The Beatles don't look so "down" while they are singing that song! Gosh, I remember that well! Sorry if you are feeling down and hope you feel better soon, Colette!
Wondering if you are down, too. That brings back a time and a place when I was 15 years old. A timeless time and place, for that matter. I'm surprised to see John Lennon playing the piano.
I'm a Beatles fan and yet I'm not sure I've ever heard that song. (I know later Beatles more than earlier Beatles.) I'm sorry you're down. It may not always seem like it but you will rise again.
Sadly, it's not on one of their albums. According to Wikipedia ""I'm Down" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was released on a non-album single as the B-side to "Help!" in July 1965. The song originated in McCartney's attempt to write a song in the style of Little Richard, whose song "Long Tall Sally" the band regularly covered."
Also ""I'm Down" has received praise from several music critics and musicologists, with several mentioning McCartney's strong vocal and the band's raucous performance. The Beatles regularly performed the song during their 1965 and 1966 tours as the closing number, including an especially chaotic performance in August 1965 depicted in the documentary The Beatles at Shea Stadium. Beastie Boys and Aerosmith are among the artists that have covered the song."

Thanks, Ellen. No they don't look down, do they! They look like they were having a great time.
DeleteI haven't thought of that song in such a long time. Perfect music for this gray day here. Hope all is okay there for you and your family, Colette.
ReplyDeleteWe are okay, Robin. Thanks for asking.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing him play the piano as well.
DeleteHow can we jump and thump the "feeling down's" out of us? They didn't address the answer to the question.
