COLD WINTER SKIES AND A FREE BUZZARD FLIES! (A WE SHOULD ALL BE "FREE AS A BIRD" FLYING AROUND PHOTO BLOG)

Hi Everybody!!
You have probably noticed by now that I enjoy birds-on the ground, in trees or flying around. I delight in their freedom of flight. They just take off when they choose and go where they please in an instant. What do You think of when You hear the old saying: "Free as a Bird"? I think of the song: "Free as a Bird" by John Lennon. (And FreeBird by Lynyrd Skynyrd). I hear these songs when I watch the birds fly. Of course, I wish I could just take off and fly with them to the clouds. Below are photos, quick clips and links to 6 albums in my G+ Gallery. I hope you can fly away from your desk and come with me! We all want to fly! Enjoy!

Free as a Bird

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Free as a Bird" is a song originally composed and recorded in 1977 as a home demoby John Lennon. In 1995 a studio version of the recording, incorporating contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, was released as a single by the Beatles, 25 years after their break-up and 15 years after the death of Lennon.

The single was released as part of the promotion for The Beatles Anthology video documentary and the band's Anthology 1 compilation album. For the Anthology project, McCartney asked Lennon's widow Yoko Ono for unreleased material by Lennon to which the three remaining ex-Beatles could contribute. "Free as a Bird" was one of two such songs (along with "Real Love") for which McCartney, Harrison, and Starr contributed additional instrumentation, vocals, and arrangements. Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, who had worked with Harrison on Harrison's album Cloud Nine and as part ofthe Traveling Wilburys, was asked to co-produce the record.

The music video for "Free as a Bird" was produced by Vincent Joliet and directed by Joe Pytka; from the point of view of a bird in flight, it depicts many references to Beatles songs, such as "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Penny Lane", "Paperback Writer", "A Day in the Life", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Helter Skelter". "Free as a Bird" won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and was The Beatles' 34th Top 10 single in the United States. The song secured the group at least one Top 40 hit in four different decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s). There is a span of 25 years between the Beatles' break-up and the song's charting.

Origins[edit]

The Dakota building, where Lennon lived and composed, and where he recorded a demo of the song on cassette

McCartney, Harrison and Starr originally intended to record some incidental background music, as a trio, for the Anthology project, but later realised, according to Starr, that they wanted to record "new music".^[3] According to Harrison, they had always agreed that if one of them wasn't in the band, the others would never replace them and, " ... go out as the Beatles", and that the "only other person that could be in it was John."^[4]

McCartney then asked Ono if she had any unreleased recordings by Lennon, so she sent him cassette tapes of four songs.^[5] "Free as a Bird" was recorded by Lennon in 1977,^[6] in his and Ono's Dakota building apartment in New York City, but was not complete. Lennon introduced the song on the cassette by imitating a New York accent and saying, "Free — as a boid" (bird).^[7]^[8]^[9] The other songs were "Grow Old With Me", "Real Love", and "Now and Then".^[10]Ono says that it was Harrison and former Beatles road manager Neil Aspinall who initially asked her about the concept of adding vocals and instrumentation to Lennon's demo tapes. Ono stated: "People have said it was all agreed when Paul came over to New York to induct John into "The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame", but it was all settled before then. I just used that occasion to hand over the tapes personally to Paul."^[11
