Song Of The Week - Wait
Klang:
Great energy, very original. Again, I think they were at their best at that period.

One of the gems in the catalogue and all the better for being underplayed when compared to, say, 'Drive My Car' or (the rather over-rated) 'In My Life'.
Would have made a fantastic Beatles b-side, and yet any R&B/Mod group c.65/66 would have killed to have it as an a-side.

I think the thing about 'Wait' is its one of those un commercial but incredibly interesting songs they wrote, Ask Me Why, Not A Second Time, PS I Love You, I'll Be Back etc I love all these songs, they are musically very interesting and kind of solemn and serious, showing a introspective side to Lennon & McCartney......Wait fit the mood of Rubber Soul so well, it was a well crafted LP and these songs were well crafted, all of them.
Dcazz:
Never really liked it much. IMO wrong for Rubber Soul. With it's less mature lyrics it belongs on an earlier album or given to another artist. It was used as a filler anyway as they were down to their Christmas deadline so they fixed it and stuck it in to make the 14 songs for the album.

I actually like Wait. First Beatle tune that I really tried to learn spot on with the drums. Its not a great song by any stretch, but I enjoy it for some reason.
