Imagine the Band

Some fantastic soul out there slowed down John Lennon's classic "Imagine," sped up Paul McCartney's "Band on the Run," and put them together. The result is this surprisingly moving tribute to Paul and John's friendship. Enjoy!

This Day in 1967

On March 17, 1967, The Beatles recorded the sad, slow ballad "She's Leaving Home" for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in Abbey Road Studios. Characteristic of The Beatles, "She's Leaving Home" is inspired by true events, this time a runaway teenage girl, as the article above describes. John and Paul especially were very much inspired while writing songs to use current events, as songs like "Her Majesty" and "Taxman" can attest.
