What happens when a Beatles deep cut reveals more than you ever expected? In this episode, we dive into "Any Time At All"—a song John Lennon once called a rewrite of “It Won’t Be Long,” but that reveals itself to be something far deeper. We unravel the mystery of a scrapped middle eight, dissect lost verses from a rare lyric sheet, and uncover what may be Lennon’s first true “friendship” song—an empathetic anthem as intimate as it is explosive. From studio experiments to emotional authenticity, from fight songs to friendship, this track becomes a turning point in how The Beatles connect with their audience. Plus: piano capos, White Elephants, and our theory that John meant every single word. Whether you love A Hard Day’s Night or are just discovering its hidden corners, this is a revealing ride into Beatles songwriting at a pivotal moment. As always, we end with our honest impressions and a surprising rating.Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
