Of course, we all have our favourite songs. But I'm sure there are details in songs that really give you the thrills. Just a couple of seconds from a song that you love to hear.
For instance.
In I'm Only Sleeping, John is singing the line 'keeping an eye on the world going by my window'. I love the moment when Paul's coming in to sing the background vocals on 'going by my window'. Magical moments!
Just curious what your few seconds of awesome details are.

At the end of Revolution (single version), when John screams 'alright' several times, and the electric guitar is screeching even more than Lennon's voice!

Ringo's drumfills in A Day In The Life.

The echo of the music in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band from it being recorded in the bigger Studio 1, and the way in which Macca's 'Whoo' before the vocals start echoes so excitingly!

´Ahhhh´ in A Day In The Life. Of course that´s Paul as we all know.

Nowhere Man - 1:01 ...that "ding". Know what I mean?

Nowhere Man - 2:30 Paul joining John at the end in ´Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody´. Oh what a great song.

I love the sound of the ride cymbal in Strawberry Fields.

Paperback Writer - Paul´s bass at the start. Also can you hear the breathing just
before too? Or is it just me.


They were the most brilliant, powerful, lovable, popular group on the planet...

Pauls bass in the fade out (you can hear pretty good with the old headphones) of the song 'Magical Mystery Tour'

Ringos drum fills in 'Paperback Writer' as he ends them on the rims.

John and Paul singing at the same time (their different verses) on 'I've Got A Feeling'

The piano going up and down the keys in 'Dear Prudence' after Paul does his crazy little drum segment.

John's singing on 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' (well everything for that matter).

Pauls guitar solo in 'Taxman'

Johns guitar solo in 'Hey Bulldog'

John, Paul, and Georges guitar solo in 'the End'

George's singing and guitar playing on 'Here Comes The Sun' (I have a new appreciation for this song)

many, many, more,,,,

I love this thread!!

Here's some I can think of:

The horn parts in For No One
The way John's uses his voice in ADITL. Especially the 'news' part. And of course the aaaahhh's.
The way John sounds when he sings 'row' in I Am the Walrus and 'happiness' in HIAWG and the last 'beautiful' in Dear Prudence. Talk about chills.
The guitar intro to Revolution and Paul's scream.
Paul's voice when he sings 'his rival it seems' and 'but Daniel was hot' in Rocky Racoon and the ahhs he adds at the end of corner and revival
The 'Like You' in Love Me Do
The intros to Eight Days a Week, I've Got a Feeling, Sgt. Pepper, and Baby, You're a Rich Man. Man I love the guitar intro to Sgt. Pepper.
The transition of Polythene Pam to She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. That aww look out part and so on is just so cool!
The oh, oh, ooo, yeah at the end of WMGGW.
The ending to I Am the Walrus. The way it builds up is sooo cool. And that chooba chooba thing. What is that?? It's just so cool.

And then I agree with sever already mentioned. The guitar solo in Let It Be as well as Paul's voice in it, Paul's backing vocals in I'm Only Sleeping and Ringo's drumming in ADITL to name a few.

Actually, the entire song Let It Be gives me the chills.

I used to listen to the double a lot and I like nNo 9 'cos it's crazy ... Do/Have you know/read the theories? ... some sites ...

Magical song? Dear Prudence is bea-util-full but Across The Universe is higher ... it's easy for me to agrre here 'cos this is one of my top-10 song ...

I love the percus-sion on Guys For Sale ... Every Little Thing for example ...

The Bass+Drums section on What You're Doing ...
