50 Years ago Lennon/McCartney wrote
She Loves You.
Here's how:
Already maturing, the partnership’s writing formula can be heard here as
the dual expression of Lennon’s downbeat cynicism and McCartney’s
get-up-and-go optimism. Much of the pair’s musical originality derived
from their self-taught willingness to let their fingers discover
chord-sequences by exploring the architecture of their guitars rather
than following orthodox progressions. Yet these choices were driven by
the harmonies they used—and these arguably reflected the contrast of
their temperaments. Even at this stage their relationship could be
acerbic and they were capable of bickering vitriolically in public,
though under this lay an enduring emotional bond and a steady respect
for each other’s talent and intelligence which overrode their
disagreements.
This is
funny:
Paul then relates how they
premiered the song to his father. "We went into the living room - 'Dad,
listen to this. What do you think?' So we played it to my dad and he
said, 'That's very nice, son, but there's enough of these Americanisms
around. Couldn't you sing, "She loves you, Yes! Yes! Yes!"' At which
point we collapsed in a heap and said, 'No, Dad, you don't quite get
it!'"
