Sitting in a blue sea

Looking at you

My bells ring out

To get your attention

You look at me with your green eyes

 

You paw your face

Like it's a disgrace

You lick your own ass

And look at me like it's nothing important

 

Little girl made your point

By kneading your perch

Do you think you own me?

 

Meowing your intentions of

Snuggling with me in my blue sea

 

Huggies and scratches

 

 

 

 

As I'm digging into the catalogue of The Beatles, I'm really discovering just how much of an influence they have been in both what I compose on guitar, or in my style of playing, but also on my lyrical work.

 

To be honest, the only album of theirs I owned in my life prior to 9-9-09 was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I've heard all of the other albums off and on over the years, and of course, the songs that everyone all seem to know.

 

I only need to buy With The Beatles, Help!, A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Yellow Submarine, and Beatles For Sale.

 

I basically bought the CDs as to try to remember childhood memories in some cases, (Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road), rediscovery in others (White Album), and the I-kind-of-know-it-but-don't-remember-it (Let It Be) to the I-Simply-Do-Not-Know-It (Please, Please Me).

 

I really wanted to get Revolver today so I could have finished up my psychedelic portion of the collection, but I ended up with Past Masters, which is basically an album released in 1988 that gathered up the songs that were the singles, or songs not released on any album. I can now play Hey Jude with total utter love, crank it loud. But there's a song I heard that falls into the rediscovery category, and the history of it alone should be appreciated for how music is done today.

 

If you read about the song Rain, it's the song that the band essentially, according to George Harrision, "The first MTV video". It also seems to be the first song to use the art of recording something backwards for a song.

 

 

The "MTV Video Version (minus the backwards vocals)"

 

 

John sings it. I'm trying to play it properly on guitar (G-C-D), but Paul rules this with his bass.
