Day 83: March 24: Something in the Way She Moves
"She says them mostly just to calm me down."
Here's what started it all. This song was in the batch that made The Beatles believe that James could make it in the music biz. While the song still evolves after this recording, I thought this early version featuring a really young James (still battling acne) was too interesting to pass on.
When your song is so good that The Beatles rip it off, you know you're on to something. George took the first line and wrote one of his most beautiful love songs. Incidentally, this song is written about Patty Boyd who is also the subject of Layla, Wonderful Tonight and Bell Bottom Blues. Since most of the Beatles catalog seems to be blocked online, we;ll have to settle for this interesting version of George and Eric together playing a song written about a woman they were both married to at different times.
