Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
We were talking
About the space between us all
And the people
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth
Then it's far too late
When they pass away
We were talking
About the love we all could share
When we find it
To try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world
If they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

It has a long history starting with (who else) The Beatles! They weren't called mashups back then, but what do you think Revolution #9 is? The songwriting credits on all of the Beatles songs were Lennon/McCartney so if you don't have BOTH of them collaborating to this project, then it's just other people screwing around with their music editing software. meh. This is not "just other people" man, it's George Martin - who helped the boys with much of their studio magic, and his son. And this project was kicked off by George Harrison through his friendship with the Cirque de Soleil founder, blessed by John's widow, and fully cooperated with by Paul, Ringo, Olivia & Yoka. So lighten up on the other people crap. Oh yeah - and this is the most creative and well down mashup on this record. |

I wasn't cutting the song down. I like the song. I like the Beatles. I like Ice Cream. I like you. Cancer sucks though. Just noting that the eclectic-ness of this tune wouldn't appeal to as many listeners without 'a little help from it's friends.' :) |

| bev (Reno, NV) | Posted: Jan 11, 2012 - 13:32 I consider myself somewhat of a purist. Generally don't like remixes or covers. I was reluctant to listen to Love when it came out. But I put on the headphones and gave it a chance after seeing a little documentary about how lovingly it was crafted and who all was involved. Wow, I was taken by surprise. I decided to listen to it on its own merits — as I would a new album — and not compare it (as much as can be possible). And it stands on its own admirably. I really think it's a fabulous record. It really felt like all these songs were fresh and I could adore them anew. (That being said, I have a friend who insists that without headphones one can't truly appreciate the finer nuances of these new mixes, and she may be correct in that.) Thanks George and Giles Martin. Nicely done. |

| Shimmer (Bethesda, MD) | Posted: Jan 29, 2011 - 17:22 This is pretty neat. The only thing that I can think of that would be even better would be to play each of the two songs separately as God intended. Thank you. |

| Pharlap (Bahama, NC) | Posted: Jul 23, 2010 - 09:23 Bill, great choices this morning. One after another. I'm surprised this is rated "only" 7.7. It's probably their most influential cut as far as expanding the musical palate of the day and features some of George's best guitar (IMHO) |
| HazzeSwede (Vinyl Land) | Posted: Jun 21, 2010 - 12:25 I loved this "Love" CD instantly and still do. #10 all around! The DVD with 5.1 sound gets the most airtime here. |
| j2e1n9 (23221) | Posted: Jun 21, 2010 - 12:24 I'm the only person in the world who doesnt like them. I feel so alone. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: May 20, 2010 - 17:08 Yay the show. I've got a demo from a radio programmer who shall remain nameless, and it's dismal. A remix of magic, turning it into muck (which is why said programmer surrendered it to me. He thought it was crap - and he was right.) Why does anyone feel they can improve on the Beatles? Yes, the mixing was sometimes abyssmal, but it was the best that was available at the time. To take those works and play fast and loose with them to the tune of "Love" is, in my opinion, wrong. Got this wine-cellar, with a thousand bottles of vintage wine worth a million dollars. Oh - wait! Let's break those bottles and try to make something even better! I've listened to the revamped music of the Beatles, and I steadfastly remain a purist. I have the originals, and as far as I'm concerned, that's all I need. This other remixed, revamped, re-done stuff is just fluff. |
| spaceman (Vienna, Austria) | Posted: May 20, 2010 - 17:02 This is really well done. I've never heard of that "Love" performance thingy, but the soundtrack is exceptional. Long-time Beatles fan here, and I'm loving it. |

I've been to Vegas before but never had a reason to go back until Love came out. I thought I would go one last time to Vegas to check it out. Love was so great I will be going back - maybe every year. AMAZING I saw the show and was blown away as well! |

When asked if he prefered the "Love" album in stereo or 5.1 he replied, "mono." Is that because he's now mostly deaf? Sorry, bad joke. I heard a great interview with Sir George on NPR, what a humble and selfless man! Amazing accident of fate that all of the differently talented people responsible for the Beatles came together for even one meeting, and a miracle that they were able to collaborate despite egos and make such high art. Not sure how I feel about these mashups, but glad it's staying in the public ear. |

In fact, I think it's pretty cool how the Martins exposed the rhythmic affinity between the two songs, something, I daresay, none of us had imagined much less observed.  A friend just laid a copy of this on me as a house warming gift, and I have to say that—even for a Beatles purist such as me—that this belongs in every serious fan's collection. I do regret, however, that they just didn't put the CdS show on a DVD and include it with the set, for it's unlikely I'll ever be going to Las Vegas for any reason. |

| travism | Posted: Sep 10, 2009 - 12:04 Not being a "hard core" Beatles fan, my first thought was "I didn't know they did this". Speaks to the quality of the remix that my first thought wasn't "that's not the Beatles". |
| apd (Toronto, On) | Posted: Sep 10, 2009 - 12:02 dmax wrote: but..but..it's two songs (at least). It's not a remix, as people keep calling it - it's a mashup. Rhythm track from one source, melody from another, other noises thrown it... I totally adore the creativity of the mashup. Good example: Blondie meets Doors for a cross of Rapture and Riders on the Storm. BEST example: Britney vs O'Jays and the mashup of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" with "Backstabbers." Brilliance. that Britney/OJays mash-up was awesome. Can't imagine that Bill would ever play it but it's worth tracking down. |

The originals are better in every way, I think. I'd give it a zero if I could. Solid "1" for now. Let's say different, not better. Old and new versions both have their place. I find it energizing to hear Beatles songs in a new format. It's still the Beatles ... and had the blessing of the survivors and families. |
