Paul has "the warlus was Paul"

Ringo says George's and his own name in Honey Don't

John arguably has The Ballad of John and Yoko, but it's not in the lyrics

I'm going by memory here, so I might be wrong...

Watching the “Beatles solo years albums” polls I’ve realised that the song treat her gently/ lonely old people hardly gets any love.
For me it’s one of the best things McCartney has ever written
What do you guys think?

Bob Dylan had a string of failed, acrimonious marriages; the accounts I've read suggest he behaved like a philandering narcissist.

Why don't people ever seem interested in exploring, whereas every thread about John Lennon, we hear about how he was cold to Cynthia?

Hi all - Beatles fan for 28 years. I've read at least 12 books, two trips to Liverpool, and I recently posted about getting busted by Olivia for stalking the back road to Friar Park.

I have a question or thought that I would love to have answered by the community.

The thing I can't wrap my head around is the creative explosion once they signed with Parlophone. At that point they were a group of excellent musicians (except for Best), had played thousands of hours together, and John and Paul had written a ton of songs that had never seen the light of day. They had played and covered hundreds of songs and probably understood how songs work, melody, chorus, chords, etc.

So they show up, they play a couple of covers, and a few originals (Love Me Do, PS I Love You). Martin wants them to record "How Do You Do It", but they say no, release "Love Me Do", it does good but not great. So the best they had that point was that, which was ok but it's not some amazing song I listen to on repeat.

And then....

Over the next few months they write "Please Please Me", "From Me to You", "She Loves You", and "I Want To Hold Your Hand"

Fucking how?

Where did this genius explosion come from? How did they pull this off?

When did Martin realize that they were more than just a group that would write 1 or 2 "good" songs?

This is the part of the Beatles that I can never comprehend. It isn't as if they had all these songs written and no one would hear them and they were waiting to be discovered. They were needed and they just manifested them.

And then it just got better and better. Like way fucking better.

Any one of these songs would be a crowning achievement for a songwriter, but they wrote hundreds of them.

I also struggle with how it was that Lennon and McCartney were so perfectly different yet complementary for each other. And the humility they frequently showed. Like watch the All You Need Is Love broadcast. They are the biggest thing in the world, and they are singing a John song for the entire planet Earth. Paul just sits there and sings backup and plays his bass. He never tries to be in the spotlight, take lead, etc. And similarly, for Sgt Pepper, fucking John Lennon puts on the goofy Pepper costume and stands there and plays the role, or dances down the stairs in Your Mother Should Know.

It's just unbelievable.

Just looking for other's insights into this.

Hi there

What’s the opinions on Goodnight?

This is a beautiful song with a lush production and quite wonderful Ringo vocal which is fitting for this song to close out the White Album for all its chaos and drama this song makes you feel good about this album especially when Goodnight comes after Rev.9 in the track list.

This lush production is really great and the orchestration by George Martin(also plays celesta here) makes the song feel so beautiful when it’s already sung as a lullaby by Ringo.

You know what I mean.
