Here Comes the Sun

The Beatles

If you give your undivided attention to the 8 hours of GET BACK, you’ll understand the Beatles dynamic more; their quirks, conflicts, pecking order, collaboration style.

There’s a revealing sequence in part one where George plays I ME MINE for Paul and you sense his humility and insecurity. After all, the Beatles catalog is 95% Lennon and McCartney.

But you can tell Paul digs George’s song and wants to be positive. He questions his grammar. 😆 But you also get the feeling Paul really wants to get his hands on the song and make it better.

The irony is that George wrote some of the very best Beatle songs when it was all said and done. And this one was probably the first Beatles song I absolutely loved as a kid. I remember it made me happy. That beautiful acoustic guitar, the melody and the idea of a brand new day still makes me happy.
