Agreed! Any play from Abbey Road deserves the entire second half, at least. Better yet, the entire album.  |

This is a good Lennon song, but I'm still waiting for him to release something new.

Looks like it was a Moog, if we can trust Wiki: The Beatles have also experimented with the use of the Moog synthesizer during the recording of their album, Abbey Road, used prominently in the songs "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Because", "Here Comes the Sun", and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". |

I've read before that it was a Moog. The first (and I suppose the last) time they ever used it was on this album. Maybe the first electronic instrument they EVER used, but that's open to verification. |

I won't ever argue the contributions of the Beatles to the advancement of music, so please don't take the following comment in that sense. It's purely an opinion about this song and a few others.
I don't get it. I just don't. It's not even that I think it's "stoner" music (although it sounds plainly like there were some psychedelics ingested during writing and recording). It's just, I don't know, unremarkable. There's nothing to it. Kind of like "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Just no substance to it. Actually, that's a bad comparison. This song just leaves me saying "Meh." "Hold Your Hand" makes me want to take a power-drill to my temple. Give me "Hey Jude," "I Am the Walrus," "Let It Be," or "Helter Skelter" any time.

Sometimes Bill can just seem to find the right song for the right day. This appears to be a song about the new, which fits me today!
