In this Beatles lecture, Kenyon delves into "I Call Your Name," a song written by John Lennon when he was just 16. The discussion explores the song's straightforward lyrics and harmonic structure, highlighting its mix of blues and ska influences. Kenyon analyzes the use of unconventional chord progressions, melodic phrasing, and compositional techniques, noting how the song reflects Lennon's early experiences and emotions, possibly linked to his childhood and family life. The lecture also covers how the Beatles' version evolved from Lennon's initial ideas, the song's recording history, and its connection to Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas.
