LS024 - Love Of The Loved - Lecture Series (bonus)
Update: 2024-12-08
Description
In this lecture, Kenyon delves into "Love of the Loved," a Paul McCartney composition written during the pre-Beatles Quarrymen days. The session examines how McCartney’s early songwriting instincts blend heartfelt lyrics with sophisticated harmonic techniques. Kenyon explores the song’s structure, highlighting its dynamic interplay between the keys of E and G, a progressive ostinato that evolves through the melody, and the use of chromatic shifts to add emotional depth. The analysis compares the Beatles’ early demo with Cilla Black’s polished 1963 release, produced by George Martin, focusing on differences in arrangement, instrumentation, and performance. Kenyon also reflects on McCartney’s recurring motifs, such as rain symbolizing sadness and resolution, as well as his ability to craft memorable patterns. This lecture offers a detailed study of how "Love of the Loved" bridges McCartney’s early songwriting experiments with the more refined techniques that would define the Beatles’ later success.
