Unlike other artists of the time whose songs were still along the lines of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," The Beatles began focusing on the darker side of life. Instead of "Love me do," it was ''I'd rather see you dead little girl"; instead of "When I get home tonight/ I'm gonna hold her tight" ("When I Get Home") it was about burning down homes ("Norwegian Wood"). Yet for all the darkness, there was also sheer beauty in such songs as "Michelle" and "In My Life." The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson rightfully suffered a nervous breakdown after hearing this album.
