Day 12: "Eleanor Rigby" (1966)

None of the guys played instruments on this mostly-McCartney-penned tune. It's said that the string arrangement was somewhat inspired by the score of the film "Psycho". 😳😁

Day 11: "Revolution" (1968)

The ultimate protest tune, this was the band's 2nd overtly political song after "Taxman". I love the distorted amplification of the guitars & the guys' falsettos & harmonies.

Day 10: "Here Comes The Sun" (1969)

As someone w/ SAD, I tend to play this only in spring; it's more meaningful when the hope-filled rebirth of nature is on the horizon. It's 1 of my top 3 Beatles songs. ☀️

John insisted this psychedelic song's title referred to a drawing his young son did, & not to LSD. I love the effect produced by double tracking John's vocals.
