Well, today, i think I'm going to give the wild adventures a break. I've said earlier that one of my favorite bands are The Beatles. One of my all time favorite songs is "The Long and Winding Road". I might be listening to this song when I'm up late or maybe writing lyrics. This is an interesting song in many ways. Its so much better then the crap that plays on the radio these days. Paul McCartney wrote this song at his home in Scotland and wrote this song because of the growing tensions between the members. Paul said that the "long and winding road" part of the song was inspired by a 30 mile road in Scotland. Go ahead, take a listen to the original version......
When the Beatles gave Phil Spector the job to produce the album, he pissed Paul off because he added a whole orchestra to song which he didn't ask the Beatles to put in. Paul asked Apple records to take the orchestra out of the song, but they never did. About 9 nine days after Paul heard this version, he announced that the Beatles were breaking up. Anyways, in the video, its awesome how their just relaxed and just playing. John's just sitten down playin and you can tell their zoned in on the music. I would do anything just to be there in the studio and sing with them. I think this version sounds a lot better then the produced version. Thats just me, but you can decide by listening to it down below. I dont know, theirs's something about this song that gets me thinking. Paul said that writing sad songs brings out your inner most feelings and I completely agree with it. I think your mind is able to write better things when your relaxed. Like right now, I'm relaxed, I can definitley tell that this blog is much more meaningful then the other blog's. Oh well, thats just me. Let me know if the song relaxes you and gets you thinking?

It's a relaxing song. I was falling asleep when listening to it. The Beatles are much more then amazing. And yes, singing with them would be epic!
I like the song in the post better than the one below because sometimes less is more in a song. This song is probably one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. This song is one of those listen to anytime songs. Once I have some money, this song is definitely going on my ipod. I really loved this song.
I love The Beatles! Their lyrics/songs are always the most meaningful. I think everyone should take a lesson from them. Seriously, they changed the music world for the best.
One of my other favorite bands was Pink Floyd. They, along with the Beatles, were masters of rock music and they have changed music. It's funny that our generation loves this stuff and I think it's because our parents grew up with it and we found it. I love old rock like this.
Ha, definitley! Wish You Were You Here is my favorite floyd album!
The Beatles are magic.
