Today's song is "The Word". It marks a change from The Beatles' normal method of speaking about love (that is, between a boy and a girl). Instead, the lyrics (written on a multicolored lyric sheet by John and Paul after smoking some pot) are more abstract. "It's so fine, it's sunshine / It's the word, love" describes the idea of love rather than a specific instance of it.
I think this song's pretty groovy; the high vocal range and the guitar parts really put me in mind of the sound of the 70's musically, while the lyrics are solidly 60's and the first Beatles song I've encountered to start talking about free love (in a roundabout way). :) It's definitely a unique love song.
That's all for today! See you guys tomorrow. :)
