    It's only love and that is all
    Why should I feel the way I do?
    It's only love and that is all
    But it's so hard loving you
    Is it right that you and I should fight, every night?
    Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, very bright
    Haven't I the right to make it up, girl?
    It's only love and that is all
    Why should I feel the way I do?
    It's only love and that is all
    But it's so hard loving you
    Yes, it's so hard loving you
    Loving you

    Love that Fender Strats that was given to John and George, a special limited edition from ´62 I think, the color and fretboard looks great, I know George painted his, but I didn´t see John with that guitar out of that short period, then he used his Epi Casino (then stripped). It´s weird they almost always used the bridge pickup , I think they needed to cut into the mix after overdubs and reductions. Maybe a Telecaster would have been a better option for them, but imagine a Strat more than 50 years ago, there must have been like something out of this world. Do you know if they used a wounded G string or a plain one ? Great work as always. A surprise, the use of Bigsby as an almost constant vibrato efect. They were special no doubt

      Any chance you will be doing the Beatles Second album? I'd like to hear you do Thank You Girl. That has one of the best outros from the early years. Ringo snare to tom fill and Georges cha cha cha guitar sound at the end when John sings Oh Oh Oh. It blows me away.

This song was one of the ones that set the entire mood of the US version of the album. Fantastic job getting all the parts perfect. I enjoy listening to and watching your version very much.

    If I were to make my own mix of this, the only thing I would adjust would be slightly more tambourine. If you grew up listening to the American version of "Rubber Soul", it and songs of that Beatle period such as "We Can Work It Out", are characterized by an abundance of tambourine. Some of us even referred to it as "The tambourine era" back when it was happening. "We Can Work It Out" should definitely have been on the album.

Since I grew up with this being on Rubber Soul, it has always seemed to me to fit that album more than "Help". "Rubber Soul" was the home to tambourine songs, such as this one. Anyway, your rendition is perfect and it is nice to watch and listen. I appreciate your work very much.
