The Beatles Song ideas

The Beatles songwriting benefited from the fact that both John Lennon and Paul McCartney brought song ideas to their writing sessions. To generalize, John's ideas were often songs about personal experiences, sex, pain, politics, or peace. 

He frequently wrote in first person, and loved word play.

Which Beatles song is most important?

"Let It Be" is one of the Beatles' most significant and enduring songs, penned by Paul McCartney. The song's inspiration came from a dream McCartney had about his late mother, Mary, who appeared to him with reassuring words during a period of turmoil for the band.

Why are The Beatles so special?

They were one of the first rock groups to have their own production company, Apple, and to attempt to manage their own career after the death of their manager Brian Epstein. 

They also pioneered new recording techniques and ideas, forgoing live tours and performances to develop a new, more sophisticated studio sound.
