The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:


[edit] Songwriting

I remember reading John saying he wrote the "I used to be cruel to my woman ..." part. I won't correct article because I don't have the source. I'm sure someone does. 216.19.218.102 23:42, 1 July 2006 (UTC) Oh, OK, never mind...

[edit] Pianette

Hope it's ok to make small change. Reference George Martin's Summer Of Love p.108 --Patthedog 15:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Musically similar songs

I don't see how this song is musically similar to "Penny Lane". Penny Lane is written with strong minor chords; the second chord in both the verse and chorus is a minor chord. "Getting Better" is pure major chord work. "Penny Lane" is a reminiscence; "Getting Better" is more of a self-reflection. "Penny Lane" includes horns, "Getting Better" is, with the exception of the tamboura, traditional rock instrumentation. 67.121.194.165 15:50, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
