The La's - Man Who Knows I'm Only All By Myself

[@wormsnake1]

Lee Maver’s stands head and shoulders above all his contemporaries. A genius writer, a superb guitar player, a wonderful riff maker and vocals unmatched to this day. His talent flows as naturally through him as the river running out to meet the sea. He is the Gallagher brothers in one body and then some more. The dexterity of his playing on “All by myself” is just stunning. I get emotional hearing these songs, there’s a spiritual element at play, an ethereal beauty that speaks from the soul. I’m gutted the story went the way it did but I’m grateful that we can listen to the songs that we have. “Timeless Melodies” that will live on forever.❤️🙏🎼.x

Such a beautiful soul is Lee Mavers

[@susantodd3233]

Holy heavens! Feels sacred, enchanting.

So beautiful

[@amytowers604]

It really feels like he is talking from the soul and not just putting words in a song. It's truthful......and that pause after the into to who knows? Wow, it just made me stop. It's so delicate, like the moment before a leaf falls from the tree.

Another chilling real beautiful piece

When I first heard the La's, I hated it, apart from There She Goes. But I persevered with the album even though it's not normally my thing, and glad I did, as it become one of my favourite albums of all time. What a shame there wasn't anymore albums.What is Lee Mavers doing to us, we need another album, mate. He's got an amazing voice, and his musicianship is awesome, and the songs have so much melody and power. Who else loves, The Looking Glass? Come on, Lee, a couple more albums please, I can't wait any longer!

TLG is profoundly beautiful & is climbing into my Best Ten songs I’ve ever heard.

[@mikehawthorne1396]

They mastered and reinvented the 60's - this actually reminds me of the Stones' - Lady Jane.

[@mikogale]

this version of 'man i'm only human' is so fucking cool

[@malterwitty5433]

This EP is their best work IMO , imaging if they done a 2nd album 🤯 ( I’ve the Japanese version of this EP)

[@GT380man]

I wonder what Lee Mavers & Aziz Ibrahim would sound together? The second song has an Indian mystical feel about it, and Aziz would add a few riffs & augment / elevate an already ethereally wonderful song to the heavens. Aziz comes across as humble & collaborative, yet pretty determined & mega talented. Love Aziz’ weekly musical piece to camera. He was a big part of how Ian Brown became the solo artist he is. Music of the Spheres contains several utterly wondrous toons.

onlinetonegenerator.com/pips.html To mark the start of the hour, the BBC broadcasts a series of 6 tones officially known as the Greenwich Time Signal or more commonly "The Pips". The first 5 tones last 0.1 seconds and mark the 5 seconds preceding a new hour. The last tone is 0.5 seconds long and begins precisely on the stroke of the new hour. All the tones are sine waves at a frequency of 1000Hz.

Amazing, mate

[@Bootleghofner]

AbsoFuckingLutely Marvellous. If Lee Mavers wouldn't have been such a complicated cat, we could've had so much more great music..............

[@ToneLa]

I think the music "business" was too complicated for *this music*. Lads playing and the only job left is to capture the sound? What's to "produce"? You just need to hear the lot. Get some omni or XY mics to pick up the room, dynamic mics with NO limiters nor compression pointed at each instrument - four instruments, the harmonies soak in through the omni, the drums and bass lock, the lead and the rhythm harmonise, the voices soar. Wading through the La's catalogue so much was overdone - my favourite recording is probably the Tel Christian session, it balances naturally. You don't need to fuck with perfection. Replicate, don't produce, recreate, don't mix, you don't stir soup when it's just right la I just hope in this age of proper technology, Bandcamp and analogue tape studios Lee gets his vision out there. Lee - if you get the album out I'll wipe anything off this channel you want, fella. Til then... I will keep emptying my chest! I am fuck all in the La's story but the attention these old recordings I horde just keep touching people. I dunno what I was on when I discovered this band but it was the right stuff. Enjoy :) T x

[@eighthstv]

ToneGarvey If only it was that simple. Actually it is if you want it to be, there should be no excuses with the equipment and outlets available now. Lee’s always got an excuse though that’s the problem. Most frustrating thing in the world being a La’s fan.

[@scottstewart6353]

All By Myself is actually hard to listen to: it's so fucking good it makes me hurt.

[@Picnicl]

Please could you make a separate video with it in to a continuous length of flowing music by cutting out 3.14-3.44 and 7.57-8.13?

[@ToneLa]

yer wha

[@jstar9104]

The perfect ratio

[@jstar9104]

Ratio

[@GT380man]

Would you say why you want the cut outs? I think I understand the first part of your first request but I’d prefer to keep the fade outs & intros / preludes.

[@davidticktum6867]

To me, most of what I am hearing post first album are brilliant ideas - who knows, fishing net (love that one with great bass) etc, but the lyrics especially seem like first attempt. They are not complete songs.
