This is one of those songs that’s so complexly simple and timeless, it blows my mind that someone could’ve thought of it. We’ll always be grateful for this one, Mr. John Lennon.
My dear pal and hero, Mike Viola, joined me on this one over a year ago, and it may be one of my favorite covers we did for the series.

Being a Liverpool lad who no longer lives there, this was a joy to listen to and remember. Thank you x

How come you don’t have him featured on this song in Spotify... that’s kinda messed up.

[@anusha8085]

Beatles, Radiohead, John Mayer...oh boy

[@dwmueller76]

I love this song! Great cover. I play a version of this but not nearly as good ! Both sound great but guy doing the harmony ! Wow ! What perfectly beautiful tone. I may be just a tad jealous !

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

Incredibly impressive. Excellent arrangement and engineering, laser-accurate vocal tuning. Damn fine work.

[@loljo554]

Josh Turner Guitar couldn’t agree more 👍😊

[@bobbybinks3886]

Cant get better than being complemented by the other josh turner, and In my opinion the better one of the two!

[@DB-jf6fm]

If you haven't seen her live make sure you do! Even more impressive live. Incredible guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. All so effortless and pitch perfect...and she's only 22! Floored by her performance at Poisson Rouge in NYC the other night.

[@guimmoraes]

oh my god you here, big fan

[@TheSyntheticOmega]

I listened to this and thought "Josh Turner would probably love this" then saw you in the comments haha

[@jeffa6780]

The Beatles wrote that in their mid-twenties. Rubber Soul. I was 13 years old when that album first came out. I KNEW exactly what they were saying in that song and started crying. I thought it was how older people reflect back on their lives. I'm now 66. I was right. Of course, you don't have to be old to have those feelings.

[@julieanderson100]

I understood it on one level, but it was after I experienced a special bond with my once-in-a-lifetime dog (who is no longer alive) that this song took on an even stronger meaning.

[@hamidyacoub]

with the difference that when you get old enough you physically feel the painful loss of those you've lost along the way. When you're a teenager you understand perfectly but you've not yet cried the heartbreak of losing faces forever.

[@JohnJames-kw5de]

@ Jeff A beautifully expressed

[@DDDDdJagr]

Shut upppppppp you old idiot. You interpret this song that way because you’re sad.

[@bridgettejones3292]

I love and cry every time I hear it. Beautiful version by these two.

[@wormsnake1]

The harmony on “some are dead and some are living” is simply stunning. Overall just an beautiful rendition.x

[@susanroycroft89]

Absolutely true

[@marudebaka6041]

She just changed the melody on that line. I agree that it sounds great.

[@gracelenehanvaughn1816]

I've been listening to her version for years but I had no idea it was recorded LIVE?!?!? Dang, huge respect. Absolutely beautiful.

[@nicohands9171]

You got a man sweetie 😘 Im a war hero

[@TLMuse]

As I hit play, I was thinking, "What a lucky guy, to harmonize with Madison." A minute in, I'm thinking, "What a lucky woman, having such a fine player and singer to accompany you." Really fine harmonies, Mike; quite different from the original, but staying true to the spirit of the song-one of Lennon's best. -Tom

[@shawnuel]

TLMuse Well, in music circles, Mike is a borderline legend. He was the music director for the "Walk Hard" movie and soundtrack. Has several solo records and a bunch as the leader of the power pop band, The Candy Butchers. He also contributed songs to That Thing You Do.

[@Papayajoseph]

I did not recognize him but he is the original performer for That Thing You Do.

[@shawnuel]

@@Papayajoseph Yes. I believe he co-wrote the song, also, with Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne who tragically passed of Covid-19 yesterday.

[@alexwest909]

That's exactly what i was thinking.

[@beckyfinch6628]

You two did John Lennon proud!!!!!! I have never said that before when it comes to Lennon EVER!!!!!!! Lennon is one of a kind and my favorite singer/songwriter of all time!!! VERY VERY NICELY DONE!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!✌️🎶☮️

U can never go wrong with Madison Cunningham. I really really love her especially with the cover song ‘So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright’.

[@bazingacurta2567]

What? It's very easy to cover The Beatles well.

[@M54JC]

My dad was a Beatles fanatic, which is practically an understatement, considering he listened to Breakfast with the Beatles every Sunday morning, as well as having karaoke sessions with my mom and uncle every Saturday night. My bedtime lullabies were my dad strumming the guitar to the oldest classic albums of the Beatles. So when my dad passed away from cancer, this was the song I chose to go with the slide video. I can’t listen without balling my eyes out.

[@hemersonoliveira7047]

Don’t say that !! Now your making me cry

[@temoalayohan471]

Please sing more with Mike Viola.. his voice is so amazing..

[@thomashamiltom]

[@hankwojo]

[@xrxs1020]

beautiful rendition of one of John's most moving songs.

[@Acoustion]

Lyrics "In My Life" There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places had their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more In my life I love you more

So beautiful, I watched this and the tears just rolled. One of my fave Beatles songs. Still has that effect on me over 50 years later.

Being a Beatles'fan, I'm quite demanding and reluctant to covers, but I must admit this is a beautiful one. Congratulations!

[@lukaswingendorf8474]

@@edgardobravo7351 absolutely, they never fail to amaze me, even after so many years.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

This is because their songs cannot be improved on as they are 'perfect' songs. I have heard covers where they change a chord, even subtle changes like minor to minor 7th and the song falls apart. You have to play the correct chords and sing them without too much ornamentals ect.. Mozart music was the same where if you change a single note it again just falls apart. Never mess with perfection.

[@nahor88]

@@MICKEYISLOWD Himesh Patel does a pretty good job; this is actually one of the songs where I prefer his slower, acoustic version over the original. I love the original, but with the rock background and speed I don't get the same feels.

She has one of the most relaxed but powerful force

[@babylonlarry]

Ever since I discovered this gorgeous rendition, I come back every day to listen again

[@dinobelli6360]

I can’t help but cry when I hear this cover. Morning coffee, crying in my kitchen as I type… no shame. You guys absolutely killed it. Unbelievable. Lifelong, die-hard Beatles fan as well. You MORE than did the song justice.

[@georgecrothers5618]

A perfect example of how a song can evolve. Really like this.

[@NoMeWithoutYou1]

There's so much going for this performance: Arrangement, harmonies, guitar-work, mood and videography. Nicely done.

[@phillipbrown351]

Legit. Their combination of voices, the mic’ing, sound production, so good.

[@stompin7792]

Just WOW!!! You made a grown man cry. Possibly the most beautiful version of this song ive ever heard. The beauty you bring to this song is unparallelled. I sincerely hope you two are teaming up for some more songs in this tone. Please please do more songs together. You guys have the magic

[@jwickman1175]

Those harmonies were wonderful! Both vocals were impeccable!

Absolutely outstanding cover. The guitar arrangements, the vocal harmonies. Had chills the entire way through. I'm going back in for a second listen!

[@wilfredzwart2154]

So incredibly beautiful! Those two voices are going together so well!

[@rgr4929]

I can't listen the original Beatles song now without thinking in the melody variation that Madison sings in "I know I'll often stop and think about them"... that melody change is AWESOME!!!!! gives me the goosebumps!

[@GrahamsYouTube]

What a gem of a cover, both vocals are so complementary

[@Soccernat358]

I listen to this almost daily and it brings me calm during pandemic. It also brings me sweet joy.

One of the best covers of this song. Nice harmony and guitars. Well done!!

[@vivientan6894]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart... this is one of my favourite songs and your voices, the harmony and arrangement is so different and yet has not taken from the original song and added to the meaning of the lyrics. I’m moved .

[@murasakimirisan]

Absolutely stunning, a beautiful rendition. Those harmonies. Brought me to happy tears xoxo

[@aimformyheadplease]

This song alone is worth a subscription. At my wedding a long time ago my late mom danced with me to the original of this beautiful song. When my daughter gets married (hopefully, she really wants a family but has a chronically bad taste in men), if it's OK with her I'm going to have this version played for that special dance. Thanks for the exquisite arrangement, playing and vocal, just blissed out right now.

[@AdamPalatine]

So pretty! Madison, you guys give this a wistful longing for lost beauty that even the original didn't capture as well.

[@dancook1118]

I remember American popular radio before the Beatles and then just after. They kept revealing new kinds of songs and finding new ways to deliver surprises to us about the power of music to affect us. Ms Cunningham has delivered this song in such a simple yet powerful way. She absolutely knows how it’s done.

[@thechazdarby]

So rad! Mike is one of my all time favourites! Super cool to get to hear you sing with him! Nicely done!

Nice cover. It has always amazed me that Lennon was only about 24 years old when he wrote this song that has such a mature and bittersweet perspective on life.

[@m.h.1593]

That’s truly mind-blowing. I’m 30 right now, and I always forget that The Beatles started in the industry really young and wrote their best songs in their 20s. There was indeed a maturity about artists back then that unfortunately only about 1-5% of the artists out there today have.
