    Me too, but for different reasons. When I was around 10, I lived on the first floor of a mid rise apartment complex with buildings that faced each other. I was woken up one night by a sound that I can only describe as a 'foomf' sound, heavy and muted. I looked out my window but didn't see anything so I went back to sleep. When I got up for school in the morning there were police outside of the apartment milling around. My neighbor had went into his car late that night, wrapped wet bluejeans around his head to muffle the sound and shot himself with a shotgun.

    Agreed. I've heard plenty of attempts to cover this song, and while many of them are excellent (including this one -- the singer was great, and David's playing was spot on), no one can quite nail that weary, sullen tone like John did. Probably the closest I've seen is Chris Cornell's version of this song. While he doesn't sound much like John, he "felt" the song better than anyone I've ever seen play it other than John himself. It's sad, but beautiful in a way, that you almost have to be a tortured soul to get certain songs across in that way.

    Lennon's section sounds dreamlike, but aren't the lyrics literally based on the stories he read in the newspaper that morning? I'm pretty sure I saw a picture of the newspaper story about the 4000 potholes in Blackburn that inspired Lennon's lyrics. I presume the title 'A Day in the Life' came about before McCartney scribbled down some words about a typical bloke getting ready for work and running for a bus, but I'm not sure. It's kind of incredible how lyrically it's about the humdrum, but musically it's otherworldly.

    Whenever I hear Beatles covers lately (and yours is very very good, btw), I come away with one major conclusion, and that's what an inimitable singer John Lennon was. He didn't like his own voice, apparently, but literally nobody sings like him. Even though this is a soft melody, he had such and edge, and his sarcasm is always present. It's clear from the first note: Your friend sings very lyrically and, well, soft, John has this raspy sharpness that cuts through everything. His timbre was like a megaphone.

    Phil Collins - one of the best pop drummers at his time - had very high regards for Ringo Starr. Contrary to what others said about Starr ("he wasn't even the best drummer of the Beatles"), Collins admired Starr's musicality. He pointed to the drum patterns at the beginning of "A day in the life", noting that these are not only perfectly supporting the song but also incredibly difficult to play. And you played them so well. i was really surprised how incredibly good your version sounded, congrats

    Every drummer always underestimates or makes fun of Ringo Starr until they actually try to PLAY Ringo's parts, which are deceptively simple, but the man is a *clock* in terms of his consistency. I've seen some of the most talented drummers humbled when they've tried to keep up with Ringo's timing. And in terms of his parts in general, there are very few drummers who knew JUST what would serve a song better than Starr did. There are flashy drummers who want the drums to be noticed - and then there are drummers who know that the song is what's important. I'm not saying he was the greatest drummer who ever lived or anything - but anyone who mocks him or thinks he wasn't an integral part of the Beatles just doesn't understand what made him so great. Let me put it this way - one musicologist literally set a metronome to the beat of a particular Beatles track - I can't remember which, but it was an early one where the beat remains consistent throughout - and the study showed that Ringo was tighter than the METRONOME. It's like Starr was built in a Swiss lab or something.

    In music, a pursuit of happiness is to hear (or make) re-creations of pieces. Fresh recordings, style adaptations, different instruments, and so on. The pieces sound to me like a first time again. On top of that, you explain where each element comes from... my hat off!

    Interesting that after been listening to a Day in the Life thousands of time since 1967, for the first time I was paying attention separately to the different instruments that were played in the song, as for example the part and use of the piano or the great bass'line. Also the drums. What a fantastic piece of work, David! Congrats from Brazil!

    That was an amazing cover! I’m now subscribed. My wife and I didn’t meet until we were in our 20s, but had both been serious Beatles fans since our teens. We were born in late ‘63 and late ‘64 respectively, so have literally never lived in a world without The Beatles in it. One night a few years back we were driving late at night, and “ADITL” came on the satellite radio station we were listening to. We sat in absolute silence, just soaking it in. When the last chord finally dissipated, I said to her, “Hard to believe that is the same band that recorded ’Love Me Do’ just four years earlier.” I’ve often wondered the hell was John Lennon thinking walking away from the band. As I once remarked to my wife, he must have gotten tired of being in a band with musical genius, and decided mediocrity was the way to go.

    Another brilliant clip David, love the insights into the recording process. Like others, this track holds special significance for me. It was the last song ever played on Radio London, the extremely popular offshore station that broadcast in the 1960's to the UK from the North Sea for 3 years until closed down by the Government. A poignant song in so many ways.
