“Because”

Another “Abbey Road” cut, featuring some of the most amazing vocal harmony ever caught on record. Yoko was sitting at a piano playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata; John asked her to play the chords in reverse order and based the song on that. John, Paul and George triple-tracked the vocals creating nine-part harmonies. Of course, Queen expanded on that idea with “Bohemian Rhapsody” but I digress. Harrison played the Moog synthesizer; George Martin contributed on harpsichord.
