"A Day in the Life" by The Beatles

Wake up, fall out of bed, and drag a comb across your head, cause
Strong Songs is finally doing an episode about The Beatles.


It's time for Kirk to tackle the fab four, and what better
Beatles song to analyze than Lennon and McCartney's two-tune
casserole of a closer, "A Day in the Life." Get ready for some
lilting Lennon dreamscapes, some meticulous McCartney
melodies,  a really big glissando, and an even bigger E
chord.


Written by: John Lennon and Paul McCartney


Album: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band (1967)
