Anyone know the story behind the song? Well, in case you don't I'll tell you. When the Beatles were in India with the Maharishi, there was a woman at the camp named Prudence who had some sort of illness. She would stay in her room for days at a time in a depressed state. John Lennon wrote the song for her.

The Siouxie & The Banshees version is one of the best Beatles covers ever.

Y'know those eerie coincidences we seem to have? Well, I was humming this song before I went to bed last night. And I haven't listened to it in months.

This is weird...
(yes, I love the tune, too...)

It's as good as any great Beatles song.

I've heard that song so many times and for so many years, it's hard for me to even think of it as a recording.  I just can't be critical of great Beatles songs.

I like I'm only sleeping and "fixing a hole"... I can totally relate to both.

The White Album is my favorite, but I love them all. A Hard Days Night and Rubber Soul are excellent as well.

And I Love Her from A Hard Days Night is such a great song.

It's technically not the Beatles' best...
It's artistically not the Beatles' best...
...but it's just fucking amazing, and their best, for a different reason.

My favorite Beatles song is "Eleanor Rigby."

However, my feelings on the group itself are well documented here. I have more actual affection for Siouxsie and the Banshees and their great cover than I have for the Beatles' calcified respectability, no matter how great I know they were. Maybe that's the price you pay for universal "greatness"... people feel more obligated than compelled, inspired. They respect and praise, but do they really, truly, passionately love?
