You're welcome, Outlucky. I'm glad it worked. (Unfortunately, I don't know how to help you with your request about the Twilight movie songs. Maybe someone else will know the answer to your question.)

Pretty relevant voices, as far as currently likable covers. "Blackbird" is gorgeous. It's redone for the film and beautiful both ways, old and covered, and one version is in-tune! Yikes. The Beatles rule all though.
I keep seeing the "Across the Universe" movie video at our public library and have been thinking I should check it out one of these days. I'm curious to see how the Beatles' songs are woven into a plot. I have also been tempted because I love the title song, "Across the Universe," by the Beatles.

However, I've also thought the movie probably would suck (I worried it would trivialize the songs) and so I have skipped over it...

Until now. Thanks to you, maidahl, I will check out the video the next time I'm at one of my favorite creations of civilization (the library). I listened to a few excerpts from the movie tonight, such as the two below, and they definitely make me want to see the whole thing. So thank you, maidahl, for your post about it:

I Want To Hold Your Hand - from "Across the Universe"
Listening to now, and I like it much better than the Beatles' original, especially with the same-sex attraction component. Much more emotional and sweet than the original song.

The way you have presented yourself in your few posts so far make you seem incredibly pretentious.

That is all. I'm bored with you now.
Ouch.

Because - from "Across the Universe"
I love this song and movie scene because it encourages us to listen to the music in other people and hear their most beautiful notes.
