3. (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with Wonderwall (1968)

added on 21.12.14 | |

4. (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with The Beatles Help! (1965)
discovered by Andrew Wendland in April 2024 | |
revealed on 16.04.24 | |
sync length = movie length (approx. 1 hour 32 minutes) | |
start CD at the beginning of the movie when the sacred statue appears | |
play tracks 1 through 6 | |
skip tracks 7 through 10 | |
play tracks 11 and 12 | |
repeat CD using the same procedure until the end of the movie | |
the untitled tracks 6 & 11 are also known as "The Swamp Song - Excerpts 1 & 2"; this sync joins these two pieces together by skipping over tracks 7 through 10 | |
clues - the first song on the album is called "Hello," which is really close to Help; the fifth song is "Hey Now!" with an exclamation point similar to the film title | |
the film has a Part 1 and Intermission, which end conveniently at the end of the first play-through of the 31-minute shortened album | |
personally for me, this was one of the hardest syncs to crack ever! |

the last song "Better Man" has a long silent portion of over 30 minutes, which obviously leaves a section of film with no synchronization; I recommend watching this portion for story continuity; however, one option is to skip this portion, and restart the CD at 1:16:45 of the film and play until the end |
