Ballad?[edit]

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)[reply]

that moog part...[edit]

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)[reply]

Ironic?[edit]

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)[reply]

Harmonies?[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

NiQ[edit]

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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Because Beatles.ogg[edit]

Image:Because Beatles.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Backwards[edit]

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)[reply]

electric harpsichord[edit]

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)[reply]
