The Beatles - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away Sub

Lennon said of the song: "That's me in my Dylan period again. I'm like a chameleon, influenced by whatever's going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, Paul and I can. Same with Dylan." The song is an early example of John's self-reflection in his writing, which had begun with songs like "I'm a Loser" in the summer of 1964. Lennon wrote the song at home, wanting another song for the movie Help! [2] The song "is basically John playing Dylan", confirmed Paul McCartney. [3] The song is similar to a folk strophic form and uses a Dylanesque acoustic guitar figure in composed duplex time, mostly acoustic accompaniment, no backing vocals, and light percussion of brushed snare drum, tambourine, and maraca. However, a flute replaces the harmonica Dylan used to use.
