Oh! Darling was one of the pleasant surprises when I went through all the albums and listened to them in prep for this thread. Quite the remarkable song, and the comments here are on point, so I have little to add other than my enjoyment of the track.
I've been in and out for the past few days, so I'll get to songs that were on my list that I've been "atted" about.
"She Said, She Said" and "I'm Only Sleeping" were two new ones in my Beatles top twenty-five from having heard them on the aforementioned listening.
"She Said, She Said" sounds so romantic. I love the distorted and twangy sounds of the guitars and string instruments. It predated psychedelia by about a year and a half, really. I love the tempo change during the repeated segment (Is it a repeated bridge? Is it the chorus? You tell me...) that begins with "When I was a boy..." The abrupt change makes listening challenging, but worth it.
Unfortunately, I looked up what "She Said, She Said" was about and found out it was a bad acid trip exacerbated by Peter Fonda and not a romantic abstraction.
Insert *gas face* here.
Mr. K's comment (and I hope I'm attributing this one correctly) about Peter Fonda and bringing people on acid trips down everywhere with Easy Rider made me laugh. Anyway, I still like the song.
"I'm Only Sleeping" is a song I can completely relate to, much as our thread stalwart k4 can. I love the sounds on this record. The backwards guitars that underly the verse about halfway in sound out of this world, and lovely. That's an amazing tidbit about George and how that came to be. What an accompaniment. Very experimental while keeping within the context of a pop song.
The harmonies are A+ on this track.
