#85 - One After 909 with BC The Beatles 1:17:21

19d ago1:17:21

1:17:21

As a songwriter, I could never imagine at this point in my life, putting out song a wrote at 16 or 17. I don't ever want anyone to hear that. But then again, I'm not the Beatles, who were able to resurrect one of the earliest songs in their repertoire, from well before they were even The Beatles. Though the song was in their early setlists for a lo…

1:03:40

Hello All! Hope you're keeping cool as we breeze thru July 2024! A topic tackled 'Once Upon A Long Ago' in the pre-Andy era but this week we revisit the topic of songs Macca composed specifically for Films throughout his career. Beginning in 1967 with The Family Way, we examine the songs written, the films for them, and in some cases why the Direct…

#86 - Baby's In Black with Andy Nicholes (co-host 2Legs Podcast) 1:16:06

1M ago1:16:06

1:16:06

Though the Lennon & McCartney songwriting team found it harder and harder to truly write songs together from scratch as they got busier and busier, with "Baby's In Black," they were able to get "nose-to-nose" and write something truly different from what was expected at the time. A 3/4 time waltz with a melancholy lyric (possibly inspired by Astrid…

#87 - You Never Give Me Your Money with Tom Hunyady (co-host, 2Legs and Talk More Talk podcasts) 1:29:29

2M ago1:29:29

1:29:29

In many ways, Paul McCartney is the ultimate storyteller. He's got an unparalleled ability to craft characters and a situations that are so vivid, you can't easily tell when he's hiding his own feelings and life stories in them. So when we writes a song where he's totally upfront about a situation, no story, no characters, you can bet it's somethin…

#88 - No Reply with guest Jeff Slate (musician, journalist) 1:25:58

2M ago1:25:58

1:25:58

The journey of "No Reply" is a curious one. A song John seemed to not think much of, and originally offered to another Brian Epstein-managed artist, it also was possibly slated to be the final song recorded for A Hard Day's Night. If not for Ringo's tonsillitis, who knows what would've happened with it. After spending some time with it though, and …

#89 - Lady Madonna with Davis Rogan (pianist, host DJ Davis' Tasting Notes)) 1:10:41

2M ago1:10:41

1:10:41

After spending a year and half out firmly planted in psychedelia, The Beatles returned to Earth at the beginning of 1968 with "Lady Madonna," a Paul-penned tune that pays tribute to the strength of women, a topic he mines throughout his career. The song also serves an homage to New Orleans' piano legend and rock and roll trail blazer Fats Domino, a…

#90 - The Inner Light with Caitlin Larkin (DJ, Sirius XM The Beatles Channel) 1:19:16

3M ago1:19:16

1:19:16

There seems to be somewhat of a misconception of The Beatles having a really big "Indian period." In reality, there's only 3 songs that really fit that bill, and the 3rd a final one, "The Inner Light," may be the most open hearted and enlightened one. After being inspired/challenged by a scholar he met on the David Frost show, George took lyrics fr…

#91 - Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey with guest Brian Marchese (host, Where's That Sound Coming From?) 1:47:57

3M ago1:47:57

1:47:57

The longest titled song in the Beatles' catalogue is also one that maybe flies a bit below the radar. Buried on side 3 of the White album, "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey" is one of the heaviest rockers in the back half of their career. Inspired by the Maharishi, and also possibly by a growing drug issue, John leads the b…

1:13:53

Imagine the feeling you'd get when the band that was the inspiration for YOUR band put out a song and told everyone YOUR band inspired that song? Probably a pretty amazing feeling. That's exactly what happened when The Beatles released the George Harrison-penned "If I Needed Someone" on Rubber Soul in December 1965. George was quick to give credit …

Much has been discussed of Paul McCartney's love of what John Lennon called "granny music." The music of his parents' generation, British Music Hall, Vaudeville, Tin Pan Alley...you know the genre...the stuff Lennon loved to complain about when it came from Paul, but seemingly had no problem with his favorite group, Nilsson, whos stock and trade wa…
