This was the moment when I suddenly abstracted myself totally from the interview, & found myself thinking, "OMG, it's really true, I'm sat here in Abbey Road, sitting opposite Paul McCartney, & hearing him talk about Beatles songs". x.com/TheRestHistory…

"[My housemate] Clem walked in one afternoon with that first Beatles album, Meet the Beatles!. He put it on, and I just didn't know what to think. It absolutely floored me — 'Those are folk music changes, but it's got a rock and roll backbeat. You can't do that, but they did! Holy yikes!' "I ate it for breakfast. Most new musical forms are created that way; the synthesis takes place by two disparate streams of stuff, you know, hitherto unrelated, being mushed together. They did synthesize a new music. ‘Cause rock 'n' roll didn’t have those kinds of chord changes and melody-to-chord relationships prior to the Beatles. It just didn’t. "Up to that point, rock 'n' roll had been pretty much four chords — almost entirely, as a matter of fact. That was the standard thing that came out of the Brill Building. Well, here were these guys from England, they were playing much more complex chord changes — much better musically, but with that backbeat. And there was room to do harmonies. Good ones, interesting ones. That was a mixing of two streams that created a new thing. "I was amazed by the sheer musicality of it, and also the Beatles' ability to project what a confident, joyful and beautiful band they were. I'd never seen anything like them before — or since. "You know, it's always about the music. Those guys could really play and sing. They had the goods. And they really had the songs. Up till then, I was a devotee of Pete Seeger's, bless his soul. I wanted to be a folkie. But seeing the Beatles made something else click. It changed my life. They changed my life. Let's be very specific about that." --#DavidCrosby #TheByrds #CSN #CSNY #Songwriters #FolkRock #HallOfFame #TheBeatles #Influence #GOAT

'See the Lights' was released on this day in 1991. "In some ways I feel that this is one of our best ever songs. It has a great mixture of deep darkness yet ultimately compelling light within its words and melody" - Jim

No thoughts, just the Beatles drinking tea

"'Eleanor Rigby' is a beautiful piece of work. It makes you feel the geographic area is in the song; you can smell it, like grass. It’s like something out of the 19th century. It speaks of a certain set of values that really isn’t even referred to any more. It’s almost as if it were written for a novel like Jane Eyre. It’s evocative and it’s complete; everything is intact. It’s together, lyrically and musically, and the arrangement, production and vocals are all integrated. "I think the Beatles are the best pop songwriters. It’s all original. It comes out of their culture and their experiences. It’s like watching Picasso — over a period of time, you see the work change. It comes out of another state that’s on a higher plane and communicates more completely. "I love their work. They never ceased to amaze me." --#JerryLeiber #LeiberAndStoller #Songwriting #RhythmAndBlues #HallsOfFame #Grammys #Broadway #BrillBuilding #TheBeatles #Evolution #GOAT
