A SONG TO REMEMBER

Art Crafts and Pottery

2012-01-25T21:17:00.000-08:00

My brother and I have been doing different art crafts for the past 3 years and we really have so much fun exerting both of our creativity and artistic side. I am really proud of little brother because at his very young age, we was able to produce great crafts. However, it is pretty sad that i became too busy with my work lately and we can hardly find quality time together to make some new art projects. Maybe I'll wait for my next vacation to make it possible for both of us to continue our hobby.
Actually i was aiming to take this hobby to the next level and have it as good source of income. I have seen some crafts online and most of them are truly hand made and highly personalized. I would like to learn on how make those key-chains and action figures from polymers clay or to discover more about pottery.
I remember, when i was in high school, we had a field trip and they took us on a big pottery business and they showed us how to make one. It's really fun though it might require a big space to occupy the equipments. It's quite messy too so you really have to work for it in huge environment. nevertheless, it is a nice business to work in.
Want to know how far this business can grow? Check the video here below and see successful this wholesale mexican pottery industry is.

Finding the Right Girl

2012-01-19T06:23:00.000-08:00

Well, as what they say, no man is an island! A man will always seek for someone who he can be with for a life time. Someone who will take care of him, someone who will love him, and someone who will be on his side through thick and thin.
Being single or bachelor is nice because you do not have any commitments to fulfilled yet and you do not have any responsibilities over your head but you have to keep in mind that you cannot have this kind of status forever unless you are not really interested in getting into a serious relationship. I, myself, is not getting any younger and I might have to search for someone who i can marry and someone who will love and accept me the way I am. Though I know that I should not seek for it desperately because God has plans for me and I know he will help me find the right girl at the right time.
Well, since i am still single I might have to consider joining some dating websites and meet some new friends and who knows? I might find the girl of my dream over the web right? Though i don't think i will look for any of those available russian brides online because i am not planning to get married yet. Though i know some of my friends found their hubbies and honeys though dating sites as well so I'm sure it is not impossible to happen on my end too.
Anyway, what matters most is you love each other no matter how much boundaries you've e got on your way. For the mean time, let me enjoy m y single status first hehe

I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY ~ THE BEATLES

2012-01-01T02:41:00.000-08:00

"I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" is a song by The Beatles, written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was released on the album Beatles for Sale in the United Kingdom in 1964. In the United States, Capitol released the song on the Beatles VI album and also as the B-side of the single "Eight Days a Week" in 1965. The single peaked at number one in the US; it was not released in the UK. "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" charted as a B-side, reaching number thirty-nine on Billboard. The lyrics revisit Lennon's familiar themes of alienation and inner pain. In this song, he is at a party, waiting for his girl to show up. When it becomes clear that she has stood him up, he decides to go, rather than spoil the party for everyone else. Both the lyrics and melody share a melancholy sound and theme with previous songs on Beatles for Sale, such as "No Reply" and "I'm a Loser". Rosanne Cash covered the song for her Hits 1979-1989 compilation. Her version went to number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in 1989. It is also Cash's last number one hit to date.

EIGHT DAYS A WEEK ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-31T02:37:00.000-08:00

"Eight Days a Week" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, based on Paul's original idea, recorded by The Beatles and released on their December 1964 album Beatles for Sale. "Eight Days a Week" is the first song which The Beatles took into the studio unfinished to work on the arrangement during the session, which would later become common. The song was mainly recorded in two recording sessions on 6 October devoted exclusively to this song, which lasted nearly seven hours with a fifteen-minute break in between. Lennon and McCartney tried several ideas for the intro and outro of the song. The first take featured a simple acoustic guitar introduction. The second take introduced an "oo"-ing vocal that was experimented with until the sixth take, when it was abandoned in favour of the final guitar intro. The final outro (along with unused intro takes) was recorded separately on 18 October. The final version of the song incorporated another Beatles' first and pop music rarity: the song begins with a fade-in, as opposed to the common fade-out ending. The instrumentation includes acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass and overdubbed handclaps. The fade-in and coda both include more guitar overdubs.

SHE'S A WOMAN ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-30T02:29:00.000-08:00

"She's a Woman" is a song by The Beatles. It was released as the B-side to "I Feel Fine" in 1964, their last single release that year. It reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 from frequent airplay. The song, penned by Paul McCartney (though credited to Lennon–McCartney), was his attempt at imitating the vocal style of Little Richard. This is why the song is in such a high register, even for McCartney's tenor range. Some takes of the song (especially recordings of live concerts) feature an extended outro. John Lennon was quoted as saying, "We were so excited to say 'turn me on' --you know, about marijuana and all that... using it as an expression." The structure of the song is fairly simple, with the melody carried mostly by McCartney's voice. His bass and a backing piano produce a countermelody, with Lennon's guitar playing chords on the backbeat. During the first verse, the piano also plays chords on the upbeats. George Harrison plays a bright guitar solo during the middle eight. The Beatles started including the song in their live shows in 1965.

I FEEL FINE ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-29T02:18:00.000-08:00

"I Feel Fine" is a riff-driven rock song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released in 1964 by The Beatles as the A-side of their eighth British single. The song is notable for the use of feedback on a recording for the first time by any musician. The single reached the top of the British charts on 12 December of that year, displacing The Rolling Stones' "Little Red Rooster," and remained there for five weeks. It also reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1964. The B-side was "She's a Woman"."I Feel Fine" was the first of six number one songs in a row on the American charts, a record at the time. The subsequent singles were "Eight Days a Week", "Ticket to Ride", "Help!", "Yesterday", and "We Can Work It Out". The record was equalled by The Bee Gees in 1979 and surpassed by Whitney Houston in 1988.

SLOWDOWN ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-28T02:13:00.000-08:00

"Slow Down" is a 24-bar blues written and performed by Larry Williams. Released as a single in 1958, it was a rhythm and blues hit that influenced the growing Rock & Roll movement of the time. The Beatles covered the song early in their career and eventually recorded a version and released it on their Long Tall Sally EP single in the UK. Not long after, the song was released in the U.S. on its own, as the B-side of 1964's "Matchbox" single (also a 12-bar blues, from the Long Tall Sally EP), reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also included in the 1988 Past Masters and 1994 Live at the BBC compilation albums.Ian MacDonald criticised the performance as "one of the Beatles' least successful rock-and-roll covers", lacking "bottom, drive and basic cohesion" and stated that "[Lennon's] guitar solo is embarrassing and the sound balance a shambles". He also pointed out the edit at 1:14 whereupon the piano momentarily disappears and McCartney's bass becomes inaudible. Starr can likewise be heard to lose time during the song.

MATCHBOX ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-27T02:07:00.000-08:00

"Matchbox" is a rock and roll and rockabilly song written by Carl Perkins and first recorded by him at Sun Records in December 1956 and released on February 11, 1957 as a 45 single on Sun Records. It has become one of Perkins' best-known recordings. Perkins' "Matchbox" has been followed by many cover versions, notably by The Beatles. The Beatles were fans of Perkins and began performing the song circa 1961. Their then-drummer, Pete Best, performed the lead vocals, but no studio recording featuring Best singing the song is known to exist although a live recording with Best on vocals does exist. In 1962, John Lennon sang the song during a performance at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; a recording of this exists and was included on Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962. The next year, the Beatles performed "Matchbox" with Ringo Starr on lead vocals for their BBC radio show, and this version would be included on the Live at the BBC album. Starr also got to sing lead vocals on it when it was recorded in 1964.

IF I FELL ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-26T02:04:00.000-08:00

"If I Fell" is a song by The Beatles which first appeared in 1964 on the album A Hard Day's Night in the United Kingdom and on the North American album Something New. It was written by John Lennon, but credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song is notable for its unusual structure, which includes an unrepeated introductory section sung by Lennon, followed by sequential verse sections, each having a slightly expanded form, but with no obvious chorus or bridge section. The demo version (just John on acoustic guitar) from early 1964, does include the introduction, as well as an alternate ending. The remainder of the song features a two-part harmony, sung by Lennon and McCartney together into a single microphone at their suggestion, with Lennon singing the lower harmony while McCartney sings the higher one. It also features intricate chord changes. "If I Fell" was a part of the Beatles repertoire during the Beatles' US and Canadian tour in 1964. The group typically performed the song faster than the studio version, and Lennon and McCartney often sang it with barely suppressed laughter. On more than one occasion it was introduced as "If I Fell Over"

AND I LOVE HER ~ THE BEATLES

2011-12-25T01:57:00.000-08:00

"And I Love Her" is a song recorded by The Beatles, written mainly by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney). The fifth track on their third album, A Hard Day's Night, it was released 20 July 1964 with "If I Fell" as a single by Capitol Records in the United States, reaching #12 in Billboard. The Beatles performed "And I Love Her" just once outside of Abbey Road Studios. On 14 July 1964 they played it for an edition of the BBC's Top Gear radio show, which was broadcasted two days later. A majority of this song switches back and forth between the key of E and its relative minor C#m. It also changes keys altogether just before the solo, to F. It ends on the parallel major of the key of F's relative minor, D. This technique is known as tierce de Picardie .The song was written mainly by McCartney, though John Lennon claimed in an interview with Playboy that his major contribution was the middle eight section ("A love like ours/Could never die/As long as I/Have you near me"). It is revealed by Paul McCartney in George Harrison: Living in the Material World that Harrison came up with the main riff. As with many Beatles songs, this has been covered by many artists of varying style from R&B, crooner, pop and even grunge.

Making You Business Visible Online

2011-12-24T16:55:00.000-08:00

Making your business visible online is a such a difficult task because the competition in the web market gets tougher and tougher everyday. But of course if you are aware about the so called SEO or Search Engine Optimization, I'm sure you can raise up above and let the online world know the products that you are selling with no ease. But of course, learning SEO might take some time to be able for you to perform it effectively.
Social Networking sites can be a major contributing factor as well to help your business grow. Facebook, in particular, can be very influential for your business. Gathering facebook likes is probably the easiest way to make your business extra popular and it's the easiest way to spread a word about your products or services. However, gathering Facebook page likes can be a bit challenging since we cannot please everyone to like our pages not unless you will avail online services that will help gather facebook page likes with less effort from you. Availing such services is very ideal indeed because it can definitely help your business to become more visible on the web that will help you boost your sales and earn more profit from it . Buying facebook page likes can also be used if you are into an online contest and you need to gather votes by earning likes from other people (though it doesn't sound so fair hahaha). It can also be used for press releases or promotion of an upcoming event and product launches.

I did some research regarding about this thing and here are some cool answers for you guys.
Men are so Bored. If you don't have anything to do at home and you don't have any friends to hang out with then that will definitely bore you to death. Most men watch porn simply because they are looking for some sort of entertainment especially for those single ones. Whether they go into porn xchange or any sort of porn-related websites, they are just watching it simply because they are bored.
Curiosity. One of the reason why men watch porn is because of their growing and unstoppable curiosity. Most of these men try to explore new things that is way beyond their expectation. These are the things that they have never done before and they are just too curious about it. Porn will indeed arouse you sexually. Men are stimulated sexually primarily from their visual perceptions. Essentially, they are turned on by what they see. They will try to explore and explore whether it's all about brazzers or they are just trying to read some brazzers reviews to filled up their curiosity.
Improving their Sex Life. If you are a married guy then you will surely understand how sex can change the status of your relationship. Sex is somehow a driving point towards a great relationship for most couple. This is the reason why men watch porn to improve their sex life. They get some techniques and guides that they can apply to make their sex life more interesting.

Traveling is my Ultimate Dream

2011-12-11T06:15:00.000-08:00

Traveling is actually not my forte and I usually stay at home even there's a plenty of chance for me to go out of town. However, one of my goals is to get a passport and have a chance to travel outside the country. I felt so envious with my other cousins who have traveled different places abroad already which makes me really eager to do the same thing.
Anyway, traveling has never been an easy thing. You just can't decide to go one place to another in just one night. There are so many factors to consider before traveling. Of course, that includes your budget. Your budget will tell how far your travel experience can go. The greater the budget you have the greater the experience you'll get. Aside from that, you also have to consider the hotel or the place where you will be staying while your on tour. Budget hotels are ideal if you're budget is quite limited but of course, nothing can beat the experience that can be offered by some luxury hotels out there.
Of course, you have to travel the whole city or the whole place but that would be impossible if you are not familiar with the location not unless you hire someone or you get car services to bring you to the places that you want to visit. Like those cheap car hire aberdeen airport services that will suit your budget well yet will give you nothing but the best of their service that will certainly give you an unforgettable travel experience.
Sigh.. now i feel like i wanted to visit other country someday..

The Strength of SEO

2011-12-11T05:28:00.000-08:00

I have been into blogging for more than four years now and I must say that I really started from a very scratch. My first and only intention actually is to have a personal site where I can share all my stories and ideas, thoughts and principles to others. But as time passes by, i eventually learned how to deal with other bloggers. It is pretty exciting to discover different blogs and to open a door and befriend with other bloggers online. Making you and your blog noticeable has never been an easy thing to accomplish knowing how big the blogosphere is.
Keeping your blog updated and posting unique contents will help you a lot to gain more traffic but then it is still not enough to make you more visible online. Especially if you are about to start an online business, you really have to drive more traffic to your site in order to gain more viewers and buyers online. This is where SEO or Search Engine Optimization comes in. SEO is a very effective marketing strategy for those who are targeting online buyers. SEO will indeed make your site more visible and will help your business grow, however, not everyone is capable of optimizing the search engines, hence, most businesses today hire or get the service of some third party companies who are experts in such field like the Denver SEO Company that provides a risk free internet marketing strategy that will increase you page rank and will drive more traffic to your site. You can check their site at http://www.rankassure.com/ and see hat else the site has to offer for you and your website.

I'M HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-30T05:28:00.000-08:00

"I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and recorded by The Beatles for the film soundtrack to A Hard Day's Night.It was written specifically for George Harrison to sing at a time when he lacked the confidence to compose his own material. Years later, McCartney described it as a "formula song", and Lennon said, "I would never have sung it myself."Structurally, it features hectic Bo Diddley rhythm and busy banjo style guitar playing in juxtaposition with Harrison's vocal. Its composers give it an unpredictable choice of chord (augmenting the B7th on "I'm happy just to dance with you") right at the crux of its title, jarring the chorus. The song is also unique in that it begins not with a verse or chorus but with the last four bars of the bridge. Anne Murray included a cover of "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" on her 1980 album Somebody's Waiting. Murray had had some success in previous years covering other Beatles songs such as "You Won't See Me" and "Day Tripper." Unlike the Beatles' original, Murray's version of "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" is an adult-contemporary ballad.

I'LL CRY INSTEAD ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-29T05:24:00.000-08:00

"I'll Cry Instead" is a John Lennon composition credited to Lennon/McCartney, and recorded by The Beatles for the soundtrack to their film A Hard Day's Night. Lennon wrote the song for the "break-out" sequence in the film. Although the song was not part of the original movie, the label of the American 45 lists the song as being "From the United Artists Picture, 'A Hard Day's Night'". "I'll Cry Instead" was described by Cynthia Lennon as a cry for help, saying "It reflects the frustration he [John Lennon] felt at that time. He was the idol of millions, but the freedom and fun of the early days had gone." John Lennon later said the line "A chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet" was an accurate indication of his feelings at the time."I'll Cry Instead" is rooted in country & western, a genre that the Beatles, and especially Ringo Starr, enjoyed playing.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-28T05:20:00.000-08:00

"I Should Have Known Better" is a song composed by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney), and originally released by The Beatles on the United Kingdom version of A Hard Day's Night, their soundtrack for the film of the same name.The song is performed in the train compartment scene of A Hard Day's Night. It was in fact filmed in a van, with crew members rocking the vehicle to fake the action of a train in motion.An orchestrated version of the song conducted by George Martin appears on the North American version of the album. The first recording session for the song was on 25 February 1964 at Abbey Road Studios when three takes were attempted, but only one was complete. Take 2 was aborted when Lennon broke into hysterics over his harmonica playing. In the US, "I Should Have Known Better" was released on 13 July 1964 as the B-side to "A Hard Day's Night" and reached No. 53 in the Billboard Top 100.

THINGS WE SAID TODAY ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-27T05:16:00.000-08:00

"Things We Said Today" is a song by The Beatles written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was composed for the film A Hard Day's Night and appears on the soundtrack album. It was also released as the B-side of the "A Hard Day's Night" single in the UK. McCartney wrote the song in May 1964 while cruising the Caribbean aboard a yacht called Happy Days with his then-girlfriend Jane Asher. The song is one of three main compositions (along with "And I Love Her" and "Can't Buy Me Love") that Paul McCartney wrote for the Beatles' film. The Beatles recorded "Things We Said Today" in three takes on 2 June 1964. Take one was a false start, take two was the rhythm track, and take three was used for overdubs of the main vocal, tambourine, and piano. The Beatles included "Things We Said Today" as part of their live set during their 1964 tour of the United States and Canada, although it was dropped afterwards. George Harrison sang harmony vocals alongside Paul McCartney during the performances.

I'm Busy and Short

2011-11-26T06:54:00.000-08:00

Finally, I have a new job however, i had to adjust myself since I am having a hard time with my new schedule. Unfortunately, i can hardly find time to update my blogs and I am so disappointed with what's happening right now. I'm going to be very busy this coming weeks because we will be deployed in the production floor starting next Monday so , meaning to say, we will be dealing with real customers and we will be handling real calls. It's going to be another stressing week indeed especially that I am currently adjusting with the situation.

I can't blog anything as of this moment not just because of my busy working schedule but due to other things as well. My computer is not working anymore so i had to visit an Internet cafe everyday to update and check my emails and blogs. It is very irritating but I can't do nothing about it. My motherboard got a serious problem and I had to buy a new CPU so that I can continue with my online work.

Right now, i really don't know where to start, my budget is not enough yet to purchase a brand new one since I am saving my money for the upcoming Holidays. I might consider taking Easy Personal Loans to cover the rest of my expenses for this month. Good thing, i never had a bad credit history and I always pay my bills and my debts on time so I am pretty sure that the lending company will approve my request immediately. Whew, what a relief!! I better apply now so that I can purchase the brand new CPU as early as possible. Don't you think it is more ideal to buy a laptop than CPU? Errr any suggestions guys?

Your House and Your Personality

2011-11-26T06:51:00.000-08:00

The appearance of a house reflects the personality of its owner. So if you are an organized person then most likely, your house will look the same as your behavior or personality. We can't deny the fact that there are some people who are very judgmental and we just can't please them especially if they found something wrong in our house. It is very hard to please other people indeed and if you really want to impress them, then why not make your house more attractive and more appealing. Keep in mind that it is not just about how authentic or rare your furniture or how expensive your appliances are. Sometimes, simplicity can be so much better. A simple yet neat and organized arrangement is good enough to please their eyes. A simple decorations will make a big difference. You can also change the color of your wall to add more excitement inside or outside the house.

We usually change the color of our walls at least twice a year. It feels like we moved to a new house because of the new aura that it provides. However, we have to consider the budget as well, because aside from the paint materials, we had to hire painters to do the job for use since none of us can paint the house as good as what these professional can do. I have heard about this so called Paint Zoom from my friends as they were buzzing about it on their blogs. It actually took my attention so I did some research. Paint Zoom is a actually a paint sprayer that will make will make your painting job a lot easier and you do not have to be very messy and there is no need for you to hire professional painter because Paint Zoom can do a professional-looking result for you with no ease. It is very ideal for someone like me who is looking for cheaper and practical ways of redecorating. If you guys are interested, you can visit http://paintzoomreview.us/ and see what else Paint Zoon has to offer.

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-26T05:11:00.000-08:00

"A Hard Day's Night" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. Written by John Lennon, and credited to Lennon–McCartney, it was released on the movie soundtrack of the same name in 1964. It was later released as a single, with "Things We Said Today" as its B-side.The song featured prominently on the soundtrack to The Beatles' first feature film, A Hard Day's Night, and was on their album of the same name. The song topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and United States when it was released as a single. Featuring a prominent and unique opening chord, the song's success demonstrated that The Beatles were not a one-hit wonder in the US. The American and British singles of "A Hard Day's Night" as well as both the American and British albums of the same title all held the top position in their respective charts for a couple of weeks in August 1964, the first time any artist had done this. "A Hard Day's Night" is immediately identifiable before the vocals even begin, thanks to George Harrison's unmistakable Rickenbacker 360/12 12-string guitar's "mighty opening chord". During the recording of "A Hard Days Night", Lennon and McCartney double track their vocals throughout including the chorus. Lennon sings the lead vocal on the verses and Paul sings lead on the middle eight. During the chorus McCartney handles the high harmony and Lennon the low harmony. Take 7 reveals that the lyrics were still not set with Lennon singing "you make me feel all right" and McCartney and Harrison still unsteady with their respective lines, ending with Lennon chiding them with the line "I heard a funny chord".

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-25T05:05:00.000-08:00

"Do You Want to Know a Secret" is a song by The Beatles from the 1963 album Please Please Me, sung by George Harrison.

The song reached the #1 position on Billboard in 1981 and #2 in the United Kingdom in a cover version by Stars on 45 as part of a medley."Do You Want to Know a Secret" was primarily written by John Lennon, but credited to Lennon/McCartney. The song was inspired by "I'm Wishing", a tune from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which Lennon's mother, Julia Lennon, would sing to him as a child. In 1980, Lennon said that he gave "Do You Want to Know a Secret" to Harrison to sing because "it only had three notes and he wasn't the best singer in the world", but added "he has improved a lot since then."The Beatles' version was never released as a single in the UK, where a cover version by Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas (released b/w "I'll Be on My Way", Parlophone R5023, 26 April 1963) reached number two in the Record Retailer chart, and hit number one in the NME chart

YOU CAN'T DO THAT ~ THE BEATLES

2011-11-24T05:00:00.000-08:00

"You Can't Do That" is a song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released by The Beatles as the B-side of their sixth British single "Can't Buy Me Love". One of Lennon's semi-autobiographical songs You Can't Do That "contradicted the genial tone with its tense threats, sexual paranoia and nagging, dragging groove" ... so wrote Robert Sandall. The song's jealousy theme was re-visited in other Lennon compositions, such as "Run for Your Life" and "Jealous Guy".It was the first song completed in the week before the Beatles began filming A Hard Day's Night, though "I Should Have Known Better" and "And I Love Her" were also started on the same day. The Beatles were filmed miming to "You Can't Do That" as part of the final concert sequence in the A Hard Day's Night film. The filming took place on 31 March 1964 at the Scala Theatre, London, but was not used. It was, however, broadcast on The Ed Sullivan Show on 24 May. The performance is included in the documentary The Making of "A Hard Day's Night". "You Can't Do That" was covered by Harry Nilsson for his debut album Pandemonium Shadow Show (1967). The Supremes covered the song on their 1964 album A Bit of Liverpool.

"Can't Buy Me Love" is a song composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released by The Beatles on the A-side of their sixth British single, "Can't Buy Me Love"/"You Can't Do That". When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song's "true" meaning, McCartney stated that "I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that 'Can't Buy Me Love' is about a prostitute, I draw the line." He went on to say: "The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well, but they won't buy me what I really want." While in Paris, The Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue. It was here that McCartney wrote "Can't Buy Me Love." The song was written under the pressure of the success achieved by "I Want to Hold Your Hand" which had just reached number one in America. The song also included some vocal harmonies in the background, which at the time became characteristic of the Beatles. After listening to the first take of the song, the band concluded that the song did not need them. Therefore, Can't Buy Me Love became the first single the Beatles released without their characteristic background harmonies.
