It was Golden Slumbers, but at the very bottom it read "circa 1700." I was very intrigued to say the least, for I was not aware of Thomas Dekker at all. Most of the Simpson creators are Beatles fans. This is one of the best Beatles song. This was one of the first Beatles songs I'd ever heard, and I got hooked to it right away.

I think the only people that need to be able to read music are those that can't write music. The Beatles didn't need to read music, because they could write their own songs. The Beatles started out as skiffle group which was folk and jazz influenced music. They as a bar band covered hundreds of songs of many styles including jazz. So they learned their chord progressions from playing many songs. Jimi Hendrix and Brian Wilson could not read music either.

A selection of songs made to be terrible - some clearly achieved that goal. Kristian talks songwriting technique, like how the chorus should redefine the story, and how to write a song backwards. Thanks to Eminem's song, the word "stan" was added to the Oxford American Dictionary in 2017. Interestingly, the next song on the album features the voices and instruments of all the beatles.

I think McCartney wrote “Golden Slumbers” to try to express his sadness and hurt at the breakup of the Beatles, and to try to soothe himself at the same time. He’s doing this with a song that is supposed to be a lullaby. A lullaby implies someone who is comfortable, singing a soothing song to someone in need of comforting.
Paul McCartney & Wings
Interestingly, this series of songs also represented my personal feelings after John Lennon? Actually John or George did play on this track along with Paul. One of them played that Fender Baritone guitar they used as a bass when Paul played piano. Both John and Paul said in separate interviews that none of the Beatles knew how to read or write music "properly". They didn't have to, they had George Martin who could do it for them. Both said they would have felt "inhibited" if they felt they had to follow the constraints of proper notation.

Even if it is public domain now, the Beatles should have at least acknowledged Dekker in the songwriting credits. Paul begins with "Once there was a way to get back home".... Very Melancholic, almost a durge.

General CommentAh, this song's so lovely! It was written by Paul and it described his then fairly newfound relationship with Linda. From what I've read, Linda introduced Paul to a more pleasant, carefree life.

They married several weeks after the song recording. Though many say that the song also is about the friendship between John Lennon and McCartney. "Two of Us" is a 1969 song by the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon-McCartney).
I have long been a Beatles fan, and rarely gave this song any real thought until last Thursday. As I left to take a break, I noticed a poem, framed on the wall, labeled 'A Lullaby'. As I got closer, I recognized the lyrics, though just slightly different, in a heartbeat.
If that is the best that can be done, it pales in comparison to McCartney. Probably why very few have the balls to try to cover this. On “Carry That Weight“, Paul is conveying anger and blame, whether it’s toward John, Yoko, or Allen Klein, before the song heads back to sadness with the reprise of “You Never Give Me Your Money“.
