About This Track
“Carry That Weight” is a song by The Beatles. Released on Abbey Road and part of the long, climactic medley that closes the album, it features vocals from all four of The Beatles (a rarity in their songs). It is preceded by “Golden Slumbers”, and segues into “The End”.
The middle bridge, featuring brass instruments, electric guitar and vocals, reprises the beginning of “You Never Give Me Your Money”, but with different lyrics. The ending also reprises the arpeggiated guitar motif from the end of that track, similar to the figure featured prominently in the George Harrison written tracks “Here Comes the Sun” and “Badge” (co-written by Harrison and Eric Clapton).
