Dancing About Architecture
A Songwriter's Guide to the Lennon-Mccartney Catalog
Overview
Dancing About Architecture reveals how J&P's very first song, Love Me Do, showcased from the start their individual songwriting fingerprints; how John contributed to the quintessential Paulsong, Yesterday; what makes a Johnsong a Johnsong and a Paulsong a Paulsong; and, among other things, the DNA linking such different songs as She Said She Said and Good Day Sunshine, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Shes Leaving Home, and Norwegian Wood and The Fool on the Hill among many others.
Content and Scope
Dancing About Architecture traces the individual fingerprints of J&P on each of their 162 collaborations from Love Me Do to The Long and Winding Road, from the simplest structures (Please Please Me and I Saw Her Standing There) to the more complex (Getting Better and Happiness Is a Warm Gun) to their culmination in the Abbey Road medley; and provides thumbnails for the structures of each song.
Theme and Focus
Dancing About Architecture is about songwriting more than songwriters and for songwriters more than fans, tracking as it does the expansion of their repertoire through each musical discovery from song to song, album to album, and triumph to triumph until elanem were sitting on top of the world.
