In this lecture, Kenyon explores "I'll Get You," a fascinating early Beatles track co-written by Lennon and McCartney. As the B-side to "She Loves You," this song offers a unique glimpse into the band's evolving songwriting techniques. Kenyon examines the track's lyrical themes, which blend imaginative visualization with a persistent declaration of affection, revealing John Lennon’s influence through its introspective tone and unconventional phrasing. The analysis highlights the song’s harmonic subtleties, including the use of appoggiaturas and color chords, alongside its progressive ostinato—a technique where the melody repeats while the chords evolve beneath it. Kenyon also discusses the song's rhythmic phrasing, harmonies, and the dynamic contrasts between sections, showcasing the Beatles’ early experimentation with structure and arrangement. This lecture provides a deep dive into a lesser-known gem, shedding light on the compositional elements that mark the band’s journey toward musical sophistication.
