I never realized it until now but the maracas in the beginning almost sound like a clock ticking, up until the alarm goes off. Just another level of the Beatles’ genius.
Michael, I'm speechless. I have no words to describe what I just saw. This is, without any doubt, the BEST cover of this song on RUclips. Congratulations on another success.
I love how perfect you did this song. Just amazing. The Analogs band also has a perfect version of this song using all the original instruments and also using an orchestra.
Ringo's drums on this track are so symphonic, he plays them like a timpani. I've been waiting for this one. Stunning as always. The best channel on RUclips by far. Can't wait for the next one!
Seeing the visuals of the drumming just highlights how Ringo was looking at the drum part in a completely different way than anybody else was doing at the time. Instead of the standard high-hat and snare holding the beat then doing fills at the end of a section, he's playing it more like a xylophone, doing a counter-melody throughout with each drum its own unique "note." Just a totally different approach to pop and rock drumming. Then there's the simplicity of the piano part, the simple chord strumming of the acoustic, the maracas all simple parts that mesh together to form such a complex web of music. A true masterpiece and an awesome note-for-note recreation!
@@TheAstroTaco13 "theyre two totally different beasts"...You could just have said, "I'm a noob and I don't know". That would have been more on point than your ignorant comment.
@@sevchyk cheers mate, but their practical uses are totally different. The SM58 is first and foremost a live mic. That’s why its known as the industry standard for such. Its versatility and rugged design is totally different to that of the SM7B. If anyone is being a noob, it’s probably the bloke who’d ask such a vague open ended question like “whats better, this mic, or this mic”. Its like asking if Fender’s are better than Gibson’s. Its a ridiculous question to try answer honestly.
LYRICS ??? [Verse 1: John Lennon] I read the news today-oh, boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords [Verse 2: John Lennon] I saw a film today, oh boy The English Army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had to look Having read the book [Refrain: John Lennon] I'd love to turn you on (Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten) *alarm clock rings* [Bridge: Paul McCartney] Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And somebody spoke and I went into a dream [Interlude: John Lennon] Ahh-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ahh [Verse 3: John Lennon] I read the news today-oh, boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall [Refrain: John Lennon] I'd love to turn you on [Instrumental Outro] *whistle* *studio chatter*
i love how at the very beginning of the song like with just the acoustic guitar, it sounds like returning home from somewhere, but then all the other instruments come in and it turns in a complete different direction, as if going back for one more adventure
Ok ... All I can think to say is thank you. Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work and for allowing us to witness your talent. Beatles fans know how hard it is to do what you have done And I don't think there's a single one of them out there who wouldn't be grateful for this. If I was a woman I would have your children. Hahaha!
One of my all time favorite drum parts is this one by Ringo - it is brilliant and i could head it thousands of times and it never gets old - there are so many musical highlights in this recording but Ringo's drums probably stand out the most for me -- great job Mike, outstanding!
I was 13 when this came out. I thought The Beatles couldn't keep up their high standards for another multi hit album. I mean, nobody had done that. Then Srg Pepper came out and it literally blew my mind. This track in particular. The chord at the end is everybodys mind exploding! So many genres done so well. Multiple hits AGAIN on one album. So original. I told my Mum.. " these guys are geniuses Mum, this is even better than anything they have already done!" It was unbelievable. You've done a great job, especially Paul's piano which I love. It's so casual, just ad libbing in the groove of the song. I agree, Ringo's drums are perfect for the song too. Thanks again, all the best.
Holy shit, that snare drum is so SWEET, and I swore I could hear some vocals during the infamous "ahhh" section, You've no doubt heard this a million times, but stellar job once again.
I've always been skeptical of A Day In The Life covers, because most of them are missing something in one way or another, but this is the first time I actually like a cover of this song. And I know it means nothing to you, but just know that you made someone happy with your cover!! Great stuff man, you earned yourself a subscriber!!!
Astonishing. Dead on accurate to every detail. This is what The Beatles would’ve sounded like if they had the ability to record on infinite tracks and it’s amazing. Job well done is an understatement
Seeing it as we’ve heard after all these years is quite breathtaking. Those eerie guitar strums, the unsettling piano accompaniment and those drums all add to the atmosphere but the way you piece them all together is outstanding. Amazing.
Hey Michael, it's just me again, Doug out here in Green Bay, WI. Man, I'm telling ya, everytime I hear this song, I'm mesmerized. This song, I don't really have the words to describe it and I just happened on it tonight and actually sang along with it. A Masterpiece recreated to sound to me exactly like the 1st time I heard it. Man, I miss your video's, but know where to find them. Thanks again Michael for all you difficult work you put in this project last year. Phenomenal Pop Combo!!!! There'll never be another band like this one, I really believe that. Outstanding work. Oh, May 24, 6 years cancer free, pretty good eh? Take care my friend from far away. Once again, Crazy Beatle Doug.🏈🎸🎹🎻🥁
Michael; how perfectly tuned those toms are! I always wondered if Ringo was playing a couple of old bass drums in lieu of toms but wow, there you are with perfection in sound AND performances! Proving it was a rack tom and floor tom indeed! You my good man are amazing.
Holy hell this is amazing I love it so much. I have clue what you did to make the drums sound like they did but the tone and audio quality sounds 100% like the original. This freaking amazing man.
Absolutely wonderful. I especially enjoyed your notes in the description. Your attention to detail, respect for the original recording and composition, and joyous approach to the whole project is just the best. You are absolutely my kind of guy. Well done! Good on you!
Another masterpiece of my favorite Beatles song. I am truly amazed at your technical and artistic skills capturing the sounds. I sincerely hope you recreate every song they made :)
Soooo gooooood ! I noticed, in previous covers, that you use the complete songbook of the Beatles. But it does not show everything. In fact, your play is so accurate. It really helps me to play as the Beatles played on their records thanks to you: your hand/fingers on the guitar, bass or piano are very well filmed. And now, I can do it, though I tried for years to find out the right note, at the right place. Therefore, a big THANK to you ! All the best, knarf from France 🎸🇫🇷
Michael, please may I ask you .. as you were on this 2 month journey, which is what it was, did your appreciation of, or even awe of, the creativity and genius of The Beatles deepen ? At the end of the two months, having explored the otherworldly exquisite beauty and magnificence of this masterpiece, how differently did you view The Beatles relative to when you began ?
1. Paul McCartney is a genius, beyond even our normal understanding. I always loved the piano playing in his section of the song, never knew why. After slowing it down and picking it apart, the dude is just an extraordinarily intuitive musician. Mozart might be the only adequate comparison. 2. John Lennon's voice bring everything to the song. I can't even listen to this video and feel like I'm hearing the same song. I need John's voice to really feel the impact. So I think my lesson there is, the melody and vocal performance completes a song - and a song can't have the emotional impact without a soulful vocal performance.. 3. Engineering matters. The 8 separate days of drum takes revealed that fine-tuning the mic placement, drum tuning, and EQ/plug-ins got THAT sound. 7. I can't count.
@@MichaelSokil Thank you very much for your reply. You say 'Mozart might be the only adequate comparison'. I am going to put something to you that may seem far fetched .. but it may not be. Have you ever wondered if Paul McCartney is in fact Mozart ? The reincarnation of Mozart ? Paul has an inborn gift .. the musical magic that pours from him I believe has to go back to a past life or lives. He is too highly developed musically. Mozart's touch is not dissimilar to Pauls. There are correspondences. You may have without realizing it touched on the truth Michael. Concerning what you have said about John Lennon's voice .. John was a deeply spiritual soul, a great soul in the fullest sense of the word great .. it is the energy, spiritually, he is flowing with when singing 'A Day in the Life' that is having a powerful effect on you, as it has millions.
here in the Philippines where karaoke (we called it videoke) is a favorite form of entertainment that finding your channel is like finding a pink diamond. and me as a Beatles fan this is a treasure. im now one of your many subscribers. keep up the good work. God bless.
Had to listen again Michael, everytime I hear your arrangement, it sounds more and more like the first time I took the shrink wrap off and at the end of the album heard this. Wow, once again and Hi George and Ari. Sending thoughts and prayers up for your little buddy, Hi George, get well. Love you guys!!!
Michael, I stumbled upon your channel in October, and have been a fan ever since. Your covers are so accurate and make me feel like I’m listening to backing tracks. Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to seeing you tackle more Beatle tunes. One I’d love to see, in particular is “Day Tripper”.
I can't add anything new to the comments about what a great job you did, so I'll just say "Brilliant!" and comment on your comments. Please keep up the good work. From "She Loves You" to this in 4 years. Yes, being alive then and waiting with eager anticipation for the next album, it was indeed mind blowing. I was the perfect age, 16 for "Rubber Soul", 17 for "Revolver", then 18 just as "Pepper" came out. Whew! The excitement cannot be explained if you weren't there. People who say Ringo was not that great a drummer have never listened to this song. Sure he did not have the chops of Kieth Moon, but imagine if Moon had played on this song. Terrible. Moon was right for the Who, and Ringo was right for The Beatles. Different groups, way different styles. This song was the high-water mark for The Beatles. It made the album. In fact, "Pepper" was far from as enjoyable to listen to as "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver". Sure it changed things (again) but there were several songs on the album I just did not enjoy. Every Beatle album was so different from the previous, and this was certainly no exception. Little things like the songs running into each other without the usual 4 or 5 second delay were interesting. Paul's bass reached a new level of being "lead bass" and literally making many of the songs. But on this, perhaps the most new of new Beatle songs, I have to ask, "Where is George Harrison?" He no longer determined the style of their songs by his choice of which guitar he played.
Pfffff this is perfect, all the energy of the Beatles is here, the story and the atmosphere can be felt, I almost heard the lyrics, this sound is great, I will check your channel, this is awesome and so complete
Sem dúvida nenhuma, um dos melhores covers que eu já ouvi. E o olha que eu já vi muita coisa na internet sobre os meninos de Liverpool. A qualidade do áudio ajuda muito mas os arranjos estão perfeitamente alinhados. Já me inscrevi e vou ouvir o canal por muito tempo. Parabéns.
IN-FRIGGIN'-CREDIBLE. Emotional. There are those who "TRY" to pull off this song, especially with Lennon's Gibson. Most (if not all, IMO) fall short. Michael nailed it. Floored! You captured the . . . magic. ~sujoeinc~ aka Joe Springer
Simply brilliant! Nothing more needs to be said except, as always, thank you for sharing your amazing talents! PS…how about a making of video? Would love to see some of the behind the scenes work!
I'm stunned. I knew that you are capable of doing so but you outmatched -again- my expectations. What a delight. At the time a friend of mine took the lp to school. Then I didn't realize what a masterpiece this was. It was so different from what you heard in those times. Thanks again for this brilliant piece of work! That's what people need nowadays.
thank you so much for doing all these awesome covers! its lovely to hear these masterpieces with the current recording technologies available thus making us appreciate more all the tiny details and such. brilliant work! 🥳
Wow! I can't even imagine the amount of hours of work that went into this to get that carbon copy, yet with all the right feel. Outstanding. I subscribed after the second video I saw, and I'm glad I did. As a musician/producer, I can say this is an academic master class. But the thing that comes across the most is that you're enjoying every minute of it. It's contagious. Congratulations, mate. This is top shelf stuff.
Was pretty blown away by that spot on orchestral part recreation until I read the description haha. It's something I've tried recreating myself with the EastWest library, but never been satisfied so I don't blame you. Anyway great job as always, that upright sounds especially great!
Yeah I wasn't thrilled with the version I put together with Cinematic Studio Strings and Brass. I did use my own version of the brass in the "Ahhs" section, which I blended with the original track. Here's an isolated version of my stuff - soundcloud.com/michael-sokil/aditl-brass.
@@MichaelSokil I've listened to all your stuff on soundcloud, I'm quite the fan haha. Checked out ADITL parts shortly after watching your cover before you had uploaded the brass part, sounds really great. I'd be interested in hearing your attempt at the orchestra section, but if you're not happy with it I understand you not wanting to put it online.
@@plasticmac1439 Haha no worries! Here it is - soundcloud.com/michael-sokil/aditl-orchestra-attempt1. I gave up when I read somewhere that the actual orchestra was performed 3-4 times and layered on top of itself. I realized I'd need to go back and do this 3 more times to get anywhere near a useable sound and figured I'd just use the real deal.
Incredible stuff. Many people can replicate the tempo and the notes. But it's not easy to get the texture just right and that's what you nail, time and time again.
and this was done by one dude😳
I never realized it until now but the maracas in the beginning almost sound like a clock ticking, up until the alarm goes off. Just another level of the Beatles’ genius.

For those who say "Shure sm-57 is a bad microphone", an incredible recording lesson for you and for all of us.
Astounding, marvelous, you are great.

Pure perfection Michael. Truly truly amazing job here. Any chance of posting a spotlight video on just the piano?
I honestly don’t think you could’ve come back stronger. Fantastic stuff. You absolutely blew it out of the water.
Agreed!
LYRICS ???
[Verse 1: John Lennon]
I read the news today-oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
I saw a film today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
[Refrain: John Lennon]
I'd love to turn you on
(Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten)
*alarm clock rings*
[Bridge: Paul McCartney]
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
[Interlude: John Lennon]
Ahh-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ahh
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
I read the news today-oh, boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
[Refrain: John Lennon]
I'd love to turn you on
[Instrumental Outro]

*studio chatter*
Except Interlude actually is Paul McCartney doing the Ahhs!
@@sebastiandenhoff1616 It's both Lennon and McCartney
@@PepeLuguillo Actually the correct answer is that no one knows
@@TheMusicalElitistit’s John. Even Geoff Emerick, whose memory seems to heavily favour Paul, says it’s John.

Never noticed Ringo's magnificent work in this song until now. As a beatle fan since my childhood, I'm surprised
God knows how many times I've listened to the original, this is utterly impressive.
OMG! It gave me goosebumps from start to finish! You're incredible!

IN-FRIGGIN'-CREDIBLE. Emotional. There are those who "TRY" to pull off this song, especially with Lennon's Gibson. Most (if not all, IMO) fall short. Michael nailed it. Floored! You captured the . . . magic. ~sujoeinc~ aka Joe Springer
Este instrumental cover es una obra maestra también!!
Key change 2:48 to 2:50 ... simply epic.. it blew my mind
Simply brilliant! Nothing more needs to be said except, as always, thank you for sharing your amazing talents!
PS…how about a making of video? Would love to see some of the behind the scenes work!
Bravo!!! This was brilliant and well worth the wait.
I'm stunned. I knew that you are capable of doing so but you outmatched -again- my expectations. What a delight. At the time a friend of mine took the lp to school. Then I didn't realize what a masterpiece this was. It was so different from what you heard in those times.
Thanks again for this brilliant piece of work! That's what people need nowadays.
Finally the guitar intro with the G major barre chord.
This just completely blew my mind. Absolutely nuts.
MICHAEL mis respetos que gran version y de paso gracias por los acordes que nos enseñas.
I can't stop watching your content. Amazingly well done. Keep up the great work.
Wow
thank you so much for doing all these awesome covers! its lovely to hear these masterpieces with the current recording technologies available thus making us appreciate more all the tiny details and such. brilliant work! 🥳
Fantastic. So well done on every level
Wow! I can't even imagine the amount of hours of work that went into this to get that carbon copy, yet with all the right feel. Outstanding. I subscribed after the second video I saw, and I'm glad I did. As a musician/producer, I can say this is an academic master class. But the thing that comes across the most is that you're enjoying every minute of it. It's contagious. Congratulations, mate. This is top shelf stuff.
Was pretty blown away by that spot on orchestral part recreation until I read the description haha. It's something I've tried recreating myself with the EastWest library, but never been satisfied so I don't blame you. Anyway great job as always, that upright sounds especially great!
Yeah I wasn't thrilled with the version I put together with Cinematic Studio Strings and Brass. I did use my own version of the brass in the "Ahhs" section, which I blended with the original track. Here's an isolated version of my stuff - soundcloud.com/michael-sokil/aditl-brass.
@@MichaelSokil I've listened to all your stuff on soundcloud, I'm quite the fan haha. Checked out ADITL parts shortly after watching your cover before you had uploaded the brass part, sounds really great. I'd be interested in hearing your attempt at the orchestra section, but if you're not happy with it I understand you not wanting to put it online.
@@plasticmac1439 Haha no worries! Here it is - soundcloud.com/michael-sokil/aditl-orchestra-attempt1. I gave up when I read somewhere that the actual orchestra was performed 3-4 times and layered on top of itself. I realized I'd need to go back and do this 3 more times to get anywhere near a useable sound and figured I'd just use the real deal.
That was masterfully done. Very impressive. You nailed Ringo's drums! 👍👍
Yours and The Analogues', there's no other cover that compares to these two. Truly a masterpiece Michael. Astounding!!!
I have watched you for years and enjoyed your lessons. Your passion for the Fabs is so evident. This is a stunning recreation. Congratulations!
Incredible stuff.
Many people can replicate the tempo and the notes. But it's not easy to get the texture just right and that's what you nail, time and time again.
Chills bro, especially at that last chord
Brilliant. An inspiration for the rest of us.
So glad you are back on your spotless work. You do it like no one else. Please continue!!
Fantastic!
Absolute perfection!
