This isn't the video I intended to publish today. The first one ran into difficulty and had to be postponed. It's a goodie about tanks, and you will see it in a month or two. The second one would have been another Q217 video, but after searching for two hours for the book, I could not find it and gave up. So, I quickly made this one instead as a replacement.

It's a bit on the sad side, so be warned.

For No One - a stripped-down melancholy cover

Paul McCartney wrote this one for The Beatles, and I've always found the arrangement they recorded to be too perky for the sadness of the lyrics. This is my alternative interpretation. I am a particular admirer of the bit that goes "She wakes up. She makes up. She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry. She no longer needs you." The mundane nature of what she does contrasts powerfully with the significance of it.
