I made this video. I'm actually quite proud of it. "Golden Slumbers" (based on lyrics but not the music of Thomas Dekker's 17th-century song of the same name), "Carry That Weight" which features chorus vocals from all four of The Beatles, although Lennon was in hospital at the time of the primary recording because of a car accident with Ono, his son Julian and Ono's daughter Kyoko—he recorded his vocals at a later date), and the climax, "The End". The latter is notable for featuring Starr's only drum solo in The Beatles catalogue. Starr hated solos and had to be persuaded to do it. It was even edited down several bars from its original recorded version. Toward the end of the song, immediately prior to "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" line played over piano chords, are nine bars or measures of guitar solo: the first bar is played by Paul McCartney, the second by George Harrison, and the third by John Lennon, then the sequence repeats. Each had a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities: McCartney's playing included string bends similar to his lead guitar work on Another Girl from the Help album; Harrison's was melodic yet technically advanced and Lennon's was stinging and had the most distortion. Immediately after Lennon's third solo the piano chords of the final line "And in the end...." begin. Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullabye Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullabye Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullabye Boy, you're going to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you're going to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time I never give you my pillow I only send you my invitations And in the middle of the celebrations I break down Boy, you're going to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you're going to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Oh yeah, all right Are you going to be in my dreams Tonight? And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make.

It was definitely a better end than the Let It Be album. The ending of "The End" really just sums up their entire career in a few simple words. It really is like their magnum opus. Personally, I was never too big on these songs, but more recently I've grown to appreciate them, and I've realized how, since this was pretty much the last thing they did before their breakup, it really does end things in the best possible way they could've done it.

Oh, no, that's Ringo. :) "Paul was trying to talk a very reluctant Ringo into doing a drum solo toward the end of the long medley. 'You know how much I hate solos!' Ringo kept saying, same as he did when we were working on 'A Day In The Life.' 'Well, just do a *token* solo, then,' Paul said half-jokingly. --Geoff Emerick, Here There & Everywhere

I think the medley was Paul's mostly. I seem to recall Lennon didn't particularly care for it. But it stands up 40 years later as some of their best work. A beautiful album.

Seriously, I could cry. The medley on Abbey Road is just proof that four musical geniuses knew how to go out in style.

GREAT JOB, I alwys wish there was not an end to the beatles, but I guess there had to be an end

... brings tears to my eyes when I hear 'The End' coz it really was the end of their recording career together as a group. Then, only a little over ten years later, on December 8th 1980, any lingering hopes we all had of a Beatles reunion were ended forever.
