The Long and Winding Road by The Beatles

The Long and Winding Road

By The Beatles


I grew up on the movie Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. I really don't care what people say about it to me that movie is the greatest movie in the world. I usually don't like covers of songs but in this case I enjoy the covers more than the original since, as I said, I grew up on this movie. No matter how much I have tried to listen to the original version of this song while composing this piece I couldn't help but thinf of the Sgt. Pepper Version with Peter Frampton. There aren't many differences between the two but for those differences I wanted to warn everyone ahead of time that this piece is mainly based off of that version. I will put a video to the Sgt Pepper version of the song below.
