I mentioned in The Beatles’ Dizzy Miss Lizzy post how you could hear similarities with today’s featured track, Good Golly, Miss Molly. It quickly became apparent to me that I hadn’t posted about this timeless early rocker. So here I…

Help! (1965) – The Beatles
I always enjoyed the melody and singing in the verses of The Beatles – “Help!” more than any other part of the song. It contains a sophisticated Lead-Lag-Lead-Synchronous pattern where backing vocals (Paul and George) move between anticipating, following, and…
Dizzy Miss Lizzy (1965) – The Beatles

Day After Day came on my random music player yesterday while I was out and about. I could have sworn it was a Paul McCartney track because of the voice, and I wondered how I hadn’t already included it in…
Free as a Bird (Anthology 1 Version) 1995 – The Beatles
Fellow blogger Nancy at The Elephant’s Trunk posted today’s featured track by the Beatles – Free As A Bird – a reworked version released in 1995 from a home demo John Lennon recorded in 1977. I was so impressed with…
The Ballad of John and Yoko (1969) – The Beatles
The Beatles last No. 1 song in the UK – The Ballad of John and Yoko isn’t typical of their music and that’s what drew me to it. It sounds less polished, more blues and American country than their usual.…
