Music You'd Better Listen To - The Beatles - Oh! Darling Website / Myspace /...

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

The Beatles - Oh! Darling

Website / Myspace / Amazon

—-

Ohhhh, man. I hadn’t heard this song in ages until this morning, when it woke me up.

I feel so odd about this track… there’s nothing exceptional or magical about it, like there is about A Day In The Life, or Eleanor Rigby. Its strength, in my eyes, comes from the simplicity of a fairly standard (8-bar? 12-bar?) blues riff mixed with Paul’s passionate vocals.

Damn, am I glad I reloaded all my Beatles into my iTunes. I have a pretty extensive collection, but I had to cut it to my favourites/the bare essentials when I was running out of disk space. But now that I have a sweet bus-powered USB hard drive, I’m back to the 100+ gigs of music I like to call my own.

So, as I sit here eating a peanut butter sandwich, and my roommate raises the volume of the TV in the other room to counter my music playing here, I salute you, Fab Four.
