Yesterday all you need is love, so they say.

They're not even trying to make proper sentences out of the titles.

Wonder what the writing credits are for this?

by Guest Fri May 03, 2019 9:05 pm

That was without doubt one of the worst things I've ever heard.

sad yes

Titles. I first heard this when I was fifteen. As I was a big Beatles fan, I loved that it mentioned lots of Beatles songs.

Now I just think it's lazy, stupid and pointless. box

A bit of A Day in the Life. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 03, 2019 9:06 pm

It's a very nice tune. It's a shame they didn't think to come up with some proper words for it.

"In My Life" written by John Lees

Counter melody. Excited

Hang on... they've moved the tracks around!

That first one is 'titles'...

traditional, arr. by Lees

Anyway, "In My Life", these sounds like a few Pink Floyd songs bolted together.

Now we move into the religious material.

He can't reach the high notes.

Track 2. In My Life. The Beatles fixation continuation.

The first few bars remind me of both Layla and that song that Mark Knopfler did about the ghost of Little Nell.

In fairness, they might have been derivative when it comes to the song's title and the Layla bit but ripping off a Mark Knopfler song that wouldn't be written for another 20 years was an achievement.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 03, 2019 9:10 pm

Also hints of All Along the Watchtower.

Actually I'm getting an endless River feel from this album.

That's not a good thing.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 03, 2019 9:11 pm

Vocals sound like exactly Kelly Groucutt. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 03, 2019 9:12 pm

The All Along the Watchtower influence is now blatant.

by Guest Fri May 03, 2019 9:12 pm

It really does sound like it's running 5/10% slow.

I've put it on 1.25 speed.

Guitar solo.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 03, 2019 9:12 pm

Middle section sounds like Lindisfarne. box

by Guest Fri May 03, 2019 9:13 pm

The Drums still sound Nick Mason after he'd given up. sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 03, 2019 9:13 pm

In fairness, to BJH, they had multiple songwriters who were all equally derivative as each other.

by Guest Fri May 03, 2019 9:14 pm

Jonathan

Ooh, this sounds like something...
