Rolling Stone The Beatles 100 Greatest Songs

Long, Long, Long
“Long, long, long” seems like a love song—”How l want you/How l love you/You know that I need you”—but the object of Harrison’s affections was God. “I believe in the saying ‘If there’s a God, we must see him:” Harrison said in 1969. He based the song on Bob Dylan’s “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands”—”those three chords and the way they moved.” Though Lennon was blatantly enamored of Dylan early on, Harrison was the true Dylanphile. (“George quoted Bob like people quote Scripture,” Tom Petty told ROLLING STONE.) Soon after the White Album came out, Harrison was in Woodstock, New York, spending Thanksgiving with Dylan and the Band. He and Dylan wrote “I’d Have You Anytime,” which became the first track on All Things Must Pass and the first step toward a lasting friendship.

Yes, It Is
As he was with much of his early work, Lennon was dismissive of “Yes It Is”; he said it was “me trying a rewrite of ‘This Boy,’ but it didn’t work.” But “Yes It Is” features some of the most intricate vocals of any Beatles song; like “This Boy,” it was an attempt to mimic the three-part harmonies of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. It took Lennon, McCartney and Harrison multiple takes to nail the song’s delicate mix of voices.

In the lyrics, Lennon showed the honesty that would mark his songwriting after 1965: His “pride” is the reason he can let go of a lost love. McCartney liked “Yes It Is”: “[It’s] a very fine song of John’s, a ballad, unusual for him,” he said. “I was there writing it with John, but it was his inspiration.” Harrison used an early effects pedal to add gentle sobs of pedal-steel-like guitar, giving it a subtle Nashville spin.

Hello, Goodbye
McCartney never claimed that the irresistibly bouncy “Hello, Goodbye” was his most profound songwriting moment. “It’s just a song of duality, with me advocating the more positive;’ he said. Brian Epstein’s assistant Alistair Taylor remembered McCartney getting the idea while demonstrating how to write a song: “He had a marvelous old hand-carved harmonium. [He told me to] hit any note on the keyboard... and I’ll do the same. Whenever I shout out a word, you shout the opposite, and I’ll make up a tune. ‘Black; he started. ‘White,’ I replied. ‘Yes: No. ‘Hello: ‘Goodbye:” Although the song would be Number One for three weeks in the U.S. and for seven weeks in the U.K., Lennon was not impressed. “[‘I Am the Walrus’] was the B side to ‘Hello, Goodbye,” he said incredulously. “Can you believe it?”
