Today's song is "Fixing a Hole", which was written and sung by Paul, with John and George on backing vocals. It's a pretty straightforward song, with a couple little allusions. For example, in 1967 McCartney stated that the lines, "See the people standing there / who disagree, and never win / And wonder why they don't get in my door" were about fans who were constantly lurking around his house, and "whose actions he found off-putting".
I find this song rather relaxing, in a way. The lyrics seem to talk about escaping the crazy and finding a peaceful place to chill out for a while: "I'm painting the room in a colourful way / And when my mind is wandering / There I will go." I also love the rhyming scheme in this section: "And it really doesn't matter if / I'm wrong I'm right / Where I belong I'm right / Where I belong." :) Overall, this is a fantastic song, and it kind of gives you a break from the more intense and psychedelic tunes that we've heard up to this point on Sgt. Pepper.
See you tomorrow!
