The Beatles - Getting Better
The Beatles - Getting Better High Quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLaGPmvCBL8&feature=email&fmt=18 Copyright - 1967 EMI Records Ltd. "Getting Better" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney based on an original idea by McCartney. It was recorded by The Beatles for the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song's music suggests optimism yet the lyrics, strongly influenced by Lennon, alludes to more sinister themes. In this sense, it exaggerates the contrasting personas of the two most active songwriters in the group. In response to McCartney's line, "It's getting better all the time," Lennon replies, "It can't get no worse!" Lennon also claimed the lyric that begins, "I used to be cruel to my woman..." According to Hunter Davies, the initial idea for the song's title came from a phrase often spoken by Jimmy Nicol, the group's stand-in drummer for the Australian leg of a 1964 tour. Lennon on the roof One of the recording sessions for "Getting Better" is famous for an incident involving Lennon. During the 21 March 1967 session in which producer George Martin added a piano solo, Lennon complained that he didn't feel well and couldn't focus. He had accidentally taken LSD when he meant to take an upper. Unaware of the mistake, Martin took him up to the roof of Abbey Road Studio for some fresh air, and returned to Studio Two where McCartney and Harrison were waiting. They knew why Lennon wasn't well, and upon hearing where Lennon was, rushed to the roof to retrieve him and prevent a possible accident. Construction The song, musically reminiscent of the hit single "Penny Lane", moves forward by way of regular chords, produced by Lennon's guitar and George Martin, who struck the strings of a pianette with a mallet. These heavily accented and repetitive lines cause the song to sound as if it is based on a drone. Lead guitarist George Harrison adds an Indian tambura part to the final verse, which further accentuates this impact. The song was performed live for the first time by McCartney during his 2002and 2003 US and World Tours. Recorded 9 March 1967 Lyrics: It's getting better all the time I used to get mad at my school The teachers that taught me weren't cool You're holding me down Burning me round filling me up with the rules I've got to admit it's getting better a little better all the time I have to admit it's getting better it's getting better since you've been mine Me used to be angry young man Me hiding me head in the sand You gave m the word I finally heard I'm doing the best that I can I've got to admit it's getting better a little better all the time I have to admit it's getting better it's getting better since you've been mine getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time better, better, better It's getting better all the time better, better, better I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can I've got to admit it's getting better a little better all the time Yes, admit it's getting better it's getting better since you've been mine getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time better, better, better It's getting better all the time better, better, better Getting so much better all the time
