Got To Get You Into My Life – Paul McCartney’s Soulful Ode from Revolver

There are Beatles songs that glitter with psychedelia, songs that ache with melancholy, and songs that dazzle with experimentation. Then there is “Got to Get You Into My Life,” Paul McCartney’s radiant burst of brass and soul from 1966’s Revolver. On the surface, it sounds like a jubilant love song, a celebration of someone who makes life brighter. But beneath its swinging horns and exuberant groove lies a different story altogether—one about discovery, liberation, and inspiration that went beyond romance.
