I hope Paul Murphy is on this forum or that he joins us sometime soon or in the future. He’s hardcore to spot this.

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

I had a music exam yesterday, and I finished so quickly that my music teacher asked me of I wanted to draw something?

So, I could have drawn anything, but:

You think of Hello Goodbye when you think of the C major scale.

Actually, I think of a Beatles song for most scales… which gets very annoying at band with lots of different keys!

 

Sorry, I’m just going to elaborate on DO’s point there for a second (let’s derail another thread, Holey!paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif). 

This is one of the few Beatles songs in C, I believe. That makes me think Paul wrote it on a piano, not a guitar. Does anyone know any details about the writing process of Hello, Goodbye ?

I’d guess that it was written on piano as The Beatles wrote lots of their songs on piano, even Yesterday and the backing track consisted of piano, organ, drums, and percussion. Also, there’s other Beatles songs in C, The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill and Can’t Buy Me Love come to mind.

Thank you @Ahhh Girl! To think I was on the right website, and still didn’t find the right informationpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

I’ve had bad results with that site before…

It lists the key of The Word to be ‘ Dm7 (w/M3)’ which isn’t a key, Dm is. That’s not the only error!

This site is good for anyone who is bored and has 7 hours to go through all the songs (it’s addicting…)

http://www.icce.rug.nl/~sounds…..anon.shtml

Click on a song… Any song!

YKYAHBFW you spend a long time on that website!
