My Beatles challenge

2008-04-05

Now for something a little different. A good friend of mine asked me if I could do an alternative version of a Beatles song several months ago. The only provision was that I could not select any of their songs that had been hit singles. I had to choose a lesser known song from one of their albums. I listened to all of their albums, and picked 10 possible songs out of all of them. Then I narrowed it down to a single song.

Penning my own material is normally quite easy, but this was more challenging than I initially thought. When I write my own songs, I can hear whole thing in my head. It's just a matter of interpreting that into real life. In the case of this song though, it already had music to it, and I had to try and clear that original music out of my mind, so that I could compose a new sound to it. It wasn't a quick process, but I eventually came up with something in the end.

 

See what you think:
