Old Brown Shoe

"Old Brown Shoe" is a song written by George Harrison that was first released by the Beatles as a B-side to "The Ballad of John and Yoko". It is also available on the Beatles' compilation albums ''Hey Jude'', ''1967–1970'' and ''Past Masters, Volume Two''.
==Composition and musical structure==
Harrison commented about this song: "I started the chord sequences on the piano, which I don't really play, and then began writing ideas for the words from various opposites … Again, it's the duality of things – yes no, up down, left right, right wrong, etc." This idea was also prevalent in the Beatles' earlier single "Hello, Goodbye".
The song is in the key of C major. The chorus goes to the subdominant chord (F) ("I'm stepping out this old brown shoe"), and cadences on the submediant (Am) via its secondary dominant (E).〔Dominic Pedler. Songwriting Secrets of the Beatles Omnibus Press London 2003, pp327-328.〕〔Alan W Pollack. Notes on Old Brown Shoe 1999. http://www.recmusicbeatles.com/public/files/awp/obs.html accessed 10 Jan 2012〕 Everett considers that this "C/Am" duality fits well "with the composer's main concern in the poetic text" ("I want a love that's right but right is only half of what's wrong").〔Walter Everett. The Beatles as Musicians: Revolver Through the Anthology. Oxford University Press. NY. 1999. p 244〕 Pollack also emphasises the song's interesting flat VI (Ab) chord in the verse, the V-IV (G-F chord) alternation in the bridge and the "bluesy" effect of the frequent flat 3rd and 7th notes alongside the I7 (C7) chords.〔Alan W Pollack. Notes on Old Brown Shoe 1999. http://www.recmusicbeatles.com/public/files/awp/obs.html accessed 10 Jan 2012〕 Everett considers that the voice leading and harmony on "Old Brown Shoe" are "far more subtle and interesting" than such qualities in the song ("The Ballad of John and Yoko") on the A-side of the single.〔Walter Everett. The Beatles as Musicians: Revolver Through the Anthology. Oxford University Press. NY. 1999. p 243〕 Pedler terms the song "highly underrated" and featuring "some typically inspired Harrison-esque sleight-of-hand, courtesy again of the augmented chord".〔Dominic Pedler. Songwriting Secrets of the Beatles Omnibus Press London 2003, p327.〕
