Chances are, if you start singing this anywhere in the world, you will get at least one call back. When The Beatles achieved the incredible feat of holding the top five positions of the US chart in 1964, this song was right up there. Despite many people’s attempts to suggest that McCartney wrote the song about a sex worker, knowing Macca the chance...
John Lennon was quick to lean heavily on his inspirationswhen writing songs and the words for ‘I Am The Walrus’ leapt right up from the page. The song was directly inspired by the work of Lewis Carroll and sees Lennon use an allegory to create a mystifying point. “Walrus is just saying a dream,” recalled John in his infamous 1980 interview with Pla...
One of The Beatles’ stand-out albums, Rubber Soul is often thought of as the first time the Fab Four really stepped out of their comfort zones. The group, especially John Lennon and Paul McCartney, were keen to take their music away from the pop charts and radio-friendly hits about ‘boy meets girl’. One song, in particular, will always go down as o...
Let’s clear one thing up immediately, just because we think this is one of The Beatles best ever song, doesn’t mean we think The Beatles were the best to ever sing it. That accolade must go to Joe Cocker. But, there can be no denying the sheer quality of the track at hand. Penned for Ringo Starr to take lead vocals on, the track was a truly collabo...
“It just came. When I started doing the melody I developed the lyric. It all came from the first line. I wonder if there are girls called Eleanor Rigby?” We imagine there certainly are now! The luscious trace is beautifully mirrored in the lyrics which depict the story of a lonely old woman. One of many great McCartney tracks from Revolver—arguably...
A Cavern Clubclassic, ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ is arguably one of The Beatles breakthrough tunes. It set girls hearts alight and made the Fab Four the talk of every town. Macca’s count-in may be famous but it was the stinking riff that followed which told every music fan around, this was no boyband. In 2007, Macca recalled of the song’s creation:...
In the early days of The Beatles, the band could do no wrong. They churned out a succession of hits that not only got teens on the dancefloor but also sent them to their local record stores (or perhaps even the electricians) to pick up the latest singles. One such bopping tune that would help their success was ‘She Loves You’. About as classic a Be...
One of Paul McCartney’s most political songs sees the Beatle sit down to write ‘Blackbird’ after seeing countless stories of civil rights suppression in 1968. It’s not only one of his simplest songs (using only his vocals, his acoustic guitar and a metronome tap) but also most powerful. Macca said of the song in 2008: “We were totally immersed in t...
Perhaps one of Lennon’s most passionate deliveries came on the band’s Let It Be track, ‘Don’t Let Me Down’. The song certainly isn’t the most complex piece of music you’ll ever hear, but Lennon’s inner-rocker comes out in full force on this track. It ranks high as one of The Beatles most precious numbers. It’s certainly one of the most impassioned....
Endlessly covered and possibly overplayed it can be easy to overlook the songwriting genius that goes into a song like ‘Yesterday’. In the same way we all take sliced bread for granted, forgetting when it was the best thing, one can sometimes forget how beautiful this track truly is. McCartney even picked it as one of his favourites: “Well, it’s di...
