🎸Favorite John Lennon Demo

[lorrluvssu]

This might be an obscure question for some, since we probably just listen to the finished-remastered songs of his.



However, there are home recordings that I really enjoyed listening to, that I appreciate solely in the context of the creation & variety. The chords & vocals are the only thing apparent. It's rawer in my personal opinion. There's more character in his voice overall. Not that the finalized ones don't have that element because they surely do. It's just delightful to hear his vocals and guitar playing, without the extra embellishments.



One of my favorites !

I love I'm In Love, that was never recorded by John officially. I also love the If I Fell demos and Real Life that is no longer available on YouTube.

- Mirror, Mirror (On The Wall)
- Solitude
- Mr. Hyde's Gone
- Dear John

Even though bits of them ended up becoming another song or just left as a demo, they all speak to a very deep part of the soul, as they are. Very real and personal.
