EP062 - When I Get Home ft. Jon Sunde
Update: 2025-09-27
Description
John Lennon’s "When I Get Home" pushes forward with urgency, both musically and lyrically. Special guest Jon Sunde joins us to talk about this Motown-inspired track. With harmonies doubled by Paul and George, a striking opening vocal line, and Lennon’s raw, compressed vocal delivery, the song cuts close to the energy of their live set. The session itself included a moment of confusion from 17-year-old tape operator Ken Scott, who misunderstood George Martin’s call of "When I Get Home". It took a scramble to line the tape back up before the band got the song down. Lyrically, it sways between urgency to reunite with a lover and the complexity of Lennon’s characteristic push-pull. It may not be the album’s most celebrated cut, but it captures the grit, humor, and restless drive of mid-1964 Beatles.
