Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End

The Beatles

Getting misty eyed with this one. Even though LET IT BE was their last record released, these ABBEY ROAD recordings are the final Beatles collaborations. And this medley is their mesmerizing finale on side two. They knew it was the end of their run and that they would carry that weight for a long time.

Once there was a way to get back home…

It’s interesting that it’s Paul’s vocals carrying us out of their legacy. I wonder if they would’ve even finished this record without him? After watching GET BACK, I have my doubts.

Love you, love you, love you, love you…

They are talking to each other and they are saying goodbye. Probably to us as well, but it’s mostly personal I believe.

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make

The greatest final bow in music history from our greatest band.
