Which Beatles song is the longest?
Answer:
“Hey Jude” stands out as one of The Beatles’ longest single releases, clocking in at over seven minutes. Released in 1968, the song was written by Paul McCartney, with its extended coda featuring the repeated “na-na-na” making it memorable. This extended outro was somewhat unconventional at the time, especially for a pop song, but it’s now celebrated as one of the hallmarks of the song.
The Beatles – Quick Facts
George’s “Lost” Guitar Solo: When The Beatles were recording “Here Comes the Sun” for the “Abbey Road” album (released in 1969), George Harrison recorded a guitar solo that didn’t make the final cut. This lost solo was discovered decades later during a visit to Abbey Road Studios by Harrison’s son, Dhani, producer George Martin, and his son Giles. They stumbled upon the solo while playing with the original multi-track recordings. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the band’s recording process and the choices they made.
“All You Need Is Love” Broadcast: On June 25, 1967, The Beatles performed “All You Need Is Love” live as part of the world’s first live satellite broadcast called “Our World.” An estimated 400 million people across five continents tuned in to watch. The message of the song was universal and perfectly suited the occasion. This event was emblematic of the “Summer of Love” and The Beatles’ central role in the global counterculture movement.
