Someone should really recreate "Hailie's Song" the right way

Postby AbramIsaac » Feb 8th, '13, 09:00

Forgive my wording, "right" might not be the correct term, but the title was too long.

So, as I'm sure some (or most) of you know, the beat for "Hailie's Song" was originally a sample-based production, pulling from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles. Beatles samples have historically been sort of a tricky thing to pull off, but apparently George Harrison (the guy who wrote it) was willing to approve the sample. Unfortunately, he died, and his widow wasn't so accommodating.

While I'm sure the song was completely reworked, I would be interested to hear what it would sound like with the vocals laid over a beat sampling "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". That's a beautiful song, and I'm sure it would have been a perfect fit.

Someone should do this, god damn it.

I didn't know this at all but I like the idea. If I had a file of Eminem's vocals I'll definitely see what I could cook up considering getting the sample seems like the easy part.

It probably won't be nearly as good as you might want it to be so don't expect anything magnificent.

Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure he completely reworked the melody in his singing of it, but it might be interesting to hear anyway.
