What happens when you take some of The Beatles' most iconic songs and strip them back to just their vocals?

Using new software, producer, musician, luthier and composer Galeazzo Frudua was able to offer a completely new side to some of the rock band's most iconic hits.
Gone is the piano, guitar and drums, and all that's left are their incredible voices...

Frudua explains in the video descriptions that these renditions are "nature instructional" and represent "a never previously released substitute for listening to the original song".
By honing in on just their vocals, Frudua believes it allows people across the globe to "have a new and different understanding" of the songs.
