The Beatles- Paperback Writer

Comments

This was recorded during the “Revolver” sessions. The evolution really started in late 1965 with “Rubber Soul”.

Next month it will air on Disney Plus with previously unseen footage.

Paul switched from his Hofner bass (the one that looked like a violin) to a Rickenbacker in 1965. Inspired by Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, Paul’s basslines started to become more melodic. We definitely can hear it on this song and its flip side, “Rain”. Reportedly, Boyce and Hart were listening to the end of this song in the car in 1966 and thought they heard The Beatles singing “last train to” somewhere. It inspired them to write “Last Train To Clarksville” for The Monkees. If you really want to listen to the best mix of this song, go check out the mono mix.

He doesn't want to write for the paper. He wants to write paperback books.

If you want another film you could always check out their animated movie "Yellow Submarine". Very visually trippy/psychedelic but the music is obviously top tier!

The best Beatles documentary you can watch to truly immerse yourself in their story in detail is The Beatles Anthology. There's no other.

It is generally thought that this song was the beginning of a transition for The Beatles into their more sophisticated later work.

It's so fun grooving to this song along with you! You should check out nearby venues to see if any Beatles tribute bands are performing. I've been to several Beatles tribute shows, and it's always a really nice feeling to dance with a group of fans! That said, the audiences tend to skew a bit older than you! I've recommended it before, but one of my favorite Beatles-themed films is Two of Us (2000) which depicts a day in the life of John and Paul in the 70s after the band has broken up. It's funny, lighthearted, bittersweet, and a great depiction of the way friendships change over time.
