Home Actor John Lennon HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers December 2023 John Lennon Instagram - ELEANOR RIGBY. 🔴 Both of us. I wrote a good lot of the lyrics, about 70 per cent. The first verse was his and the rest are basically mine. But the way he did it… Well, he knew he had a song. But by that time he didn’t want to ask for my help, and we were sitting around with Mal Evans and Neil Aspinall, so he said to us, ‘Hey, you guys, finish up the lyrics.’ He had the first lines about ‘Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church when there is nobody there.’ And we worked in a room together on it somewhere to finish off a verse and a bit, and then the rest of it was finished off in the studio. We had Father McCartney for a bit, but he said his dad would be upset ‘cause it sounded better than McKenzie, but we made it into McKenzie, but from then on it was new characters. He didn’t have the middle eight, ‘Ah, look at all the lonely people’ – he and George Harrison were settling on that as I left the room to go to the toilet, at the studio, and I turned around and said, ‘That’s it!’ I just dig the strings on Eleanor Rigby, it’s sort of like ‘30’s strings. Jane Asher turned him on to Vivaldi and he made that backing and it was very good. Ray Charles did a great version of this.

John Lennon Instagram – TICKET TO RIDE. 🔴
That’s me. That was the first, one of the earliest heavy metal records made, I think. Paul’s contribution was the way Ringo played the drums. 

‘Ticket to Ride’ was one move. I remember that, you know, it was a definite sort of change. I liked it because it was a slightly new sound at the time. It was pretty fucking heavy for then. If you go and look in the charts, or whatever music people were making and you hear it now, it’s one of them and it doesn’t make you cringe. If you give me the eight-track, I’ll remix it and I’ll show you what it is, really, but you can hear it there. 

I used to like guitars, you know, I don’t want anything else on the album, the guitar’s jangling, piano or whatever and it’s all happening, it’s a heavy record, you know, and the drums are heavy too, that’s why I like it.

“My baby don’t care” – one of my favorite bits of ‘Ticket To Ride’ – we just threw on at the end on the fade-out.
