Martha My Dear

I was hesitant to ever cover The Beatles... but, try anything once, I guess.

Recorded on a Zoom H2. Carson McKee on guitar.

I keep coming back to rewatch this awesome rendition and it's a shame I can only hit the like button once.

The level of genius in Lennon's and McCartney's compositions (and pieces like "Martha" are compositions, not just songs) still blows my mind to this day! The rhythmic, chord structure and melodic complexities of this and other great songs, and the shear beauty of all those elements working together as they do still leaves me speechless when I hear again, 50 years later! Props to George Harrison too. Good job by these two kids.

That’s the best argument I’ve ever heard for learning to play a musical instrument.

Tears come to your eyes when you hear these two guys, so young interpreting such a beautiful song from almost 50 years ago, very very good.

Incredible! However, by law, a cover version of "Martha My Dear" must immediately segue into a cover of "I'm So Tired".

[tefenstrat]

I have to say I think this is the best cover I have ever heard in my absolutely warms my heart that a younger generation is keeping these songs that I hold dear to my heart alive and well.... Thank you thank you guys !!

I've been a Beatles fan since December of '63 and I've heard tons of Lennon-McCartney covers over all these years. This is truly one of the all-time most enjoyable. You guys play really well and I *love* your voices. Subscribed!

These two talented young men - I still have faith in the future. Respect and admiration.

A great cover even without a battery cover :)

[alexlynch]

I'm an old musician, not easily impressed. This was one of the more enjoyable performances I've experienced in some time.

[maryjensen]

It makes my heart happy to know that McCartney and Lennon live on 50 years later.

[neilreeves]

A classic Beatles tune beautifully interpreted and played. I keep coming back to this again and again.

Here, we can see what would happen in an alternate universe where John and Paul grew up in Louisiana instead of Liverpool

[GretschProf]

I keep coming back to this song because I think it's one of the best collaborations of these guys. Love the banjo in there.

[Tyndan]

Everything you two do when you get together is amazing. Make an album together so I can pay for it.

[krusty]

These youngsters know good music from before they were born and play it well

[stevoschannel]

You guys don't realize what joy you bring to those of us in the grey work a day world marching steadily to our deaths...you bring Color and beauty makes life just a bit sweet...thank you

[douglasrobertson]

you have no idea of the JOY this little vid brought to me 👌

[curtandoscar]

THIS IS GORGEOUS! Seriously - I'm a person picky about Beatles covers and don't always like them. This is perfection. Thanks!

Josh: When those of us that grew up with this music heard it fresh out of the wrapper, we were amazed.
I feel no less amazed by this great re-arrangement.

We were also told, by our elders, that this music was just a fad that would wither & die quickly.
Thanks to you both for helping to keep these treasures alive, and for helping to prove my elders wrong.
