  • listened to my original mix on a different pair of headphones and thought it could use a redo.
    Here are some changes I made:
    -Removed weird panning effect of the guitar
    -used a different John vocal for some parts
    -lowered the treble
    Hope you enjoy!

    After all the larking about and pulling funny faces, when John got down to business he could really deliver the goods. Because he sometimes had a rather casual, even dismissive, attitude towards his own talent and towards The Beatles' collective talent, people can sometimes forget that he was one of the great originals of the 20th Century.

    It's hard to listen to this edit and think that Lennon didn't write this song with a personal background, I don't care what any article or Lennon himself says in person.
    This "version" sounds like a sad, lonely man with his guitar, singing about sadness and the feeling that nothing really makes sense in lines like "Making all his nowhere plans for nobody" while at the same time he gives himself words of encouragement and tries to cheer up with lines like "You don't know what you're missing/Nowhere man/The world is at your command".
    It's moving to think about it this way and I really thank this edit for giving me this new perspective and loving this song even more than I already do.

      Definitely a capo! Could be higher than 2nd fret... Here Comes the Sun is 7th fret!

    This song will forever connected to the images from Yellow Submarine, when they find the nowhere man himself and Ringo says, "We'll take you somewhere." I saw the film long before I got the album, which was a Christmas present from Santa. 😊😊😊😊😊
