Mere Beatles: I saw her standing there
6. februar 2018Medens vi er ved Fab Four, så har sitet Salon lavet en liste over 20 alle tiders bedste indledende skæring på et debutalbum. Og blandt dem finder vi Beatles og “I saw her standing there” fra Please please me. Begrundelsen lyder:
The Beatles didn’t emerge fully formed, of course; the band members honed their skills in clubs for years before the British Invasion. But this Paul McCartney-John Lennon tune makes a good case for the group’s genius: Although obviously indebted to ’50s rock ‘n’ roll, the twisting rhythms, brisk tempo and giddy exhortations— “I’ll never dance with another/Oooh!” — make “I Saw Her Standing There” sound fresh and edgy.
Nu behøver vi jo ikke være enige i listen, men et godt nummer er det nu stadigvæk…
