'Highway' by The Fireman / 'Helter Skelter' by The Beatles.

The outro to the first blended with the intro to the second in stunning fashion.

I Will/Mother Nature's Son/Blackbird, love Paul's voice in these songs, and also his acoustic guitar.

And if we're including solo careers, I like Mother/Beautiful Boy. Makes me glad how much happier he was near the end of his life compared to the early 1970's!

And probably one of my favourites:

Band on the Run/Happiness is a Warm Gun, I find the format of these songs similar and shows the difference in style between Paul and John.

Oh, and I know this isn't strictly Beatles, but it's close enough. And Your Bird Can Sing/Crush On You (Bruce Springsteen). My iPod brought me that gem this morning.

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" / "I Am the Walrus" / "Cry, Baby, Cry" -- John's Lewis Carroll-inspired trilogy

"Helter Skelter" / "I've Got a Feeling" / "Oh! Darling" -- Paul's vocal-shredding trilogy

I was lulled into a temporary little trance by the sound of the horse's hooves, when all of a sudden, the heavy guitar opening of "SS, SS" threw cold water in my face.

Très cool.stuart-sutcliffe

The 2 songs have absolutley nothing in common, save for the singer. However, the closing "clip-clop" of the horse's hooves at the end of "WTW" went abruptly into the intro of "SS,SS" without a gap of time. It sounded completely awesome to me.

Give it a go and see if you agree.a-hard-days-night-john-7

Not Guilty and Glass Onion. They would have gone together perfectly.

Act Naturally and If You've Got Trouble because they are both Helpesque and both Ringo.

I'm also thinking of What You're Doing and I'll Cry Instead off the top of my head.

Here's my opinion:

Its Only Love and Every Little Thing Meanmistermustard

 

No, it doesn't work for me.

 

"Things We Said Today" — "You Can't Do That."   Meanmrsmustard

 

That one's a joke, right? Harruuummph

However, most excellent call on "When I Get Home."

 

I disagree. I love When I Get Home. It feels like the perfect bridge.  Mr. Sun king coming together

 

No sir, you are wrong.

 

But the "If I Fell – I'm Happy Just To Dance With You – And I Love Her" trilogy is inspired - the 'Something New' LP is the first Beatles album I ...]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2012 02:04:03 +0100 GeorgeTSimpson on Good song pairings http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/good-song-pairings/page-5/#p58244 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/good-song-pairings/page-5/#p58244 When I listen to all beatles songs I really love when there is at first a real hard rock song like helter skelter and then a ballad like golden slumbers. I'm always in a quite agressive mood after listening to a song like helter skelter and then songs like gooden slumbers cool me down again. I love that

Just because of the lyrics.

Thanks to the Love album, I always sing ''bepp-beep beep-beep yeah'' after ''the word, love'' and it´s because of that that I´ve realised that these two songs are similar although they´re not the same in terms of the meaning.
