1. Come Together: Lennon’s gritty, swampy banger opens with a “shoot me” whisper and a bassline that screams cool. Cryptic lyrics about juju eyeballs? Peak weird. It’s a strutting, smoky vibe that hooks you instantly.
2. Something: Harrison’s tender love song is a softboi masterpiece. Silky melody, heart-eyes lyrics, and a bridge that’s pure warmth. Sinatra stanned it, and so do I.
3. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer: Paul’s murdery ditty is… odd. The Moog synth pops, but this jaunty serial-killer tale feels like a creepy uncle at a cool party.
4. Oh! Darling: McCartney’s vocal shred is raw, retro soul. It’s a doo-wop heartbreak bop with grit and passion. It’s like he’s crying in a ’50s diner.
5. Octopus’s Garden: Ringo’s quirky underwater jam is wholesome AF. Playful and trippy, it’s a sunny bubble that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Ringo being Ringo.
6. I Want You (She’s So Heavy): Lennon’s obsessive blues-rock beast is intense. That riff and desperate vibe build to a chaotic cutoff. It’s heavy, hypnotic, and a total mood.
7. Here Comes the Sun: Harrison’s acoustic gem radiates hope. Delicate guitar and pure optimism make it a warm hug in song form.
8. Because: Lennon’s dreamy harmonies over a Moog-drenched haze are otherworldly. It’s short, haunting, and feels like floating in space.
9-16. The Medley: You Never Give Me Your Money” is soulful, “Sun King” is lush, “Mean Mr. Mustard” and “Polythene Pam” are scrappy fun. “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window” pops off, “Golden Slumbers” tugs heartstrings, “Carry That Weight” rallies, and “The End” is a triumphant goodbye.
17. Her Majesty: At only 26 seconds, it’s brief, whimsy and over before you realised it began.
