BeatlesFest - Yesterday - AndyR

[AndyR]

Hmmm... finally got this wretched thing off of my BR

The other day, reading about what was missing, I thought I'd whip off a quick accoustic "Oh Darling" (in progress still, maybe) to participate in this fine event...

But instead I found an aborted "Yesterday" still blocking up creativity on ye olde AndyR machine... I realised I haven't done any recording since I started this for the "Plugged-In" fest some months back....  

I got a bit bogged-down in trying to do some drums, and it kinda stopped me doing anything at all. So, I decided to beat the thing or die in the process...

Over the last couple of days I've done the following:

• Kept the original bass, electric guitars, & organ
• Ditched the drum arrangement and hit a few household objects instead
• Redone the lead vox
• Added some, er, tasteful backing vox
• Restrained myself from going completely crazy with more backing vox in the bridge sections
• Added a few accoustic guitars to make the thing skip a bit more
• Removed an intro that didn't work without drums and replaced it during a mad cutting and pasting session that seems to have almost worked

So, at last, I manage to contribute to a Fest!

So good to have you back posting, this is beautiful, really. Thats a hell of a vocal.  Thank you for brightening my day good sir.

[Tony W]

Delicious. I hope you get that neurosis under control, because I could listen to your music on a daily basis. It's always a treat to hear what you've been working on.

'Yesterday' is not one of my favorite Beatles songs, but man that is one helluva superb production! Great arrangement and performance. And I agree with the rest, your vocals here sound very powerful.

Pro production, what a great cover, enjoyed the listen so much, just so well done.

[Geir]

Yeah, it's really great to hear some more of your fantastic voice Andy!! And, WOW, what a powerful version of this classic. And tho the song is quite simple, trying to rearrange it and make a version that really works is not! You've done a great job once again Andy, your skills as a musician, singer and producer are greatly appreciated and envied in the Alfsen cabin Your voice alone is something most of us would give a kidney to get !!

......I could listen to your music on a daily basis.

Ditto that !
