The Beatles - All My Loving

Описание: The Beatles - All My Loving 1963

"All My Loving" is a song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney[1] (credited to Lennon/McCartney), from the 1963 album With The Beatles. Though it was not released as a single in the United Kingdom or the United States, it drew considerable radio airplay, prompting EMI to issue it as the title track of an EP.[2] The song was released as a single in Canada, where it became a number one hit. The Canadian single was imported into the US in enough quantities to peak at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1964.[3][4]

According to journalist Bill Harry, McCartney wrote the lyrics while shaving,[5] though McCartney told biographer Barry Miles that he wrote them while on a tour bus.[1] He also said, "It was the first song I'd ever written the words first. I never wrote words first, it was always some kind of accompaniment. I've hardly ever done it since either."[1] The lyrics follow the "letter song" model as used on "P.S. I Love You",[2] the B-side of their first single. After arriving at the location of the gig, he wrote the music on a piano backstage.[1]

McCartney originally envisioned it as a country & western song, and George Harrison added a Nashville-style guitar solo.[1][2] John Lennon's rhythm guitar track uses quickly strummed triplets similar to "Da Doo Ron Ron" by The Crystals, a song that was popular at the time.[2]

Lennon expressed his esteem for the song in his 1980 Playboy interview:[6]

The Beatles recorded the song on 30 July 1963 in eleven takes with three overdubs. The master take was take fourteen overdubbed on take eleven.[7] It was remixed on 21 August (mono)[7] and 29 October (stereo).[8]

A slightly longer stereo edition of the song, featuring a hi-hat percussion introduction not found on the common stereo or mono mixes was released in Germany and the Netherlands in 1965 on a compilation album entitled Beatles' Greatest.[9]

In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song. :) Enjoy!
