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

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.

They had a special "guest" drummer play that part.

Dunno about "ahead of its time" (jazz drummers had done such before, I think) but it catches my ear every time.

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.

Agreed. As much as I love Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul and Revolver, The White Album has always been my fave. So many great, wild, diverse songs that a single album just couldn't contain 'em. (and us old folks remember the cool poster and mug shots that came with the vinyl)

The White Album was 40 this year. I didn't celebrate this by playing it, because I play it all the time anyway and have for 30 years - and strum most of it on my guitar. It's an ever flowing stream of musical ideas and it never runs dry. It's actually odd to hear a song lifted from it - I just take it as a whole, with all it's diversity and beauty.

good on ya paul for appearing on letterman last night and reminding us and/or enlightening us to the real nature of jacko, who so nastily stabbed you and your mates in the back when it came to the ownership, copyrights and payment of royalties on your incredible catalogue of music. Maybe the "king of pop" produced some good music, dance moves and videos in his day, but when it came time to being loyal to his friends and having any kind of integrity whatsoever, his greed took over and it was all about the $$$. To quote Sir Paul, in one their last conversations, "its' just business, Paul." guess the karmic snake bites deeply after all. {#Whisper}
