A Beatles deep cut we love.
“I'll Get You” — the Lennon-McCartney B-side to She Loves You.
This was the first Beatles song Gary ever loved as a child.
Here’s our Valgary recording from 2014.
Real instruments, real voices, no AI.

NEW SHORT! 🎙️💛
We found a little harmony session from 2012 on an old drive —
three-part vocals flowing straight into the first verse of “Nowhere Man.”
Just a tiny slice from our home studio.
Hope it gives you a smile.

What if a forgotten 1963 Lennon–McCartney tune finally got the recording it deserved?
We rebuilt “I’ll Keep You Satisfied” from the ground up — warmth, harmonies, and that Cavern-Club heartbeat.

What place still lives quietly in your heart?
One of those fascinating Lennon/McCartney side roads.
“I Don’t Want to See You Again” (1963) was written by Lennon & McCartney and given to Peter & Gordon.
A restrained, melodic gem that still feels fresh.

I’ve shared a very personal film today.

A village, a war, and a quietly lived life.

🎶 Some songs weren’t lost — they were given away.
In the early 1960s, The Beatles were writing at an impossible pace.
This long-form video looks at “I’m In Love,” a John Lennon song that quietly slipped through the cracks.

We’ve started sharing a connected video series about music, memory, and the quieter stories that surround The Beatles and the 1960s.
Everything is gathered as one continuous playlist here if anyone feels like exploring:

We’re Gary & Val — musicians and storytellers shaped by the Beatles, the 60s, and the lives that grew up alongside that era
Those stories became a memoir, and now we’re sharing the music and memories on YouTube.

Great comment Ron. Very few people honour the song these days. That also includes some musicians too.
This one is arriving quietly.
Val wrote it with love, and we wanted to share it gently — for anyone who might need it.
🎶 We’ll Still Be One

Thinking of Linking isn’t a “lost Beatles song.”
It’s our respectful interpretation of an unfinished idea Paul later spoke about.
Story first. Song second.

Some songs don’t arrive fully formed.
They wait.
A few lines.
A laugh.
A hook remembered.
We didn’t rush this.
We didn’t chase it.
We simply finished it — with love.
Thank you to everyone who listens with open ears tonight.

Tomorrow morning we share something fragile.
An unfinished Beatles song — not polished, not claimed, simply listened to.
It’s taken care to share it the right way.
🎄
I echo all of that. Very thankful for the guitar - AND the Beatles.
OUT NOW 🎄✨
Our original Christmas song — Together at Christmas.
We grew up with Beatles Christmas magic…
this is our own small offering to that feeling.
We hope it brings you warmth tonight. ❤️

From a window, late at night.
A Lennon–McCartney song the Beatles gave away — heard quietly, in shadow and light.

We sent a message in 2007.
A few months later, it was opened.

Thank you ❤️
Years ago, we sent a message hoping it might reach Paul McCartney.
We assumed it would disappear into the internet forever.
But something unexpected followed.

Beatles or ’60s fan? 🎄
Looking for a meaningful Christmas gift?
We wrote a memoir and created a YouTube film series about growing up in the shadow of the Beatles — in England and America — and how music eventually brought us together.

We sent a message in 2007 we never thought would be opened — to someone rumored to be Paul McCartney.
It was.
The short version is here ⬇️

The full story (Thumbs Aloft) arrives Sunday.
Very good - turn the bass up a bit I would say. What is incredible, is that Paul recorded this one morning and in the same afternoon he recorded Yesterday. Incredible at all levels.
Quick hello from Gary & Val. Where are you watching our YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/@shadowsofth... from, and what’s your first Beatles memory? One sentence is perfect — we’ll reply to everyone.
Paul McCartney wrote WOMAN in 1966 under the pseudonym Bernard Webb, just before Sgt. Pepper.
We’ve shared a slower, blues-leaning tribute to one of his most mysterious songs.
