''John sings SOLITUDE a beautiful UNRELEASED song that gave birth to the fantastic ''I'm Losing You'' song and now we have the missing "gap"
and I understand the bridge with Just Like Starting Over (since it starts almost like a variation around Starting Over).
Grow Old With Me (piano) is a different take with lots of different nuances, not a part of the double-tracked demo from Milk & Honey as at
the middle of the song he messed up with the piano chords during the bridge, and we don't find it in the final demo.
Grow Old With Me (guitar) This song gave me the chills... This reminds me Boys And Girls' mood from the Imagine-soundtrack.I can't understand why EMI didn't include THIS on the Anthology box or on the Acoustic compilation. AFM RECORDS did a great set with a piano side and an acoustic guitar guitar side. THIS IS The Acoustic that should have been released!
And by the way, the sound quality is really like "Anthology" (but without the noise-post-treatment like on the "Acoustic Lennon" ) which could confirm the Anthology '98 vault lead... I mean, it has the Anthology-sound signature... (like 100% of the material on Remember NYC)They could have edit the middle-eight when John's is still trying to figure what could be the perfect chord for the bridge. I've also noticed the variation of the chord during the "for our live *it's true*" (for each verse). John has a beautiful sweet voice on this song; I'm happy that they didn't try to rework it for a Threatles track, but I can't understand why G.Martin had to work over the double-tracked piano with a pristine and clear acoustic demo like this.The only reason that comes to my mind is that they didn't know or haven't find the track at this time, but it's really strange. . .
