Priscilla Ahn Covers ‘Julia’ by The Beatles

Priscilla Ahn has released this sweet cover of the Beatle’s song “Julia”. As a bonus she’s set the music to various footage from her international tours. It’s a simple yet personal look at her recent musical escapades. This woman never ceases to impress me.

Today was a beautiful, crisp, windy day. When I looked outside there was a big morning moon hanging so delicately in the sky. It made me think of my favorite Beatles’ song, “Julia”. I realized I didn’t have the song in my computer though, and crazy enough, The White Album isn’t available to purchase on itunes! (There’s something I sort of like about that though)

So I decided to cover it. It only took me 30 minutes, and it was simply to satisfy the “fix” I needed to hear, sing, and play this song. You can hear a lot of lip smacking, and a lot of unfinished ‘ideas’ of harmonies….

I’ve put the song to a bunch of tour videos* I’ve been collecting over the past 3 years. I didn’t try to synch anything up. These are just randomly chosen clips** that I really like. (sigh…) I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am just not a perfectionist, and I never will be. So take it as you will. I hope you enjoy it.

love,
p. ahn
