Producer: George Martin
Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Phil McDonald

Released: 26 September 1969 (UK), 1 October 1969 (US)

Available on:

Anthology 3
Love

The final song to be recorded for Abbey Road was John Lennon's Because. The song was inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and featured The Beatles' distinctive three-part vocal harmonies.

Yoko Ono was a classically trained pianist whose interests had moved towards the avant garde. One day in 1969, however, she played Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 - the Moonlight Sonata.

Lying on their sofa listening, John Lennon asked her to play the chords backwards, and wrote Because around the result. While not an exact reversal of Beethoven's piece, it contains a number of musical similarities.
Yoko was playing Moonlight Sonata on the piano. She was classically trained. I said, 'Can you play those chords backward?' and wrote Because around them. The lyrics speak for themselves; they're clear. No bullshit. No imagery, no obscure references.
John Lennon
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
The vocal harmonies are one of the most distinctive aspects of the much-admired Because. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison sang together, and overdubbed their voices twice more, giving the effect of nine voices.

John wrote this tune. The backing is a bit like Beethoven. And three-part harmony right throughout. Paul usually writes the sweeter tunes, and John writes the, sort of, more the rave-up things, or the freakier things. But John's getting to where he doesn't want to. He just wants to write twelve-bars. But you can't deny it, I think this is possibly my favourite one on the album. The lyrics are so simple. The harmony was pretty difficult to sing. We had to really learn it. But I think that's one of the tunes that will impress most people. It's really good.
George Harrison, 1969
The vocal harmonies, isolated from their instrumental backing, can be heard on both Anthology 3 and Love. The Love album, however, features the sound of birds twittering in the background.

I wouldn't mind betting Yoko was in on the writing of that, it's rather her kind of writing: wind, sky and earth are recurring, it's straight out of Grapefruit and John was heavily influenced by her at the time.
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
The instrumentation on Because was simple, with arpeggio accompaniment on harpsichord, guitar and Moog. Paul McCartney later bought the electric harpsichord, played here by George Martin, when EMI were reducing their instrument collection; it remains in his recording studio.

In the studio

On Friday 1 August 1969 Lennon, McCartney and Martin taped 23 takes of the basic track, with Lennon on electric guitar and McCartney on bass. Ringo Starr added a basic hi-hat rhythm, but this was for guide purposes only and wasn't recorded.

Take 16 was the best of the 23 attempts. With the backing track in place, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison recorded the first of their harmony vocal tracks. Two more were added on 4 August.

A final overdub was recorded on 5 August, when George Harrison taped a Moog part - the first time the synthesiser was used on the Abbey Road recordings. Harrison recorded it twice, filling up the last two available tracks on the tape.

Ah, because the world is round
it turns me on
Because the world is round
Ah, because the wind is high
it blows my mind
Because the wind is high
Ah, love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue
it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Just Because:

Forged by tears from eye's
that never under-emphasized
You cast aside
a love that's heated in the shade

You say you need your latitude
and left me alone
before I found the words to say
and when you needed solitude
I found that you 
you left my side
and turned around to say

who needs who?
who needs who tonight?

long live your pride
your ego never steps aside
deep in the night
your new romance begins to bite

you call me up to say your down
you wanted to come home
to set my world aflame
i tell you about the girl i found
she’s sticking by my side
so now i’ll be the one to say

who needs who?
who needs who tonight?

Tell me where where do I begin
To lead us to a better place
To lead us to a better place

Well you know me you know I wont give in
I'll get back on my feet again
I'll get back on my feet again

Well you can cry all your tears away
Or you can stand up and fight
For what you think is right
Well you can hide all your fears away
Or you can face them square head on
And realise you're strong

How will I know if I am right or wrong
I just need some light to show the way
I just need some light to show the way

In my heart I know where I belong
This world will never get me down
This world will never get me down

Repeat Chorus

Well I look out for those I hold so dear
And time is never on your side
And time is never on your side

The answers I seek are never always clear
And love is all you'll ever need
Love is all you'll ever need

Repeat Chorus

Time can wear you down
Life can burn you out
Hate can eat you up
Mistrust can cause you doubt

But love will heal your soul
And love will mend your heart
And love will help you see
When its time to make a brand new start

Repeat and Rinse

This song is basically about relationships where two people love each other unconditionally.
Take the good with the bad and support each other no matter what.
That to me is what love is meant to be. 

When You Love Someone

I love you
You love me
That's the way its meant to be

Good or bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

Good or Bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Up or down
Smile or frown
That's the way its meant to be

Without your love my soul would die
Without your love then who am I

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

First or last
Future or past
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good.

Treasured Wounds
There's a neon sign blinkin
On the wrong side a town
It's an old lighthouse beacon
For lost soul's run aground
And they look at their live's
Like a vein that's been opened
And ya can't tell for sure
If their laughing or choakin

Some sit in silence
and stare off in space
And some holdin court
Tend to get in your face
But they all see themselves
Like a coin that's been tossed
And hope that their worth what they've lost

So turn back the clock
To back when it stopped
And we'll sing all our old favorite tunes
And resurrect kneel bow and gene-flecked
Before our most treasured of wounds

Now memories and shadows
grow long with the day
and come back to life
when night has it's way
And we're all old soldier's
we won the war
only to fall on our swords

Before our most treasured wounds
Before our most treasured wounds
And it takes one to know one down here

You see a smile

If I could rewind
moments of my life
and turn them new.
Would they include
the dream I have of you?


You had to have known

I should have turned around

In the evening
when the sun goes down.
I pull you close to me
and I’m so proud.
That your the Girl
I know that can’t be found by
Lucky Little Boy’s like me.

I can’t be fooled by you,
but I believe in me and you.
Somehow and Forever
I Do, I Do

In the evening
When the sun goes down.
I pull you close to me
and I’m so proud
That your the girl
I know that can’t be found by
Lucky Little Boy’s like me.

And when the children are asleep
We will reflect upon this night together.
All the roads we drove.
All the blessings showed.
All these things and more
opened up the door
For a Lucky Little Boy

So why should we rush things

So why should we rush things
We have the rest of our lives

And then looking inside of our little window
And with his leather clad hand signaling for us to

Background on the original Beatles session :
Written by: Lennon-McCartney
Recorded: 28-30 August 1968
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Barry Sheffield

Released: 22 November 1968 (UK), 25 November 1968 (US)

The Beatles (White Album)

Written by John Lennon in India, Dear Prudence was about Mia Farrow's younger sister, who refused to leave her chalet at the meditation retreat in Rishikesh, and had to be coaxed out by Lennon and George Harrison.

 
Prudence Farrow had become infatuated with meditation, locking herself away from the rest of the group and falling into deep states against the advice of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Dear Prudence is me. Written in India. A song about Mia Farrow's sister, who seemed to go slightly barmy, meditating too long, and couldn't come out of the little hut that we were livin' in. They selected me and George to try and bring her out because she would trust us. If she'd been in the West, they would have put her away.
We got her out of the house. She'd been locked in for three weeks and wouldn't come out, trying to reach God quicker than anybody else. That was the competition in Maharishi's camp: who was going to get cosmic first. What I didn't know was I was already cosmic. [Laughs.]
John Lennon
All We Are Saying, David Sheff
Prudence later confirmed she was more fanatical in her pursuit of enlightenment than those around her.

Being on that course was more important to me than anything in the world. I was very focused on getting in as much meditation as possible, so that I could gain enough experience to teach it myself. I knew that i must have stuck out because I would always rush straight back to my room after lectures and meals so that I could meditate. John, George and Paul would all want to sit around jamming and having a good time and I'd be flying into my room. They were all serious about what they were doing but they just weren't as fanatical as me...
At the end of the course, just as they were leaving, George mentioned that they had written a song about me but I didn't hear it until it came out on the album. I was flattered. It was a beautiful thing to have done.

We could be star crossed

When I introduced myself.
You began to blush
And together we smiled.
And you were looking at me 
I couldn't stop thinking of you 
Those hours went on and on forever that night.

We suffered through with an awkward pause.
The front desk held almost all of our calls.
cause…

There was something new
there was something new
There was something different between me and you.

If you want a story
I’m happy to tell you
It’s about a man who crawled out of Hell

We could be Star Crossed
We could be fooled

Nobody's rules
We could be star crossed
We could be fools

So if you'd let me walk you home at night from school. that be cool
I'd be cool with that Yea
I'd be cool with that  ah Ha.

And every day you wait for me
at the path in the park on the bench that we first met
I'd be cool with that 
I'd be cool with that
I'd be cool with that
For the rest of my life.

She knows I miss her dearly
When she's gone
I even miss her

I asked Nata If I could do some background vocals over it and I tried to learn her native tongue to work on the verse as well. This is me learning phonetically by the seat of my pants. This is what came of it.

Here is the link to Mia's original track  https://soundcloud.com/miper/relax

Notes from Mia on her page for Relax
This song I wrote in India during a TTC(Yoga teacher training). I wrote it for my first ever lesson I was going to have. I was SOOO nervous, and I refused to have more than 4 "students". 
I remember some of my fellow students got very dissapointed (Im still sorry, but I was just too nervous;)
So anyways this song was for the last part of the lesson, where it was time for some "Savasana" Relax time.. also called "Corpse pose" haha. 
And now I felt for producing it. 
I hope you like it <3

I heard the original track with vocal by Torbjørn Vagle which blew me away with its authentic and visceral reality and heart. 
https://soundcloud.com/tobbenv/the-fool-on-the-hill-paul-mc-cartney-cover
I asked him if I could swing over top of his piano track four months ago and I've gone through a complete circle of approaches in that time. 
This was just the last one and I thought I should post something.
Mr. Vagle's version still tops the list.....

Just to clarify this is a cover of the Lennon McCartney song fool on the hill

Fool On The Hill    (Torbjørn Vagle/Bruce Conover)

Little Kiku you made me smile this morning
while we had coffee out 
the rain began to fall on our menu as we planned our famous day … 
and then you reach to me 
and that look in your eye could stop every single bird in this sky or at least they would try to slow down 
those little birds could slow down

are you not sleeping well
are you eating all right
do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
i love you Kiku

Are you not sleeping well
Are you eating all right
Do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
I love you Kiku
I love you Kiku

Little Kiku you know I have no way of finding you in this big dark city 
This big dark city tonight
come home
just come home to me

we can go out for coffee
we can stand in the rain
just let me explain
just let me explain

and then you reach for my hand
and I see that look in your eye
you could stop birds in the sky 
or at least get them to slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down 
slow down
It's 10 o'clock......

Recorded: 1, 4, 5 August 1969

The final song to be recorded for Abbey Road was John Lennon's Because. The song was inspired by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and featured The Beatles' distinctive three-part vocal harmonies.

Yoko Ono was a classically trained pianist whose interests had moved towards the avant garde. One day in 1969, however, she played Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 - the Moonlight Sonata.


Lying on their sofa listening, John Lennon asked her to play the chords backwards, and wrote Because around the result. While not an exact reversal of Beethoven's piece, it contains a number of musical similarities.
The lyrics speak for themselves; they're clear. No bullshit. No imagery, no obscure references.

All We Are Saying, David Sheff
The vocal harmonies are one of the most distinctive aspects of the much-admired Because. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison sang together, and overdubbed their voices twice more, giving the effect of nine voices.

John wrote this tune. The backing is a bit like Beethoven. And three-part harmony right throughout. Paul usually writes the sweeter tunes, and John writes the, sort of, more the rave-up things, or the freakier things. But John's getting to where he doesn't want to. He just wants to write twelve-bars. But you can't deny it, I think this is possibly my favourite one on the album. The lyrics are so simple. The harmony was pretty difficult to sing. We had to really learn it. But I think that's one of the tunes that will impress most people. It's really good.
George Harrison, 1969
The vocal harmonies, isolated from their instrumental backing, can be heard on both Anthology 3 and Love. The Love album, however, features the sound of birds twittering in the background.

I wouldn't mind betting Yoko was in on the writing of that, it's rather her kind of writing: wind, sky and earth are recurring, it's straight out of Grapefruit and John was heavily influenced by her at the time.
Paul McCartney
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
The instrumentation on Because was simple, with arpeggio accompaniment on harpsichord, guitar and Moog. Paul McCartney later bought the electric harpsichord, played here by George Martin, when EMI were reducing their instrument collection; it remains in his recording studio.

In the studio

On Friday 1 August 1969 Lennon, McCartney and Martin taped 23 takes of the basic track, with Lennon on electric guitar and McCartney on bass. Ringo Starr added a basic hi-hat rhythm, but this was for guide purposes only and wasn't recorded.

Take 16 was the best of the 23 attempts. With the backing track in place, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison recorded the first of their harmony vocal tracks. Two more were added on 4 August.

A final overdub was recorded on 5 August, when George Harrison taped a Moog part - the first time the synthesiser was used on the Abbey Road recordings. Harrison recorded it twice, filling up the last two available tracks on the tape.


Ah, because the world is round
it turns me on
Because the world is round
Ah, because the wind is high
it blows my mind
Because the wind is high
Ah, love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue
it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Ah, ah, ah, ah

I know that your heart has been broken
I know you would rather say no
But I am willing to take every risk in the world
Only to let you know
That if you just let me love you
If you just believe what I say
That I will carry your heart so gently
I won't drop it I won't give it away

Sing Heidi Heidi Heidi Ho
Sing Heidi Heidi Heidi Ho
I'll hold it so tight every day every night
And I will never let it go

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion\\

It was just a little part
With all these little pieces
There were miles of excuses and indeed they had their reasons
For what?
Let’s talk about why:

Now I knocked on many doors
And I made all of the 'phone calls
I turned off all my lights and left my purpose on the floors
For what?
Let’s talk about why:

Life is precious but it's stolen from an old man on the way
That's what I say….
It's what I feel

That's what I feel....

64 is getting old now…
I know
I feel it...
64 is getting old now…
I know
I feel it... just a little bit

65 is down the road for a young man and his dreams
In his pack
And he's never looking back….
No way...

No way...
There always a path home...

She's the One
She's got a way about her
I cant shout it any louder
She touch my soul she on my mind
She won't let me be

She moves me when I need
She kick me down she make me bleed
All the time I felt the fear 
Until she set me free

She's like the sun on my skin 
I love the warmness within 
She's like the wind on my face
She's my perfect time and place ...shes the one

She knows me inside out
She reads my mind have no doubt 
Her intuition is hard to beat
She's put her spell on me

She takes me high she takes me low
She pulse in she lets me go 
When I was lost when I was blind
She came she made me see

Love Me Like Before

I am gonna make you see
Baby I am your man 
I aint gonna let you be
Till you understand
Girl your treating me so bad
Girl your making me so sad
Every night that your away from me

What ever I gotta do 
I am gonna make you see
Girl now you know fine well 
You belong to me
I cant help but think of you 
And the little things you do 
Every night that your away from me

You gotta love me like before
You gotta want me more and more
You gotta hold me tight don't ever let me go

LEAD .............

I cant help but think of you 
And the little things you do 
Every night that your away from me

You gotta love me like before
You gotta want me more and more
You gotta hold me tight don't ever let me go

I didn't mean to make you cry 
Oh you know its true
But when you act that way 
You know it makes me blue
You know I love you oh so dear 
And I wanna make it clear 
Every night that your away from me

Now I cant get to sleep 
Since you went away 
Baby won't you come on home
I am begging you to stay 
Since you've gone its not the same
Wont you stop this silly game
Every night that your away from me

You gotta love me like before
You gotta want me more and more
You gotta hold me tight don't ever let me go .......... x2. END.

Love will find me 
One of these days
When its time she
Moves in many ways

Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling
Emotionally I cant see
Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling 
When will she come for me

I sit lonely 
No one to ease my pain 
I want her only 
My love she has no name

Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling 
Emotionally I cant see
Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling
When will she come for me

My arms are open 
My long for loves embrace
I keep on hoping 
One day I'll see the face

Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling
Emotionally I cant see
Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling
When will she come for me

Love won't you come for me 
Take me in your arms don't let me go 
Love won't you come for me 
Take me in your arms don't let me go

Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling
Emotionally I cant see
Emotionally I find I've lost all feeling
When will she come for me .

When Will She Come For Me  (Patersongs/conover)

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
