Keith Wilby Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I've noticed one or two other covers on here so I thought I'd submit this from my 90s archive for comments on the arrangement. Like others of mine of this vintage, the backing is from a Yamaha SQ-16 (which I still have) and the vocals sung live direct to stereo tape, bounced to a second tape machine for the harmony vocal (that you can just about hear). I've tried to make it "my own" without ruining it. Hope you enjoy it. https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/fornooneintroedit-542de3f8?revId=d657c660-8949-ea11-a94c-501ac51fcd00
garybrun Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Very nice Keith. Great vocals.... backing vocal s good too. There is something magical about tape. I did enjoy it. 1
Hidden Symmetry Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I enjoyed it as well. Your voice fits it perfectly, also the tempo/ groove felt good. One of the better Beatles covers I've heard in a long time. - Great job 1
Douglas Kirby Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 A nice rendition of a song I've always liked. I thought your vocal was very good on this. No crits on the mix - it was an enjoyable listen. I noticed that you got the groove to this song just right - nice job. 1
Johnbee58 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 You made it your own, and did a very fine job. ?John B 1

Harks Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I am a Beatles obsessive and whenever a band or singer cover one of their songs I think "Oh God no"! "For No One" is one of my favourite Beatles songs and I have to say your version is fantastic. Great vocals and arrangement. 1 1
markno999 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Keith, Great job, had to go back and listen to the Beatles version again. I actually prefer your arrangement and tempo over the original. Vocals are really well done. Regards 1
