| | Notes on "Penny Lane" (PL) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Paul's last "Penny Lane" vocal lick is executed in hard syncopation against the final downbeat, and is followed by a suspenseful few seconds before the cymbal crescendo finishes up for good. |
 | | - "Penny Lane" is dominated, both in music and words, by a type of blue-skied charm that nicely sets a foil for the "SFF" flip-side of the single, but in terms of "Penny Lane" per se, could easily over-do if not undo itself entirely. |
 | | No matter how much more realistic "Penny Lane" is in language and imagery, compared to "Strawberry Fields Forever," you might say the two songs share this impressionistic, entirely subjective point of view. |
