The Beatles, Doctor Who, Steptoe, Tony Hancock and the Sopranos. Not necessarily in that order. And mainly The Beatles if truth be told.
I’m sure I say this every seven years, but the UP series is bloody brilliant TV. Poignant, uplifting and staggering in its ambition. We won’t see its like again. #70UP

You Can’t Do That is - in the parlance of the young folk - a true banger. A local pub band used to have this as a regular in their set - it always went down a storm. #harddays26

I absolutely love Things We Said Today. A Macca songwriting highlight on a Lennon-dominated album, though I’ve never been entirely sold on the double-tracked vocal. #harddays26

Tell Me Why - another song that would have been a significant hit for a lesser band than The Beatles: here it’s another (great) also-ran. #harddays26

And I Love Her. Top drawer stuff; George really should have got a writing credit on this one. #harddays26

I Should Have Known Better is one of the few songs I’ve sung live. I think John did it better. #harddays26

Momma Gets By - A song that’s got under my skin more and more as the weeks have gone by. ‘She loves him…’ Yep. Got me again, Macca. 😭 #dungeonlane

Salesman Saint - Bloody love Giles Martin’s 40s-style arrangement on this one. It elevates a good track into something a bit special. #dungeonlane

First Star of the Night - It’s sweet, isn’t it? ‘And I know my little world is still alright…’ It’s what you need to hear and feel every now and then. Clever old Macca. #dungeonlane

Life Can Be Hard - Can’t stop whistling this one. If this wasn’t originally intended for the stage version of It’s A Wonderful Life, I’m George Bailey. #dungeonlane

Home To Us - Enjoy this one more on every play. It’s Paul McCartney. It’s Ringo Starr. It’s got a great guitar solo. Puts a smile on my face every time I play it. #dungeonlane

Never Know - An early favourite. Love the Atom Heart Morher-era backing vocals. Actually, I love everything about this track one. Quintessential Macca. #dungeonlane

Come Inside - Not the album highlight, but a great side opener and a song begging to be added to the live setlist. #dungeonlane

We Two - Oddly, this seems to be the least-loved song on the album, but I really can’t get enough of it. Deceptively simple, classic Macca. Give me more of that four-track, lads! #dungeonlane

Down South - Solid song, but one middle-eight short of a cracker. (That absence hasn’t stopped me humming it most of today.) #dungeonlane

Mountain Top - Love this. Almost 60 years on from Pepper, Macca continues to embrace the psychedelic. Some marvellous moments here, even if I can’t understand what Nancy says at the end… #dungeonlane

Ripples in a Pond - Possibly my least favourite song from the album, but no skipper, and still quite the earworm. #dungeonlane

Lost Horizon - Getting Flaming Pie era vibes from this one. Cracking track. Can imagine this one being knocked out at a higher tempo by the Junior’s Farm-era Wings. #dungeonlane
