Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) We pitched this cover song for a trailer trailer opportunity and although it made the short list, we didn't get gig so I'm able to share. CBB used for the whole thing with various Kontakt Libraries etc. Edited September 22, 2021 by Mark MoreThan-Shaw 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Been a Beatles fan since 1967....the music is excellent in creating the mood you wanted as are the vocals, really like the singer....the playing, percussion, riffs and production are all great....it's just, imho, the music is not in agreement with the lyrics...which is, i assume, exactly what you wanted. so, as a long time Beatles fan i would pass but this being the 21st century the zeitgeist is not what it was 54 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Boileau Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Love it! Love the original, but this is so different and interesting. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 That's the best way (IMO) to do a cover - reimagined. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 You don't hear songs so radically changed as your cover but it works very well. You could say it's a new song (except for the lyrics) influenced by the Beatles. Wonder how many listeners are familiar with the original these days. Reminds me of another cover. Pink Martini did Que Sera Sera in a minor key which takes a little getting used to. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree...the intention was to subvert the meaning which is often the case when a song is " Trailerized " Thanks for listening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Great cover! I like it when one takes a song and makes it their own. A+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Wonderful! I could listen to - even pay for - a whole album of that kind of stuff. Reminds me of the impact that the cover of the Beatles' "Because" had in the trailer for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Too bad the movie wasn't as good as the trailer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Quite a re-work and clever interpretation of the original. Very impressive and imaginative cover, indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the movie wasn't as good as the trailer. Cool, I just listened to it - I must have missed it first time around. That doesn't sound like a cover, it sounds too much like the original vocal stem to me. Sometimes it happens that a trailer composer has access to multi-track stems of original artists songs although I've not heard it done with a Beatles song before. Also you sometimes get what's called a ' custom overlay' where they take the original mix and layer new parts around it to give it a different feel for the trailer. But this doesn't sound like that as there's no guitar etc. Edited September 23, 2021 by Mark MoreThan-Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 You're right. I looked it up, and indeed the original was licensed by Sir Paul himself, who was a fan of Luc Besson. It's just been sliced and diced, looped and sweetened. It was the first time a Beatles song was ever licensed for an ad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
