ACOUSTIC GUITAR CLASSICS

There is no other song like this, that sounds like this. It was born, history tells us, when Lennon discovered Dylan and pot. You're listening to 1964-era Beatles, electric guitar pop songs - classics, mind you - but before you know what a RubberSoul is, before you know Michelle or Girl, a whole album before that, is this song.

It starts out with acoustic guitar and what sounds like sifting sand in the background. Here's the (so-called) lead singer of the most popular band in the world singing "Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall." Then "If she's gone i can't go on, feeling two-foot-" -- tall? -- no, "-- small".

Eventually we get to the chorus. Try it someday. It starts out "Hey!" and then drops off a cliff down an octave. "you've got to hide your....love away". On "--way" it's distinctively english and if you try to sing like that nowadays, it's like a bad Austin Powers imitation. There's also a back-in-the-throat growl that is distinctively Lennon.

I've always heard this song in red, hence this tint.
