The Beatles, the most important group in the history of popular music.

In 2023, their final new song “Now And Then” was released, reaching No.

1 in the UK and becoming a hit around the world—a fresh reminder of their enduring popularity.

Did you know that the word “Jojo” appears in the lyrics of their classic 1969 song “Get Back,” written under the leadership of Paul McCartney? It’s famous for being considered the original inspiration for “JoJo,” but in fact, there’s even a scene in the original work where the song title appears exactly as is.

Unfortunately, that was only in the magazine version of its publication in Jump; the song title was removed in the tankobon (collected volume) edition.

While the Beatles’ musical contributions are immeasurable, it’s also fair to say that, beyond their melodies, they left a huge legacy in music history by creating countless phrases everyone has heard at least once.

The ultra-famous main riff of the 1965 single “Day Tripper” isn’t technically difficult, but it perfectly embodies the principle that simplicity is what makes something cool.

And the fact that the bass doubles it in unison makes it all the more incredibly cool.

Among the Beatles’ masterpieces, this is a song where George Harrison’s one-of-a-kind sensibility truly shines.

It’s included on the 1968 album The Beatles (the White Album), and Harrison composed it under the influence of the I Ching, the ancient Chinese classic.

The beautifully crafted melody line—like a guitar quietly weeping—expresses tenderness and wistfulness toward a universal love that lies dormant in the world, resonating deeply with listeners.

The lyrics, filled with Harrison’s sentiments, sing of the sorrow that people fail to express their latent love and goodness.

It’s also a piece that reveals a different kind of charm when played on the piano, so do give it a try.
