Look, the new Beatles documentary is amazing, but if nothing else, just watch from 1:02:00 and on for the whole sequence when "Get Back" goes from a riff Paul is absentmindedly playing to a fleshed-out song. It's absolutely mesmerizing.
Imagine having the kind of creative genius where you just come up with something like that off the top of your head. It blows me away.
Harrison just casually writing "I Me Mine" overnight, and when he tells the others he has a new song, you're almost afraid it's gonna be meh because of his body language, and then he starts playing and just captures the viewer in less than ten seconds.
It's almost unsettling to watch. These are some of the greatest songs ever written, and they're just coming up with them all in the span of days. How do some brains just work like that?
Fuck it, I’m writing an essay on this.
