Abbey Road is so jarring. It’s like
- ok here’s Paul breaking his vocal chords on a screaming bluesy ballad about John leaving him
- next up, Ringo with a silly kids’ singalong about living under the sea
- here’s 7 minutes of John, over distorted guitars and a heavy, complex bass, desperately crooning/wailing/screaming about how the weight of his own desire and need is too heavy to bear
- and now George just plucking the gentlest, brightest little guitar melody, singing the sun’s coming up and everything’s alright
