Covering a song most famously performed by The Beatles, and written by none other than the lyrical gods Lennon and McCartney is not an easy feat.   Presumably it takes courage and a high-sense of ones talent to ever dare enter a world requiring such skill and care. Doubtless, some have failed in their quest. In our opinion however this little gem ticks some serious Beatles covering boxes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ5WPXxNzPU Recorded by Fiona Apple for the soundtrack to the digitally recorded and selectively desaturated 1998 film Pleasantville, the largely contralto Apple sings to the rhythmic melody and breathes a new feeling into the lyrics, of which Lennon cites:
The words are purely inspirational and were given to me - except for maybe one or two where I had to resolve a line or something like that. I don't own it; it came through like that
The song resonates with the sub-themes of the mixed-genre film, which the director Gary Ross states is about the connection between personal repression giving rise to a larger political oppression. Enjoy.
