*”free as a bird” is a song originally composed/recorded in ‘1977’ as a ‘home demo’ by ‘john lennon’*
.
(in ‘1995’, a ‘studio version’ of the recording, incorporating contributions from ‘paul mccartney’, ‘george harrison’, and ‘ringo starr’, was released as a ‘single’ by ‘the beatles’)
(it was released ’25 years’ after the ‘break-up’ of the ‘band’ and ’15 years’ after the death of ‘lennon’)
(the ‘single’ was released as part of the promotion for the beatles anthology video documentary and the band’s anthology 1 ‘compilation album’)
(for the anthology project, ‘mccartney’ asked lennon’s widow ‘yoko ono’ for unreleased material by ‘lennon’ to which the 3 remaining ‘ex-beatles’ could contribute)
(“free as a bird” was 1 of 2 such songs (along with “real love”) for which ‘mccartney’, ‘harrison’, and ‘starr’ contributed additional ‘instrumentation’, ‘vocals’, and ‘arrangements’)
(“jeff lynne” of ‘electric light orchestra’, who had worked with ‘harrison’ on harrison’s album cloud nine and as part of the ‘traveling wilburys’, was asked to co-produce the record)
(the music video for “free as a bird” was produced by ‘vincent joliet’ and directed by ‘joe pytka’; from the point of view of a ‘bird in flight’, it depicts many references to beatles songs, such as “strawberry fields forever,” “penny lane”, “paperback writer”, “a day in the life”, “eleanor rigby”, “revolution”, and “helter skelter”)
(“free as a bird” won the “1997 Grammy Award” for “best ‘pop performance’ by a ‘duo’ or ‘group’ with vocal” and was the beatles’ 34th ‘top 10’ single in the ‘united states’)
.
(the song secured the group at least 1 “top 40” hit in 4 different decades…)
(‘1960s’ / ‘1970s’ / ‘1980s’ / ‘1990s’)
