You keep enjoying it. The one thing I...Sorry Gary!<br /><br />You keep enjoying it. The one thing I didn't want to do when I started this project was either worship every note the Beatles recorded or dismiss everything as old hat. (That's two things..doh!). So I vowed to be totally self opinionated and biased. Who says I'm right? You're welcome to like it.<br /><br />BTW - I like the messianic interpretation. That almost makes me like it better! Perhaps the foreign bit could be speaking in tongues and we just don't have the right interpretation!Matt Blickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532287235128200046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-63413014892686838432011-01-07T14:57:51.544+00:002011-01-07T14:57:51.544+00:00Awww, I like this song!

It's a glimpse of Heaven, where everybody's laughing and everybody's happy. 30 years ago, I even went through some effort to understand the foreign language part of it (and failed). I'm not gonna let you wreck my enjoyment of it!Gary Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706829446650410906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-51303461737774763232011-01-05T16:48:47.923+00:002011-01-05T16:48:47.923+00:00Thanks J

I think it was pretty much one of Lennon's stock picking patterns - similar to the one he used on Dear Prudence and Julia. <br /><br />Thanks for pointing me to the song. I could only stand to listen to about 2 minutes before screaming "dear God make it stop!" <br /><br />I'll include the link so others can suffer along with us!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXf8k_5UwWYMatt Blickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532287235128200046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-33851243375229179422011-01-04T18:59:47.052+00:002011-01-04T18:59:47.052+00:00Never noticed the similarity to "Albatross&qu...Never noticed the similarity to "Albatross" before, but on Yoko's B-side to "Give Peace A Chance", "Remember Love" (which to my best recollection came out a couple months before Abbey Road), John plays the same guitar riff in the break that he does on "Sun King". Which seems to go along with his later recollection that his contributions to the Side 2 medley were basically extra stuff he had lying around that wouldn't have been used otherwise.J Neo Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113077457194694608noreply@blogger.com
