im sure the mathematical terminology is far from correct format but; i hate math, still makes sense it”adds up” lmao

I personally think this song fist in PERFECTLY with the spirit of psychedlic music when
it was recorded. So weird that it seemed to be recorded specifically for the Yellow
Submarine score

Now that our perceptions of ‘normal’ music have moved 40 years past, the song doesn’t
seem to appeal to as large a group – (hah- some of whom may not be as old as the
track is!).

But these sounds have been reverberating inside my head for decades, and I STILL LIKE
THEM!!

Just don’t get me started on 70s wardrobe and disco 😉

But musically it’s amazing; the chord changes are unrivalled and the reverberated organ is beautiful. I’m still trying to work out the drawbar registration for it.

I also think a notable point of this song is, whether intentional or not, George’s strong Liverpool accent, especially on the lines “It doesn’t really matter what clothes I wear/Or how I fare or if my hair is brown”. There’s also a peculiar harmony that appears on just the word “brown”, I’m assuming caused by a double-tracking error.

In my extreme excitement, I made a mistake and put side B first; the sounds of Martin’s symphony orchestra that started pouring out of the speakers completely shocked me. I skipped to the next track — same thing! I continued skipping over track after track, only to realize in my utmost horror that there are no Beatles to be heard!

I was desperate, and so I broke down in tears. My parents got upset and demanded explanation. When I explained my desperation, they laughed and brushed it off, saying that it’s okay.

After I’ve simmered down, I flipped over to the side A, and to my great relief, finally heard the Beatles. OK, Yellow Submarine was the famous song I’ve known all my childhood, but the next song (Only a Northern Song), was such a culture shock for me, that I still remember the extreme confusion this song initially put me in.

I continued listening and re-listening to the four new Beatles songs, until I got sleepy and went to bed.

But the next day, an amazing thing happened: I could not wait for the school classes to be over so that I could go home and listen to Only a Northern Song! That song got stuck in my head, I kept humming it all day long, as I was yearning to hear it again.

To this day, I feel that it’s one of the most magical, unbelievably creative and catchy and witty songs. Even playing it on my guitar, it sounds super special. George was a fantastic songwriter, and this is one of his best songs ever.
