Episode 9 She’s Leaving Home - Origins Of A Masterpiece Part 1
We explore the origins of Paul McCartney’s song She’s Leaving Home and John Lennon’s contributions. Our investigation uncovers the connections to Brian Wilson’s song, God Only Knows. More than this, we explore the hurling of great, songwriting thunderbolts across the Atlantic Ocean in a grand competition between Paul and Brian Wilson.
