The Beatles’ classic and popular songs (91–100)
Nowhere ManThe Beatles
This poetic song by John reflects the feelings of a lonely man, featuring beautiful multi-tracked vocal harmonies by John and a memorable guitar solo by George.
George played a Fender Stratocaster for this performance.
It was also performed at the Nippon Budokan, where Paul and George’s harmonies were showcased.
Christmas Time is Here AgainThe Beatles
It’s a Christmas song by the world’s most famous band, the Beatles.
I own all of their original albums, but I had never heard it.
When I looked into it, I found out it was a fan-club-only track that was never released on an album—a legendary, elusive masterpiece.
The Beatles’ classic and popular songs (101–110)
Norwegian WoodThe Beatles
The title is unchanged, but it was featured in the film “Norwegian Wood.” If you listen with your eyes closed, you can picture the beautiful, lush green forests of Norway.
The slightly languid overall mood is also indescribable.
I recommend it for Beatles beginners.
The Beatles: Get BackThe Beatles
The director of the Beatles documentary trilogy is Peter Jackson, known for works such as The Lord of the Rings.
This film is a documentary that mainly focuses on the recording sessions known as the “Get Back sessions” held in 1961, and it makes you feel as if you’ve stepped right into the studio at the time.
Packed with rare scenes that every fan will love, the film is currently available exclusively on the streaming service Disney+.
And I Love HerThe Beatles
Included on the 1964 album “A Hard Day’s Night.” A four-piece rock band from Liverpool formed in 1960.
An early number, its slow-tempo rhythm and the guitar’s melancholic tone seem to dissolve into the quiet air of the night.
A track you’ll want to listen to attentively.
Long and Winding RoadThe Beatles
A song Paul McCartney wrote based on tensions within the band.
Recorded as a very simple ballad in January 1969, it is also known as the only Beatles track on which John Lennon played bass.
After The Beatles broke up in 1970, Phil Spector used this recording as a foundation, applying his recording techniques to shape it into an album track.
Maxwell’s Silver HammerThe Beatles
Although it’s on the classic album Abbey Road, this song isn’t very well known, perhaps because of its playful lyrics.
It’s said that John Lennon hated nursery rhyme–style songs like this one and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, but as a fan, I think it’s wonderful—Paul’s talent as a melody maker overflows here.
