Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 2 & 1
“It’s one of those that has enough little biddies going to keep you interested even a hundred years later.” - John Lennon, describing “I Am The Walrus” on The Beatles Anthology. The complete list to date. Songs 2 & 1 in the worst-to-first countdown of every original song by The Beatles.
Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 5 to 3
9. “Something” 8. “Strawberry Fields Forever” 7. “In My Life” 6. “All You Need Is Love” Well, if rock ‘n’ roll is the music of youthful rebellion, than “She’s Leaving Home” fits that bill as well as any song in The Beatles’ canon. gt;Songs 5-3 in the worst-to-first countdown of every original son...

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 14 to 10
You might as well call this song “She Loves You Not.” Once again The Beatles tackle a love story from a third-person perspective, but this time the story is at the painful epilogue instead of the happy start. And once again Paul McCartney shows his mastery of the slow stuff and he gives a suitab...

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 19 to 15
1) This was The Beatles second single. Second. As in the one after the first. In other words, they went from the relatively prosaic “Love Me Do” to the ramshackle brilliance of “Please Please Me.” So much for a natural progression. It’s like winning a game of Monopoly without ever passing Go. How d...

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 24 to 20
24. “She Loves You” It’s easy to hear the echoes of The Beach Boys in this haunting Paul McCartney song off Revolver. “God Only Knows” in particular sounds like an antecedent. But Macca, and The Beatles as a whole, knew the difference between being influenced by something and outright theft.

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 29 to 25
That package sure is lovely. The piano is the driving force, but Ringo’s twitchy high hats and Paul’s roaming bass are crucial as well. And the “ooh-la-la-la” falsetto backing vocals are a luscious bit of frosting. gt;Songs 29-25 in the worst-to-first countdown of every original song by Th...

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 34 to 30
That unforgettable harmony guitar riff played by Paul and George is a hook for the ages… Although McCartney claimed to have written the song about his new wife Linda, we Beatles fans will always hear it as The Ballad of John and Paul. gt;Songs 34-30 in the worst-to-first countdown of every o...

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 44 to 40
An ingenious pastiche of Chuck Berry and The Beach Boys, two of Paul McCartney’s chief idols/inspirations, “Back In The U.S.S.R” starts the White Album off with a heaping helping of old-fashioned, American-style rock’n’roll. The album would veer wildly away from such straightforward pl...

Playing the Beatles Backwards: Songs 54 to 50
54. “Help!” John Lennon described the period when he wrote the title track to The Beatles’ second film as his “fat Elvis period.” The sudden rush of fame had never quite sunk in and he still felt, for all his seeming bravado and confidence, like an insecure kid. 51. “Yesterday”
