Inspiration

John Lennon was the primary writer of "She Said She Said," which was about one of his first LSD trips. He described it as "an 'acidy' song. "

As part of The Beatles' six-day respite from their U. S. tour in late August 1965, Brian Epstein rented a house for them at 2850 Benedict Canyon in Beverly Hills, California. Geography and History Benedict Canyon is an area near Sherman Oaks north west of Beverly Hills in the City of Los Angeles California. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. Soon, their address became widely known, and the area was besieged by Beatle fans who arrived by car, backing up traffic all the way to Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard is a Street in the western part of Los Angeles County California, that stretches from Figueroa Street in Downtown Los Angeles Their huge, rented Spanish-style house was tucked into the side of a mountain, on stilts. The nearly sheer drop did not stop fans from trying to climb the steep cliff face, and the police department detailed a tactical squad of officers to protect the band and the house. Other fans rented helicopters to spy from overhead. The Beatles found it impossible to leave home much and hosted actors Eleanor Bron (who co-starred in “Help!”), Peggy Lipton, and folksinger Joan Baez. Eleanor Bron (born 14 March, 1938) is a British stage film and television actress and authoress Help! is a 1965 film starring The Beatles and featuring Leo McKern, Eleanor Bron, Victor Spinetti, John Bluthal, Roy Peggy Lipton, also known as Peggy Lipton Jones (born August 30, 1946) is an American Actress and Socialite. This article is about Folksinger the 1985 album by the artist known as Phranc. Joan Chandos Baez (born January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York) an American Folk singer and Songwriter known On one particular day, The Beatles hosted the Byrds and actor Peter Fonda and, except for Paul McCartney, took LSD. The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964 Peter Henry Fonda (born February 23[[ 940]] is an American actor Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942 is an English rock Singer, Bass guitarist songwriter Composer,

As Fonda wrote for Rolling Stone magazine:

“ I finally made my way past the kids and the guards. Paul and George were on the back patio, and the helicopters were patrolling overhead. They were sitting at a table under an umbrella in a rather comical attempt at privacy. Soon afterwards, we dropped acid and began tripping for what would prove to be all night and most of the next day; all of us, including the original Byrds, eventually ended up inside a huge empty sunken tub in the bathroom, babbling our minds away.

I had the privilege of listening to the four of them sing, play around, and scheme about what they would compose and achieve. They were so enthusiastic, so full of fun. John was the wittiest and most astute. I enjoyed just hearing him speak and there were no pretensions in his manner. He just sat around, laying out lines of poetry and thinking–an amazing mind. He talked a lot, yet he still seemed so private.

It was a thoroughly tripped-out atmosphere, because they kept finding girls hiding under tables and so forth; one snuck into the poolroom through a window while an acid-fired Ringo was shooting pool with the wrong end of the cue. Ringo Starr, MBE (born Richard Starkey on 7 July 1940 is an English Musician, Singer, Songwriter and Actor “Wrong end?” he’d say. “So what fuckin’ difference does it make?”

 ”

Later in the day, the group passed time in a large sunken tub in the master bedroom. Fonda brought up his nearly fatal self-inflicted childhood gunshot accident, writing later that he was trying to comfort a frightened George Harrison. George Harrison, MBE (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001 was an English rock Guitarist Singer - Songwriter, Author Fonda said that he knew what it was like to be dead. Lennon snapped, “Listen mate, shut up about that stuff,” and as Fonda recalled, "You're making me feel like I've never been born. " Lennon explained, "We didn't want to hear about that! We were on an acid trip, and the sun was shining, and the girls were dancing (some from Playboy, I believe) and the whole thing was really beautiful and Sixties.

Easy Rider, a 1969 American Road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern. It was scary, when you're flying high: 'Don't tell me about it. I don't want to know what it's like to be dead!'" ". . . [H]e was showing us his bullet wound. He was very uncool," Harrison added.

McCartney recalls, more charitably: Fonda seemed to us to be a bit wasted; he was a little out of it. I don't know if we expected a bit more of Henry [Fonda]'s son, but he was certainly of our generation, and he was alright. Henry Jaynes Fonda ( May 16, 1905 – August 12, 1982) was an American Academy Award -winning Film and "

When someone realized that they had not eaten all day, the group tried to make dinner in the kitchen, but Lennon was too confused from the drug to use his knife and fork properly and as he tried to stop his food from moving around on his plate, he spilled it onto the floor. Later, during this same visit to Los Angeles, The Beatles visited Elvis Presley.

Recording

This was the final track recorded during the Revolver sessions, and was hastily added when the album lineup was found to be a song short. It took nine hours to rehearse and record the entire song, complete with overdubs. After the recording of the song, The Beatles producer George Martin is reported to have said: "All right, boys, I'm just going for a lie-down. Sir George Henry Martin CBE (3 January 1926 is a British record producer arranger and Composer. "

Paul McCartney's degree of participation in the song remains unclear. McCartney recalls that the band had an argument before the track was recorded, with McCartney walking out and thus not participating in the recording and McCartney does not contribute a vocal to the song.

Personnel

Music

The song uses mostly just three chords: B flat (I), A flat (flat-VII), and E flat (IV). The song is in the key of B flat Mixolydian modulating to E flat major during the bridge sections. The modulation is affected with an F minor (v minor) chord, a pivot chord they'd used to modulate to the key of the subdominant before on 'From Me To You' and 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'.

A guitarist's keen ear finds that the song is being played in A; the chords being played are actually A, G, D, and E minor (rather than B flat, A flat, E flat, and F minor). The song was either sped up one semitone from the original recording (by this time The Beatles routinely played with varying tape speeds), or the guitarists moved a capo up a single fret. A capo tasto (from Italian capo, "head" and tasto, "tie or fret" or simply capo, is a device

The coda features a canonic imitation in the split voice parts, an interesting development of the idea originally presented by the lead guitar in the verse.

The song is also often noted as one of Ringo Starr's most innovative contributions. Ringo Starr, MBE (born Richard Starkey on 7 July 1940 is an English Musician, Singer, Songwriter and Actor The spinning, whirling drumming seems to have no connection to the vocals or any other instrument, yet still connects with them somehow in a remarkable way. Some drum enthusiasts have referred to Starr's performance on this track as one of the best drum tracks ever recorded in pop music.

Denver memorabilia collector, Chris Lopez discovered a tape made by John Lennon of his composing the song. The source was Anthony Cox, ex-husband of Lennon's second wife, Yoko Ono. Anthony Cox is a Film producer and art promoter He married Yoko Ono on November 28 1962. born in Tokyo on February 18 1933 is a Japanese Artist and Musician. He sold it along with other recordings made by John at Christie's Auction House in London for a record six-figure sum. Christie's is a leading art business and a fine arts Auction house
