Lyrical Analysis

I did a lyrical analysis on Come Together by the Beatles. This is one of my favorite songs by the Beatles, so I really wanted to find out the meaning of the song. First, I listened to the song closely to myself while reading the lyrics, but I still did not quite understand the meaning. So I did some research on the song and I found out a lot of interesting facts about this song. So basically, every verse of the song is about a different member of the Beatles. The first verse is about Ringo Starr; the song talks about his long hair because it is different from the other three. The second verse is about George Harrison; the song talks about how George was a follower of the Yogi and how he did cocaine. The third verse talks about John Lennon; the song discusses about how he did a lot of drugs and how he played the role of a "bad boy." The fourth verse is finally about Paul McCartney; the song talks about Paul's "roller coaster" attitude which means he would want to break up and stay together. Paul had a bad attitude and a temper problem. Lastly, the chorus repeats "come together," which basically means even though all these members are quite different, they come together to play great music.

Being a fan of their music, I am glad I did a lyrical analysis on this song. I sure learned a lot more about them and they seem very interesting. They are so different and they all have different talents, but they still manage to come together to play such memorable music!
