Bummer of a song today... "Yes It Is" was written by John (in a morose mood, apparently) and "features some of the Beatles' most complex and dissonant three-part vocal harmonies and showcases George Harrison's early use of volume pedal guitar."
While John wasn't too impressed by his own effort on this one (essentially calling it a poor man's "This Boy"), Paul seemed to think it was "a very fine song of John's". I'm leaning more towards Paul on this one; it's inexplicably fascinating. Maybe it's the weird, off-balance harmonies or the weird, off-balance guitar of George's... or the weird, off-balance lyrics in which John rhymes "tonight" with "tonight". Maybe all of these things together. Whatever it is, I like it. :) It makes you want to kind of sway back and forth while you're listening to it--and it's worth listening to, if even to marvel at the weirdness. :P
That's it for today... See you tomorrow!
