Whatever Happened To By John Lennon Just did some editing to the demo, boosting certain elements and whatnot. And yes, I did get rid of some lyrics to my personal taste.
Lyrics: Hey Well she used to be an artist but she threw away the key Got a job, you know, 9 to 5 And the most peculiar people hang around her everyday Bunch of slobs, you know the kind Now she's coming from nowhere keeps herself in the dark Hides her head in a scarf Got her books in a shawl Whatever happened to the woman we once knew the river's rising fast And if she hears me now trying to get a message somehow don't burn the boats till last Well, she used to be a swinger, now the rope's around her neck Such a shame, ain't that a shame And her mother was a lawyer, taught her how to read a check You know the game, who's to blame Going nowhere ah she keeps herself in the dark Hides her head in the scarf got her hooks in the shawl Whatever happened to the woman we once knew the river's rising fast And if she's listening now trying to get a message somehow don't burn the boat it's built to last Well she used to be an artist but she threw away the key Got a job, you know, 9 to 5 The most peculiar people hang around her everyday Bunch of slobs, you know the kind Going nowhere, ah she keeps herself in the dark Hides her head in the scarf got her books in the shawl Whatever happened to the woman we once knew the river's rising fast Ah, if she's listening now trying to get a message somehow and the boat is burning fast
Lyrics: Whatever happened to predictability. The milkman, the paperboy, evening tv? How did I get to living here? Somebody tell me please! This old world's confusing me. With clouds as mean as you've ever seen Ain't a bird who knows your tune. Then a little voice inside you Whispers, Kid don't sell your dreams, so soon Just kidding lol. Great performance.
Strange that "Whatever Happened To The Life That We Once Knew" from "Free As A Bird" is somewhat similar in one of the lines of this song. The line in "Free As A Bird" was added by Paul. Maybe Paul heard this demo and grabbed the line?
John is the best rock singer and songwriter of all time, most original and inventive as well. It's a pity a psychopath killed him and deprived the whole world of his creative genius.
Creo que este tema deberia y ser Sean el encargado de desarrollarlo Np menosprecio a Paul y Ringo Solo que opino es una valla para Sean de todas maneras Y quiero observar su proceder El tema es un diamante poderoso reto para cualquiera
Cor, isn't this good. A real expert would be able to identify the guitar. What a pity this one wasn't on the cassette that Yoko gave them as it's a lot more dynamic than Now & Then and the others.
It wouldn’t have been on the cassette since it’s a solo effort. Still, I think Sean should give it to Jack Douglas, producer of Double Fantasy, and have him clean it up just a bit for release. It’s a great song.
At the time he wrote/recorded this people were saying exactly that..."whatever happened to John Lennon?" That's the whole point. He completely disappeared from view for a few years, and people were intrigued about what he was doing.
Whenever I hear demos and outtakes from virtually any artist I understand why certain tracks made it onto releases while others did not. This one is in the better of left unreleased pile.
The triump of the wicked is only short and the rejoice of the hypocrite is for a moment.See what happen to this fool when he mock God, he was shot dead by his fan.
At least he has fans 😂 if I mock god and get ran over in 50 years will you say that my mouth got me killed? Don’t be ridiculous, madman exist everywhere it’s just unfortunate such a great man had to suffer because of them
Great song, there was so much more to come from this genius artist. Such a shame he was taken from us.
This is good enough with just John and guitar. He was such a great rhythm guitarist.Remember the triplets on All my loving !
Great strumming he was a master at that
Rhythm and syncopation also.
All my loving
So fabulous. Like the Beatles, you are still here.
Yeah... this track is GOLD! The perfect demo to creating a gigantic HIT from.
If I were Sean, I’d give this to Jack Douglas and have him produce this. Douglas wouldn’t over-produce it.
El número 1 es una broma
Even though Douglas overproduced two albums?
I'll keep the comment short....THIS IS WONDERFUL....
Really miss you john
Lyrics:
Hey Well she used to be an artist but she threw away the key
Got a job, you know, 9 to 5
And the most peculiar people hang around her everyday
Bunch of slobs, you know the kind
Now she's coming from nowhere keeps herself in the dark
Hides her head in a scarf
Got her books in a shawl
Whatever happened to the woman we once knew the river's rising fast
And if she hears me now trying to get a message somehow don't burn the boats till last
Well, she used to be a swinger, now the rope's around her neck
Such a shame, ain't that a shame And her mother was a lawyer, taught her how to read a check You know the game, who's to blame Going nowhere ah she keeps herself in the dark
Hides her head in the scarf got her hooks in the shawl
Whatever happened to the woman we once knew the river's rising fast And if she's listening now trying to get a message somehow don't burn the boat it's built to last
Well she used to be an artist but she threw away the key
Got a job, you know, 9 to 5 The most peculiar people hang around her everyday
Bunch of slobs, you know the kind Going nowhere, ah she keeps herself in the dark Hides her head in the scarf got her books in the shawl Whatever happened to the woman we once knew the river's rising fast Ah, if she's listening now trying to get a message somehow and the boat is burning fast
LENNON ON ROUGH TAKES STILL SOUND TERRIFIC JUST PERFECT🎉😂
Thank you John lennon. I love John.
A Rock n Roll Legend, always like himself. An outstanding one! Greetings from Portugal🎈🎼💙💛
Wow !! I really dig this -- it rocks !! Groovin' right along with JL💥
Why not just release this? It’d shoot to number 1 no doubt.
😊😊😊
😊😊😊

Meu deus, que obra maravilhosa nos deixou John Lennon.
Morreu o homem, nasceu a lenda, o mito eterno.
Daqui a 100 anos ainda se falara em John Lennon.
O maior.
I love this one its so different from his usual work...kinda of rhumba cha cha deal going on with that piercing voice
AMAZING work
Great John ❤
Great song ❤you was taken from us way to soon🙏✌😔
Sencillamente excelente y único 💫✌️✨🤗
This is more modern than the present music now
Imponente canción.
Of course it’s John…..I’ve heard many bootlegs that had this song on it. Plus you can hear it is his voice.
Awesome love this ! Rocks
Skvělé, děkuji ✌️🤩
Hi i likethis a lot hope you can do more of john;s ureleased songs like this.
seconded!
I think people don't believe this is Lennon.
The original guitar and voice are unmistakably Lennon. John has a unique voice that is very hard to imitate well.
Wow, never heard this before... very different for a Lennon song, like hes imitating America or some other nand of the period.
Very Bowie-ish with some early new wave influence.
Buon giorno con lui e ' sempre un buon giorno
To je krásně řečené 😀💓✌️
John Lennon o melhor ❤
Lyrics:
Whatever happened to predictability.
The milkman, the paperboy, evening tv?
How did I get to living here?
Somebody tell me please!
This old world's confusing me.
With clouds as mean as you've ever seen
Ain't a bird who knows your tune.
Then a little voice inside you Whispers,
Kid don't sell your dreams, so soon
Just kidding lol. Great performance.
Nice one Uncle Hermes
All musik han gjorde var bra,som soloartist och med Paul.Bara INTE Yoko medverkade!!!
☀️🎶Extra la guitare 👍
BUEN TEMA DE JHON LENON
Strange that "Whatever Happened To The Life That We Once Knew" from "Free As A Bird" is somewhat similar in one of the lines of this song. The line in "Free As A Bird" was added by Paul. Maybe Paul heard this demo and grabbed the line?

High-ground goodness running♪🧃
🙏🎶💗👁💗🎶🙏
John's "Another Day."
First time I hear it !
I got a song from John and David, they put it out too me, just a harmony it goes D7 G7 F D A G.,....
John is the best rock singer and songwriter of all time, most original and inventive as well. It's a pity a psychopath killed him and deprived the whole world of his creative genius.
This would've been a great 90's single
Creo que este tema deberia y ser Sean el encargado de desarrollarlo Np menosprecio a Paul y Ringo Solo que opino es una valla para Sean de todas maneras Y quiero observar su proceder El tema es un diamante poderoso reto para cualquiera
Excelente comentario mi amigo Tito.
This gives you an idea the direction his music was going too. A new John Lennon That Was not to be ...
Damn
Buonasera
what are all those pill bottles?
John ❤ de THE BEATLES
q buena version
Он никуда не уходил
miracle aligner? tlsp?
It does sound a bit like it. Turner’s a big Lennon fan.
Cor, isn't this good. A real expert would be able to identify the guitar. What a pity this one wasn't on the cassette that Yoko gave them as it's a lot more dynamic than Now & Then and the others.
It wouldn’t have been on the cassette since it’s a solo effort. Still, I think Sean should give it to Jack Douglas, producer of Double Fantasy, and have him clean it up just a bit for release. It’s a great song.
Uhhh ... they were all solo songs when they were on the cassette. What are you talking about?
chords? :O
Please put you name in it so ez 2 c whom, singing. Chat some soon.
What year was this done?
1986.
Probably 1979 or 1980
Ask Maharishi what happened he's enlightened
An Alphabet agency killed him…too outspoken. While Ringo is doing cabal master classes. John was the balls of the Beatles.
What have you been smoking?
He was shot to death. Next question.
eh?
🎼🔴Top 🧩👍
Great song, even with the drum additions, but shame the vocal has been mixed out at various points in the song.
Surly Paul McCartney and Ringo would fix this up??
Fix this up? You mean complete it? Yes, but John probably would’ve done a better job with it on his own. His song, his vision, his arrangement
Whatever Happened To -- John Lennon ? I'm brain fried but i know he was murdered in 1980.
He was shot that's what happened.
😢
I kind of thought the title was pointless. If you are even a casual fan you know he died in 1980.
At the time he wrote/recorded this people were saying exactly that..."whatever happened to John Lennon?" That's the whole point. He completely disappeared from view for a few years, and people were intrigued about what he was doing.
Whenever I hear demos and outtakes from virtually any artist I understand why certain tracks made it onto releases while others did not. This one is in the better of left unreleased pile.
You are not able to hear the potential in this demon?
*demo
@@andreasfahlen4936You know you can edit your original comment, right?
No I cant do that, I could earlier.
@@andreasfahlen4936 Exactly. Jack Douglas could produce this. It’d be a number one record.
The triump of the wicked is only short and the rejoice of the hypocrite is for a moment.See what happen to this fool when he mock God, he was shot dead by his fan.
please don't attempt to write anything ever again
At least he has fans 😂 if I mock god and get ran over in 50 years will you say that my mouth got me killed? Don’t be ridiculous, madman exist everywhere it’s just unfortunate such a great man had to suffer because of them
Tiacbendi181, you will never win anyone over with your trash comments. Best to keep your thoughts to yourself.
