The drum solo was later used at the beginning of " Get Back" on the 2006 album Love. The track is followed by a variant on the long piano chord that ends " A Day in the Life", concluding the compilation. The 1996 compilation album Anthology 3 contains a remixed version of "The End", restoring tambourine and guitar overdubs mixed out of the original, and edited to emphasise the guitar solos and orchestral overdub. Although "The End" stands as the last known new recording involving all four members of the Beatles, one additional song, " I Me Mine", was recorded by three members of the group (Lennon being absent due to having privately left in September 1969) in January 1970 for the album Let It Be.
"The End" was initially intended to be the final track on Abbey Road, but it ended up being followed by " Her Majesty". Then the orchestration arrangement takes over with a humming chorus and Harrison playing a final guitar solo that ends the song.
Immediately after Lennon's third solo, the piano chords of the final line "And in the end. Each has a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities. The first two bars are played by McCartney, the second two by Harrison, the third two by Lennon, and then the sequence repeats twice. Yet there was no animosity, no tension at all – you could tell they were simply having fun." More than anything, they reminded me of gunslingers, with their guitars strapped on, looks of steely-eyed resolve, determined to outdo one another. Geoff Emerick, the Beatles' recording engineer, later recalled: "John, Paul and George looked like they had gone back in time, like they were kids again, playing together for the sheer enjoyment of it. The solos begin approximately 53 seconds into the song. The idea for a guitar instrumental over this section was Harrison's, and Lennon suggested that the three of them each play a section. McCartney, George Harrison and Lennon perform a rotating sequence of three, two-bar guitar solos. The take in which Starr performed the solo originally had guitar and tambourine accompaniment, but other instruments were muted during mixing, giving the effect of a drum solo. His solo on "The End" was recorded with twelve microphones around his drum kit in his playing, he said he copied part of Ron Bushy's drumming on the Iron Butterfly track " In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".
Starr disliked solos, preferring to cater drum work to whoever sang in a particular performance, and in fact this is the only drum solo Starr recorded with the Beatles. The closing lyrics of "The End" inspired this plaque.Īll four Beatles have a solo in "The End", including a Ringo Starr drum solo. Orchestral overdubs were added on 15 August, and the closing piano and accompanying vocal on 18 August. The first vocals for the song were added on 5 August, additional vocals and guitar overdubs were added on 7 August, and bass and drums on 8 August, the day the Abbey Road cover picture was taken. At this point, the song was called "Ending". Recording began on 23 July 1969, when the Beatles recorded a one-minute, thirty-second master take that was extended via overdubs to two minutes and five seconds. Which again proves that if he wants to, he can think." Lennon misquoted the line the actual words are, "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make." He had a line in it, 'And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give,' which is a very cosmic, philosophical line. McCartney said, "I wanted to end with a little meaningful couplet, so I followed the Bard and wrote a couplet." In his 1980 interview with Playboy, John Lennon acknowledged McCartney's authorship by saying, "That's Paul again.
The song features the only drum solos recorded by Ringo Starr with the Beatles. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles, and is the final song of the medley that constitutes the majority of side two of the album. It was composed by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. " The End" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Abbey Road.
