TICKET TO RIDE SONG FULL
Rock n roll is full of historical moments. If you haven’t heard it in a while, go give it a listen! Other Notable Rock Events From April 19 They were trying to move away from their earlier pop-oriented style and incorporate more complex arrangements and instrumentation.ĥ0 years later, “Ticket To Ride” continues to be a testament to The Beatles’ musical talent and their enduring influence on rock music. The Beatles were always experimenting with their sound, and “Ticket To Ride” was no exception. But the brief guitar solo heard in the song was played by McCartney. The droning guitar riff, played by George Harrison, is also one of the most recognizable in rock history and has been cited as an influence for many guitarists over the years. This included unique drum patterns, downbeat lyrics, and hypnotic chimes. Musically, “Ticket To Ride” is notable for steering away from The Beatles’ usual sound with techniques that were unfamiliar at the time. He could have been joking – you always had to be careful with John like that – but I certainly remember him telling me that.” - Don Short, A Hard’s Days Write by Steve Turner Influencing Rock History I was with The Beatles when they went back to Hamburg in June 1966 and it was then that John told me that he had coined the phrase ‘a ticket to ride’ to describe these cards. “The girls who worked the streets in Hamburg had to have a clean bill of health and so the medical authorities would give them a card saying that they didn’t have a dose of anything. With “ride” being a common term for sex in Britain, Short speculated that the meaning of the title was much cruder. Here, prostitutes were legal but had to have a permit to practice their trade. In the early days, The Beatles spent a lot of time in the nightclubs of Hamburg, Germany. He once shared that the origin of the song dated back to the band’s beginnings. It’s very cute now to think of me and John in a little single bed, top and tail, and Betty and Mike coming to tuck us in.” - Paul McCartney, The Lyrics: 1965 to the Present by Paul McCartney Prostitutes In Germanyĭon Short, was a journalist who spent time with The Beatles more than a few times. It was great fun to visit them, so John and I hitchhiked down to Ryde, and when we wrote the song we were referring to the memory of this trip. He ended up as an entertainment manager at a Butlin’s holiday resort. So, the phrase ‘She’s got a ticket to ride’ of course referred to riding on a bus or train, but – if you really want to know – it also referred to Ryde on the Isle of Wight, where my cousin Betty and her husband Mike were running a pub. The band was familiar with the journey, having spent time there with McCartney’s cousin who ran a pub in Ryde with her husband. McCartney once explained that the title was a play on traveling to the town of Ryde. While the story within the lyrics may be much clearer than in other Beatles tunes, the inspiration for the song’s title has never really been clear. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and longing, with lines like “I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today, yeah” and “My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care”. The protagonist of the song is left feeling confused and hurt, unable to understand why his love has left him. Included in the 1965 album Help!, the song is about a girl leaving her lover, told from the perspective of the narrator.
That’s why I like it.” The Stories Behind “Ticket To Ride” By The Beatles It’s a heavy record and the drums are heavy too. If you give me the A track and I remix it, I’ll show you what it is really, but you can hear it there.
You hear it now and it doesn’t sound too bad but it’d make me cringe. It was pretty f*cking heavy for then, if you go and look in the charts for what other music people were making. “‘Ticket To Ride’ was slightly a new sound at the time. Later, Lennon would describe the song as “one of the earliest heavy-metal records made.” Lennon said to him, “There’s a title I’ve got in mind which I can’t get rid of - ‘She’s Got a Ticket to Ride.” James encouraged Lennon to keep working on it.
