Haunting closing sentiments for me, as I feel I have long put creative ideas to the side in preference of comfort or predictability, sometimes even without knowing. The fact that such words frighten me should tell me something, really.

Thanks Chris.

I believe in art as akin to channeling. The more serene and at peace the channeler, the clearer the transmission.

One thing you missed to point out is how different the creative process became for them once they left that awful studio set, and went to their own recording studio in Abbey Road. How much more relaxed they felt, making jokes and giggling. Even people participating in seances know that when you laugh and are in a good mood it's when you get the strongest paranormal results.

This was indeed well put, and an even better reminder to not wait too much, and to not care too much it things come out "perfect". Gracias por compartir. Saludos!

Thank you for this piece. Yes. When I heard the bass line and shum dum of Come Together, I was in awe. Great Colin Hay song too, to sum up your point.
