Eight Days A Week - Episode 77 with Josh Goodwin

You would not expect a psychoanalyst to pick Eight Days a Week as the song to talk about, but once he explains why, it clicks. In this Beatles podcast episode, we dig into why their newest hit at the time still feels like an intentional throwback, with little “odd” details that make it more interesting the longer you listen.We cover:- Who actually wrote it, and where the title “Eight Days a Week” may have come from- The intro they could not get right, and why the released version fades in- The musical move that makes the song feel slightly unresolved (in a good way)- How and why it became a U.S. #1 single, plus the Beatles for Sale EP context- A quick Help! pre-production storytime: “Eight Arms to Hold You” and how the film got its final shapeWebsite: https://www.notebynoteseries.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
