The Beatles: Note By Note

I Feel Fine - Lecture Series 68 (bonus)


Listen Later

In this lecture, Kenyon digs into “I Feel Fine” not as a chart-topping single, but as a turning point in Lennon’s songwriting and the band’s evolution in the studio. We unpack the way John’s neutral “I feel fine” lyric carries more weight than it first appears, how the melody crosses bar lines in subtle, surprising ways, and how the Beatles start to experiment with perspective in their storytelling. You’ll also hear how the band’s Latin-influenced drum pattern and riff-based arrangement reveal a whole new level of musical interplay. By the end, you’ll see why “I Feel Fine” is more than just an early example of feedback — it’s the sound of a band learning to speak a new musical language.
