In the heart of their creative process, The Beatles ventured into uncharted territory with a song that seemed to hover on a single chord. McCartney, anxious about its simplicity, feared producer George Martin might find it too basic for their repertoire. Their worry stemmed from its resemblance to Indian music, built around singular chords—a far cry from their usual three-chord structure.
Yet, Martin surprised them. Despite his classical background, he embraced the tune enthusiastically, acknowledging its departure from the norm. His response encouraged the band to transform Lennon's vision into reality. They embarked on a sonic journey, weaving Starr's innovative looped drumming and layers of experimental backward effects, pushing the boundaries of their sound beyond the limitations of live performances.
