Summary
On this Beatles podcast, Note by Note goes deep on Yes It Is and why it lands like a private confession. We explore the emotional core, the craft behind the recording, and how this B-side fits into the bigger "cry for help" thread. We cover: -Storytime: Peter and Kenyon band history and origin story -Comparisons: Yes It Is next to This Boy and the A-side Ticket To Ride -Recording details: how the session evolved, including choices around vocals and takes -Music theory: harmony and chord movement, with a focus on why the chorus feels so intense ]-Sound and texture: George’s volume pedal and how production shapes the mood Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
