Fascinating technology, but what a dirge frown
I agree. I'm don't particularly like the Beatles (I know, sacrilege), I don't mind some of their stuff and can hum along quite happily - bit this is aimless banality.
Of course it's a dirge. It's a Lennon song!

Well I couldn't disagree more - indeed if you dive into the structure you should be pleasantly surprised. I certainly was, as I'd always held the opinion that John wrote the better words, and Paul the better music (although I will concede that both were capable of invading the other's territory from time to time).

This chap explains it better than I can:

I don't think there's anything particularly unusual, intriguing or exciting about the basic chordal structure and that chap admits he's an absolute Beatles die hard. And then when you get to the lyrics... What lyrics?
