"I'm Only Sleeping"-The Beatles

"I'm Only Sleeping" is sung by John. But then on the line "Keeping an eye on the world going by my window," Paul joins in on harmony, and the three words "by my window" just pop straight out of the song in 3D Paul-ness. It's like, "Woah, THERE he is." On the ends of phrases in particular, he's unmistakable.

Do you ever think about how weird that is? That a person's singing voice is like handwriting---can be imitated but never exactly copied? People can complain about Paul forever, but he has something that no one can take away, which is that he's Paul.



listen for it around 1:16 and and again at 2:04
