What about this one?!

Dmitry:  Yes, those two songs seem similar.  It's something to do with the overall pattern.  There's also a bouncy swaying-back-and-forth quality to the singing.

I am amazed at how the Beatles wrote songs like these.  They're not simple tunes conjured forth by strumming on a guitar or by spontaneously humming to yourself in an idle moment.

There's an amazing structure to these and a way in which the song evolves and develops.  It's like watching something grow into a complex shape.  I still ask repeatedly:  How did they do this?

That, to me, is part of the Beatles' magic.

Agree.
And not without purpose they say that the Beatles influenced the development of music. I hear the influence of the Beatles on so many bands that released albums in the 70's, 80's... until nowadays.
