beatleant Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 You're talking about the version on the Anthology. If not mistaken, it's Paul and the session players blabbing about the recording..... I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt_Acid Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I did, but it didn't really say what the song was about, it just talked about it being a reprise of the first one, and about the concept of the album. And the comments were people just saying how much they love it. I would like to know the meaning of the song, because I listened to the lyrics for the first time, and I really like them.

Elvish Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 "The beginning was based on 2 stories John Lennon read in the paper: Guinness heir Tara Browne dying when he smashed his lotus into a parked van, and an article in the UK Daily Express in early 1967 which told of how the Blackburn Roads Surveyor had counted 4000 holes in the roads of Blackburn and commented that the volume of material needed to fill them in was enough to fill the Albert Hall."

Jugband_Blues Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 it's also supposed to be a more in depth song concerning pauls supposed death. but those people don't know as much as Elvish i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 what exactly Well RW90125, I'd love to turn_ you_ on but "exactly" is pretty hard to get to anytime, especially with something as metaphysical as song lyrics and you know words sometimes have two meanings I mean like, "what exactly" is Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon about? it's also supposed to be "supposed" by whom?, SpencaMyMan Can your sources lay some cards on the table? Different interpretations are always interesting to test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 In a totally unrelated matter, the part on "The Wall", when the school teacher is yelling,(with the helicopter in the background) "You...yes,you! I don't even have any patience! ...I'm...still waiting!" Anyway, that's what I hear. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I hear "You, Yes You! Have a problem?! Deal with it!" You know, I heard somewhere that the operator thing for the collect call wasn't staged, and it was really the operators reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the incomprehensible chatter at the end of "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles? i cant figure it out. Sorry Spenca. If it is "incomprehensible" we're not going to "figure it out".

edna Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Spenca, "A day in the life" is a song you can find info about mostly everywhere. If Songfacts is not enough, try the web page of the Beatles, or any of the offers of Google, Netscape, etc. At the end of the song you can hear some noise and voices in a strange mix...studio stuff, psychedelia, tips of tape mixed any way, etc... that´s also explained in the video "The making of Sgt. Peppers", where George Martin and Paul McCartney talk a lot about it. You could get a copy, maybe through Amazon... I didn´t hear the remastered version made by McCartney and others, but if you talk about the original LP, you can find zillions of information in the web. Good luck!

bazooka Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Spenca, I've had my Diddley and I feel fine. I visited your source: "Paul is Dead ... Not!" at amuseyourself.com If you read down, there's a part where they debunk all of the "evidence" cited by the Paul-is-Deadheads. It's House of Lords, not House of Paul. Sadly, however, the accident described in the song was very real: The song is about the death of Tara Browne, heir to the Guinness beer fortune, who was killed in a wreck December 18, 1966, at the age of 21. (Ironically, Browne, flying low through South Kensington at 110mph, crashed while swerving to avoid a Volkswagen in his path... which makes one wonder if the Vee-Dub on the cover of Abbey Road doesn't have some significance after all.) Anyway, can anyone really think Paul died, and the other Beatles left clues about it, and the McCartney we see walking around today is a perfect imposter? Edit: MyMan, I've realized that often people don't know when I'm kidding around. I usually joke with a straight face, and don't telegraph that I'm not being completely serious. I really don't care for graemlins at all. But I guess these would apply > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpride09 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I could never believe that the Beatles would leave clues to the death if it did happen. Some of those "clues" are a little weird and make a little sense but I?ve heard ones like ?peppers are the color of blood and this refers to his bloody death.?

Jugband_Blues Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 that's cool bazooka. it's harder to get what people really mean online. i by the way don't think that paul's really dead. i bet a bunch of stupid bastards came up with it.

edna Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Paul is dead? Naaahhh, that´s impossible, he´s one of the richest man in the world! As a long time Beatles fan I wonder where did you hear such a strange rumour? How did it happen? When? Aren´t you mistaking with Arafat? Oh, what a bad new for Linda... tss...

cindy17838 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 What is the incomprehensible chatter at the end of "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles? :stars:i cant figure it out. Cool, I know this one. At the end of Sgt. Peppers on the original album in the run-out grove they placed the phrase, "never do see any other way" along with some laughing so it would keep repeating on a turntable that would not pick up the tone arm. They recreated this effect for the CD version of the song and it repeats several times. If you were playing the original album with a turntable that would not pick up the tone arm when it reached the run-out grove you would hear the phrase over and over again and even in the sixties a stoner would get up off the couch to make it stop.
