Flying

Today we have the instrumental "Flying", the first song to be written by, and credited to, all four of the Beatles. Although there is some singing, it's minimal--basically just some la-la-la's. The focus of the song is really on the music itself. John, Paul, George and Ringo used various instruments and effects for "Flying", such as the "mellotron, guitar, bass, maracas, drums, and tape loops overdubs."

This one's pretty relaxing. It really does give you the feeling you're flying (in the film, which we'll see more about later, "the music is accompanied... by color-altered images of landscape in Iceland taken from an aeroplane". 

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