I saw Pleasantville on TBS tonight. I’ve seen it before but never really paid
attention to the closing music. Of course, the credits flew by & I couldn’t read
a word. The chorus was “Nothing’s gonna change my world, nothing’s gonna
change my world” It was a slow song by a female…
anybody know who does the song?
Appreciate it!!
It’s Fiona Apple singing “Across the Universe,” which I believe was originally a Beatles song
Thank you!
Now I can go to sleep!!
Ah! The “Jackaroo Dave” song!
It’s from Let It Be. I’ll go one better than providing the words and also provide the music.
Inspired by this thread, I went looking for this song on iTunes. They didn’t have the Fiona Apple or the Beatles version for sale, but they’ve got a pretty good Rufus Wainwright cover. Pretty good song for 99 cents.
Thank you all for the information. I knew I’d heard the song before but I didn’t
know that it was the Beatles who had done it.
Thanks for the links…you guys were a great help. It was driving me nuts trying
to think of the name of the song!!
The DVD of Pleasantville has a video for the song.
That cover is one of many Beatles covers from the I Am Sam movie soundtrack. It’s a great CD. Sheryl Crow, The Wallflowers, Sarah Maclachlan, Eddy Vedder, and other notable artists–I recommend you give it a listen.
