Video Tell Me Why

The Beatles Tell Me Why
From the 1964 album A Hard Days Night

The Beatles - Tell Me Why
The Beatles - Tell Me Why (Copyright 1964 EMI Records) "Tell Me Why" is a song by The Beatles from their album A Hard Day's Night. In the US it would also feature on the album Something New. Credited to Lennon/mccartney, it was written by John Lennon in either Paris or New York and recorded in eight takes on 27 February 1964 at Abbey Road Studios. Paul mccartney said "I think a lot of these songs like "Tell Me Why" may have been based in real experiences or affairs John was having, or arguments with Cynthia or whatever, but it never occurred to us until later to put that slant on it all." Lennon described the song as resembling "a black New York girl-group song". Its basic structure of simple doo-wop chord changes and block harmonies over a walking bass line "creates an illusion of sincerity through its sheer attack." "Tell Me Why" was performed in The Beatles' debut feature film A Hard Day's Night. The song was part of the 'studio performance' sequence, which was filmed at the Scala Theatre, London, on 31 March 1964. Lennon's lead vocals in the film differ from either the mono or stereo studio versions. In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Enjoy :) Albums: A Hard Day's Night Recorded: February 27, 1964 Released: July 10, 1964
