We could talk for hours about the conception of The Beatles best songs but this Paul McCartney track is a revealing insight into the fab four

John - who once purchased an island in Co Mayo - and his initial lyrics for the 1965 song In My Life traced his childhood bus route, featuring Penny Lane and Strawberry Field. However, he later revised this concept to make the song a broader reflection of nostalgia and the past.

The Beatles built their entire career on their ability to sound like no one else, but the album opener that Paul McCartney used to emulate American rock ‘n’ roller Jimi Hendrix is one notable exception.

Ringo Starr was always supportive of his other band mates work; however, there were a few songs by the band that he admitted to hating.

Paul and John both lay claim to being the primary author of the 1966 song 'Eleanor Rigby'. Paul said he came up with the song's melody as he sat at his piano and the character in it was originally called Daisy Hawkins.
