What a great cover! The
lyrics about places and friends refer to Stu Sutcliffe, an early Beatle and great friend
of John's who died in 1962. Lennon also thought of his Aunt Mimi and wife
Cynthia, as well as other friends. John called it "A little piece of art
work."
The Beatles left a hole
for the instrumental break when they recorded this. Producer George Martin
filled it in the next morning by playing a piano solo and speeding up the tape
to make it sound like a harpsichord. Lennon had asked him to fill it with something
"baroque."
In an interview in the
January 1971 edition of Rolling Stone, John Lennon recalled the writing of this
song: "I wrote that in Kenwood (his home at the time). I used to write
upstairs where I had about ten Brunell tape recorders all linked up." Paul also helped him.
