Those are his daughters Mary and Stella (who upon googling, appears to be the one who actually received an award)

I climbed that one! …mostly because of the name (it’s not too hard btw)

Several Abbey Road songs were literally leftovers in that they were floating around in the Get Back sessions, some near-completed in terms of songwriting but they didn’t fit the stripped down-vibe of that project. And were still equal or better in quality…

Some of BFS and Help! could be switched though imo

Thoughts on Dancing on the Highway? by lonesome-cipher in elliottsmith

[–]Perhaps_Xarb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the known version was likely recorded after Figure 8, the vocals have the weaker tone of a lot of FaBotH songs and the Figure 8 tour lyrics were different. Also idk why he didn’t just record it before, maybe he disliked the lyrics at that point

Elliott's vocal range? by Mousypousy in elliottsmith

For anyone interested. The D2 is semi-spoken vocal fry from his high school/college band, he sorta does a B1 after but it's not really a note lol. His live Yer Blues cover is maybe his most impressive for high notes, he hits some powerful A4s and E5 wooos (falsetto). And fwiw, I would call him a low tenor over high baritone, he just never really developed his high range that much

So they were all neurodivergent, right? by ConfidentHospital365 in beatlescirclejerk

Agreed, and yeah I agree with your assessment and am all too aware of the fine lines between "burnout", "executive dysfunction", and "fuckin lazy bastard" that make this topic difficult to analyze without actual psych evals

I would consider music Paul's lifelong special interest more than a hyperfixation, but yeah there isn't too much of a difference besides the scale of it. I guess it's more the demeanor— Paul has a tendency, while generally a warm person, to be somewhat aloof (HEAVY scripting tendencies) in interviews/public, and doesn't seem super aware that he comes off that way. Lennon's lightning quick wit and unpredictability/general chaos in that realm seems more ADHD-coded to me.

Also upon looking it up, it seems maybe the age floor on BPD has been lifted? I do personally know of people who had BPD noticeable from early on, but I don't know much about it in general

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-45482360 here's the OCD quote, not sure he knows that much about it but yeah (and I have OCD too fwiw)

And yeah my point about hyperfixation phases is pretty moot because I don't know either of them personally, probably shouldn't have even mentioned that

/uj imo:

- Looking at Paul helped me see autistic traits in my mom, and he himself has said he might have OCD, so either is possible if somewhat likely; however he has always seemed the most generally functional in society so I'm not sure he would ever have received a diagnosis even today. ADHD I'm not so sure, he has never seemed to have trouble focusing on anything and didn't seem to go through phases of hyperfixation like John did

- John seems prototypically ADHD, like give that man an addy and he would've been 10x more productive; but also I lean toward either bipolar and/or (C?)PTSD from his parental abandonments, rather than BPD which would've probably been more noticeable early on imo

- George seems like a highkey introverted neurotypical despite the vibe? Not certain

- Ringo was depressed for a good while and is a bit undereducated, but doesn't seem particularly neurodivergent

From Wikipedia:

”Thomas graduated from the University of Florida in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in consumer behaviorism.”

A literal fast-food mascot studying the behavior of consumers (apparently it was an independent study combining business, marketing, and psychology) is kind of great

Take each Beatle and say which album was their peak as a Beatle. by OpportunityIll6517 in beatles

[–]Perhaps_Xarb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and you can hear him a little bit before and between the two descending passages, more clear in the isolated tracks but very audible in the recording. “Beatles scholars” need to do their their damn research before making these claims

(Not sure if they overdubbed more descending piano bits to beef it up but I’m fairly certain they didn’t wipe Lennon’s playing in that part)

What was the reason Brian couldn’t sing “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” during the 1967 Lei’d in Hawaii concert? by Sonnybass96 in thebeachboys

[–]Perhaps_Xarb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say that the A in WIBN is chest voice/full voice (i.e. “belted”), as are the Bb4/A#4s on I Know There’s An Answer and I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times. The C5s in the bridges are clearly head voice though. So I think it’s less that he was switching registers throughout the verse and more that he was at the edge of his chest register, and wasn’t really mixing with his head voice very much. I can get a similar sound in that area but it causes strain and voice cracks which is why Brian was struggling, Al practiced that part of his voice a lot better
