In this lecture, Kenyon explores "All My Loving," one of Paul McCartney’s standout tracks from With the Beatles. The session delves into the song’s unique blend of emotional resonance and technical sophistication, beginning with its 32-bar form and seamless integration of A and B sections. Kenyon highlights McCartney’s innovative bassline, which employs a walking pattern to create dynamic counterpoint with the melody, and examines John Lennon’s relentless triplet rhythm guitar, which lends the song its distinctive driving energy. The discussion extends to the harmonic structure, focusing on McCartney’s use of a flat-seven chord and descending thirds to evoke a sense of longing amidst the song’s upbeat tempo. By analyzing the lyrics, Kenyon uncovers the thematic interplay of anticipation and devotion, positioning "All My Loving" as a defining example of McCartney’s early mastery of songwriting. This lecture provides a deep dive into one of the Beatles’ most iconic love songs.
