"Remember You"

---&---

I just figured out the bass part for the soundtrack version of "Remember You" (to be recorded and posted in a few days when it's the 51st anniversary of the March 31st recording [although I'll probably do "Nothing's Changed" first]).  Knowing the bass part for the single version helped, although I was misled by one part that goes lower in the single version.  It took some time to figure out that it doesn't go that low in the soundtrack version.

It's in 3/4 time, and the rhythms don't seem that complex, so I think I'm going to try to write out the notation for it, just so I have a written record of the differences between the soundtrack and single versions.  Of course, that also means that I have to write out the notation for the single version.

Over the last month or so I've been thinking about what I've been doing here, and I've come to the decision that I need to start posting some notation (even if it's just tabs or chord progressions).  I'd had the notion that because I figured out the parts, I had some kind of ownership of them, that I was the possessor of this arcane knowledge.  But anyone could do what I'm doing: I'm just figuring out the parts.  And if posting those parts in notation (of whatever form) leads to more interest in the Zombies, it can't be a bad thing.  So the bass part of the soundtrack version of "Remember You" should be the first notation I post in full.
