Why 'Don't Let Me Down' Is the Whole Beatles Story in One Song

totally, defiantly, shamelessly corny, because it’s a confession of how he needs his fellow Beatles as much as he needs Yoko. That’s why “Don’t Let Me Down” is the heart ofSo why wasn’t it on the original album? Good question. Nobody knows why Phil Spector made that call, but even by Spector standards, it’s bizarre. There was plenty of room on a 35-minute LP, even with filler like “Dig It” or “I Me Mine.

But the song really took off when they moved the sessions to Apple. Their first day there, George bumped into keyboardist Billy Preston in the lobby, and recruited him on the spot. Billy jammed with the band all afternoon, raising everyone’s spirits. “Don’t Let Me Down” was the very first song he played with them. When John called for a solo — “take it!” — Preston added his distinctive electric keyboards, while John did some Martin Luther King-inspired preaching.

The same kind of dialogue is going on in “Oh! Darling,” one of the box’s best outtakes. Paul and John turn it into a doo-wop duet, playing off each other, making a fond joke out of their call-and-response. When Paul wails, “Believe me when I tell you,” John yells, “Oh, I do!” They turn it into a celebration of their personal and musical history — always linked for these two. It was easier to share these affectionate moments in a song.

This song has frequently been in the top slot in my personal ever-rotating list of best Beatles songs. Nothing beats the original stereo mix from the 2009 Past Masters. Except for background vocals, I think it was all captured live, including lead vocals, which is extraordinary

It’s the whole human story in one title, I guess .. ♥️

better than the original, thank me later ✌🏻

So, is Rolling Stone going to go bust this year?

😢 beautiful

Nice piece sort of almost beginning to try to correct the grand injustice perpetrated by Jann Wenner against The Beatles and specifically Paul McCartney. He’s still around. If he had any dignity left -assuming he had any in 1970-, this’d be a good time to show it LGSrock101

Great song, but this story seems manufactured. And saying the remix 'sounds realer than ever.' What does that even mean?

This is what Rolling Stone should do - stick to music.

Yikes.

So when he says “I’m in love for the 1st time”, is he basically admitting that he didn’t love Cynthia, even though he married her?

I'm very excited about the start on Nov. 25th and glad that Let It Be only donates the title. I've always wondered why the more beatleesque song Don't Let Me Down was on the B-side of the single.

But was a song to yokoono but sure Rob knows 🤦‍♂️
