So we found this house when we were walking along one day. We knew we had to really get this song going, so we got down in the basement of this disused house and there was an old piano. It wasn't really disused, it was rooms to let. We found this old piano and started banging away. There was a little old organ too. So we were having this informal jam and we started banging away. Suddenly a little bit came to us, the catch line. So we started working on it from there. We got our pens and paper out and just wrote down the lyrics. Eventually, we had some sort of a song, so we played it for our recording manager and he seemed to like it. We recorded it the next day.'JOHN 1980: 'We wrote alot of stuff together, one on one, eyeball to eyeball. Like in 'I Want To Hold Your Hand,' I remember when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher's house, downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time. And we had, 'Oh you-u-u/ got that something…' And Paul hits this chord, and I turn to him and say, 'That's it!' I said, 'Do that again!' In those days, we really used to absolutely write like that – both playing into each other's noses.'PAUL circa-1994: ''Eyeball to eyeball' is a very good description of it. That's exactly how it was. 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' was very co-written.' Oh yeah, I'll tell you something I think you'll understand Then I'll say that something I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your handOh please, say to me You'll let me be your man And please, say to me You'll let me hold your hand Now let me hold your hand I wanna hold your handAnd when I touch you I feel happy Inside It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hideYeah, you got that something I think you'll understand Then I'll say that something I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your handAnd when I touch you I feel happy Inside It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide I can't hide I can't hideYeah, you got that something I think you'll understand When I feel that something I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand I wanna hold your hand |
