“A Day in The Life” is one of my favorite Beatles songs (and you know how much I love The Beatles.) The song sparsely showcases complex orchestration with 40+ musicians backing the Fab Four. And while the lyrics, a few lines mostly about stories that John Lennon had allegedly read in the newspaper one morning, had never particularly inspired me, I still enjoyed them.

For a few lines lyrically, the songs aren’t that different. But RB will probably not go down as the most influential musician of our time. Why?
Successfully executing an idea is the difference between being known as the greatest rock band of all time and being known as the girl with the worst song ever written.
Are you acting on ideas before taking the time to fine tune them?
P.S. I’d love to turn you on.
P.P.S. Fun fun fun fun.

Yes, but it’s better to get it 90% right and have it 100% done than to perpetually have it 100% and 90% done.

Sounds like the Beatles need to sue ARC for stealing their lyrics and then shitting on them.
