Comprising two distinct sections—a haunting opening by John followed by Paul's vivid storytelling—McCartney envisioned uniting the two halves with an orchestra's swelling buzz of sound. His audacious plan involved conducting an 80-piece orchestra by feeling rather than using sheet music, yet logistical challenges emerged. George Martin ingeniously intervened, suggesting recording a 40-musician ensemble four times, effectively doubling the impact of a full orchestra.
