Day 14: "When I'm Sixty Four" (1967)

Paul wrote this when he was 14! It's remarkable to think that a teen could pen a sweet tune about aging & lifelong love. I adore the innovative use of clarinets here.

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.
