The Story Behind the Song: Awakened by my daughter playing a piano version of 'Across the Universe' in November, 2007, I remember how inspirational her interpretation of John Lennon's acoustic guitar version was for me and I asked for her to record the piano track immediately so that I could consider the arrangement and production further. Description: Following our relocation in January and the studio configuration of On Top Of a Cloud, Lake Tahoe, I went to work immediately on the basic tracks by interpreting the electric guitar, bass and drum parts the way George Harrison and surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr would likely have contributed to a theoretical production of the Spector-produced acoustic guitar arrangement from 'Let It Be,' the twelfth and final studio album from the Beatles.

"...quite catchy. Good chorus as well; great lifts there. Cool music. I love the incorporation of the eastern and Indian influence. This song has a more ethereal feel... Again, nice visuals with the lyrics..." ---Taxi, July 7, 2008 "Adore this song. It sounds [great] with you singing it. Really great." ---Taxi, April 24, 2009 |
