Great Song.
I really find this to be a different sounding song for the Beatles, with a rather spooky feel..with great Harmonies from Mccartney/Harrison.
I feel Yes it is, shares the same feeling and structure to This Boy.although the former offers a more dark-natured listen.


Whats the matter lads? Blue Meanies?

Lovely song.

John says " That's me trying a rewrite of THIS BOY, but it didn't work".


It works for us, Johnny!


John: You're just a lonely old man from Liverpool.
Grandfather: But I'm clean!
John: Are ya?

Yea, I do remember reading somewhere that he wasn't too pleased with Yes It Is.  It ran off the same chord changes, or at least similar chord changes, to This Boy.

Personally, I think it's great, but This Boy is superior IMO.

actuallly, it was volume pedal......not a wah-wah........

Great song, great chord changes, great harmonies and in case no one noticed, the last 4 guitar notes (using a volume pedal....probably an ernie ball volume pedal) were a blatant ripoff of a passage from Sleepwalk, by Santos and Johnny.

"When I Get Home" is a song that never even gets mentioned! Has to be one of the best sung songs ever for John!

When I Get Home is one of my favourite songs on the AHDN album.

About Yes It Is: I love that song! It does sound like This Boy but it's better. The Anthology version is good too.
