I will thank the Beatles for writing this song, but I will thank Johnny Cash for singing it better than anyone else.

Johnny Cash version is different but also most excellent-to-outstanding...  

 
Johnny crushes this version (sacrilege!). But the years on his voice give every line much more meaning. He takes it from a pretty good pop ballad to transcendent.

Is that is because you are a context-sensitive grammar cop? {#Think} {#Roflol}

I love the baroque accords that come from the keyboard in this song {#Sunny}

I remember asking my mom about this song...trying to wrap my head around how he could say, "there is no one compares with you," and I was pretty darned sure my English teacher at school wouldn't condone such grammar...but then that same new teacher proceeded to turn and let us be turned on to all kinds of Beatles songs...Life is an exquisite tapestry, a matrix of magnetic magic, a swirl and twirl of energies, and it sure is a lot more fun to DANCE and SWOON to it than not...and RP affirms!

This is one of 3 songs played by live musicians at my wedding over 26 years ago! So needless to say a very special song to me and my wife!

For those who love to slag on Ringo, think of how many late-60's ballads ripped off this drum groove

Our politicians of today would be well-advised to emulate the deep social conscience that John possessed.

Great tune, but it is not on past masters, it is on Rubber Soul. Always was, even on the original American version.

It's amazing to see how many peoples lives were touched by the Fab Five's sound. Being borned in "51" also loaned me this experience. You could hardly wait for the next 45 record to come out and generally a hit on both sides. I'm still a huge fan.

I sang many Beatle tunes to my kids every night when they were babies.

I Will is another fav of mine for this.

Tonic for the soul!

Any song on this album takes me back to my high school days... I drove my dad's classic 1977 Cadillac Seville with an 8 track player in it ... this was one of the only 8 tracks I had... it had lots of play time!

Good times!

Haha, love the vocals and "harpsichord" on one side of the stereo mix and everything else on the other side...

...it was a Beatles experiment!

You are correct. Martin played the passage on the piano at 1/2 tempo and then speeded up the tape to match the tempo of the song. Thus the 'harpsichord' effect.
 
All of these little George Martin insertions make me respect him that much more - He's truly the fifth Beatle!  Take that Donovan!  {#Smile}
