5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Beatles Remakes of All Time, October 5, 2000

Although I think "Across the Universe" by Fiona Apple is truely one of the best Beatles Remakes of all time, and I think the live version of "Sleep to Dream" found on this CD single is also an outstanding one, if you are looking just for the song Across the Universe it can be found at less expense on the Pleasantville soundtrack. However, if you are a Fiona Apple fan, I recomend this CD as a collectors item, for a great version of Sleep to Dream, and to own her outstanding version of Across the Universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Takes Courage!, August 5, 2003

Fiona did it a few years ago with this one.
No one... should even attempt a Beatles song, it's just not right, But FIONA did it so incredibly that she deserves nothing but praise for this new masterpeice and her attempt was justified.
Fiona's love of the Beatles is apparent in everything she writes, its in her blood, you can tell she grew up with it around her.
What makes Fiona great is is her own spin...her beautuful sensual voice and pure honesty adds a new dimension to a song that could never be re-made until Fiona. Thanks Fiona for such a beautiful version.
I know its been years since its out, but til this day...nothing comes close and it still stands the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Lennon would be proud, July 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Across the Universe (Audio CD)

I first heard Across the Universe on the Beatle's Blue album a few months back. WOW! I was stunned at how beautiful the song was. Then I found out Fiona Apple had made a remake. I couldn't believe it when I heard this version because it takes John Lennon's masterpiece to new heights. You have to ask yourself how much better Beatles' music would sound if they would have recorded their songs today. For the critics that said the original sounds worse you have to remember that even John Lennon said he was unhappy with the final version(I belive at the time the Beatles were fighting a lot so this song never got much production time or came out the way John Lennon wanted). If you love this song you should check out other Beatles' classics. Anyway this CD is worth it for this song alone.
