The Beatles Words Of Love - Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly shows up in The Beatles video

WORD OF LOVE

a Buddy Holly cover song

The Beatles’ Buddy Holly cover is given a charming and shiny new music video.

The Beatles’ cover of the classic Buddy Holly track ‘Words of Love’ is certainly not new but director Pete Candeland (Gorillaz, Imagine Dragons) has given the track a new lease of life with a partially animated.

The clip uses footage from The Beatles’ concerts, tomfoolery and time on the road and intersperses them with cute animation which gives the short video an endearing, home-woven aesthetic.

We see the band’s “tourbus” loaded to the sky with luggage drive up and down and undulating landscape and see screaming fans clamour to get close to the band as multi-coloured confetti streams from the sky. 50 years after their debut album, Please, Please Me, was released, the video gives an impressive look at the frenzied Beatlemania days.

The video perfectly chimes with the often psychedelic vibe of The Beatles’ as one shot of a tourbus coursing up and down a rollercoaster melds into another speckled 1960s shot of the Fab Four grinning or recording in a studio.

The video lands in the same month as the BBC’s Beatles rarities album, ‘On Air – Live At The BBC Volume 2′, which showcases the many songs that the Liverpool band recorded in the BBC’s studios throughout their career. The 63 track compilation was extracted from the impressive 275 unique musical performances The Beatles played for the BBC Between March 1962 and June 1965 and also includes 23 previously unreleased excerpts of studio conversation and bantering with the BBC radio hosts.

The Beatles’ ‘On Air – Live at the BBC, Volume 2′ compilation is out now on Capitol.

The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation

The mission of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation is to honor Buddy's legacy as well as to make Buddy and Maria Elena Holly’s dream of extending musical education, including songwriting, production, arranging, orchestration, and performance, to new generations regardless of income or ethnicity or learning levels. We will empower a new generation to follow in Buddy's footsteps.

TBHEF now has a fantastic roster of 24 International artists,most who have already been presented with a unique guitar.

18 of the guitars have installed behind the sound-hole an original fret from Buddy's Gibson J-45,the instrument he wrote so many of his great early songs on.

Each of the 24 guitars has a different Buddy/Cricket song title on the headstock,and also on the hand-made outer leather cover,which is identical to the one Buddy himself made.

Some of TBHEF artists are Ambassadors for the foundation as well,but all the artists have one thing in common,a mutual acknowledgement that Buddy's incredible music legacy has been a major influence in their own careers.

The artists will promote and publicise TBHEF in their own particular way,and some like Dave Stewart,Nokie Edwards,Waddy Watchel,Graham Nash,Alan Clark,Peter Frampton,Brent Mason,Sharleen Spiteri,Willie Nile,Mike Berry and Marty Wilde have already given us great support.

Dave has provided TBHEF with a great video performing Raining In My Heart,Waddy has recorded the most beautiful version of Words Of Love,The Hollies have allowed us to use their brilliant version of Peggy Sue Got Married and of course Nokie has just completed the superb instrumental CD for TBHEF

Heartbeat Radio, a station now available on Shoutcast features Buddy Holly's music 24/7, Matt Burley, the new station's program manager, told Vintage Rock 'n' Roll Examiner on Aug. 3. "The station will feature the complete Buddy Holly catalog, songs by musicians that influenced Holly, such as Elvis Presley and Little Richard and rare interviews with Holly and the Crickets," Burley told us.

He said the station will also include covers of Buddy Holly songs by current musicians that pay tribute to Holly's music today and shows how he still influences the music of today.
Both Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney contributed to a pair of competing Buddy Holly tribute CDs that were released in 2011 to honor what would have been the musician's 75th birthday. Paul McCartney contributed a raucous version of "It's So Easy" for Fantasy Records' "Rave On: Buddy Holly" on Fantasy Records (also available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca in Canada). Ringo Starr, contributed Holly's "Think It Over" to"Listen To Me: Buddy Holly" (also available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.ca in Canada), which was produced by Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) and Songmasters for the Verve/Forecast label.
Burley says this is unique. "I am a huge fan of Buddy's music and I have yet to see or hear of a Buddy Holly station," he said.
You can hear the station on Shoutcast internet radio. Burley is also in charge of Fab4Radio.com, which features music and information about the Beatles, including the weekly Beatles news podcast "Things We Said Today," which we co-host with Ken Michaels.
