"Girl" is a song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and performed by the Beatles on their 1965 album ''Rubber Soul''. "Girl" was the last complete song recorded for that album. ==History== "Girl" was probably one of the most melancholic and complex of the Beatles' earlier love songs. The song's instrumentalization has specific similarities to Greek music; similar to "And I Love Her" and "Michelle". Lennon and George Harrison played acoustic guitars on the basic track and in addition, Harrison overdubbed the acoustic 12-string. McCartney claimed that he contributed the lines "''Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure''" and "''That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure''." However, in a 1970 interview with ''Rolling Stone'', John Lennon explained that he wrote these lines as a comment on Christianity which he was "opposed to at the time". Lennon said: "I was just talking about Christianity, in that - a thing like you have to be tortured to attain heaven. () - be tortured and then it'll be alright, which seems to be a bit true but not in their concept of it. But I didn't believe in that, that you have to be tortured to attain anything, it just so happens that you were."〔http://www.beatlesbible.com/people/john-lennon/songs/god/〕 McCartney also stated that the song's backing vocals were influenced by a recent work by the Beach Boys, which was likely to have been their July 1965 single "You're So Good to Me". Accordingly: Lennon said that the fantasy girl in the song's lyric was an archetype he had been searching for his entire life ("There is no such thing as the girl — she was a dream") and finally found in Yoko Ono. In an interview for ''Rolling Stone'' magazine on 5 December 1980, Lennon said his 1980 song "Woman": In November 1977, Capitol Records scheduled the United States release of "Girl" backed with "You're Going to Lose That Girl" as a single (Capitol 4506) to accompany the release of ''Love Songs'', a Beatles' compilation album that contains both of these songs. However, the single was cancelled before it was issued. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girl (Beatles song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
