The flipside of The Beatles' 1969 album "Abbey Road" features a medley of tracks known as "The Long One". This long one was effectively The Beatles last grand effort in songwriting and recording and is a real jewel of their discography. So today let's look at how this intricate run of tracks was assembled, how the different songs segue and reference each other, and how the Beatles took cues from symyphonic music.

The song during the Patreon outro is my track "See You Again". You can listen to it on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB8yjzQzHW8 and on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/4BFNlLFggPKBUj9mauGhO7?si=a0ce567677df4199 😁
