And there's a harmonium on the track

Getting back home late, reading the tweets of despair from someone I follow but have never interacted with, and this song popped into my head.

Everybody else (in the U.S., anyway) is thinking about another George Harrison song today - "Taxman" - but this jangly song from the previous year shows how the Beatles could reproduce any contemporary pop sound - in this case the Byrds - and make it their own.

I haven't actually heard this song in years and years, but it's still stuck in my head. I'll have to find it on last.fm.
