It's really great to hear something else from the Beatles than the usual classics that have been played to death.

Paul wrote Helter Skelter - I believe the Who had released something that some critic had remarked was the loudest song he had every heard, Helter Skelter was Paul's attempt to outdo the Who. It's about a roller coaster.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure John had a hand in Strawberry Fields, Helter Skelter, Girl, Twist & Shout, Across The Universe, and Come Together (amongst a few other unnotables).
The Beatles were simply more than the sum of their parts. Paul and John both seemed to shine when exposed to the other's light. Seperately there were fewer of these magic tunes. |

Heh, when I first heard this song when I was younger I thought, aaahhh yes that's right, Nature! Now I think, "lazy hippy," mostly because mother nature isn't like this song.

Yes, let's think about this.
Paul wrote the sappy vaudeville inspired ballads, although this one is better than most but couldn't hold a candle to something like Dear Prudence. John's songs had all the beauty, power and majesty. Regarding Paul, all he ever did was "Yesterday". His bass playing, on songs like Rain and Lucy was pretty good though.
Sorry you feel like that. Paul's sappiness in his, as you put it, vaudeville inspired ballads was the counterpart to John's intellectualism. Together, they created sheer brilliance. One without the other wouldn't have been as effective, imo. Together, they were magic.
John, to me, after they split up was boring to listen to. Ditto for Paul...Sometimes, one would write a line, the other completing the lyric. Sometimes they co-authored the same song. Paul, to me, displayed a joy and romanticism that was unparalleled in his era. John, to me, always was the "tortured" soul. That goes just so far with me. Yeah, his bass playing was "pretty good." Jesus Christ man, he was considered one of the best bassists of his time.
Maybe it's your age.

I'm struck by the prominence of the acoustic guitar in the right channel and the horns overall. I have the remixed box set but haven't gotten to The Beatles yet. Now I'll have to. It sounds so very different.
BTW, I'm assuming this is from the remixed box set since the sound is so different. And of course the album cover is right but the name is wrong. This is from The Beatles, not Past Masters.

This is on my baby daughter's playlist. When she hears it, she stops crying, playing, cooing to stop and listen. Remarkable. And by the way - I agree with her.
