The Long and Winding Road – Simon Weitzman

Send us Fan Mail Tim is joined by British filmmaker and author Simon Weitzman to explore The Long and Winding Road. They discuss Simon’s earliest Beatles memories, the emotional pull of the song, its complex chord structure, Paul’s inspirations, and the contrasting recordings – from Phil Spector’s sweeping orchestral version to the intimate 'Let It Be… Naked' take. Simon also shares personal stories connected to the track and reflects on his own Beatles-related film work, including Love Letters to the Beatles.
