![]() “I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me”. ![]() Songs like Norwegian Wood, Paperback Writer, and Tomorrow Never Knows are mostly or entirely based out of one chord, but elements around that chord, like Paul’s bass on Paperback Writer, the sitar and bobbing bass on Norwegian Wood, and all the insanity around Tomorrow Never Knows make those songs into something else entirely. The Beatles often had songs that were really simple, like “Norwegian Wood”, but they arranged it in such a way so as to disguise that fact, which added depth to the song. I think The Beatles and The Beach Boys are artists who may best exemplify that vibe, in both directions. I think my favorite songwriting tends to be when the songwriter in questions balances the “simple to complex” scale.
