If we're including songs by solo Beatles, Mother from Plastic Ono Band is pretty bleak:

 

That was my first pick, but then I went to Carry That Weight but then I just said fuck it and Im going with 'The End', because it was literally the end of it all. Side 2 of Abbey Road is just fucking magnificent. (Side 1 too hah)

 

She's Leaving Home.

Poignant.

 

JK lol

 

who the fuck would even listen to Pink Floyd when there is things like Canterbury Scene? Goddamn guys, you must've all lost your hearing or smth...

 

"the songwwriting secretsof the beatles'' by dominic pedler

very deep. imo, you can pretty much use it as a bible for songwriting chord work, melodies and vocal harmony.

my vote would be 'for no one' an ''she's leaving home'. ''girl'' has a type of sad

what did Canterbury Scene sell, like 7 records? Pink Floyd's album sales charted for multiple decades, somebody liked them..

 

Yellow Submarine is easily the saddest song. Who the fuck wants to live in a submarine?

 

If you'd ask western jumping jacks, its gotta be 'Back in the USSR'

 

Don't Bother Me ... Since she's been gone, I want no one to talk to me, It's not the same but I'm to blame it's plain to see
I Need You... You don't want my lovin' anymore, That's when it hurt me, And feeling like this, I just can't go on anymore
I'm a Loser ... Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown, My tears are falling like rain from the sky, Is it for her or myself that I cry?
Nowhere Man ... Doesn't have a point of view, Knows not where he's going to, Isn't he a bit like you and me?
... agree with: Yesterday, If I Fell, She's Leaving Home, Eleanor Rigby, JL's Mother, For No One

there are quotes by George Martin: Paul wanted a french horn solo, so he just sung it and I transcribed and arranged it
