I would like to offer a song download and the artwork for my CD to everyone. The song is Track 4 from the CD. It is my version of “Because” by the Beatles. The version on the CD is a different mix than the one available on iTunes and other music websites. My original idea with this song was to go with a hip hop type beat and groove. I gradually toned it down as the song evolved and ended up with this version which is available on the CD. The full artwork is also not available from mainstream Web downloads. Here is a link to the DOWNLOAD SONG

I have always liked the song and after hearing the amazing acapella version that opens George Martin’s LOVE soundtrack I was drawn to it it even more. The m7b5 chords actually came together easily in my steel guitar arrangement. I hope you like it. Aloha, Joel
