Surrealism

Nineteen songs use it, from 1966 to 1970. 'Yellow Submarine' is the earliest, from 1966, and 'Dig a Pony' the last, from 1970, with the Magical Mystery Tour album leaning on it hardest, four of its eleven tracks. This one is John's to sing, and he takes eleven of the nineteen, three for Paul, and the two of them together on two, with George on one and Ringo on one. Lennon wrote fifteen of the nineteen, such as 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Come Together', 15% of his songs against 6% of McCartney's. On 'Penny Lane': rain and sun simultaneous, and play-within-play. On 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!': horse dancing the waltz and dreamlike circus. Of those, 'Strawberry Fields Forever' has swarmandal, and only one other recording does.
