The Beatles - I Want You (She’s So Heavy)

I just got back from Las Vegas and hands down the best part of the trip was getting to see Beatles - Love, the Cirque De Soleil show.  I have been listening and loving the soundtrack since it came out about 2 years back.  The soundtrack is basically a mash up of different Beatles studio albums and outtakes with who better to do it, Beatles long-time producer George Martin and his son Gilles Martin.  One of the highlights of the show occured during the song “Being the Benefit for Mr. Kite/I Want You/Helter Skelter.”  The show producers could’ve simply did a circus setting since it was for cirque de soleil during the song, but instead the performers were showing the psychosis and circus-like ludicrousness of the year 1967 with images of klansmen and a person getting nailed to a cross.  This all occured during the psychotic end chords from “I Want You” and screams from “Helter Skelter.”

I was going to post that song from the soundtrack, but for a while I wanted to post “I Want You.”  When I saw the picture above, I knew that I had to post it.

I Want You deals with want/lust/love, an emotional feeling that can come over a person when they become completely infatuated with someone.  Sometimes this feeling can turn into an obsession and make you crazy.  Those emotions are exactly the genius behind a song with such few lyrics.  This is one of the longest songs out of the Beatles catalog as we go through John Lennon’s emotional attachment and longing for Yoko Ono.  As the song ends it goes into a crazed instrumental (the same used for cirque de soleil) that pronounces musically how heavy his feelings for Yoko are.
