Toris "While my Guitar" on Anthology is not bare in production. it only starts with guitar alone! imagine taking the orchestra out and see the difference! George Martin did a brilliant job there. "Scared" is crying for that. production is about imagining how things might work best for a track.
It looks like we will remain on complete opposite pages on this one. I will simply reiterate my contention that George?s song is great in its bare form. It?s a beautiful song. Gorgeous. It could have been released with just George on acoustic and it would have done it for me. There is a lot, lot more to work with. On the other hand, I cannot imagine Scared being much chop in any form, whether it be embellished with the strings and horns of the London Philharmonic Orchestra or the Stuebenville High School Dropouts Band. A weak song that I just can?t get into. I think it's crying out for a melody, if anything. A great album, nevertheless.
