Awesome, glad you have now reached Rubber Soul. Many great songs to come. Great musical observations with some astute and funny lyric comments.😉 Love Paul's bass. Interesting thoughts on this being the most modern sounding rock song you have heard from them so far, particularly in the guitar solo. While the note bending and sliding may be part of it, I think it is also the tone and phrasing (of which bending and sliding is a part) that also makes it sound more modern. String bending was found in the blues, before rock. But I don't think the Beatles have been using bending much before this, so a good observation. Bends are great for expressive vocal like phrasing. As you said, a great example of how rock music is like blues on steroids.

The amazing thing is that it SEEMS dissonant, but if you actually analyse what notes you’re hearing, it’s not particularly dissonant at all. It’s just a Fadd9 chord in first inversion - a basic major triad, with the third in the bass rather than the root, and an added second degree above the root. The most dissonant interval it includes is a major second, which is about as consonant as you can get beyond the basic triad. Play that chord in isolation, and it won’t seem “crunchy” at all, and won’t seem like it can possibly be the famously dissonant chord in “Drive my car” My theory is that the “dissonance” we perceive is not between notes we’re actually hearing, but between notes we’re hearing and the notes that context, and years of conditioning, leads us to expect. We WANT to hear a dominant 7 chord at that point, specifically an A7. Instead we get notes that would directly clash with the notes in an A7, and our brain sort of adds the missing notes to the brew, producing this wonderful “completely wrong, but also utterly right” effect.

If you compare the Beatles career to a ski jump... This is when you hit the bottom of the slope and the ramp kicks you back up!!!

This song has a rythm that makes you dance

Chuck Berry was the master of car-tunes. 1950s teenagers were the first mobile generation with disposable income. Les Paul first began mixing songs for how they would sound on car radio.

🥸 If it's of interest, in the verses, Paul sings the upper harmony and John the lower. For the chorus, George joins in to create a third harmony part.

In the middle eight section of “Girl” ( also on this album), the Beatles repeat the word “tit” several times. And as Paul said, this was intentional. And this is why we love the Beatles!

This places the rhythm as being more important than the vocal melody.

There's a guitar solo in a popular song from 1972, "Stuck in the Middle With You", by Steeler's Wheel (Gerry Rafferty), with a very similar tone, with guitar bends. No doubt inspired by this song, as other songs by the Beatles themselves would be in their final 4 years.

The way I think of this album is that the boss rolled through the business office on a skateboard, hawaiian t-shirt, and sunglasses, and said "say Paul, could you have an album ready for the xmass season this year? You'll only have a month to work on it so feel free to take whatever shortcuts you need, recycle stuff, just as long as one or two tracks are new it'll sell great..." -- then rolled out of the office. Paul went downstairs to find Lennon half wasted, George was hovering in mid air, in a meditative posture, phasing in and out of this reality. Ringo was behind his drums but you couldn't tell if he was awake or not. Paul was like "Good news everyone! The boss has given us an ENTIRE MONTH to re-invent our band and popular music and come up with a dozen new tracks!!"

Great review as always. I’m hoping you don’t skip over Day Tripper. It was the other side of the double A side single paired with We Can Work It Out, which you’ve done already. It’s a great guitar centric song and has their greatest guitar riff. Always one of my top Beatles songs.

I used to play this song in a band I had. We had a hard time figuring out how to count in that intro. I think the first note is the "and" of four (the final eighth-note of a pick-up bar. Then it seems to count out as a two-bar phrase, with that bass line coming in on on three. But it still seems slightly elongated on the downbeat of the second bar. I still had to count that out for our drummer by stomping my foot. I'm not sure now I'm remembering it correctly, but we found we could work it out!

Using car metaphors as a euphemism for sex goes right back to the blues (I love the "rock is blues on steroids" insight). E.g. Terraplane blues by Robert Johnson (Terraplane was a make of car) is fairly graphic in its metaphorical imagery. WRT Paul's Motown bass line: he has said that one of his primary influences was Jamie Jamerson who played bass on many Motown classics. In fact, to understand The Beatles and much modern music you really should react to some Motown hits like I Heard It Through The Grapevine or Dancing In The Street (covered later by a 'superstar' duet of Mick Jagger and David Bowie ).

You have to bear in mind that the term rock 'n' roll derives from the phrase rocking and rolling, which was a widely used euphemism for sex. Around this time Paul said something to the effect that the band's new direction was comedy songs, and there are a small number of songs that fall into that category on Rubber Soul, although there had always been a streak of knowing humour - and a fair amount of innuendo - in their songs. Paul's sliding guitar solo and very much up-and-down bassline may well have been intended to add to the effect. And like those thoughtfully place oohs on earlier records, I think we can guess what beep-beep means too.

Rubber Soul! Getting into the good stuff!

The sound of silence cover was hilarious my friend was serious when he showed me the song. I didn't laugh because he loved it but had no music experience.

“You can do something in between” An Fadd9 where the listener expects an A7 produces one of the most surprising harmonic effects in the Beatles entire oeuvre. It SEEMS dissonant, but technically isn’t. I think our brains sort of manufacture a kind of dissonance between the notes we actually hear, and the notes we don’t, but which context had led us to expect.

The minute you hear that intro and the way this song develops, you konow that something different is coming for the entire album

I am so glad that you look at some of my favourite songs, please keep it up!, was wondering if you could look at, “shine on, you crazy Dimond” by pink Floyd. It’s a wonderful song and would love for you to react to it

During the times of the USSR in 60-70-th the Beatles were so popular in our country that almost all the songs of the Beatles were performed by the soviet pop groups who wrote russian lyrics. That's how this song sounded in a russian version - kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJx6y9Osmpy1lcY.html for example

The Beatles loved inserting naughty bits in there songs. There's a few more on Rubber Soul.

The “disastrous lyrics” Paul talked about was the first draft of the song when he chose a generic “diamonds and rings” lyric which they had done before (Can’t Buy Me Love). So he and John rewrote the words to make a bit of a joke song which is a musical direction they were playing with at the time. Drive My Car even has a punchline. I DO think Amy will dislike a lot of rock and blues music though because they usually ARE lacking in melody, as this song exemplifies. The whole point of them is to make you want to dance- it’s a physical thing rather than an intellectual thing. The bass is where it’s at. And the wit of the “beep beep yeahs”. Fortunately Vlad tends to choose either more melodic rock or other more melodic genres so Amy rates more hits than misses.

19:48 While it’s much more rare than a usual bend, where you just pull the strings across the fret board, there is a similar technique that can be done on guitar to that motion. The use I know of for the technique is the beginning of the Black Sabbath song “Iron Man.” It’s an open E, the lowest note you can play on a standard tuned guitar, but then it bends up in a very unsettling way. This should be impossible, unless you drop tune the guitar down to D or D flat, but what they actually do on the song is push the lowest string up near the tuning peg so that the string gets more tense, just as you’re doing on the harp, increasing the pitch a bit. Hopefully you’ll get to “Iron Man” at some point. It has nothing to do with the Marvel super hero, but the song does appear in the end credits of the first movie.

"It's only Rock n' Roll, but I like it." - Rolling Stones

I always thought the insistent monotone of the main theme was like someone in a traffic jam beeping their horn in frustration. I did enjoy your exploration of the 'deeper' meaning of this superficially simple song. Don't forget the "And baby, I love you", which kind of confirms those interpretations.

Drrive My Car was one of four songs Capitol Records USA left off the American version of Rubber Soul. They added two songs they’d left off of Help! - It’s Only Love, and I’ve Just Seen A Face. The changes made the American version of the album seem more’folky.’

You are absolutely right about the "naughty" lyrics. Apparently "drive my car" had some sexual connotation at the time in Liverpool.

One reason that the guitar solo "stands out as being of a different nature, a different kind of solo" from previous lead breaks is because it was played by Paul McCartney instead of George Harrison, and using a slide. (You've heard Paul play lead before on Ticket To Ride and Another Girt from Help! but not sounding quite like this)

It's why I'm here! As for Rubber Soul, I count it among the five formative albums that made me realize how deep and wonderful music can be. I grew up with the US LP's tracklisting which didn't have Drive My Car on it and actually prefer the US tracking because it feels more grownup to me, Drive My Car feels like an evolution of their early period more than distinctly "middle beatles" IMO.

The solo sounds different to you because you're expecting it to be George when in fact it's Paul, and will not be the last. Enjoying your dive into the music, discovering and showing us what we feel and hear but just can't put our finger on it as to why it works so well.

So we're skipping "Day Tripper"? 🤔 Anyways, there's a definite progression happening with this song, but really the entire album. This is the first song where Paul tries to emulate soul singers like Ray Charles, although it's relatively low key here as compared to something like "Lady Madonna". This is also the album where the growing use of drugs (cannabis, mainly) starts having an impact on the songwriting. Brian Wilson was apparently knocked on his butt when he heard 'Rubber Soul', which challenged him to push his music away from simple love songs and surf tunes toward things like 'Pet Sounds'.

The good news is that some of the "filler" songs end up being remarkable. This song is fine.

You have taken your first step into a cornucopia. This is the album that stopped their peers dead in their tracks; the best of them attained their finest work in response. So many of the songs on "Rubber Soul" are individual revelations - and on into successive albums.

As you'll discover, "Drive My Car" is an anomaly on this LP. On the US release, which many consider the better version of this LP, "Drive My Car" was replaced with "I've Just Seen a Face". Though there are some rock songs, most of it is acoustic "folkish". A well-regarded US bluegrass musician praised their mastery of "country" on this LP. But always with "The Beatles" there's more going on than mere "genre". Around this time, John Lennon said that the writing of the last few songs for an LP "is pure slog". I believe he was referring to such as "The Word" and "Run for Your Life". All in all, THIS LP is a REVELATION. You interpret some of the lyrics in "Drive My Car" as . . . "racy"? Wait till you hear the background "tit-tit-tit," etc., in "Girl" -- which John said in an interview was his favorite of all his "Beatle" songs. In "Girl," five years before the women's movement began, he analyzes the traditional sex roles.

This song is quite bluesy. The harmonies bring to mind classic soul duos like Sam and Dave. Here's something from out of lyft field,....has anyone tried to play Blues on a harp?

Oh, Gad, more "multi-genre" labels for a ROCK song. It is not "hard rock". It is not "folk rock". And though popular, it is not "pop rock". It is simply rock. There is an analysis of POPULAR music on youtube by, as I recall, Leonard Bernstein. As he explains, POPULAR music is fed by every genre of music -- folk, jazz, lounge, blues, R&B, et al. It is POP music because POPULAR -- which is not a "genre". The biggest group on Capitol Music before "The Beatles" was "The Kingston Trio" They were FOLK. But they had numerous LP and single hits on the POP[ULAR] music charts, along with rock and roll and rock. "The Rolling Stones" had hits on the same POP[ULAR] music charts as "The Beatles" and at the same time. Does that mean "The Rolling Stones" are "pop" as a "genre"? How about "The Animals"? How about Dean Martin or Al Martino or Frank Sinatra? How about Louis Armstrong?

Tis lop sided yes and I wish they hadn't placed it first gauranteeing airplay but I've grown to enjoy it. The american start was better - I've Just Seen A Face ! I've dropped it from my Rubber Soul disc and as well as losing Ringo's song & Wait and replacing them with It's Only Love , Yesterday awa IJSAF ! 😹

In my opinion, quite a mediocre song.
