Every Song In The Beatles Get Back

The Beatles: Get Back features an extremely complex soundtrack that takes the viewers through The Beatles’ last two albums, Abbey Road and Let It Be, as well as through the band’s last year together, during which growing tensions went hand-in-hand with more playful moments. For his three-part docuseries, Lord Of The Rings’ Peter Jackson used old footage, initially recorded by Michael Lindsay-Hogg for his 1970 Let It Be documentary. Jackson wanted to reuse this footage to give a more upbeat interpretation of The Beatles’ last months.

The Beatles are regarded as the most influential band to date. Within a single decade, they explored dozens of styles and instruments and created sounds that inspired musicians of every genre and generation. Perhaps the most valuable part of The Beatles: Get Back is the opportunity the viewers get to listen to John, Paul, George, and Ringo writing their songs. They often start as ramblings, continue with John or Paul finding funny lyrics for the tune, then end with a more serious process of deciding on the rhythm, the lyrics, and the solos.

The Disney+ series’ soundtrack includes primarily songs from The Beatles’ last two albums (which were both recorded during early 1969), as well as older Beatles songs, and even covers from composers like Chuck Berry or Bob Dylan.
