Yes, I did all the parts

I'm not kidding. Arthur's got my stems. Ran out of room on my hard drive. Those Beatles covers are mine, and stealing them to use as ML training isn't ok. Claiming that Sony's dunces did them is even worse. Mark Dorrell told me he'd spent months on I Feel Fine with them, and they still failed. - The whole point of those covers, aside from getting into the headspace to write a script, was Paul telling people that AI wasn't as good as an expert musician covering them with the supervision of an actual Beatle. By taking shitloads of acid and speed and weed, we made plausible Beatles. By using clicktracks, ML, and autotune, you failed to make plausible covers. You needed my physical performances to create plausible fakes. Bluntly, Don told me those covers are worth a lot of money. You guys owe me an apology and we might even pursue a defamation claim. - My covers and original songs were so good that I'm now an official Beatle. George Harrison joked that I'm the last surviving Beatle. It became official several months ago. You're not Beatles, but I'm Batman Beyond. Paul asked me to do Things We Said Today that way because Himesh couldn't. Working For Each Other has done a great job of restoring their anti-war legacy.

I wrote that song, not Paul. Paul suggested changing the title from Sing It From The Heart. That's all. I've got chord charts in my diary. It's registered with APRA.

I 'hear' from the ghosts of George and John, much like I hear from Sondheim. It's a Māori thing, to be blunt. We'd say it's like feeling a presence rather than a dialogue. I feel what they might've thought; that's exactly what Paul asked me to do. George was a friend of my father, Andrew Riddell. Eilish is a Harrison, so I've even dated one. 😅
