Michael Pollack on EddingtonRecords.com - tracks
On a PC, the tracks should start playing automatically. On a smartphone or tablet, you might need to press the "play" arrow below. By popular demand there is a cool new "search" button. Or go old school and explore the menus. The first menu has our newest trending hits. On the covers I play all the guitar parts and sing all the vocals unless otherwise credited.
Another great song by the Beatles. Did they write any bad ones? Probably not. This one is appropriate, because we are settling into the bleak sun-starved winter months. The last few days have been incredibly cold and windy. I can only imagine how bleak it would've been as George Harrison was writing the song in England, which is much further to the north and gets lots of soul-sapping low cloudiness from the ocean. Indeed, it could rather easily feel like years since one had seen the sun. No wonder that the Beatles were and we shall be in a few months rather stoked I should say to see the sun back, come spring. In Oklahoma, there is plenty of sun year round, so this is not especially a problem. But, can you ever have too much sun?
This one I played with two steel string acoustic guitars. One was doing the sort of lead for the capo on the seventh fret and the other, my Taylor guitar, strumming the mellow chords. There are a few minor mistakes. I have to see how much of a perfectionist I am
update: I guess I am indeed at least somewhat of a perfectionist. I re-sang all the vocals, twice even, and cleaned up the guitar parts very slightly. I also remixed all the tracks and put several special effect plug-ins in place. So far it seems to sound great, one of my best, but I'm sure I'll notice a problem before the sun comes up here this morning. It's only 6:20 AM right now and it's dark. Too cold and windy for tennis, so more music-making....
THE BEATLES
"Here Comes The Sun"
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right
