In fact they are all mentioned already, but not yet "linked". But in the case of Ticket to Ride the lyrics had multi-layered meaning for him self too. Barry from Amsterdam, NetherlandsEsspecially John was all about art, therefore the lyrics can mean different things for different people per definition.The two meanings are confluent and strengthen each other in a dramatic way. could have a late abortion in Ride is not a separate isolated meaning but confirming/emphasizing the first meaning of the lyrics in a dramatic way. Barry from Amsterdam, NetherlandsThe second layer underneath the first layer is, that mother Julia leaving John at her sister's place "so that she can be free and live the life she wants" in a way is comparable with an abortion: the mother not wanting her child.She (his girlfriend) didn't care when she had "a ticket to ride" but John did, because he already felt sad just thinking of it. John was in love with one of the "birds" in Hamburg and he really had a crush on her but at the same time she was "riding high" as an escort girl regurlarly pleasing high society clients. Barry from Amsterdam, NetherlandsThe third meaning of the text can best be explained by later great popsongs that elaborated on the same theme: "Roxanne" of The Police and "Who is it" of Michael Jackson.As someone pointed out it is a song with a happy melody but sad lyrics. I don't know about Mozart, I always thought Beethoven was darker and more "Metal" but he came on the scene after Mozart and I don't really listen to anough classical to make that judgement anyway! Peace! I'm playing to.Īs for the first heavy metal song, I have to agree with the guy who said the Kinks did it with "You Really Got Me" (1964) that Ray Daives got that distorted sound from slashing his speakers with razors. Once I get my drums set up again and start playing, I'm really gonna think more about what I play and how it fits the song. I would have never thought in a million years to put that drum pattern under those riffs and melodies, I'm more about doing a million fills and beating the sh!t out of the kit. Zero from Nowhere, NjI love the drums in this! I own a drumset but am not very good (my main instrument is guitar).Tim from Pgh, PaIsn't "Revolution 9" their longest song?.Carpenter was usually the duo's drummer but on "Ticket to Ride" she played electric bass. Karen Anne Carpenter passed away on February 4th, 1983 at the young age of 32. The duo's next six releases peaked at no lower than #3 on the Top 100 "Close to You". Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 8th 1970, the Carpenter's covered version of "Ticket to Ride"* entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #92 eventually it peaked at #54 and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100.Oh, maybe in changing it from "she" to "he" she was talking about a real story from her life, & it depressed her terribly? Seriously, is it that hard to put on a smile & sing an upbeat song in an upbeat way? George from Vancouver, CanadaI'd never heard anyone covering a Beatles song wreck one until I heard Karen Carpenter doing this one.it's up to the listeners to find out what it means to them. George from Vancouver, CanadaJohn in NY, they encouraged the analyzing of their songs & considering different meanings this is why Jon refused to give meanings when interviewed.The Carpenters version - which I don't particularly love either - just stripped away the exciting musicality that makes the Beatles version FEEL like a happier song than it really is. Hester from HoustonGeorge from Vancouver: "upbeat song"? The lyrics - starting with "I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today" - are definitely describing a very "down" situation for the narrator.
