The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread

[BitterTom]

If I Fell came on earlier and to be fair, it is absolutely beautiful. The vocals work perfectly with each other. May just be me though but do you lot think it ends on the wrong chord? Like I said, might just be my ears but doesn't sound the right chord to finish on.

Sounds fine to me but I've been living with the song for years.

Won't hear a word said against Something. Tep is right about the bridge, superb.

Bloody awful song.

For a minute there I thought you were discussing SAE
Too many threads in the go!!!

Woke up with Sexy Sadie in my head.

Polythene Pam - one of my favourites.

Good track but I was always partial to Mean Mr Mustard right before it.

I recall reading John Lennon describing those connected songs on Side 2 of Abbey Road as the shittiest shit ever recorded. He thought (at the time of the interview, anyway) that they were half-finished and evidence of a band just scraping the bottom of the barrel. He was crazy, of course, but that's what he said.

I seem to recall something from the Revolution in the Head book that a lot of the work on the album was done by Paul before John came back in from out of town to lay down his tracks sort of last minute. I could be entirely misremembering that though.

That sounds about right. John definitely had one foot out the door throughout it all (plus he was using heroin at that point), with Paul, as usual, trying to keep the band together and on task. Late period Beatles is Paul at his most heroic.

On the other hand, I understand it's a bit of a "if you hold a butterfly too tight you'll crush it" kind of thing. Some retrospective assessments have it that Paul's desperation to keep the band together it ultimately a large factor in what pushed them away. Not sure how true that is but it makes sense on a conceptual level.

The writing was on the wall, no doubt. The intensity of being a Beatle was enough that John and George, the least in love with the whole concept of the Beatles by that time, wanted to be their own man. I can't imagine anything keeping them together, regardless of what Paul did or did not do.

Only just realised I meant And I Love Her. It came on earlier and though it's a solid track, I just don't like the chord it ends on. Doesn't call for a major chord to my ears.

Sour Milk Sea from the Esther demos! Too bad George gave that to Jackie Lomax, would have made a fine addition to the White album
