“Two of Us” (Paul & John acoustic, but they’re barely speaking) “Dig a Pony” “Across the Universe” (John’s cosmic poem – the Let It Be version has orchestral overdubs) “I Me Mine” (George, recorded after John quit) “Dig It” (12-minute jam edited to 50 seconds) “Let It Be” (Paul’s mother Mary in a dream) “Maggie Mae” (Liverpool folk song snippet) “I’ve Got a Feeling” (Paul/John mashup) “One After 909” (written 1958, finally recorded) “The Long and Winding Road” (Phil Spector’s strings, which Paul hated) “For You Blue” (George’s 12-bar) “Get Back” (as a single, better) The Beatles made 13 studio albums in less than a decade
“Back in the U.S.S.R.” (Beach Boys + Chuck Berry + Cold War parody) “Dear Prudence” (John’s fingerpicking tribute to Mia Farrow’s sister) “Glass Onion” (John referencing Beatles songs mockingly) “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” (Paul’s regpop – hated by John) “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (George with Eric Clapton uncredited) “Happiness Is a Warm Gun” (John’s multi-part sexual/political/gun metaphor) I must have heard it somewhere
Paul originally dreamed the melody of “Yesterday.” He woke up, played it on piano, and asked friends, “What song is this? I must have heard it somewhere.” 6. Rubber Soul (1965) The game changer. The album where The Beatles stopped being a pop band and became artists. Influenced by Bob Dylan and The Byrds.
