Home Actor John Lennon HD Photos and Wallpapers December 2023 John Lennon Instagram - DAY TRIPPER. 🔴 That’s mine. Including the lick, the guitar, the whole bit. I think Paul helped me out with the verse. ‘Day Tripper’ was under complete pressure, based on an old folk song I wrote about the month previous. It was a very hard going, and it sounds it. It’s just a rock and roll song. It wasn’t a serious message song. It was a drug song. I just liked the word. ‘Day Trippers’ are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a boat, you know, a ferry boat or something. But it was kind of, you know, ‘you’re just a weekend hippie’. The real line in that was ‘she’s a prick teaser, she took me half the way there’. But we wrote ‘big teaser’ in the lyrics. ‘Paperback Writer’ is son of ‘Day Tripper’ – a rock ’n’ roll song with a guitar lick on a fuzzy, loud guitar – but is Paul’s song.

John Lennon Instagram – FROM ME TO YOU. 🔴
The night Paul and I wrote ‘From Me To You’, we were on the Helen Shapiro tour, on the coach, travelling from York to Shrewsbury (28 Feb 1963). We weren’t taking ourselves seriously – just fooling around on the guitar – when we began to get a good melody line, and we really started to work at it. Before that journey was over, we’d completed the lyric, everything. I think the first line was mine and we took it from there. What puzzled us was why we’d thought of a name like ‘From Me To You’. It had me thinking when I picked up the NME to see how we were doing in the charts. Then I realised – we’d got the inspiration from reading a copy on the coach. Paul and I had been talking about one of the letters in the ‘From You To Us’ column.

We were looking to write the next single after ‘She Loves You.’ It was getting pretty hard to top each single.
We’d already written ‘Thank You Girl’ as the follow-up to ‘Please Please Me’. This new number was to be the B-side. We were so pleased with it, we knew we just had to make it the A-side.

It was far bluesier than that when we wrote it. You know, the notes, you could rearrange it pretty funky. We nearly didn’t do it because it was too bluesy. But by the time we’d finished it and George Martin had scored it with harmonica it was all right. I’d played a lot of harmonica, mouth organ, really, it was. And so we did those numbers and so we started using it on ‘Love Me Do’. We used to work out arrangements and we just used it and then we stuck it on ‘Please Please Me’ and then we stuck it on ‘From Me To You’.

I remember it was Paul’s idea, or was that ‘From Me to You’ where instead of singing ‘I Love You’ that we’d have a third party passing a message on to someone else. And that kind of little detail is apparent in his work, where he will write a story. I’m more inclined to just write about myself.

The ‘Ooh!’ was taken from the Isley Brothers ‘Twist and Shout’ which we stuck in everything, ‘From Me to You’, ‘She Loves You’, they all had that ‘Ooh!’.

That was a combination written song, it was not a song that was written individually. It was created together, singing into each other’s notes.
John Lennon Instagram – A DAY IN THE LIFE. 🔵
It was a good piece of work between Paul and I. I had the ‘I read the news today’ – all that bit. And it turned him on, you know. Because now and then we really turn each other on with a bit of a song. 

It just sort of happened beautifully. And we arranged it and rehearsed it – which we don’t often do – the afternoon before, so we all knew what we were playing. And we just all got into it. And it was a real groove, you know, the whole scene, on that one.

It had two stories. One was (Tara Brown) the Guinness child that killed himself in a car. That was the main headline story. And on the next page there were about four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

It was (written) in Kenwood, the house in the suburbs. I’m on the piano and the TV is going, over in the corner, flickering. And I was just looking for inspiration and I looked down. Do you know those kinds of sections they have in newspapers of top different things that happened? They had about four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire – a real story that the council had spent real money.

The bulk of the song was written entirely by me. Paul’s contribution being that little beautiful little lick going into his song, ‘I’d love to turn you on’ – that melodic little piece there where it changes – is his contribution. 

It came to a where I needed a middle eight, but, you know, that would have been forcing it. All the rest had come out smooth, flowing, no trouble. And to write a middle eight would have been to write a middle eight. 

We got into ‘how about putting a whole different song’ which he already had – that had nothing to do with ‘A Day in the Life’ – which is all about being on the top of the bus in a barber chair. He sang that (middle) bit. He had that one little lick floating around in his head. He couldn’t use it for anything. He stuck it on. 

And putting those two together was a pre­cursor to the Abbey Road (medley) style, later on. Abbey Road Studios
