Dear Prudence
John Lennon/Paul McCartney - 11:09
My dirge in homage to The Beatles! This version of the song came about while I was improvising with a drum sound on one keyboard that was driving the sound of another keyboard simultaneously (oh, the horrors of modern technology!). I was playing the hypnotic drumbeat you hear on the CD while the other keyboard was droning notes; it all seemed to come together on its own at first. However, the arrangement, overdubbing, and mixing proved absolute torture but I think the result is worth all the sweat. Jodee played some truly cathartic solos on this one and Joanna's vocals iced the cake.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, open up your eyes.
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies.
The wind is low, the birds will sing
that you are part of everything.
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?
Dear Prudence, let me see you smile.
Dear Prudence, like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain,
so let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?
