Title: The Beatles- Because

Description:
One of the best examples of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison's harmonizing, Because.The song begins with electric harpsichord played by George Martin and then joined by Lennon's guitar doubling the harpsichord and played through a Leslie speaker. Vocals and bass guitar enter in what Alan Pollack calls the "mini-bridge."The song was one of the few Beatles songs to include an analog synthesizer arrangement (although analog keyboards such as the Mellotron had been used often by The Beatles, few songs featured the use of a traditional analog synthesizer with voltage-controlled oscillators). The Beatles at the time of Abbey Road were among the first contemporary rock bands to experiment with the Moog synthesizer (the first, or at least the first to chart on the top 40, had been The Monkees).According to Lennon, "Because" was inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". "Yoko was playing Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano ... I said, 'Can you play those chords backwards?', and wrote 'Because' around them. The lyrics speak for themselves ... No imagery, no obscure references."The main recording session for "Because" was on 1 August 1969, with vocal overdubs on 4 August, and a Moog synthesizer overdub by George Harrison on 5 August. As a result, this was the last song on the album to be committed to tape, although there were still overdubs for other incomplete songs.A vocals-only version of the song can be found on Anthology 3 and Love and is an example of three part harmony from Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, although the latter is slowed down and includes quiet nature sound effects. Both versions include the 'Ahh' at the beginning. This song appears in the movie "American Beauty" where it is dramatically placed right after the last words of the film.-From Wikipedia

May 23, 2012 - OH YEAH, good observation skills! Also, I don't mean to be unkind, but when you say "its" as in something belonging to something e.g. a dog, you wouldn't say, "that is it's toy" you'd say, "that is its toy". You only put an apostrophe in it when you mean to say it short for "it is". I know you put an apostrophe when something is belonging to someone but not when something is belonging to "it". This was totally irrelevant but I was just telling you to help you and for your own benefit. :)

May 23, 2012 - Yeah, I'm always getting that wrong.
MasterPeanut94 Says:
May 23, 2012 - I assumed that by "each singing Beatle" you meant each of the Beatles that sing, which would be all of them. Because of this and the previous comment, I assumed you weren't aware Ringo sang, making your username somewhat ironic.
AbbeyRoadkill1 Says:
May 23, 2012 - Ya, I meant that only John, Paul, and George sing on this particular track. Ringo only sings on the songs where he does the lead vocal, may favorite being "With a Little Help From My Friends."
MasterPeanut94 Says:
May 23, 2012 - My favorite Ringo track has to be "Octopuss' Garden". Not only is it an awesome song, but it is also the only song out of those he wrote that isn't lyrically shitty.
MasterPeanut94 Says:
May 23, 2012 - (those he wrote being What Goes On, Don't Pass Me By, and Octopuss' Garden)

May 23, 2012 - I had totally forgotten that Ringo got a co-writing credit on "What Goes On." Thanks for reminding me.
