At the exact point in this song where they start singing “1 2 3 4 5 6 7, all good children go to heaven,” I always start getting goosebumps and find myself transported somewhere else. Pure genius.

Transported to somewhere like…heaven, you mean?
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

I wish they didn’t fade out some songs so quickly…this is a good example, as well as While My Guitar Gently Weeps .

That bit is creepy.
Great song though, love it. I Also like how that little bit in the middle of Carry That Weight refers back to this song.

Well, I think it’s more a reflection of Lennon’s typically cheeky and wry commentary about religious “dogma” (which is always bad, of course).

Offline Along with “Dear Prudence ” this is the best performed and produced Beatles song. It’s hard to believe they were breaking up. There’s so much group interplay and instrumental virtuosity. And Paul’s lead vocal is beyond belief, right up to the “yes indeed mama mama ah ah” ad-lib. Sure, they’ve written better songs, but this one I don’t know. It’s so perfect.

Too bad Ringo doesn’t even play on “Dear Prudence “! Albeit Paul rocks the fuck out towards the end (in my mind-his best drumming)
BUT i should
Me and “You Never Give Me Your Money ” have had some very INTENSE moments in my life…
“I never give you my pillow, I only send you my invitation and in the middle of the celebration: I break down”
That’s when I get chills (during the coda in “Carry That Weight ” – Iguess; I’msuremanychills occur when I listen to Abbey Road the whole way through)
Richie Havens did a version that says “1234567-All God ‘s children go to Heaven” instead of “good” hahahah ~trippy?

Offline I love the fact that the famous medley starts with this track that is like a little medley of it’s own. I find myself transported somewhere magical right from the start! The whole production and execution of this track is ethereal. It’s The Beatles at their best with McCartney right where he should be…on top and in charge!

Offline LOL — Beatles fans bickering interminably about the technical minutiae and we non-geeks will apparently never know what the actual truth of the matter is. If only Paul’s memory wasn’t strangely impaired and if only there existed journalists to ask him questions like this.

Offline And in the comments of Joe’s page on this song, people start bickering about who played the “boogie woogie” piano part — Paul or George Martin, and if Paul, did he play it slow then speed up the tape, etc. If only Paul was alive and had a functioning memory so we could ask him….
