I get chills when Paul sings ''pain'' and ''vain''.

[@Lucille_McCartney73]

Paul shows real emotions when he sings 😊

[@GT380man]

It’s because of a very unexpected key change. The succession of notes work, but the last note isn’t typically how such a series of notes would end (which is why most of us get it wrong half the time). Cleverer people than us might be able to give it a name, like “Lydian” or “mixolydian”, etc.

What has always struck me about this song is how full sounding this simple two part harmony is. For a long time I suspected that George was slipping one of his sly middle harmony parts in there. But no...it’s a two part harmony sung by three voices. Lennon’s low harmony part is double tracked. The effect is just brilliant in its simplicity.

[@Namssy]

Amazing how he reaches high tones

[@tyrannosauruszeppelin2205]

I played John's isolated vocals and Paul isolated vocals simultaneously, and now I hear the harmony of the real song. Beautiful how both parts, which are different, together make such a beautiful sound.

Can you do another and isolate John's harmony vocal?

[@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony]

[@silvialeprattomazza6214]

Their voices blended so beautifully.

[@RingoMonsanto]

I noticed Paul and John don't have vibrato in their voices when singing, which I guess serves well for their ear-pleasing, well-blended harmonies.

[@daitosf5537]

They do just not in this particular song

[@robmartinez7517]

Yup. They sometimes do when singing solo. But no vibrato works best for harmonies.

[@andrewbaerm.d.3984]

They double miked this as well.

[@Timliu92]

For harmonies, vibrato-less approach works best. It is a part of good harmony technique to ensure that the voices blend perfectly. For solo singing though, vibrato is very useful to add towards one's expression and make his or her voice stand out.

[@loosilu]

Paul is a genius at harmony in general. There are SO many examples where he is singing harmony with someone else, and he makes the other person sound amazing. I suggest the live version of him singing Something with Eric Clapton. Eric uses vibrato, McCartney doesn't. Clapton's voice isn't special but Paul makes it sound gorgeous. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp2Qc4GKmq-LoNk&feature=emb_logo

[@frmrchristian303]

I've always loved the part where Paul's voice cracks, on the second verse ~ "was in va-". It's definitely the same vocal as the studio track. I love the fact that you can hear imperfections on music, pre-autotune!

[@loosilu]

I've heard the mono single version, and there's no crack. Apprently the engineers rushed through the stereo version.

[@kihntagious]

I think I Will is my favorite but this is up there. I'm learning more now than we ever could in the 60s. I had my sisters red Arvin transistor radio and if I heard , a Beatles song I'd what? I was transfixed by the harmony . I owned some albums but at $3.88 Mono 4.88 Stereo, babysitting 6 boys and one girl for 25 cents an hour, I could own all. I remember buying them. The first and last of whatever that was.

[@maurolsmoura]

It is fun when we hear John's voice exactly when they sing together she same notes. Probably because you filtered by the pitch and Lennon's voice came together with Paul's

[@benpietrzykowski9216]

[@johne1599]

One of John’s greatest songs and he said it was his 1st attempt at writing a ballad. Wow!

[@GT380man]

Wow indeed. The odd thing I find is that, instead of questioning that remark, which we should, given none of the Fab Four had had any musical training, we accept it, because we’re told it’s true. I’ve always loved this song since, as a tiny child, I was allowed to mess around with my parents discarded “Dansette” record player, blue and yellow, if I recall correctly. Like many households, we had a pile of records, mostly singles (“45s”), and If I Fell was among them. Right up to aged 63, it never once crossed my mind to ask the question, “Are the songs plausibly written as claimed.” I no longer think so.

[@charwest9449]

Wow. I always thought that melody line was sung by John. Paul could sound exactly like John if he wanted to ...

[@dom_leo3571]

[@goldclaw3370]

[@johne1599]

John wrote this great song, then Paul added a brilliant 1/2 step modulating Intro. A really great musical device. Solo neither one of them ever matched what they accomplished together.

[@strathman7501]

Are you sure that Paul wrote the intro? I have heard this before but never seen a reliable source. According to John himself, it was the bridge section that Paul provided: "It was If I Fell where he gave me the middle-eight on the F." If you have a source regarding the intro i'd love to see it. Thanks.

[@S0nyToprano]

I think they wrote quite a few good songs in their own right. The one that always sticks out to me the most is Imagine… despite how overdone that example is. We have to remember that by the start of the White Album, their songwriting partnership was not as strong as it was before. So often times you’d have John or Paul write like 95% or more of the song and the other providing maybe 1 or 2 very small pieces of feedback that would generally bring minor changes to the song.

[@aidanhickey9845]

​@@strathman7501I think John was confusing that with another song. "If I Fell" doesn't even have an F in it.

[@myguitardetective5961]

No, Paul did not write the intro -John wrote the entire song (it's on his work demo composed in a key too difficult for him to sing). Paul arranged the low harmony part for John to sing turning it into a two part harmony ballad: their best ballad in my estimation.. In Q Magazine Paul falsely claimed the intro for himself: he's been doing that a lot in his old age. Fortunately, for most of his claims, we have the documentation and the tapes (as here) that settle these matters of compositional authorship.

[@myguitardetective5961]

@@aidanhickey9845 He confused it with "In My Life" (as he suggested he might have done in the David Sheff interview). That F chord in the middle-eight is in "In My Life"..." For (F) people and friends..." That odd half-step drop was a trick Paul learned from Joan Baez's cover of the Jamaican slave song "All My Trials"...an idea that he first "nicked" in the Beatles song "I'll Get You"" and that he fell back on time and again (most notably in "Penny Lane").

@@nnneptune3418 That note really is way up there. That's a great Harmony like so many other great harmonies they've/he's done. I was just surprised they released it with that glitch because they could have done a few more takes. But this was before the days of spending a lot of time in the studio on a single or album. They had to work quickly in those days to keep up with their singles and album commitments.

Having listened to so many outtakes (mostly courtesy of the Anthology series), I always took that broken note for a laugh-take that they decided to keep.

[@edwardroark7122]

This is great, but IMO, this is simply the melody (and an absolutely beautiful one at that). It’s John’s part that is the harmony. And that’s the one I have a hard time hearing specifically. But thank you.

That’s amazing that you were able to get this when John and Paul’s vocals were mixed together; Beatles only used 4-track equipment for AHDN. It was the first pop album that utilized it, I believe.

@American Movement In my band I get to sing all the high parts which isn't easy when you are 65 years old. The hardest song we do is Crosby, Stills and Nash Wasted On The Way. Graham Nash does some really high harmonies that are a real challenge. Keep up the good work on your KZbin page.
