Talking with some fellow co-workers, I discovered that none of them had ever heard of the Beatles song 'Free as a bird'. This prompted me to look it up right away.
This is a very beautiful song and watching it really makes me miss Liverpool. As you see when you watch it there are tons and tons of references to some of the Beatles earlier works.
'Free as a bird' started life as a John Lennon demo and was given to the remaining band in 1994 by Yoko Ono. The finished the recording as though Lennon was away on holiday and it was released as part of the Anthology album in December 1995.
It was one of 2 new Beatles song, the other being called 'Real Love'. Also another good song. In my eyes, like many others, they did very little bad music.
What is your favorite Beatles track?

Quick memories from the UK
As promised here is a selection of photos from my UK trip. For more you can visit my Flickr here
Hastings:
First off I visited my Dad in Hastings, South East England. It's a small coastal town famous fro fish and chips, smugglers, quaint buildings and rowdy drinker types.
As you can see if beautiful.
Battle:
Whilst in Hastings we popped over to the nearby town of Battle. This is where the Battle of 1066 took place so that's why there is a boring picture of a field. The abbey in the background was built after the battle. To be honest it was a bit boring but it's all historical and stuff so had to be visited.
Eniskillen, Northern Ireland:
We then headed off to Eniskille in Northern Ireland. It really was a beautiful but still full of reminders of the fact that a struggle has / in some ways still is happening between the British Government and some Irish parties.
We spent a lot of time here growing our beer bellies!
Liverpool and Chester
A few days were spent chilling in the home of the Beatles and one of the oldest tudor cities in the UK.
Finally Home to London:
Trafalgar Square, Some scary people sculptures and a old graveyard in South East London.
Not much else to say really, apart from the fact that it was great!
