    THE WEEKLINGS, America's most unique celebration of the music and inspiration of The Beatles, offer their newest video single, a rocking re-imagining of The Beatles "I've Just Seen A Face" from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. The lead vocals and harmonies soar beautifully above the dense, jangly guitars of Rocky Weekling (aka John Merjave) and Zeek Weekling (aka Bob Burger) and the driving bass and drums of Lefty Weekling (aka Glen Burtnik) and Smokestack Weekling (aka Joe Bellia). A sitar drone draws you into and out of the track while a swirling, a capella moment waits to surprise you! No one re-imagines the music of The Beatles like The Weeklings! The audio single is available on iTunes, Amazon, Apple Music and streamed on Spotify. Special thanks to our "Beatles" guest stars, Ringo - Annalise DeLuca, Paul - Laila Ortiz, George - Michelle Merjave and John - Skylar Moody...If you dig it, share it! Another Glen Burtnik/Mark Laidlaw/hushpark.com Production!

    I already commented below but I just watched again. Everything about this is so f****** awesome.... especially using the intro as the bridge. Man when you go from a major to a minor on the tonic chord as you go into the bridge, that is really moving. Great job!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Video aside, I also always listen to a track without watching any visuals to hear if it stands up aurally. What I appreciate about this cover version is you made the song your own, as opposed to rendering what has already been accomplished countless times by others. Brilliantly arranged, and executed. I picked up on the Faces 'Stay With Me' keyboard riff at 2:23. Clever. Lastly, the George 'Michelle Merjave' Harrison character evokes an image of a Small Faces era, Steve Marriott :-)
