I looked through the rules and didn't see anything that said you can't do cover songs so I decided to post this as it is now legal without a license so long as you don't make $$$$$ from it.

Cover of a Beatles song from their Revolver album (1966). Stayed true to the melody, lyrics and basic chord structure but where they used a French horn I used a soprano sax solo. I also added vocal harmony and a string ensemble. I always thought if you are going to cover a song somebody else wrote you should do something in the arrangement to "make it your own". Hope you enjoy it.

This song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney- C 1966

Really enjoyed this! You can never go wrong with a Beatles tune. Sounded great adding the harmony vox and strings. Everything had clarity in the mix. Great job!
 
You avoided the biggest problem with cover songs - not making it your own! I beleive that a good song lends itself to be being interpreted in a variety of ways, and your version proves that.
