Beatles Songs in 3/4 Time
« on: April 13, 2008, 02:42:38 PM »
"Norweigan Time" is in 3/4 time, right? Are most Beatles songs in 4/4 time? I had a hard time finding another example of a song in 3/4 or 6/8 time. Maybe there are a few, but they seem to be in the very tiny minority:

Norweigan Wood
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
She's Leaving Home
Good Night (?)

Any other songs in interesting, non-standard times? "All You Need Is Love" has always felt like it was missing a beat.

Welcome Snoozealarm,
There are many in odd time signatures and songs with more than one..try Happiness is A Warm Gun for a start, All you Need I s Love is in 3/4 then 4/4, A Day in the Life, Abbey Rd Medley etc etc

A 6/8 feel straight to mind is This Boy.

When I think about 3/4 I think of the Waltz and that immediately brings John&Yoko in Let It Be to my mind, waltzing on I Me Mine.
