Ten Interesting Facts About The Beatles I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Рет қаралды 200,748
Күн бұрынThe Beatles’ I Want You ( She’s So Heavy) on The Abbey Road album is as arresting as it is ensnared in obsessive, intoxicating, and absorbing sensuous tension. With the exception of John Lennon’s musique concrete sound collage that is Revolution 9, I want you is not only the longest song in the entirety of the beatles catalogue, coming in at just under 8 minutes, but exhibits the very loudest single moment on Abbey Road. Lyrics resonating like a mantra from John Lennon, Paul Mccartney's fluttering bass, George and John's wall of electric guitar, And Ringo and Billy Preston's essential groovy cadence, all culminating into a three minute finale that succumbs to the oblivion of white noise and then cuts off abruptly. This is perhaps one of the most experimental approaches to blues we’ve ever seen from the lads from Liverpool or anyone else and today we’re going to show you ten interesting facts about The Beatle’s I want you (She’s so heavy).

Paul and John were the perfect ying and yang. When John would get too experimental and abstract, Paul would be there with the pop sensibility. When Paul would get melodious and dainty, John would get gritty and dark. When John would write something about love and beauty, Paul would scream about Helter Skelter. Such a great duo.

When I heard this song for the first time, it was the coolest thing that I ever heard with that bluesy, jazzy and very sexy melodic lines that had a touch of romanticism. John was in his element employing a radical and experimental approach to his songwriting with change in the timing that sandwiched parts of his songs with something new unheard before in popular music. His employment of the Epiphone guitar with those P-90 pickups with sounds that just melt like butter as he performed his guitar solo. It was erotica in its execution. John is a pure master of musical and lyrical expression that defies the standards in popular music. He was the one that steered the Beatles to greatness. He may have been the "Nowhere Man" who needed "Help", but he sure convinced nearly everyone that "All You Need is Love".

What I always loved about I Want You is that it goes on and one, noise piled onto noise, seemingly endlessly, and then there's the abrupt cut. And the the next song - Here Comes The Sun - washes all that tension away with just the first few notes. It's a brand new day!

For the first time in forever, I listened to this song earlier today. I got a sudden urge and listened to it on repeat. And now this. I wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something. I think the ending is the invention of doom metal. The whole mood of it all screams doom. The repeating haunting melody, the wall of darkly distorted guitar, the increasingly loud white noise etc. It’s incredible that such a thing came out of 1969. Such an experimental twist of the blues genre.

Seriously though, this song is unimaginably good its debatable if it's even in the Beatles top 10. That's how good they were.

Revolution #9 was released, ironically, when I was nine years old. Naturally, it confused the hell out of me, because it is clearly not a song for a nine year-old mind. Years later, while I was in my "experimental phase" (yes, kiddies, I'm referring to drugs here) I listened to Revolution #9 a LOT. I remember trying to isolate and decipher each and every little bit of the song, attempting to truly understand "the deeper meaning" of it all. Strangely, the one little bit that seemed to me to be the most profound is the part that says, "Every one of us knew that as time went on we'd get a little bit older and a little bit slower." Well, now, I am, indeed, a little bit older, and I am, in fact, a little bit slower, as well. (Okay... more than a "little bit" of both!) But to this day, it seems to me that all those years ago, The Beatles were trying to warn me that this was gonna happen! Damn! I should have paid their warning more heed! I could have prevented both of these results simply by dying sooner! Oops! My bad! Sorry, lads! Sorry, John-o! I promise I'll never do it again! Honest!

He said ‘the boys’ were so angry with each other that it comes through in the recording and was difficult for him to listen to. He also said that he felt The Beatles had reached a dead-end at this point. As stated, the final work on this song was the last time they were together in the studio.

@@paulspears715 Perhaps John was pissed off about that. And why not? He was perpetually pissed off about something or someone! I always wondered, "Dude, seriously, wtf have you got to be so pissed off about? You're rich as hell, more famous than Jesus Christ (according to John), and you never worked a day in your life!" What a smug, egocentric ass munch! Sure, he either wrote or co-wrote some truly amazing music and lyrics, and there's no denying that. But to lionize the man or to attempt to elevate him to sainthood is really, REALLY stretching it! And so what if Lennon got his pompous little panties in a wad because McCartney spent a little extra time getting one of his songs the way he wanted it? It took The Beatles eight freakin' *months* to finish "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" because *John* kept changing his mind about this or that part, how the song should end, etc.!!! So, when I read or hear everybody just gushing about Lennon's "genius of simplicity," I feel compelled to ask, "What is 'simple' about taking *8 months* to write *one* song?" Doesn't seem very "simple" to me!

@James Brice yes John rules the White Album but “Blackbird” and “Helter Skelter” belong there too. And don’t forget George with arguably the best song on the album (again) with “While my Guitar Gently Weeps”. “Long long long” another great one by George there. That said, “Happiness is a Warm Gun”, “Dear Prudence”, “Julia”, “Sexy Sadie”, “Yer Blues” and “Revolution” are all masterpieces by John from that album. Even the transition from “Revolution 9” to “Good Night” is a brilliant way to close the White album

Well done, man. Really appreciate the professional attitude of this lecture. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Besides: "Art is an expression of oneself and is subject of the will of the artist. You experience art. You either enjoy it or you don't. But to dismiss it because it doesn't live up to your arbitrarily defined quota of words is asinine, considered a song is composed holistically" was a very interesting line for someone like me, because English is not my native language.

Wow. Artistic rendering of a deep think piece -- or a deep think piece of an artistic rendering. With, a perfect finale -- an abrupt mirror of the song itself. Well done.

I remember being a little sad when I finally got the white album on vinyl, because one of my favorite segues of all time (on the CD of course) is when "i want you" suddenly cuts of, and it goes right into "here comes the sun"... such a dramatic and grating change that's also magical... It thrills me to no end! With the record, I discovered, that's where you flip the disc. Which makes sense actually... that madness would be the last song on that side. And to be fair, it's its own experience that's different. It's nice to take a pause after that crazy song.. get up... flip the disc. Here comes the sun. But the transition on the CD is so ridiculous and cool.

@@mrsbluesky8415 ya, weird brain fart mistake. I know both of those albums back to back. And my two favorite albums. Yes, on the CD of Abbey Road, VS the Vinyl of Abbey Road.

The noise after John's scream is "What was that about ?" presumably in response to the scream. Listen closely and you'll hear this.

Oh love it. They weren’t little boys anymore. I love the fact that we watched them grow from songs like Love Me Do to I Want You (She’s so Heavy) and Savoy Truffle.
