#155 - I Want To Tell You CROSSOVER - El Vinilo Returns!
b'
By 1966, The Beatles, particular George Harrison, are growing in all sorts of ways. George is living out the most incredible life experiences, immersing himself in eastern religion and culture, and truly blossoming as a songwriter. For the first time, he gets three songs on the band\'s new album Revolver, and on "I Want To Tell You", he\'s letting the listener know that there\'s so much he\'s seen and learned that he wants to relay, only, he can\'t find the right way to do it. The frustration turns into music as dissonant chords echo the feeling of hanging one\'s head against the wall. And this isn\'t just a fab gear pop rock song. It\'s a song with pounding piano, a glitchy guitar riff, and melodically oozing the influence of the Indian music he\'s now studying under Ravi Shankar. It\'s a real inclusion of eastern music and western pop, and it\'s the last time we hear George writing as a guitarist for the next year and a half or so. A song with this much going for it is destined to be a stand out on any album in any band\'s catalog, right? Right?
