George Martin, their music producer at that time, should always be given his just due. Were it not for George putting up with John’s multiple versions of this song and deciding on his own how to orchestrate before John heard the finished product, we would never have this gem. Paul’s song ‘A Long And Winding Road’ was the same. Spector (pre-murder conviction) decided to spruce it up with heave cellos and swirling choirs. Paul hated it at first, but grew to like it, as the popular version. I think George Martin still lives in foggy old England. The opening trumpets in “All You Need Is Love” Georges’ idea, so I have heard.
Domo arigato fieldhands roboto,
Domo arigato fieldhands roboto!
Until Skynet activates and they pick our joojoobs.
Someone’s knocking at the door.
