Power pop with a decidedly 60's sound. Lotsa Brian Wilson influence in vocals and arrangements in general.

Story behind the song
Wanted to do a Beatles cover in a whole new way. Can't improve on there recordings, so it would be silly to try. The "techno-ish" beat lead me to this arrangement...

Well now this is quite a surprise. Brilliant Matt. I normally would consider this sacrilege but only you could pull this off. What a great original take on a classic. Excellent work. Very impressive.

This is absolutely amazing! I would never dare to turn and twist and old classic like this, but you do it with humour and great skills. Qouting other Beatles songs along the way jut adds to the fun. Great work!

Only you could pull this off. You manage to avoid pastiche or cheesy cover version - somehow breathing new life into these songs we have loved forever. Hilarious and at the same time musically toothsome - a neat trick - the result is a brilliant piece of practically perfect pop. Fab!
Where do you start, writing a comment about this crazy brilliant Beatles stew? More importantly, how do you begin to write this music? It's respectful and reverent, yet full of joy and willing to take huge chances. And it WORKS. Simply incredible, Matt!

I never thought it was possible to do such a different take on Beatles songs and make it work...but this really does hang together brilliantly. The arrangement and performance is absolutely superb.
