1222:âPaulâs main vocal track is in stereo, because we gave it some spread with the Waves S1 Stereo Imaging plug-in, so it has a different sound than Johnâs lead. We also split off two little bits to be able to pan them left and right. His fourth vocal track is the âaaahâ section, and below it is an âAah delayâ aux track. Further down are the three first-generation vocal tracks, out of which we pulled the non-singing material, like a bit of piano, the alarm clock, and Mal Evans doing the orchestra bar count.â

The article says Paul McCartney sings the "Ahh's" after the middle section of the song. Paul just sings the part that begins with "Woke up, fell out of bed\Dragged a comb across my head" and ends up with "Made my way upstairs and had a smoke\Somebody spoke and I went into a dream". The "Ahh's" one

Tkbrett said I think Giles' opinion is important (since he had access to all the original tracks when remixing it). To me it'd be important to distinguish. â
1080:
I believe the line "I'd love to turn you on" is first sung after the third verse not the second, so in the section entitled "Musical
Structure and Development/Basic Track" I would propose changing the first line of the 2nd paragraph to "As a link between the end of the third verse...".

writer, I first had to get past the assumption that it must be Lennon. Once you actually listen to it without that assumption, I think it's clear it's McCartney's voice. (Not that a personal opinion from one of us has any bearing, I know ...)
1325:
How about removing McCartney from the sentence (e.g.: "This transition consists of vocalised "aah"s, reinforcing the dream aspect...") with a footnote covering the controversy? I think the Giles Martin tweet is referenceable, as well.
