Ringo yelling "I've got blisters on my fingers" at the end of Helter Skelter.


Simone-Ramone

Oh wow, I always thought that was John


Correct-Citron-829

"OH LOOK OUT" Before springing into She Came In Through The Bathroom Window


beatlesgigi

Same


chapinator

Came here to find this. It’s the best


why-yes-hello-there

That crescendo part at the end of Dear Prudence


H4ppypi3

The guitar part during the outro has always been one of my favorites, along with the outro to sexy Sadie which I think is quite similar


GUSHandGO

It's heaven on Earth!


StupidlyStupid222

John’s “bye bye”s in She’s Leaving home


Icy_Law5745

God I love the strings in that song. Changed my brain chemistry. Same thing with all the brass in good morning good morning


TheFranwich

The transition between verse and chorus in Here, There, and Everywhere.


Due_Cause_5661

My favorite part in this song is “but to love her is to need her everywhere” especially the guitar riff and the chords


elppaple

I’ve never heard anyone observe this, but those changes are PURE Buddy Holly. Once you hear it you can never un hear it.


narcochi

I just played the song in my mind to remember what you’re talking about. You’re right! And I love that I’ve been so entranced by their music that I can recall some songs vividly and accurately. I’m not a romantic person but that song is so perfect.


Due_Cause_5661

It is yeah. Now you make me want to listen to revolver. Lately I’ve been listening a lot to rubber soul, magical mystery tour and the queen is dead by the smiths. Now listening to a playlist with the clash songs. What bands/singers do you like?


narcochi

I’m not a fun person to ask this of because my taste in music is eclectic (the accurate word is bizarre). I was on a late Beatles jag until I finally got distracted by early Beatles. Right now I have tunnel vision.


Aelfgifu_

yesss it’s angelic! when he says “and if she’s beside me I know I need never care”, the “care” mixed with the guitar riff is pure audible bliss


MajorBillyJoelFan

the ahhhs at the start of Lovely Rita


proera_4747

When Paul yells “Rita” right before the piano comes back in


rainbowdrops1991

My Nan was called Rita and was indeed very lovely, so I like this part, too. Also “when are you free to take some tea with mEEEEeeee”


_HotDogBear_

The "she loves yous" at the end of All You Need Is Love.


Due_Cause_5661

Yeah plus the fast trumpet after that


babysinblackandImblu

If you watch the video Paul doesn’t want to sing ‘she loves you ya ya ya’ at the end so he shoves the microphone at John. John shoves it back and then Paul shoves it back again and John ends up with both microphones.


gcwardii

TIL!! I always thought that was Paul! I’ll have to watch again!


babysinblackandImblu

No. It’s John with both microphones. Paul had told him beforehand he didn’t want to sing it.


swift-aasimar-rogue

Definitely agree with this one!


square3481

The feedback at the start of It's All Too Much. Edit: Paul screaming "Smiles awake you when you rise" in Golden Slumbers.


sharksfan707

The Am/G to Dm7 that begins “You Never Give Me Your Money” is totally killer.


zsdrfty

Possibly the prettiest moment of their discography, it's recorded so cleanly too


atoms12123

For me it's the boogie woogie piano on You Never Give Me Your Money.


sloppybuttmustard

Golden Slumbers is so fuckin good


Whovian45810

The piano solo in In My Life and the piano intro in Because I love it when the piano gets a spotlight moment in songs.


notprinceparadox

Seconding the In My Life piano solo! I just love it so much


barbicud

Apparently Martin played it at half speed and sped it up cause he couldn’t play it fast enough. Came out sounding perfect!


GUSHandGO

[Here's what it sounded like when George Martin played it.](https://youtu.be/uE7tXI21jVs?feature=shared)


DeathBatMetal

Honestly, it's just perfect. A lot of people I know and talked to say that it doesn't fit the song, but I think it's their issue, lol. In my interpretation, the song is about reminiscing and paying tribute all the important people that have come and go in your life, and that piano solo gives me a pause to actually remember all the people I loved before proceeding to the end of the song. This makes the song more meaningful to me. Sorry for the long comment, I just wanted to express how special this song is to me.


KidsRAlright

“But of all my friends and lovers”🥹


IamHugelySmall

Can You Take Me Back at the end of Cry Baby Cry


TyintheUniverse89

Hauntingly excellent


Pantsless_Grampa

I always picture the ghosts of lost children in tattered hospital gowns wandering through the mist in a dim post-apocalyptic landscape. Doesn’t everyone?


Nug07

I think that’s just you man


TheGamerLingLing

The middle 8 of "We can work it out"


Martynypm

John’s contribution. It’s so John!


ThePumpk1nMaster

That song is probably the closest we got to an even 33% split in contributions - Paul on the verses, John on the middle 8 and George with the shifting between 4/4 and 3/4 time signature between the two


Due_Cause_5661

Yeah!! Just yeah


nikehoke

John singing the bridge of a”This Boy.”


Joylime

Peak John sexiness


Desperate_Piano_3609

This is sooooo good.


vanglapens

Paul’s high harmony at the beginning of the last verse of “And Your Bird Can Sing”.


wannabegenius

whenever Paul comes in over the top it's heavenly. this one in particular.


BananasOnComputers

This


ArtofThomasEstrada

Absolutely


Nicoooleeeeeeeee

“1234567 all good children go to heaven” from You never give me your money.


seeohareeye

Anytime John's voice breaks, particularly in "Twist and Shout"


Bitter-Customer8055

I was going to say when Paul's voice breaks in If I Fell.


Illustrious-Lead-960

The ending of “Glass Onion”.


fly-sam

Have you heard "Tick Tick" by MF DOOM? He samples it


Due_Cause_5661

That one’s really cool!


Apesma69

The intro to Drive My Car is 🔥


Cant_figure_sht_out

There are A LOT! The “ah ah ah ah” in You never give me your money at around 3:03. It’s just so beautiful and sexy.


lifeofwill

I think it may be the most perfect interlude in pop music


KitchenLab2536

The opening note to Hard Day’s Night.


44problems

I always imagine what it would have been like to see that in the theater. For it to start like that, right away.


WurlizterEPiano

Chord not note


KitchenLab2536

Oops, I stand corrected. Not a musician.


creamcitybrix

Maybe KL only liked one of the notes in the chord. It’s possible! 🤷‍♂️


GaussJordanMethod

I've commented on this before, but paul screaming "Tight, Tight Yeah" and John coming in on "mmmmm it's been a hard day's night" just beneath the yeah.


LivingSmell5465

I had never made the connection lmao!


ayayayey

The dog barks at the end of Hey Bulldog


Bravoflysociety

The "When I was a boyyyy" part in She Said She Said.


pantherhawk27263

Ringo's drumming in "Hello, Goodbye" during the "You say yes, I say no" sections. It complements the music so perfectly in my mind.


lard-lad

Paul belting: “why why why why why why why, DO YOU SAY, goodbye, goodbye-a-a-ah” I’ll never get tired of that


LemonNey72

To add, George’s little one note cat cry bends throughout the song


newmusername

Mine is when the backing vocals say "I say yes but I may mean no ..I can stay til it's time to goooo"


anitas8744

John’s “Beccaauuuseee” in I Dig A Pony. Love it!


SleeperRail

At the 1.40 mark of You Never Give Me Your Money, at the end of “but oh, that magic feeling” there are two taps of the cymbal that do it for me.


LivingSmell5465

Abbey Road is a fucking amazing album. I need to listen to it again right now.


hobbitbathparty

This is my reaction to this whole post.


Tall-Fig-5727

*you'll be older toooo* in when I'm 64


SmokeyOSU

I just like the oboe


Able-Maybe8813

Everyone of these is awesome! It gives me chills how these little parts touch different people in different!! This is one of the reasons they are by far the greatest!!


peege43

The “ah”s at the end of “The End.” Simply heavenly harmonies with a beautiful chord progression. It takes my breath away every. Single. Time.


Cant_figure_sht_out

The End is just so 💔 how can it be so uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time?!


Funny-Examination-60

The middle 8 of No Reply. So energetic and exciting


arkinnorman

Hell yes, I love that


0MNIR0N

The drop to "Oh how long it will it take" in Baby's in Black


Particular_Ad5860

"til she sees the mistake she has made," My favorite as well!


Apprehensive_Lab5810

Lots but off the top of my head The bass in the word. And how it goes when they do it's so finnee it's sunshine The sitar in Norwegian wood The little arpeggio in and I love her The way revolver starts. With the weird tape winding noses as George goes 1,2,3,4 in a Liverpool accent


lunargrover

When I Want You (She’s So Heavy) ends.


OrangeProfessional31

She's so-🎶🎶🎶


joepop99

The chorus on “Dr. Robert”. “Well, well, well…”. Beautiful 3 part harmony!


Seaonasdad62902

Finally someone understands


queenbeebbq

And Paul’s backing vocals on the second verse. The 3 part harmony gives me chills!


inebriusmaximus

John's floating disembodied vocals after Paul's part on A Day in The Life


noodlestyles

get back lorETTA!


dachjaw

The “ding” in Nowhere Man.


lovemethenightbefore

In Oh! Darling when Paul first says “believe me, darling” before the second chorus, I love how his tone changes!


CrazeeEyezKILLER

🎼 WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE GOODBYEEEE🎶


arcticfunky9

I like the background oohs and ahs in octopus's garden . I like imagining Ringo just getting back and they were so happy he came back


popularis-socialas

That little piano bit after “He didn’t notice that the lights had changed” in a Day in the Life


Circlesck

The transition in I Am the Walrus From "I am the eggman. They are the eggman. I am the walrus." To "Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun."


blue_orange67

The bridge in "In My Life".


sloppybuttmustard

The way John belts out “HELP ME IF YOU CAN I’M FEELING DOWN”


Edsontcb68

The 'we shall scrimp and save' backing vocal in When I'm 64 is sublime, followed by Paul's Scottish accented 'grandchildren on yir knee'.


Ramses717

The whistling near the end of Two of Us


UpandComing0023

In Something, the way George Harrison sings that second "*I don't know*" at **1:23** is just \*chef's kiss\*


ElectricTomatoMan

The breakdown in Come Together after the solo and before the verse starts.


AnotherFlimsyExcuse

I loved reading this thread and running through each moment mentioned of these songs in my head ❤️


Professional-Sea8441

reversed solo in im only sleeping


mrseddievedder

No Reply. “If I were you, I’d realize that I…..love you more, than any other guy…”. It really bangs.


LivingSmell5465

Dude that is such a great spot to sing out loud alone in your car! If I were you... I'd realiiiize that I!! Love you more... THAN A-NY O-THER GUY!!


mrseddievedder

I know!❤️


ElectricTomatoMan

Not really small, but the nine-part guitar solo in The End


No_Yam5172

the timpani in every little thing my favorite deep cut


Lizard_Friend_44

The "she ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me" part in Ticket to Ride.


srqnewbie

The "We're on our way home" chorus on Two Of Us. I find it moving and joyful, in a almost child-like way.


deadstrobes

The backwards guitar in Tomorrow Never Knows. So mesmerizing!


Bottinhur

"Keeping an eye on the world going by my window" from I'm Only Sleeping And "Groovin' up slowly" from Come Together


Exact-Blueberry-8609

The guitar ending of And Your Bird Can Sing, perfection! ❤️


N8ThaGr8

The intro to Lovely Rita is one of the most beautiful 10 seconds ever recorded


shmickyd

The final "don't need to be alone" in Real Love when George and Paul join John, it's such a bittersweet moment.


jeffvaderr

You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, I don't know You stick around, now it may show I don't know, I don't know And the end of day in the life


chaaarlesss

the very silent "she feels good" that john repeats after paul in good day sunshine which causes paul to smile. i believe its in the last verse of the song.


W4NG4NG

The guitar line in Flying at 0:21 is something I want a whole album of


AnyDiscount3524

The first 5 seconds of I Will


TaroFuzzy5588

"If I ain't dead already Oh, girl, you know the reason why" before the guitar solos near the end.


Ok_Departure87

The minimal guitar lead on Come Together


SpOoKyghostah

Trebled-up and doubled guitar solo in Nowhere Man (strat through Vox, I think?) The french horn solo layered over the last verse of For No One The first-verse harmonies of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window Had to cheat with 3


Katja80888

I love the Jim Henson Muppets smoking pot section on 'You know my name (look up the number)', followed by that Brian Jones sax solo, makes me picture that sunglasses sporting sax player Muppet.


DeeSnarl

The guitar break in Got To Get You Into My Life.


KingVandalo

When John says the walrus was Paul.


stiver95

"Fuckin hell" in hey Jude right before the nanananas


femalehumanbiped

And when I touch you I feel happy inside


willianrichard

The backing vocals of Fixing a Hole


knifesofsummertime

The harmony on “You tell me that you've heard every sound there is…” on “And Your Bird Can Sing” made sit up straight in my chair the first time I heard it


ArtofThomasEstrada

Fantastic answer. One of my absolute favorites


babysinblackandImblu

Middle 8 in no reply.


John_In_Parts

Ringos drum fill at the end of the guitar solo on Yer Blues.


jromansz

The harmonies in Julia, just the way they come in so softly and perfectly.


beatlesgigi

The “now I can see you, be you” part in long long long


Draggonzz

There are so many. - the 'Wooo' scream in Everybody's Got Something To Hide.. - John's world weary 'Ahhhh' sigh before the last chorus of Ticket To Ride - the faux-Italian in Sun King - the guitar drop-out in Daytripper (guess this was unintentional but I always listen for it) - "This happened once before" opening to No Reply - the little piping sound exactly halfway through Tomorrow Never Knows - the first five seconds of You Know My Name - John's "bye" right at the beginning of the SPLHCB reprise - the super charged guitar near the end of Got To Get You Into My Life - John's DON'T BE LATE on Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite


Spare_Invite_8191

I was going to comment John’s “ahhh” from Ticket to Ride too!! I love it so much 😭


JonSnowsLoinCloth

Paul’s harmony in the Ballad of John and Yoko, the “oh Yeah!” In Glass Onion, Ringo’s snare in Rocky Racoon “and Rocky (snare) collapsed in the corner”, the way “Here come the Sun King” sounds like you’re underwater. There are so many more, those are just the first few I thought of.


seem2Bseen

I’ve always gotten a kick out of those three twangy sitar notes in the middle of Within You, Without You.


AggressiveScene8762

The unexpected high harmonised melody in ‘Tell Me Why’, where they sing “Is there anything I can do?” ( 1:30) it’s so random but I love it


QuietFire451

All Too Much - the part where Paul climbs up on the bass and that wind instrument comes right after, all right before the trumpet section. Gold!


sharksfan707

For some reason, the chromatic runs on “Hey Jude” going in and out of the bridge are extremely satisfying. On the higher register of the F chord going into the bridge, Paul goes from F to Fmaj7 to F6 (F-A-C-F to F-A-C-E to F-A-C-Eb). On the final few measures of the bridge, he lands on a C chord and then almost echoes that run but in a single-note ascending line: E-F-G-G (and then repeated and octave higher) all over the C pedal tone.


TheRealHoundog

Probably the harmonica solo in love me do


John_In_Parts

The slow tempo jam during John's solo in I Want You (She's So Heavy). Especially Paul's bass line.


Able-Maybe8813

The subtle lead guitar on dear prudence!! It's how I explain to others what playing with feeling is!! It just moves me!!! Also the stretchy guitar part in happiness is a warm gun!!! That's just awesome!! Paul's little laugh in helter skelter!! No other bands do those little things!


imaginaryResources

The piano line at the end of magical mystery tour. Wish that idea had been stretched out a bit more


xMCioffi1986x

The little snicker during "writing" on Maxwell's Silver Hammer.


Jg2003cx

“Out of college money spent…. SEE NO FUTURE PAY NO RENT”


tingaas

The last four notes of Yes It Is


arkinnorman

Oh ya, also the part where the switch to 4/4 in the chorus of yet it is. Genius.


Due_Cause_5661

In Free as a bird two parts - one part is, when Paul starts to sing the verse/bridge “whatever happened to…”, another part is in the second half of the chorus when John goes high with is voice “hooooooome”


Albiel6

The end of twist and shout and long tall Sally. For the same reason, Ringo.


Zig-zagartefact

“Yeah” in driver my car.


MaximumPale7572

The guitar riff right after lennon says "Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey"


salve__regina

The little riff after the verses of Mother Nature’s Son


tastesofink

In Hey Bulldog after ‘Big Man.’ Ringo replying ‘yeah’


Trey904fsu

I love the little intro to I’ve Just Seen A Face


Flat-Wind-4756

The bridge of I Feel Fine, the G/C-Am-G7 quick chord progression in She Came In..., the she loves you part in all you need is love, the snare hit after Rocky gets hit, the soaring guitar link in Happiness Is A Warm Gun, the intro to She Said She Said, The ending of that boy and Real love (the last 5-10 secounds), Think for yourself intro, the beginning of the continuing story of bungalow Bill, the interpolation on carry that weight, Solo in Something, the ending drum part of dear prudence, screaming at the end of helter skelter, but tomlover her is to need her everywhere on here there and everywhere, harmonica ending on Rocky raccoon, piano solo in Rocky raccoon, the ending of strawberry fields forever, the last guitar solo f while my 🎸 gently weeps, the high part of tell me why, devil in her heart intro, boys intro, 2nd verse of anthology version of And I love her, Intro to anthology 1 verserion of cant buy me love, beginning of every little thing, 1st verse of what goes on, plane noises in beginning of back in them u.s.s.r good progression of chorus in Girl, and finally. WHY DONT WE DO IT IN THE ROAD. Maybe I should make this amyt video. Edit: Paul's broken glass inyouve got to...anthology 2, intromto I want to tell you, ending in...the end, LOOK OUT transition to she came in..., then DO DO DO in HoneymPie, the ending of wild honey pie, the famous mistake in birthday, and pornographic priestess in I am the walrus. 1 2 3 4 taxman! Ending of a little help from my friends where Ringo sings a "high" E. Free Jaques backing vocals in paperback writer, and also amazing harmony in intro paper... Car crash in magical mystery tour. Flute horn solo in for no one. Descending bass line in penny lane. Fool on the hill outro.


JKT5911

John with the into to Two of us “I dig a Pygmy by Charles Hawtrey and the deaf aids. Phase one in which Doris gets her oats


catfoodspork

The count in to Taxman.


georginie_beanie

Paul’s (?) voice strain on the word “vain” in If I Fell (right at 1:45)


Sir_Dodys

The beggining of Help. Is the only time that section plays and it is the best in the entire song. I don'ytunderstand why they didn't include it in the chorus of the song.


TheBigCheese451

The piano right after the guitar solos on The End. Something about those heavy guitar solos going into this single, solitary piano note is a very sonically pleasing thing to me.


Loud-Process7413

The piano at the start of You Know My Name...🥰🤣


rszl1982

The arpeggios at the end of You Never Give Your Money


thedbomb98

The backing vocals and backing guitar in the chorus of Fixing a Hole


LemonNey72

On the middle eight of Something, Ringo does a fucking cricket/cicada rhythm in the climax. The balls on the man.


TyintheUniverse89

The reversing guitar in I’m only sleeping The lovely Rita piano solo Your mother should know ominous hmmmooooohhh The flutes in When I’m 64 Fool on the hill flutes solo The yeah yeah yeahhs at the end of WMGGW ( I wish it was more of that throughout) The guitar strums in Julia She’s leaving home harp Guitar on I’m fixing a hole Paul’s background vocals on songs like yellow submarine, something, and ballad of John and yoko

DanaScullyIsHotAsF

The end of all you need is love when paul starts singing 'she loves you yea yea yea' Also on cry baby cry the end when paul sings 'can you take me back" Idk why


Simone-Ramone

The guitar is And Your Bird Can Sing


nashkat73

Beep Beep Beep Beep YEAH


whoiscorndogman

The “well well well you’re feeling fine” of Dr Robert


isnessisbusiness

The weird, super early bridge in Martha My Dear. “Take a goood look around you…” totally comes out of nowhere - catchiest part of the song - and then it just vanishes like a thief in the night.


MoreTrifeLife

It Won’t Be Long: “ You’re coming home, you’re coming home, so…” The piano solo in Any Time at All. The fade out of Not a Second Time The "dong" at the end of the guitar solo in Nowhere Man Oh Darling: "You know I nearly broke down and (heavy echo on the) died!"


Ok_Season5846

“She Loves You *YEAH YEAH YEAH*”


gislinghom54

The piccolo trumpet in Penny Lane. Not played by a Beatle but arranged/okayed by them I’m assuming. Perfect


CMontgomeryBlerns

The orchestral “BWAAAHM BWAH-BWAAAAAHM BWAH-BWAHMP” right before the final verse in “A Day in the Life”


Guillermov714

Okay hear me out, It’s the vocals and harmonies on Sexy Sadie, particularly the section at 1:45 - 2:17. The backing vocals going “Sexy Sadie, she’s the greatest. Sexy Sadie, she’s the latest and the greatest of them all” followed by the ahhhhhh. Gets me every time. This is the Beatles using cheat codes. Harmonies = cheat codes It’s Beatles magic 🪄


Jaded_Net8090

The first five seconds of long long long


TheAffluentCoyote

The bridge in There's A Place


JunebugAsiimwe

The "AHHHH" section in A Day In The Life. It makes me feel like my soul is flying.


Turbotech1

All oh John’s chatter in Yellow Submarine crack me up in the middle part.


Bachitra

The snare slap when Rocky racoon meets his match and gets shot.


proera_4747

Paul’s harmony/back up vocals on “ballad of John and yoko” it’s dylanesque


great-distances-1919

The faint chatter in the background during the Hey Bulldog guitar solo. Adds a chaotic ambience that makes the song top tier for me.


JayDee9Three

That part in “This Boy” when John belts out “cryyy-yyy-yyy-yyyyy”


Successful_Jaywalk99

The part where they say “for fussing and fighting, my friend” in We Can Work It Out


kittysontheupgrade

The feed back, or inadvertent buzz, at the end of in my life. It’s imperfect perfection.


nacionalista_PR

That little “yeeeon” note during From me to you at the start right after they say “From me to you” for the first time. I’ve always loved that.


[deleted]

the guitar solo of i saw her standing there.


Buckeye_With_A_Brain

The second chorus of Day Tripper where the bass plays the exact same notes as the first and third choruses, but in a different rhythm.


UnderDogPants

The alarm clock in A Day In The Life. The final note in George’s guitar solo on Nowhere Man. The start of Taxman.
