One of Lennon's best songs, and George gets no credit for playing the sitar.
To: DallasBiff
Why do you think that? It’s been known George played since the song came out.

I never realized the soncg had been written 100 years earlier by their great-grandfathers, Seamus Lennon and Henry McCartney.

Back then, Paul was the best singer in that group for ballads and torch songs,the kind of songs where one needed to sustain a note for a while. Just listen to “Till There Was You” or “Michelle” or the ever lovely “Here,There & Everywhere”.
To: DallasBiff
I heard Paul say recently, that the line - “..so I lit a fire..” was NOT about starting the fireplace, but rather a nasty joke - that because she made him sleep in the tub, he lit the place on fire as he left. LOL!!!

‘Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)’ demonstrated the continuing influence of Bob Dylan upon The Beatles’ music.
Dylan himself responded with ‘4th Time Around’ on 1966’s Blonde On Blonde album, which shares a similar melody and lyrical theme.

Your second link is not the Beatles. It’s a cover band.

The beauty of the song-made you think you could cuddle up with a beautiful blonde when there’s snow outside.
