This isolated bass version shows how much he gave to the track and even though, the vocals might not be how he envisaged them that should taking nothing away from his accomplished performance on the four-string.Join Instructor Sara MR Thompson for two-30 minute Fitness Classes at Lift Bridge Brewing in Stillwater! ‘Come Together’ is the perfect song in the eyes of millions but, being the perfectionist that he is, Macca still can’t help thinking about the further potential that harmony could have added to the track. “On ‘Come Together’ I would have liked to sing harmony with John, and I think he would have liked me to, but I was too embarrassed to ask him, and I don’t work to the best of my abilities in that situation.” McCartney does hold regret over some of the track, later stating: “Even on Abbey Road we don’t do harmonies like we used to. Something that would not have happened without the song’s legendary bass line. It remains one of the Beatles’ fans favourite ever songs from the Fab Four. The track famously acted as the opening track on their 1969 album and was also released as a single coupled with ‘Something’. This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning ‘ Come Together‘ and McCartney’s masterful performance on the track that is an utter joy to behold, especially when heard isolated. We positioned it directly in front of the bass speaker and the moving diaphragm of the second speaker made the electrical current.” Then we boosted it further by using a loudspeaker as a microphone. For a start, Paul played a different bass, a Rickenbacker. Geoff Emerick, Abbey Road engineer, said of the song: “‘Paperback Writer’ was the first time the bass sound had been heard in all its excitement.

As well as using a new subject matter with The Beatles, finally deviating from love songs on ‘Paperback Writer’, they also tried to change up their lyrical structure by changing the lyrics into something a little more conceptual, this was a track that truly let McCartney thrive on the bass. It’s not just the lyricism that McCartney excelled at on this timeless classic, and his bass is another example of his unadulterated genius. But it was mainly Paul’s tune,” Lennon told Hit Parade in 1972, later confirming with Playboy that “‘Paperback Writer’ is son of ‘Day Tripper’, but it is Paul’s song.” ![]() “I think I might have helped with some of the lyrics. A song that Frank Sinatra would go on to describe as “the greatest love song ever written.” Whilst the song is Harrison’s time to shine, McCartney helped immeasurably on the bass to create the masterpiece.Ĭredited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership, Lennon would later admit that bar a few words and some inspiration that the song was entirely McCartney’s idea. The real muse behind Harrison’s effort will remain forever unknown, and the ambiguity of ‘Something’ is what helps make it such a universally loved track. With his pal taking up the reigns in front of the mic, Macca didn’t use this as an excuse to phone it in and, as a real team player, his offering complements Harrison’s genius beautifully. ‘Something’ is George Harrison’s finest hour with The Beatles and a key ingredient in the song’s utter magnificence is Paul McCartney’s contribution to the track on the bass. Let’s get stuck in then, shall we?
