Pulykamell, I guess that’s why they call it “art.” I’m glad you “get” I’ve Got a Feeling the way I do. Perhaps NJTT is one of those Beatle fans who just like songs like Yesterday and Hey Jude (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
I specifically love when John’s in one ear singing "Everybody’s had a hard year . . . " while Paul’s in the other singing "I’ve Got a Feeling . . . " I’m not quite the recording historian that some people on here seem to be, but I can’t think of a song before that where this dynamic is employed.
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Thank you for your evidence-free insight into my aesthetic preferences. I am sure all true Beatles fans agree with you that I’ve Got a Feeling and Dig a Pony constitute their best work.
In 1968/69, everybody did have a hard year. What to do but make a B-side (“Don’t Let Me Down”) that was a copy/tribute/parody of the Band? At the time they were the hippest thing going, so the Beatles did that one, only to be one-upped by the Bee Gees and “Marley Purt Drive”.
Meanwhile Phil Spector was hired to “do something” with an album some (not me) considered unreleasable. Arguably this wasn’t Phil’s finest moment, but he did have one last masterpiece up his sleeve with “All Things Must Pass”.
Does that not answer all the questions you didn’t ask?
