The Write Stuff – The Write Stuff

The full moon woke me quite early this morning, so I made good use of the time and made some changes to this recent song – Taxman from the Beatles Revolver album.

Here is my version of the Beatles Taxman, from the Revolver album. And this one is a remake of that 80’s song we all know and love.

With that in mind, here is today’s song. From the Beatles Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, this is my version of When I’m Sixty-Four.

So what better way to pass the time than to make music? Yesterday’s song needed something, and it finally hit me. It needed a harpsichord and a sitar.

Here is one of the very first songs ever released by the Beatles: All My Loving. I don’t think this is how they imagined it sounding, however. All of these masterpieces can be found here also.

From the Beatles Revolver album, here is my version of Love You Too. It was made using the Sytrus synthesizer plugin, included with FL-Studio. And remember, never trust anything an atom has to say. They make up everything.

Here are three versions of Beatles songs: Day Tripper, Strawberry Fields Forever, and Magical Mystery Tour.

This is an updated version of the theme song from the TV show Star Trek – The Next Generation.

This is my version of the theme song from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is out of this world.

There was a problem with the song I posted this morning, so here it is again. This is Being for the Benefit of Mister Kite, from the Beatles Sergeant Pepper album. For some reason it sounds better if it is downloaded first and played on a music player. At least that is the case with […]

So what better song today than the Beatles Being for the Benefit of Mister Kite? Turn the volume down and it will sound clearer.

I took some of the harmonies on this song and split them into two channels. This is Eleanor Rigby from the Beatles Revolver album. Let’s hope this brings your team good luck in the MLB playoffs. (Unless your team is located in Wisconsin.)

Here are two songs to get you ready for a full day of MLB Playoff Baseball (if you are reading this on Saturday October 3rd). These are my versions of Back in the USSR and Dear Prudence, from the Beatles White Album. These songs can also be found here. And here they are separated, for […]

Did you know that some bees are allergic to pollen? If they get near it, they break out in hives. Be that as it may, here is a new song I finished up just this morning, titled Baby You’re a Rich Man, from the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour album. And as always, these songs are […]

Here is a song that is sure to brighten your day. This is my version of Frank Zappa’s Peaches en Regalia, released way back in 1969.

Here are three versions of The Beatles We Can Work It Out. This song was a single released in 1965, on the other side of Day Tripper. I made it in three different keys; see if you can tell which one is the original key. And finally, here it is in reverse:

This time it is from Van Halen. This song is titled Eruption and it is from their very first album released in 1978. If you listened to an FM radio during this time, you heard this song. It was originally just a warmup exercise for Eddie Van Halen. The full story can be read here. […]

Here is another classic song from the Beatles Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, titled Lucy in the Sky with DIamonds. And this is a song that I posted last week, with some changes.

Why did the teacher always have crossed eyes? It was because she couldn’t control her pupils. Here is my version of Michelle from the Beatles Rubber Soul album. As most long-time readers know, these songs can all be found here.

One of the players in the World Cup was asked how he kept so cool in the heat during the games. He said it was because of all the fans. Here is a new Beatles song for the weekend. This song always seemed like a Friday Night song to me. It is the title song […]

This is my version of Ticket to Ride, from the Beatles Help album. It is yet another example of the brilliant songwriting by the Beatles. Music lesson of the day: The repeating riff is so powerful because it is basically the notes of the I chord followed by two notes of the V chord. It […]

These two Beatles remakes were already posted here this week, but they are much improved now and worth sharing again. Is there are a better Beatles album then Revolver? I think not.

Here is yesterday’s song with some new instruments. I think it sounds much better. And this is a remake of the classic Beatles song She Said She Said, from the Revolver album.

In honor of Ringo Starr’s 86th birthday, here is a song from the Beatles Rubber Soul album titled Nowhere Man. And this song is from the same album, and it is titled And Your Bird Can Sing.

This song isn’t by the Beatles. However, its title accurately describes my current mood, and that of many others. I’ll give you a hint: The song title comes from a series being shown on Apple TV right now. And the answer is…Cape Fear by Bernard Hermann!
