Talk:Because (Beatles song)

Ballad?
To what extent would you say this is a 'ballad'? Isn't that just down to one's own opinion? Vanky 17:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

that moog part...
does anybody have a clue what setup they used on their moog intro for "because"? it sounds practically stringed! Ade gear 17:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Ironic?
Why is it ironic that a song inspired by another inspires a third song in turn? I may be missing something... Eivanec 13:34, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Harmonies?
This article says that the harmony is created in 3 part with John George and Paul, but it sounds to me like its John's voice overlayed 3 times. Anybody else think so? Andrew Lapidus 03:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You may already know this but the song was multitracked 3 times for John, Paul and George. So nine tracks in all! 99.167.196.159 (talk) 21:49, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Nah, I'm pretty sure Paul sings the highest harmony. TheContralto 00:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Not in this song, but John vocals on "Sun King" are actually multi-tracked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.0.34 (talk) 22:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

NiQ
Part of this song was also used by an unsigned rap artist "NiQ" in the 50 Cent/YouTube On The Rise Rap contest. The track is called "Blow My Mind", something similar to this song is heard during the chorus.

NiQ practices shameless... pardon.. incredibly shameless self-promotion.

Backwards
It is obviously not 'Moonlight Sonata' played backwards, nor did Lennon say it is. He said he asked Yoko to play it backwards, & that was his inspiration. I've always thought the structure more an anagram than a reversal of the chords. Whatever the case, a beautiful song (& yes, in three distinct voices overdubbed twice to make nine voices). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.154.30 (talk) 14:39, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

electric harpsichord
The song begins with a distinctive electric harpsichord intro played by producer George Martin. Electric harpsichord is a redirect to Clavecin électrique, but this is something completely different (a 18th century prototype of an instrument with bells instead of strings). I think best would be to delete the misleading redirect or replace it by a stub explaining the instrument which the Beatles have used. -- Aspiriniks (talk) 17:02, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
