HELP!
by BEATLES

Recorded in April 1965 at Abbey Road Studios, Help! was the title track to The Beatles' fifth album and second film 'Help!'. The follow-up single to the chart-topping Ticket To Ride, Help! toppled The Byrd's Mr Tambourine Man in August of that year to become the band's eighth UK Number 1 hit.

Written by John Lennon as, wouldn't you know it, a cry for help after The Beatles' sudden and life-changing spiral into world-conquering superstardom. Looking back on this time, Lennon would say in the '70s that he considered Help! and Strawberry Fields Forever to be his most 'honest' compositions for the Beatles, and Help! is looked on now as the first crack in his protective armour around his feelings as The Beatles quickly became the biggest band in the world.
