Usually McCartney gets the whole credit of a song he didn´t compose alone. When he started to compose the song, he got stuck and went to Lennon and asked, “where do I go from here?” Then Lennon pupped up with “I love you I love you, thats all i want to know…” and so on.
McCartney always said that he wrote the song, until he is reminded that Lennon did the middle part. Without that, the song had became without structure and tension.?

Wow, I was just listening to A Taste of Honey and didn’t even realize how similar the two openings sound. Had to see if anybody else heard the same thing!

just me but does the opening guitar riff sound a bit like ‘A Taste of Honey’ by Paul Desmond?

Here you go… from “Many years from Now”:

Paul: “The ‘I love you, I love you, I love you’ wasn’t in the original. The original was just the chorus. That sounds like Nina Simone, I can see that. I’ll give him ten points for that.”

Well, funny you say that – he said from the future – I was playing a session years back and I heard from a musician close to Wings explain that it was a Denny Lane song, and he offered it to Paul in return to pay off some stonking tax bill. I also heard that Lane wasn’t at all happy when it went big.

No proof, just a conversation with another muso,

Since you are a fanatic, it seems likely that you remember the sources. Please share. They would go a long way towards dispelling some of the “what’s yours is mine” rhetoric.

I’m a fanatic about reading interviews where one of the Beatles reflects upon “who wrote what.” And there are definitely articles out there in which Paul mentions John’s “I love you, I love you, I love you” contribution.

Why I believe the Beatles are legends:

John Lennon- a flawed and troubled soul, witty, politically outspoken and a warm heart and soul.

Paul McCartney- business-like, hard working, one of the most impressive and unique bass players.

George Harrison- a fine technician on guitar that even impressed the likes of Eric Clapton et al, witty, down to earth but spiritual.

Ringo Starr-despite anyone’s comments regarding his drumming, was actually another fine technician on his instrument (tomorrow never knows is proof of this)! Witty and very affable.

The Beatles will forever be seen as the classical music of the 20th century.

The Beatles will always be the definitive band of all time.
The fact that we are still discussing their musical diversity is testament to this.
Will ‘Take Thatt’ or today’s over-hyped, talent free bands who copy them today be remembered by true music fans?
I don’t think so!!
Every band who came after the Beatles are just pretenders to the throne.

I always thought it was a bass solo, particular since it was such a Paul song and he was the best musician in the band. Are we sure it’s guitar in like a “cool-jazz” kind of sound, muted treble to get that smooth sound?

The tonal tension you get when you use minor thirds in a major key song is one of the most common expressions of the blues. It doesn’t work the other way around though; using a major third in a minor key song just sounds dissonant and “wrong”.

I agree they worked out ideas with each other more than they would admit in later years.

Look-up ‘Step Inside Love’ – the song Paul wrote for Cilla Black’s tv show theme. It’s a bossa nova which he challenged himself to write and the chords are special.

Among the Beatles’ most unique strengths as artists was their musical diversity. This beautiful song, from the same guys who wrote Helter Skelter, or Tomorrow Never Knows versus Here, There and Everywhere. Incredible artistry -and respect for music.
