Brian Wilson _O_
HAHAHA !!! Hundreds of Vox AC30s all called MAYs !!!!!
That was really good :)
That was not really good.
Why on earth, after the 4 bar intro, does the 5th bar start early and proceed at a quicker tempo to the intro? That's absolutely hideous, and I cannot understand how the dozens of professional musicians and producers that heard this prior to it being finalised/released did not notice that. The only explanation is that it is intentional, but then, it's so jarring and ghastly that I cannot believe it is intentional.
It makes no sense.
Aside from that, this is just typical of these charity ensemble cover things; the production ensures the song loses all charm, subtlety, and emotion that it originally had.

Well it IS Brian Wilson's song and the man himself is on the whole recording, and ultimately it had to have been up to him if he had an issue with the bar + tempo change which evidently he doesn't appear to have had.
I doubt he had that much of a say over the final mix. He wasn't the producer.
But, even if he did have a say, my point still remains: why would anyone want an intro that's out of time with the rest of the song, in a totally unmusical way?
Perhaps it's a glitch on the YouTube video or something. That's a more understandable explanation.

Hmm, listening to the intro again, I think the bigger issue is the flutes come in significantly delayed on the first beat of the 4th bar, which *makes* it seem like the 5th bar is much too early.
It's a bloody edited advert, not the whole song!
Oh?
Actually I hope I am correct! But apparently this version is just an advertisement for BBC Music, a full single version will be released for BBC Children in need.
Hmmmm maybe this is the full version??? Hope not!
It's no different to the original, go listen again... jeez
Wow, some things get taken far too seriously lol
