More Discussion-What Beatle Songs should PW cover?

[hipcheck]

Sure, I know he already covered Nowhere Man but who are we kidding? This is not one of PWs finest moments.

My picks?

She Said She Said- During the KCRW performance PW he did a nice medley that included "All I Really Want to Do." Im sure a cover of She Said She Said would be great regardless if he did it electric or acoustic. Maybe he can do it as a Crackle and Draggish 2 version thing.

And Your Bird Can Sing-The Jam did a nifty cover version...why not PW?

Dont Bother Me-George Harrisons first official Beatle Tune has a title that seems apropo. Also seems to be anice fit in PWs vocal range.

Im sure theres a couple others Im missing so I look forward to reading your selections.

"For No One" and "I'm Only Sleeping" (from whose "Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me, Leave me where I am" riff PW got "meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime/Now I don't care, meet me tonight")


I'M ONLY SLEEPING
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)
Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am - I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (there's no need)
Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...
Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

FOR NO ONE
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn’t feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years ...
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he’s gone
She doesn’t need him

For No One is perfect for Paul.

[Elizabeth]

maybe he can throw in a little 'happiness is a warm gun..." somewhere

[kgp]

I would love to hear Paul cover "She Said She Said". Or maybe "Blackbird". I like the cover of "Nowhere Man". That's my "Sunrise Always Listens", I guess.

Do we have to listen to him play the french horn solo?

[52media]

That's one of the first Beatles songs I ever learned how to play on guitar.

It has a fantastic melody and is fun as hel;l to play.

[prine]

He'd do a good job on "In My Life" from Rubber Soul.

[hipcheck]

Funny almost every song suggestion is something off Rubber Soul or Revolver. Not that I thought Paul would cover "from me to you" or "Savoy Truffle" but interesting nonetheless.

Revolution #9, #9, #9, #9?

[torethatbridgeout]

We do need some more non-mopey entries.

One after 909? Ballad of John and Yoko? I Saw Her Standing There? Back in MPLS?

A lot of Lennon selections as well....

Gimme Some Truth or I Found Out from Lennons solo stuff would also seem to be right up PWs alley.

[A Regular]

Seems everyone else has covered Jealous Guy, give it a shot PW. (Though I sure don't see him as the jealous type; too apathetic)

[torethatbridgeout]

"I'm a Loser" might be a bit too obvious. And not that good a song. And Beck's done it, sorta.

I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

[torethatbridgeout]

uhrm, I think this is a bad thing, but "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" seems right somehow.

[Kathy]

"I've Just Seen A Face"
"Please Please Me"
I'm A Loser"
