EP058 - Tell Me Why ft. Lars (larsland)
Update: 2025-08-30
Description
Was “Tell Me Why” just a filler track—or something deeper? On this week’s episode of The Beatles: Note for Note, we welcome special guest Lars (of the YouTube channel larsland) to unpack the vocal layers, gender dynamics, and unspoken angst of this under-discussed Lennon rocker. We dig into the harmonies, that strange falsetto bridge, and the song’s girl-group inspiration, then detour into a storytime on Dave Dexter Jr.—the Capitol Records exec who almost kept the Beatles out of America. It's part musicology, part media critique, and full Beatles nerd-dom. And yes, we rate the song.
