Old No7 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Interesting... Never saw song lyrics presented this way before... It's one heck of a roundabout on the "Na" part.

marczellm Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Incorrect, the loopback arrow to the first line should not start at "na" but earlier.

Tusker Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. 👍 👍 Peter Jackson's "Let It Be" on Disney+ documents the Beatles' often tortured songwriting process beginning in January 1969. Hey Jude was was written about 6 months earlier so one can infer a similar process. During the writing, Mal Evans serves as note taker for any lyrics which come tumbling out of the Fab Four but particularly out of Lennon and McCartney. McCartney has some almost complete lyrics, but sometimes there are just good sounding phrases which need to be sequenced. Sequencing the phrases is often a subject of intense discussion between Paul and John and you can tell they take each other seriously. It's a partnership. Often the debate over the sequencing of phrases is to intentionally clarify or obscure meaning, Paul typically takes the linear side and John frequently introduces non-linearity or multiple meanings to add texture to the song. This skeleton structure of Hey Jude illustrates the importance of phrases and the sequencing of phrases. Wonderful!! Thank you. 👏 👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadslayer Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 It seems like it could be a pretty useful way to remember the verse order of songs that were consistently structured. I always had trouble remembering the verse order of When a Man Loves a Woman, and A Whiter Shade of Pale for example.

Glad to see some folks here thought this was interesting... Old No7 I found the lyrics including those extra verses. It's funny, but I distinctly remember hearing the "you must be the mermaid who took Neptune for a ride" verse often back in the sixties. I'm pretty sure it was in regular rotation on the FM stations around Boston back in those days. Still a great song either way. "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" We skipped the light fandango turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink the waiter brought a tray And so it was that later as the miller told his tale that her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale She said, 'There is no reason and the truth is plain to see.' But I wandered through my playing cards and would not let her be one of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast and although my eyes were open they might have just as well've been closed She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,' though in truth we were at sea so I took her by the looking glass and forced her to agree saying, 'You must be the mermaid who took Neptune for a ride.' But she smiled at me so sadly that my anger straightway died If music be the food of love then laughter is its queen and likewise if behind is in front then dirt in truth is clean My mouth by then like cardboard seemed to slip straight through my head So we crash-dived straightway quickly and attacked the ocean bed Quote Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
