That is the last song on American Beauty, which received a lot of airplay in the Shelton cave many, many moons ago.

I reckon i was on that train about 2 months after they {Graham Nash} were. I was on the midnight train Booked first class ,figured I would be on my own, and could get asleep ended up talking to yank all night Was supposed to be in Marrakesh for 2 minutes to get a train to the coast .Ended up staying for 3 days if you know what I mean.

That song still sounds about thirty years ahead of its time to me.

Edit: lol. And I’ve just figured out why. Setting Sun.

Another take richer darker bass & drums

To me it’s always been, and still is, the most boring thing they ever did, with the most meaningless lyrics. Revolution No. 9 excepted, of course.

I’ll give you the entirety of Beatles For Sale for that honour.

If you can’t get excited about the drumming, the sonic feel and loop-like qualities that are revolutionary for its time and still sound fresh today, quite apart from the lyrics, that’s fine.
I guess it’s just not for you.

Edit: What’s truly insane is that Revolver was released less than two years after Beatles For Sale.
When people judge The Beatles (harshly) they never take the timeframe into account.
Oh, this band did this or that better…
Fine. Pretty much the entire Beatles catalogue was recorded within SEVEN YEARS.

Shelton10 · September 28, 2020, 10:37pm

Beatles for Sale is very raw and barely out of their Cavern Club days, but it’s still got some pretty good songs on it.

I’ll grant you the drums and other sound effects, but I can’t forgive the almost complete absence of melody and the absolute absence of lyrical meaning.

shrugs
I think the tune in, turn on, drop out lyrics have plenty of meaning.
And…yes, the melody…that’s part of the attraction for me.
It’s one chord.
And I know I’m being repetitive but I hear a lot of much later music genres in it. Trance, EDM, etc.
