~ Beatle Break - Dont Pass Me By ~ Dont Pass Me By is a song by the Beatles from the double album The Beatles (also known as the White Album). Lead vocals were performed by Ringo Starr. It was Starrs first solo composition.. The song debuted at #1 in Denmark in April 1969... It stayed within the Top 10 for a month...Its earliest mention seems to be in a BBC chatter session introducing And I Love Her on the radio show Top Gear in 1964. In the conversation, Starr was asked if he had written a song and Paul McCartney mocked him soon afterward, singing the first line Dont pass me by, dont make me cry, dont make me blue. The song employs a three-chord blues structure....The song was recorded in three separate sessions in 1968: June 5 and 6 and ,and July 12 .. Despite references to the song in 1964 as Dont Pass Me By, it was called Ringos Tune (Untitled) on the June 5 session tape label and This Is Some Friendly on the June 6 label. By July, 12 the title was restored... During a lead vocal track recorded on June 6, Starr audibly counted out eight beats, and it can be heard in the released song starting at 2:30 of the 1987 CD version. The monaural mix is faster than the stereo mix, and features a different arrangement of violin in the fade-out....George Martin arranged an orchestral interlude as an introduction, but this was rejected.... It would eventually be used as an incidental cue for the Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine. In 1996, the introduction was released as the track A Beginning on The Beatles Anthology 3 CD.... The line, Im sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair, You were in a car crash and you lost your hair, is cited by proponents of the Paul is Dead urban legend as a clue to McCartneys fate; the line you lost your hair is claimed to be a reference to When Im Sixty-Four (which was written by McCartney). However, the expression to lose ones hair was a fairly common English idiom, and simply means to become anxious or upset. (See, for instance, Elizabeth Bowens novel, The Death of the Heart, 1938).. youtu.be/RBqYK56mdXU
