and the same time it secretly terrified him. Great John Lennon heart felt plea to Yoko.I love The Beatles singing this on the rooftop in the “Let It Be” film.Lennon’s vocal is amazing and despite all the differences between he and Paul McCartney you can still see all the magic working between them. eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'beatlesbible_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_2',140,'0','0']));Although Lennon was revealing his feelings and fears in song as far back as 1964’s ‘If I Fell’ and ‘I’m A Loser’, ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ was one of the first examples of the raw soul-baring that would reach a peak on ‘Cold Turkey’ and the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album. Does anybody know? Johan acknowledge Paul’s massive musical talent? After all it’s quite obvious John, intentionally or unintentionally, took the inspiration for the verse of Don’t let me Down from I’d rather go blind, released the previous year. But not for murdering the “Let it Be” LP. Dont let me down is about the love John and Cynthia (his first wife during early bealtes)shared. I sing and play this one with my band,I love and scream it! })(); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As a life long Beatles fan,Yoko could not lace Cynthia`s boots.The original (and best, in every sense of the word) Mrs Lennon was not the subject of the song though.

And especially Ringo, when Paul recorded his own drumming over Ringo’s. ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ was released as the flip-side of ‘Get Back’ in the UK in April 1969, and in the US in May. Great post, yeah.

So are we. (function() { “Don’t let me down,” “Oh, Darlin’ I’ll never let you down,”……. The band Garbage performed a tongue-in-cheek version of this song to mark the opening of the newly-elected Scottish Parliament in 1999 in Edinburgh (Garbage's singer, Shirley Manson, is from the city).

A few gems surrounded by many melody-less chants. One version, I love the third verse part where John sings “I guess nobody ever really done me good”, Paul joins him in that verse and says “nobody” at the same time, the harmony is so perfect with the two of them…. I think he is referring to the Rod Stewart song The killing of Georgie . I have never met any information about mixing the single and ‘Past Masters’ version and I wonder why.
