| I Me Mine Album: Let It Be, 1970 Lead vocalist: George Lyrics ▼ This isn’t George’s most famous song, but I had to include it in my list of forty songs because I absolutely love it. The way the melody switches from a waltz to hard rock is fabulous. The two shouldn’t go together, but they really do. And seamlessly, too. George wrote this song during the ‘Get Back’ sessions when tensions were running high. He, in fact, left the band temporarily at this time because he had had enough of Paul’s criticisms and the way he wouldn’t listen to him. I think George felt overlooked by John and Paul, passed by, in a way. And this song about how, as humans, we are naturally self-centred is kind of a lament of selfishness. In the album version of this song, only Paul and Ringo play on it because John had already left The Beatles by this point. I think it interesting to note how everyone, except for Paul, left the band at some point. I think he just might be the common denominator there. |
