Thanks for your video about "And I Love Her". I was nine years old when my mother dropped my brother and me off at the show to see "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964. All I remember from that day were the screaming girls in the theater and seeing and hearing Paul sing that song. A life defining moment for me. We didn't stay for the whole movie because the girls were out of control. That song is still, at my age of 62, very special to me. I loved the Beatles already but Paul became my favorite one. And his ballads and "granny" songs (as John referred to them) like "Your Mother Should Know" and "Honey Pie", are my favorites. I took up the guitar just so I could play and sing Paul's and also the rest of the Beatles' songs any time I felt like it. Which is all the time. They never get old!. Thanks again. Mark Strachan P.S. Try adding the c# with your pinkey on the b string, 2nd fret, making it an E6, and then the F6 when he changes keys.

Screaming girls en masse was a pain in the proverbial. Not only drowning out the music but demonstrating mass insanity. Don't agree? O K but what's the point of going to see a band if you cannot hear them? They could have just stayed home and masturbated themselves to death. Wonder if they ever woke up.

Hey TJR - I have been a subscriber for awhile now and I love this analysis. We are a huge Beatles house and my son (age 7) knows almost all their songs. I thought you did a good job summing up what makes the Beatles great in your intro. The fact that they, especially the earlier to mid stuff, sounded so simple, but their were always roots of just amazing and brilliant songwriting to put their pieces together. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this thoughtful posting! This song has been a constant in my life for many, many years - I've played it so many times, I've come to think of it as a stone I tumble over and over into an ever-deepening polish. It has long given me more than I could ever give it. You've added an even richer dimension to my appreciation of it, for which I'm grateful. There is another Beatles tune I feel similarly about, and have also played countless times - which is "Things We Said Today." I'd be thrilled if you gave it the same reflection and insight you've shared here...

Excellent dissection of Sir Paul's seminal song from so long ago. I'm not a musician and know nothing about the intricate details of any song. Like most listeners, I simply react to a song, either positively or negatively. But "And I Love Her" indicates the Beatles remarkable ability to make far more of simple grouping of chords created at a piano or guitar on a quiet night. Moreover, I am convinced that John and Paul themselves did not know what they were creating. When I first heard "She Loves You" in 1964, though I did not know music, I caught the essential energy of the song's topic.Same is true with "I Saw Her Standing There." The Beatles always placed chords and riffs that were bullseye. But I do not think they knew the impact each song was having on the world populace.

Not sure about the "time of innocence" theory either , on that same album is "You Can't Do That" a theme of betrayal and possible revenge . The D chord ending is a minor iv-1 plagal cadence where the G minor instead of being a minor ii functions as a iv of D. It's a neat switch to be sure. It sounds like a Picardy 3rd type ending .There are even more complex progressions in the intro of "If I fell" by the way .
@racine09

Another interesting thing about this song , I find . is that it goes seamlessly back into the verse from the bridge in such way that it almost seems like a continuation .My theory about the D chord is that it is pivoting to a iv of D major and so is a minor plagal cadence.Plagal cadences are iv - 1 . so the G minor is switching identities as it resolves to D. Also the sixth of F6 , the D is held over in the D major chord so there is some continuity there .

Perhaps I should be clearer . The Gminor modulates to D major by changing identity from ii of F to iv of D .

Very astute.. This was always a favorite tune.. 40 years after the fact, I went back and listened to their earliest songs and was surprised to realize how much they did with their three voices. The vocal arrangement was shifting sometimes every 4 bars. Doubling, singing a 4th below, a 3rd, or 5th above. That's how they got so much variation and interest into their live songs. Keep up the great work

Hi there. I don't think Paul actually plays double bass notes but rather the two note effect I think are harmonics with the Hofner violin bass, perhaps accentuated by Studio 2's acoustics . On the Hard Days Night film, Paul is just playing single notes too and that would seem to confirm the latter. I think on the verse the bass notes go from F sharp to E (while George plays the 4 note riff), then from F sharp up to G sharp on the line "I give her all m love". I have a Hofner bass and can confirm that it produces harmonics that sound very early Beatles! Brilliant analysis by the way! I love this song too and also find it hypnotic. Something else I would have mentioned is the brilliant syncopation that John is playing on acoustic guitar (which s typical John) that can be heard throughout and especially right before the middle 8 where he also plays with more emphasis/volume.This adds further to the overall interplay of rhythms which individually are simple but together are quite complex and wonderful! Oh yeh one other point. The song finishes on the chord of D but with an open A string on the acoustic guitar giving an even more special effect to the ending!.

A couple of other observations on this track: On the Hard Day's Night film, "And I love Her" is slowed down so that it plays a semitone lower and makes Paul's voice sound subtly different. Not sure why they did that. Also the tempo of this track is noticeably faster at the start than at the end - perhaps adding in a subtle way to the hypnotic effect?

The E chord is actually E6. Witness the arpeggio part. The same applies after the key change (F6). The introductory "melody" repeats 4 times and each time the E chord is underlying it the 6th (of E) is the last note of the repeated motif. Many soppy tunes in minor keys end on the Major rendering them extra sickly. However many classical pieces do the same and manage to be satisfyingly resolved. The final chord cleverly combines these two thematic ideas. All the videos on this song I have yet seen have failed to mention the fact that the E chord is actually E6. Strum it and see if you think it sounds OK. 6th Str Open, 5th Str Fret 2, 4th Str Fret 2 or omitted, 3rd Str Fret 1, 2nd Str Fret 2, 1st Str Open.

I always thought that "And I Love Her" was the greatest Beatles song, but then I was sixteen and in love and still am to the same lady over half a century later. I knew that from the very first time I heard the first Beatles song "Love Me Do" that they were completely different to all the other groups and markedly better. What I didn't know was that period in the early 1960's was a pinnacle of creativity in popular music and I am truly amazed I can be driving my car or shopping in a Supermarket to be stopped dead in tracks when a Beatles song gets played. What also surprises me is that despite all the technological advances and greater understanding, popular music of today is a failure compared with popular music from that period over half a century ago.

Good job! The key change was George Martin's suggestion. According to Dick James, Martin also suggested the boys add the middle eight, which lends credence to John's claim that he "contributed" the middle eight. However, the middle eight seems to have been finished in a hurry, including the lyrics since there's a change in point of view, going from third person to second person, something John would never do, and something no English teacher would allow in any composition, whether verse or prose. Perhaps John helped only with the music of the middle eight, but I think the lyrics are all Paul's. He did something similar in "Lovely Rita," resulting in poor lyrics, in my opinion. Regarding the music, I agree with your analysis. I would add that they were trying to emulate the arrangement they came up with for Till There Was You, using that Spanish "bolero" rhythm that worked really well. You're more admiring of the song than I am. I prefer other Beatle songs. That's just my two cents for whatever they're worth.

I think this song was influenced by Brian Hylands song Sealed With Kiss. It even changes key and resolves at the end in the same way with a major chord despite being in a minor key. As for who wrote what parts of the song you can never trust what Paul McCartney says he often changes things. I do feel your analysis was correct though especially the part about the Beatles didn't know the rules so they broke them without thinking about them. Sometimes this went against them though.
