Soon Comes Some Sun

April-Prelude no 7





born deep in an indigo submarine

here comes McHarringon

rolling up to sun

already found wrong keys to this unbeatable year of Monkee

opens new moon

gets old black beetles white

so no one sees which walrus played fool







...some mole fixing a dry hole in ocean's space for spring to run beams through...?

Beatles' Most Strange Songs ?!?!

(in good ways) ...instead of Beatles' best, I've tried making a list of their most unique, strange songs (in my ears through my glasses)

Surely depends on some mystical, extra sinister or funny characters of these, but foremost choosed those compositions /arrangements/ I believe to be most hard to imitate ( - and were so for even Beatles themselves?).


1. A Day in The Life

2. Eleanor Rigby

3. Strawberry Fields Forever

4. Piggies

5. Maxwell's Silver Hammer

6. Revolution no 9

7. I Am The Walrus

8. Rocky Raccoon

9. Think For Yourself

10. Because

11. Happiness is a Warm Gun

12. Yellow Submarine

13. Octopus's Garden

14. Norwegian Wood

15. You've Got to Hide Your Love Away

16. Why Don't We Do it in The Road?

17. Eight Days a Week

18. Long Long Long

19. Nowhere Man

20. Across The Universe

21. Penny Lane

22. Don't Bother Me

23. Baby's in Black

24. Don't Pass Me By

25. Drive My Car

26. Please Please Me (P.S. I Love You)

27. She Said She Said

28. I Wanna Be Your Man

29. Within You Without You

30. Glass Onion

or even more : The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill





Represented things shows to be, in relative balance:

at least eleven tunes by Lennon
at least seven tunes by McCartney
maybe four tunes by Both
five tunes by Harrison
two tunes by Starr

from every album (except A Hard...), but most from their white (as usual in my case)

my ELVIS Elevator : FEVER

Fifth Floor


Obviously Elvis was everything but alone in making another version of this Fever. Never had I heard the very original with Little Willie John - until later years. At least there 1956 we can feel how classic soulful blues the song is. Then all heavy brass chords was lifted off for the version on Elvis is Back (already fixed for Peggy Lee). Remained did that accoustic bass and finger snap + sudden drumbeats.

Could be one of Elvis' most naked arrangements?! Really revealing the singer, putting an extra hot spotlight on his/her abilities... Every detail drizzle out via Elvis' tongue I can't confuse for being someone elses voice. This became especially clear as a friend let me have a blind guess on the new remastered version where Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has woven Elvis' original voice into new instrumentation. Even though moreover Michael Bublé gets many lines in that mix - I was 111% sure that The King's lines was no one but Elvis.


When I had real fever as a school boy, I remember listening to tape after tape with Presley collections made the long long bed time a good experience after all :-) Besides, the swedish word for fever [feber] often reminds me of February which just has started.

Fever never have been one of my most favourite songs [neither most hot nor most cool]. Sometimes I even found it so boring that my fingers let the tape wind to next track - a process which seldom felt necessary for Presley things. Well, now as a grown-up I surely appreciate Fever's slowly flaming passion more. And it surely is no predictable piece at all!

Reminds me most of : Blue Moon (the slowest of them)
