About This Track

“I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” is a song by The Beatles, from their album Abbey Road. It was written by John Lennon (with some creative input from Yoko Ono), although it is credited as a Lennon/McCartney collaboration.

The song is an unusual Beatles composition for a variety of reasons, namely its length (nearly eight minutes), its disproportionately small number of lyrics (only fourteen different words are sung) , its three-minute descent through the same repeated guitar chords (a similar arpeggiated figure appears in other Lennon contributions to the album, “Because” as well as McCartney’s “Oh! Darling”), its hard rock sound, and for its abrupt end. It is also one of the last songs that the Beatles mixed as a group, on August 20, 1969.

    why isn't "A Wolf By The Door" from Radiohead between the similar songs? The ending riff of this song is what inspired the main riff of that song!

    McCartney's bass lines and Lennon's organ works wonders for the soul. Truly great Beatles.

    I remember hearing this once when I was obsessed with a young woman, and thinking that it summed up her impact on me to perfection... Paul's bass line just floors me.
