Jim Chalker is not :) One of my faves too | Reviewer: Ralph | 2/7/07 First off this song is from the Beatles greatest album ever--Rubber Soul. I'm very much in disagreement from the previous review. Although this is not the greatest song from this album it is a GREAT SONG ! Sad song ? Perhaps. Depends on your mood I guess. Sad in a way, but also a very honest declaration. Honesty may be sad to some but, in the end it is an affirmation of what is true and must be said and therefore is a celebration of life. Sure it's a simple ditty as Lennon would have described it. But, it's a deeply soul searching masterpiece, lyrically speaking. As for the music, it's upbeat, toe-tapping quality makes it stand out from the first time you ever hear the album until each and every time you ever listen to it again. Enough said ! By the way the greatest song from this album was "In My Life." Simply my favorite Beatles song | Reviewer: Jim Chalker | 6/9/06 I admit the Beatles wrote better songs than this. I always find myself using the word “little” when I think about this song. I’m not sure what that means, it just feels right. This song just doesn’t feel “big.” It’s not an earth mover of a song. Still for some reason no other Beatles song touches me the way this one does, either musically or lyrically. On those rare occasions that I hear it on the radio it immediately sweeps me up and I find myself mesmerized by its quirky tune and sad lyrics. I have written a few songs myself and I have to admit that my tunes are pretty predictable. But I love it when a tune can do something unexpected and still remain melodic. This one does. And if that weren’t enough, the way the John and Paul constructed the harmony is the Beatles at their best. I do have one or two complaints about the song though. First, in the chorus, the line “Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight” simply doesn’t fit the rhythm. It should have read, “Love has a nasty way of disappearing overnight.” Second, the little guitar thing (I’m so ignorant of musician jargon, is that called a riff?) at the end of each verse… well if I were arranging the song today I would try to rework that. OK there it is. Even with its minor flaws this song enchants me. The Rubber Soul album has some silly tunes on it and I wouldn’t recommend buying it except to have this one gem in my collection. It is simply my favorite Beatles song ever! Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2
