There is a sinister nature to the track, but the overwhelming theme of the lyrical content of ‘Come Together’ is what the track is truly about. So iconic was this punk-like rock and roll tune from The Beatles that film director, Danny Boyle asked Arctic Monkeys to perform the song at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony in an homage to British music.
The song has a number of different parts that interlock and interweave between the distorted keyboard, rhythmic guitar, George Harrison’s simple guitar melody and the throbbing bass of Paul McCartney, that there is something different to listen to every time it comes on.
The Story
Although ‘Come Together’ is credited to Lennon-McCartney, it is widely regarded as John Lennon’s song as he is the main singer and it sounds more typical of his tracks. The song also became a staple of Lennon’s solo career.
Apparently inspired by Timothy Leary’s campaign to become the governor of California in the late 60s against Ronald Raegan. His campaign was called “Come together, join the party”.
The Beatles version reached #1 in the US in 1969 but only #4 in the UK from the tumultuous but highly successful album Abbey Road.
