No Single Thing Abides (Cowan) with photos by Clyde Butcher (taken from a poem by Lucretius.
Back in 1992 I wrote this song because someone asked me to write a song for the "Save the Everglades" campaign at that time. I used a poem by the Roman philosopher and poet Lucretius (99 BC - 55 BC). This poem was taken from his most famous work "The Nature of Things", which happens to be the only complete work of art ever discovered thus far.
Needless to say the Everglades project never took off for me, the song and video (a different video than this) were never used or seen.
So since this year marks 30 years since this song was written I thought I would make a new video using the excellent "Everglades" photos of Clyde Butcher. He has a new book out on the "Everglades" that is for sale, go to his website: clydebutcher.com for more info.

    It's great to hear John's voice recorded louder than Paul's when they're doing harmonies, because usually, on the records, Paul's higher voice tends to drown John's out. A+ for George's spot-on harmonies on All My Loving. The guy could do everything.

    Looking at the stills, the bare-bones studio. No glamor there, just four working lads practicing their craft; outside was still gritty, poor Liverpool, providing few means for getting ahead. Hard to see how that studio environment could inspire any music, any hope of a livlihood, it was only the dreams and imaginations of the Four that propelled them into world music.

    The Beatles really knew what they were doing here in '64. The first self-reference appears in If I Fell: "I found that love was more than just HOLDING HANDS". This is about "I Want to Hold your Hand".

    Interesting when you listen to the early audition tapes George sang a lot of leads he was close to an equal third in vocals then when John and Paul started recording their stuff, and naturally singing it, George had to write his own songs just to have presence on the albums. I love every single song George recorded as a Beatle not a bum tune in the bunch. One of my favorite Beatlemania-era songs is All My Loving for the part where George comes in and sings duet with Paul.

    John did not like this song, although he said it was a favorite of George. During the Playboy Interviews he noted that it was a "throwaway song," while the interview noted that the controversial lyric line was from an Elvis Presley song (Baby Let's Play House). It goes. . . "Now listen to me, baby Try to understand I'd rather see you dead, little girl Than to be with another man"
