The 1st layer is about Julia leaving her son in order "to be free of him". In fact they are all mentioned already, but not yet "linked". But in the case of Ticket to Ride the lyrics had multi-layered meaning for him self too. Barry from Amsterdam, NetherlandsEsspecially John was all about art, therefore the lyrics can mean different things for different people per definition.The two meanings are confluent and strengthen each other in a dramatic way. could have a late abortion in Ride is not a separate isolated meaning but confirming/emphasizing the first meaning of the lyrics in a dramatic way. Barry from Amsterdam, NetherlandsThe second layer underneath the first layer is, that mother Julia leaving John at her sister's place "so that she can be free and live the life she wants" in a way is comparable with an abortion: the mother not wanting her child.She (his girlfriend) didn't care when she had "a ticket to ride" but John did, because he already felt sad just thinking of it. John was in love with one of the "birds" in Hamburg and he really had a crush on her but at the same time she was "riding high" as an escort girl regurlarly pleasing high society clients. Barry from Amsterdam, NetherlandsThe third meaning of the text can best be explained by later great popsongs that elaborated on the same theme: "Roxanne" of The Police and "Who is it" of Michael Jackson.As someone pointed out it is a song with a happy melody but sad lyrics. I don't know about Mozart, I always thought Beethoven was darker and more "Metal" but he came on the scene after Mozart and I don't really listen to anough classical to make that judgement anyway! Peace! I'm playing to.Īs for the first heavy metal song, I have to agree with the guy who said the Kinks did it with "You Really Got Me" (1964) that Ray Daives got that distorted sound from slashing his speakers with razors. Once I get my drums set up again and start playing, I'm really gonna think more about what I play and how it fits the song. I would have never thought in a million years to put that drum pattern under those riffs and melodies, I'm more about doing a million fills and beating the sh!t out of the kit.
