The Beatles: A Day In The Life
Here’s a rarity I found on YouTube: a promo film for the Beatles’ song “A Day In the Life” from Sgt. Peppers. This is by far the greatest song the Beatles created:
-
The collaboration between Lennon (verses and chorus) and McCartney (bridge)
-
The incredible orchestra parts (they were given the simple instruction of starting at their lowest note and ending at the highest at the end of 24 bars)
-
The famous “forever” piano chord at the end
What is interesting about this video is that some of the footage is from the taping of the orchestra part (you can see McCartney telling the orchestra what to do).
You can read more about it at SongFacts.
