10000 Shots - Real McKenzies (The)

Advantages: The Beatles

...line), and talks about the high taxes the beatles always had to pay. It's a line that I love that talks about these coins they used to put on dead people's eyes, and Harrison says those pennys must be declared too. The Beatles, a few years after, would found themselves in serious taxes problems, and thats why the'd create their Apple company. Rate: 10/10 2.Eleanor Rigby (Lennon-McCartney) Main composer: McCartney, Singer: McCartney. A nice song with weird psychedelic lirycs. Lots of fiddles and orchestra musicians for this track. Theres a line where Paul sings 'Father McKenzie...', but it was going to be 'Father McCartney...'...he just thought his father might not like it. The name of the song was the name of some one that was buried at Liverpool Cemetary. Rate: 8/10 3.I'm only sleeping (Lennon-McCartney) Main composer... Read review

...it a lot. Next is another Revolver track, Eleanor Rigby, which was written by Paul McCartney and features his lead vocals, with John and George backing him up.

I actually hated this song when I first heard it, but it has... Read review

...a candle to you', and 'This little light of mine.....I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way', this isn't really that far away from any typical top 10 hit love song. Nor is the conclusion that his mother is an angel - '10,000 Days in the fire is long enough/You're coming home'. This, at least, is new ground for Tool. In a discography where something as guarded and layered as "Jimmy" can be considered deeply emotional, this is a revelation. And from there, it gets BETTER. "The Pot" is easily the equal (musically, at least) of "Vicarious". Justin Chancellor again stakes his claim as one of the best bassists in the world - he sounds like a a man on a mission on this record. The rest of the band respond in kind - the band haven't rocked this hard and powered forward this directly since "Prison Sex". Chancellor and Jones... Read review
