I agree. I hate to admit it, but I kind of prefer all the Across the Universe over the originals. The modern touches really show a modern audience just how great these songs were. Like listening to someone covering Beethoven on an electric guitar.
Chords (partly for my own reference): Verse / Intro: D Em7 Gadd9 D Em7 A Bm A G D E7 G D Chorus: Fadd9 Cadd9 G Fadd9 Cadd9 G (not sure about the last line, it's mostly fine with no chord or an extended G)
bostonlucy I had just never been introduced to them. I obviously knew of them but I hadn't heard a lot of their songs. I did know and love this one before but this rendition is so beautiful and I can actually sing it. So many of The Beatles songs are not in a good range for a female singer so it was nice to have lots of female renditions to sing along to from the movie.
bostonlucy I never thought they were all that either. Just a movement :) however th movie brings more talent not just the same sound it was my idea at age 9 20ish years ago to do a beatles movie just like this. I was mad lol
I saw Ringo Starr in the fall with his All Starr Band. It was incredible. But mostly, I went to see Todd Rundgren. :) My friend from elementary school and I tried to create a Grease stage show. It never did pan out. We couldn't find a Danny. Ha ha ha... We still laugh about it 30 years later.
+SylviaMarie13 well i thought something like that too and i believe they are all supposed to be characters based on important musicians, like janis joplin, jimi hendrix.. just watch it closely, you'll understand lol.
@@homonnai9 Oh it's good, really good. Amazing in fact, it's just Irish Trad music sounds different, I don't know how to explain it. I guess growing up with it all my life, I am just used to it.
I know u posted a yr ago, just to let u know this song helped through the worst time in my life...that was five yrs ago when my best friend, My Father passed away..it can still bring tears to my eyes.
I've never seen this movie.... but my mom mentioned it and I had to check out the music and it's better then she described :D I want to see it now.... bad
I'm pretty sure they weren't reducing him to that. It's just, you know, they were talking about singing, and he's a lead character in Moulin Rouge... Which is a musical.
i personally love this version more. likely because this unfortunately was the first time I heard this song. so the original version sounds weird andntoo fast. this hauntingly slow melodic version, is beautiful.
+Cass Winchester its sad when people say this is their favorite movie and then are like "who are the Beatles" it like really dude there are so many Beatle references in the movie other than the music and names like even some of the lines and like their last performance being on a rooftop like the beatles and don't let me down was the last song the beatles performed and it was performed on a rooftop ike in the movie
@AgentDemonEyes I agree- this is a derivative work, based on something that was brilliant that came before. It both stands on the shoulders of giants and becomes something of its own, beautiful in its own right. If we never had covers, if we never could appreciate anything other than an original, we would never be able to hear This Land is Your Land other than sung by Woodie Guthrie and Eva Cassidy would have never been able to have sung the blues.
More fitting for what? Not trying to be a jerk, but if you ever get a chance to grab the DVD and watch the "making of" part, you'll understand why they treated it this way. They didn't want it to be like that horrid Bee Gees movie. And the song fits the mood of the scene it is sung in to a "t."
I guess you have your opinion but I am not sure what you are "fitting" this too. lol At least finish your sentence so you don't irritate people. Good grief.
I like the quietness of this cover. It feels more serious and it elevates the lyrics... but that's just my opinion.
I agree with your opinion ^_^ It all depends on the situation
Agreed.
It is so beautifully done ... the words feel like wings beating 💓
It's a grand opinion. She rose to the challenge.
I agree. I hate to admit it, but I kind of prefer all the Across the Universe over the originals. The modern touches really show a modern audience just how great these songs were. Like listening to someone covering Beethoven on an electric guitar.
one of the few covers that are actually better than the original.
the vibe of this song makes the lyrics stronger imo
Normally I disagree with people who say covers are better then the original. This is one of the rare exceptions.
And I agree. Very few renditions become better than the original. This being one of them. ✌️
My favourite Beatles tune. No matter who sings it, it always sounds beautiful.
Five stars.
I like evans version better,her voice makes me cry.Shes so pretty.
porque la eliminaron
Is she tho?
I agree, this is my favorite version of the song and I love the Beatles.
Makes me cry every time.
i love her voice so much. gives me chills.
She has the prettiest alto voice makes her high notes sound so delicate.
Chords (partly for my own reference):

This is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard
I heard the Beatles version on the radio when my grandma was passing away in 2011. Good song. My favorite movie!
+Roxy R Well that escalated quickly....
:´(
Ok now, nobody get upset, but the only reason I began to like the Beatles is because of this movie. I just never cared for them. Not sure why.

damned you got the rest of your life to catch up lucky you didn't miss out this music is thoroughly good
You don't have to have fireworks going off all the time for something to be wonderful and beautiful. I see life itself reflected in this rendition.
i imagine this is what walking into heaven sounds like
as someone with these lyrics on her thigh... I can say this: I hope it is because this song has saved at least one life.
+carposporophyte Totally agree!
I hope...
Not bad, for someone who focuses most of their energy solely on acting.
THIS IS THE SONG I LISTEN TO WHEN I PLAY WITH MY NIPPLES
Evan Rachel Wood has the voice of an angel (:
This is a beautifully done song come on 2024 give me hope and like this song and comment
this is to the little baby bird I saw get hit on the walk home today....RIP little angel.
I really want this to be played at my funeral.
One of my favorite memories of 2018, riding my bicycle through chester, pa singing this song.
Simply beautiful. Heartstrings of the old world.
Wonderful rendition... love it
she's voice is remarkable,love this music& this movie。
Evan Rachel Wood is very beautiful girl!!
Haunting. Paul and Ringo both love this film and without their approval, it would have never been released.
watching this scene in the movie, Joe Anderson who plays Max looks so much like Kurt Cobain, it is crazy.
you'll do a double take i'm telling you.
I say that all the time!
+SylviaMarie13 well i thought something like that too and i believe they are all supposed to be characters based on important musicians, like janis joplin, jimi hendrix.. just watch it closely, you'll understand lol.
+Jessica Hamilton but kurt cobain is from the 90s this movie is based during late 60s so that wouldn't work
Lilly Ryan kurt cobain wasnt around then so thats not possible
Lilly Ryan they are based more on people of that time
Dude I would love to play this version on the guitar. It's so well done. By far my favorite movie.
Sweet, Evan, very sweet. pretty voice!
I Love This Film!
Iduna ( Northuldra ) singing! This is so beautifull! Thank you, Evan Rachel Wood!
I love this song
She's a good singer.
beautiful music is just that doesn't matter who is singing does it touch your soul
Still here in 2019 ❤️
Major Killjoy yes I'm doing sing along with my family of this soundtrack
THANKS TIDE COLDWATER COMMERCIAL! TOTALLY HELPED ME GET IN THE MOOD FOR THIS SONG!
This is what I listen to wen I'm sad at contemplative...
I love her! She's soooo pretty and sings so well too!
Now there's a kind of music that could have come from Ireland. The music sounds like Irish Celtic folk music.
Partially the use of a hurdy-gurdy. That instrument can make *anything* sound folk-y.
Hahah, no it doesn't 🤣😂😅
@@demonhunter4423 but it's good, isn't it? 😁
@@homonnai9 Oh it's good, really good. Amazing in fact, it's just Irish Trad music sounds different, I don't know how to explain it. I guess growing up with it all my life, I am just used to it.

McCartney was inspired to write it while in Scotland as a reaction to racial tensions escalating in the United States in the spring of 1968.
This is like my favorite song ever.
Very nice!
"Take these broken wings and learn to fly"
i tip my hat to thee, Kahlil Gibran.
there is so much out there.
EVEN RACHEL WOOD IS AMAZING!
I love this song slowed down like this!!!!
Oh my gosh. I don't know if I've every agreed so strongly with anyone in my life.
SO beautiful.
This song is my two year olds favorite. We sing it and listen to it before bedtime. Such a beautiful song and voice.
I really wish she had so much more music...
Love this song
This is my favorite version
Everytime I need to cry. I come here.
I've never seen this movie.... but my mom mentioned it and I had to check out the music and it's better then she described :D I want to see it now.... bad
Brianna Perz it's on Netflix now.
Wow...this is such a beautiful song. :')
@KaylasaBlack It's in the film. If I do remember correctly, it's when Jude is back in Liverpool, and Lucy and Max are sitting on the dock.
beautifully sung...yeah im a fan
such a biootiful song :')
is she an angel or what
YES!! Love your thinking!!
i love evan when she's not crazy
Amazing.
Opening To Across The Universe 2008 DVD
AND THIS SONG !
Right in the feels
I'm pretty sure they weren't reducing him to that. It's just, you know, they were talking about singing, and he's a lead character in Moulin Rouge... Which is a musical.
best movie
My recital song for tomorrow :)
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!
this song brings joy to my heart
My ballet song

Que Hermosa!! :D
I love you for loving him too
OMG I've been looking everywhere for this cover and I have finally found it! God bless this is beautiful :')
Everywhere except the most obvious place?
Chills.
i personally love this version more. likely because this unfortunately was the first time I heard this song. so the original version sounds weird andntoo fast.
this hauntingly slow melodic version, is beautiful.
i wonder how many people know this comes from the beatles
+Cass Winchester You're wrong, this song is actually from The Beatles, not "the beatles" like what you wrote...P.S. I love you
+mike jacobs really? I didnt know it was from The Beatles. I feel so stupid! ps. i love you too
Only joking friend-o
+mike jacobs Wow! Theres this thing called sarcasm.
+Cass Winchester its sad when people say this is their favorite movie and then are like "who are the Beatles" it like really dude there are so many Beatle references in the movie other than the music and names like even some of the lines and like their last performance being on a rooftop like the beatles and don't let me down was the last song the beatles performed and it was performed on a rooftop ike in the movie
Ewan Mcgregor! I loved him in both Moulin Rouge and Star wars!
i think it is sooo romantic
She is so cool in True Blood :)
@2012teamjasper Agreed...I never would've expected her to be such a good singer ♥♥
I completely agree
all your life !!
nice
A great song that was written about the Civil Rights Movement.
i dont blame you. i would totally invite you in to share in my bliss haha
glad you agree Daniella
the first two ppl, HELL YES, but i would invite Joe Anderson too.
3rd time hearing this and i know all the lyrics
Music =D jajajajajaja
perfect comment in every way
I always get lost in this song.
6 people wish they could sing like that!:[
eargasm
I like how this arrangement is slowed down compared to the Beatles version.
haha Talk about an all-star cast list.
@AgentDemonEyes I agree- this is a derivative work, based on something that was brilliant that came before. It both stands on the shoulders of giants and becomes something of its own, beautiful in its own right.
If we never had covers, if we never could appreciate anything other than an original, we would never be able to hear This Land is Your Land other than sung by Woodie Guthrie and Eva Cassidy would have never been able to have sung the blues.
I can imagine Iduna singing this to her girls
2022 anyone?..
This song has nothing on the original! Beatles for life!
I prefer the original beatles version... shes got a very nice voice but the beatles version is just so much more fitting...
Have you heard the version by Sarah Mclachlan?
It's the Elliot Goldenthal arrangement that totally make this perfect.
More fitting for what? Not trying to be a jerk, but if you ever get a chance to grab the DVD and watch the "making of" part, you'll understand why they treated it this way. They didn't want it to be like that horrid Bee Gees movie. And the song fits the mood of the scene it is sung in to a "t."
Aodhan Browning Obviously!!! but this sounds nice too
I guess you have your opinion but I am not sure what you are "fitting" this too. lol At least finish your sentence so you don't irritate people. Good grief.
Six people never learned to fly... or see... or hear, for that matter.
@PatSikorski Namaste!
I get hella Bluebird vibes from this song, any other phannies?
