Songs We Were Singing: Guided Tours Through the Beatles' Lesser-Known Tracks

Take A â€œMagical Mystery Tourâ€ through the Beatlesâ€™ Deep Tracks. The Beatlesâ€™ music has become so ingrained in our culture that their songs have become an integral part of our everyday lives. Who doesnâ€™t know the words to â€œHey Judeâ€ or â€œLet It Beâ€? Who hasnâ€™t been moved by the poetry of â€œEleanor Rigbyâ€ or energized by that opening chord of â€œA Hard Dayâ€™s Nightâ€? Songs We Were Singing uncovers the buried treasures that deserve a second listen. Beatlefan contributing editor and Something Else Reviews â€œDeep Beatlesâ€ columnist Kit Oâ€™Toole serves as a musical tour guide, taking readers through the composing and recording processes of songs such as â€œIâ€™ll Get Youâ€ or â€œWhen I Get Home.â€ How do these songs fit in with the Beatlesâ€™ legacy, and why do they still resonate with listeners? This magical tour covers their failed1962 Decca audition, their raw Hamburg performances at the Star Club, BBC radio appearances, and every album from Please Please Me to Abbey Road. This journey also takes some interesting detours. Not overlooking the solo years, Oâ€™Toole also examines certain albums and tracks, reassessing their value. How have albums such as Paul McCartneyâ€™s Press to Play and George Harrisonâ€™s 33 1/3 aged over the years? This tour itinerary includes a look back at the 2009 CD remasters, a list of John Lennonâ€™s most underrated songs, and a revealing discussion of Ringo Starrâ€™s best drumming performances. The product of many years of studying â€œBeatleology,â€ Oâ€™Tooleâ€™s Songs We Were Singing appeals to first generation fans as well as younger Beatles listeners. Grab a pair of headphones, read this book, and rediscover songs that you never knewâ€”or thought you knew.
