It's Only Love

"It's Only Love" is a short & sweet little crooner sung by John, who coincidentally hated the song. As a "filler" song, this tune was less than stellar, and certainly not one of the guys' favorites. Wikipedia clarifies:

In his 1994 biography Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now, McCartney said of the song: "Sometimes we didn't fight it if the lyric came out rather bland on some of those filler songs like 'It's Only Love'. If a lyric was really bad we'd edit it, but we weren't that fussy about it, because it's only a rock 'n' roll song. I mean, this is not literature."

Apparently they were alright with rationing their efforts, saving them for truly great songs and not fretting if the fillers weren't that good. After all, "It's Only Love" was originally "composed with the working title, 'That's A Nice Hat.'" :P I'm alright with the song; it's not terrible, but it's definitely not the best song ever. I like the guitar parts--George filtered his guitar through a rotating Leslie speaker which gives it an interesting sound. Overall, not horrible. I've heard worse.

That's it for today! See you tomorrow. :)
