1640 The Beatles - In My Life

1640 The Beatles - In My Life

From: Rubber Soul, Year: 1965
Genre: Pop/Rock

I thought for sure that I had chosen this, one of my favourite tracks from the band sometime in the past, but apparently not.
Even though it is crammed into a radio-friendly 2 and a half minutes, it contains just as many interesting musical ideas as some song twice or three times its length. I guess it's kind of what I've heard referred to as a "transistor glamour," i.e. something that contains everything that's needed, but is contained in a small, compact package.
Anyway, although I like the entire piece, my favourite part has to be the sped-up piano solo that was intentionally written to sound in the style of J.S. Bach.
