Hello, Goodbye – Simon Love

Send us Fan Mail Tim is joined by singer-songwriter Simon Love to explore Hello, Goodbye. They examine its bright, deceptively simple pop construction, inventive chord changes, and vital place within the Beatles’ prolific psychedelic period of 1967. The conversation dives into the musical detail of Hello, Goodbye, including its unusual harmonic shifts, groove-led feel, and Ringo’s distinctive drumming. They also touch on the song’s recording process, promotional film, and its role as a commercial counterpoint to I Am the Walrus. Along the way, Simon recounts brushes with Beatles-world figures, seeing Paul McCartney live with his son, and recording at Abbey Road.
