    Lyrically I'd say Eleanor Rigby.

    The bottom of the rabbit hole, next to Alice's
    It's a song of abandon, of holding on to love long gone.

    I think it's "Please Please me" for me.

    Well, it wasn't so sad at the time, but now when I'm over 50...

    Just trying to pull a joke, of course. It's healthy to laugh.

    "For no one" has been quoted, so I will say "Baby's in black"
    you really cant say if it's in a mjor or minor key because John's (mostly) and Paul's chord changes are very confusing like only a music genius can do. The words? Oh well...they were 20 years old at the time, that's enough to feel true sadness in that masterpiece

    I’ve often wondered how Help! would’ve turned out if Lennon had his way. That song originally wasn't supposed to be an upbeat bop. I believe George Martin suggested speeding it up to give it a more commercial sound.

    "Revolution 9" from the "White Album". This supposedly describes how Paul McCartney died in a car crash and was replaced by a lookalike?
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_is_dead

    Otherwise "She's Leaving Home" from "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band".
