~ Beatle Break - Another Girl ~ Beatle Break is winding down to its conclusion in the next month or so.. Ive already posted over 150 of the Beatles 212 songs since Beatle Break debuted in the middle of June, 2013.. My goal here is to post every single one of those 212 songs..Everybody knows at least 50-100 of the famous Beatles songs... The less known, obscure tunes are just as good.... Another Girl is a song by the Beatles released in 1965 on the album Help! and included in the film of the same name. The song was written by Paul McCartney but credited to Lennon–McCartney...McCartney wrote the song while holidaying in Hammamet, a resort in Tunisia... With an up-tempo swing-beat that the writer favoured (Cant Buy Me Love, Shes a Woman) the song opens with a short refrain, powered by block vocal harmonies, that segues straight into the verse, which is constructed on the blues-mode chord changes the group currently favoured. The bridge theme makes a sudden key change up a minor third from A to C (a harmonic strategy also used on the records next track Youre Going to Lose That Girl) and features more close three-part harmonies as the aggressively sung verses apparent threat to a jealous girl turns into a sweet tribute to the other girl who will always be my friend...The Beatles recorded the song on February 15, 1965, having also worked on Ticket to Ride and I Need You. The backing track was quickly recorded in a single take. George Harrison added a guitar flourish at the end which was omitted from the final mix: McCartney added lead guitar the next day... This is one of several Beatles songs recorded at the time on which McCartney played lead guitar in addition to his usual bass... Four-track recording allowed the group to refine songs arrangements in the studio and McCartney often had clear ideas about the guitar lines he wanted. He also contributed lead guitar to Ticket to Ride and played an electric guitar duet with Harrison on The Night Before. The song was mixed down on February 18, and again on February 23.. McCartney said of this song and other album tracks, Its a bit much to call them fillers because I think they were a bit more than that, and each one of them made it past the Beatles test. We all had to like it....In the film Help!, McCartney lip-syncs Another Girl while standing on a coral reef on Balmoral Island in the Bahamas, and plays a girl in a bikini as if she is a guitar... Since McCartneys hands are occupied (with either bass or girl), George Harrison mimes McCartneys guitar fills as if playing them himself. The four of them each change instruments. For instance, Harrison is seen playing McCartneys bass and looks confused. Starr is shown playing acoustic guitar and Lennon mimes playing drums. Another scene was filmed at the Cloisters, a famous Bahamian landmark... youtu.be/bK097JbCFFc
