The Beatles – Free as a Bird (1977/1995)


“Free as a Bird” is a song, single and video released by The Beatles in December 1995 as part of their “reunion” and promotion around the release of the video documentary Anthology and their Anthology 1 compilation album. Song was originally a piece of music that John Lennon composed, but never completed. The original Lennon recording was made circa 1977 in New York City. Yoko Ono gave a basic recording of the unfinished music to the remaining Beatles (Paul mccartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) who reunited to finalise and record the completed song.

    Yeah I know, its frustrating. All I know is, I became so much damn happier after listening to The Beatles.

    Extreme transition from MCR to The Beatles.

    You have to Really know the beatles to truly view the video I mean TRULY. it mostly has to do with references of their songs and performances done together.

    It was Paul’s idea that they should have different persona’s hence Sergeant Peppers. So, obviously they were getting sick of the idea of The Beatles and wanted something fresh and original. They purposely did stuff like this because of the hype they received. Thats why John wrote I am The Walrus because he was sick of everything being analyzed.

    @AfterSchoolMovies

    The message at the end is played in reverse. . . it’s John saying, “Turned out nice again. “

  14. AfterSchoolMovies says:

    At the very end, you can hear John Lennon saying “made by John Lennon” or “Paul is a dead man”
