It’s been nearly two months, but I’m finally picking up with the next entry in my series on each of the original Beatles songs. “Hold Me Tight” is #9 in the series. “Misery” was #8. This song was one of the band’s earliest originals as it had been a part of their live act from [...]

“Misery” is the 8th song in my series on the 186 original Beatles songs released from 1962 through 1970. “Do You Want To Know A Secret?” was the last entry. These first 8 songs are the 8 Lennon/McCartney originals included on The Beatles 1963 debut album, Please Please Me. This is a pretty unremarkable song [...]

I’m finally picking up where I left off with my rather ambitious “Beatles Songs” project (maybe a bit too ambitious, I’m not sure if I’m focused enough to ever finish it) where I take pretty detailed look at all 186 original Beatles song from “Love Me Do” to “I Me Mine” in the order that [...]

This is my 6th entry in my continuing series on each of The Beatles 186 original songs released from 1962 through 1970. This song, “I Saw Her Standing There,” is my favorite of them thus far. It’s a great song, but even if it weren’t a great song it would be notable for being the [...]

This is the 5th song in my continuing “Beatles Songs” series which will eventually cover all 186 original Beatles songs from 1962′s “Love Me Do” to 1970′s “I Me Mine” (the only Beatles song recorded in 1970, it was recorded on 1/3/70 by George, Paul, & Ringo. John was out of the country.) Although, admittedly, [...]

“Ask Me Why” is the 4th entry in my series on The Beatles Original Songs. It was originally released as the b-side to their second single (and first #1 hit), “Please Please Me,” and then included on the Please Please Me album. This song has definitely never been among my favorites. In fact, to me [...]

Picking up where I left off over two months ago, “PS I Love You,” with my “Beatles Songs” series. In this series I take a very close look at every original song The Beatles recorded and officially released from 1962 through 1970. This is the 3rd song in that progression. I think “Please Please Me” [...]

Continuing the John Vs. Paul series I started yesterday with Please Please Me, this is The Beatles second album, 1963′s With The Beatles. With The Beatles (1963) The Beatles second album had 8 originals and 6 cover songs just like their debut. It is considered by most Beatles fans to be one of their lesser [...]

Some of the comments for my last post about The Beatles songs that Paul McCartney wrote have lead me to the idea of doing an album by album series on who contributed more to each Beatles album; John Lennon or Paul McCartney. I’ll start off at the beginning with The Beatles debut album, Please Please [...]
