I always thought this album was a turning point in their career. They sounded different. They grew up and matured on this LP. Never again boys singing songs for little girls. This song stands on it's own.

'Girl' was the song that made me turn into a Beatles fan... Until 1966, I thought the Beatles were 'alright'... but when I first heard 'Girl' I had a sort of epiphany; suddenly I knew they were really special...

[@johnzaccardi526]

GIRL is one of their best songs. RUBBER SOUL was a landmark.

[@billmitchell3329]

In critiquing the song I would add that Paul went on holiday to Greece in September 1963 and was so affected by the culture’s music he wanted to add a Greek sounding influence to the song. George Harrison is credited with playing the Bouzouki in the bridge at the end of the song but it was actually John and George who put their capo’s so high on the guitar neck that they were able to emulate the bouzouki sound styled on the two step sound that was used in Zorba the Greek. The song is one of my favorite Beatle songs and proves the versatility of the writing style of Lennon McCartney even though the song is mostly John’s work.

Great breakdown. I have always loved ‘Girl’
The breathing showed exhilaration, pain, any man in love completely understands the many meanings of the lyrics.

[@linshanhsiang]

"Girl" is probably my favorite Beatles song. I was standing in my aunt's garden in Seattle when I heard it for the first time on the neighbor's radio. I was visiting my Seattle relatives so I could see the Beatles on their '66 tour.
It's always sounded like John's singing drags just a tiny bit, barely keeping up with the music. Maybe that's just me.
I read that George Martin said it was the first grown up song they wrote. The lyrics have such subtlety and complexity. A whole love story with all its attendant psychological ambiguity hinted at. Hell, you could make a movie based on this song!

I must admit that I found myself crying at the end of the video. Last year, I ended a 10 year relationship that I thought would never fold. It terrified me to think of living my life without her. But it's taken a year now to regroup and revamp who I am. I still miss her as a person and as a dear friend. I cherish those 10 years and look back only with lasting good memories. But I do have someone that I'm suppose to be with in this life. It's taught me to live day by day and embrace whatever good comes my direction. Thank you for reminding us that we're not alone.

Girl is a classic Lennon track,"Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure,did she understand it when they said 'that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure, will she still believe it when he's dead" brilliant lyrics,he had a great imagination, very naturally intelligent.

Love this album! The Beatles has so much friggin' talent. I'm sure other bands looked at them as if they had won the biggest lottery in the world - and kept winning.

[@Nerkin610]

So John says the words were his, based on philosophical ideas he got from a book he had read. This makes sense; it’s entirely his style. Paul can’t have contributed as much as he claims. This seems to be a pattern. Paul claims to be the composer of “In My Life”, recalling how he wrote the melody over half an hour on the Mellotron, inspired by Miracles. A mathematical analysis of the melodic progression shows that it basically can’t possibly have been anyone other than John composing it. It’s his style completely, the use of the minor chords is very specific for him. He would use a similar technique on a bunch of other songs. The Strawberry Fields Forever demos are very notably similar.

[@beatlecristian]

Can you blame Paul? In My Life is one of John’s best songs, with Imagine quite possibly being the worst.

[@Nerkin610]

Cristian Almanza I can see why he would want to make the claim, but rewriting history and taking the credit when John isn’t alive to defend his work is a low point, if done knowingly. Then again, the active, stressful and hazy years of the 60’s must’ve melted together in their minds. They all confused and forgot things that are crucial to the fans.

[@DZobe-nz7dl]

I disagree actually and im definitely more a lennon fan than mccartney but love the beatlescand have always heard this argument. So i actually gave it a go tryin to discern the two since ive listened intently for 20 years and i do think McCartney helped alot with melody but certainly lyrics are all johns. What gave it away for me was the melodic dips that paul seems to use alot more than lennon hence why hes considered the more melodic of two. Take "there are places i remember" and then listen to beginning of here there everywhere. Similar no... or the use of minor major in im looking thru you with same melodic dips like "i thought i knew you" same style. I think lennon just loved his lyrics so much he wanted the whole song to himself. Love him but gotta take everythin with a grain of salt. And srew computers.if they could determine anything bout music then it would be writing hit songs left n right

I've read that John Lennon viewed "Woman" on Double Fantasy, as a sequel to "Girl" after 15 years of more maturity and life experience (on his part).

[@LearnMusclescom]

Yes. I believe I just read that in Ken Womack’s new book. John Lennon 1980.

[@philiphalpenny9761]

I've always thought that 'Woman' was tonally similar to 'Here, There & Everywhere.

[@LearnMusclescom]

Perhaps, but here there and everywhere was a Paul song. And one of the few that John complimented directly to Paul. :)

[@philiphalpenny9761]

@@LearnMusclescom Ostensibly 'Woman' was dedicated to Yoko but musically it sounds like John was missing Paul. During the Double Fantasy sessions, John referred to 'Woman' as the 'Beatle' track. Ironic then that the track its melody resembles is one of John Beatles songs written by Paul. Same thing happened on the Band On The Run track 'Let Me Roll It'. Though they were at loggerheads, Paul stylized the track in the manner of his erstwhile colleague. Consciously or otherwise, they seemed to be signalling each other...

A few years ago a friend and I were talking about Rubber Soul/Revolver, the 2 albums that were between the touring Beatles and the studio Beatles. Rubber Soul is a bit more like the light hearted Moptops while Revolver is more serious. They are almost twins but not quite. BTW, I became of age into adulthood listening to the Beatles, I was 13 when I saw them on Ed Sullivan and was immediately drawn to their music. I sure miss John & George.

One of the best interpretations I've ever seen - and you're a great storyteller and counselor as well.....thank you!

[@fiddleandfart]

I think this interpretation/analysis is way over the top, and don't accept all those religious allusions at all. Rather it's a deeply-felt song that expresses an aching longing - something a lot of us can relate to. And I think it's a song that's drenched in life experience from John, who'd already had a hell of an emotional life by then, even though he was still young. I don't accept that he was aching for Yoko, or anyone like her then. That was still to come. He'd lived enough to have known such a love already, which is surely what this song expresses!

[@petesampras9613]

A Hard Day's Night has no covers on it and it's a great album

Yes, A Hard Days Night is so overlooked as the masterpiece it was.
