« back to classes page
ClassGraphic The Beatles’ later catalog from 1965 to 1970 reveals a dramatic expansion in lyrical depth, musical experimentation, and artistic ambition. Building on their earlier foundations, John Lennon and Paul McCartney moved beyond traditional song structures into more introspective, abstract, and socially aware writing. Explore how their lyrics evolved in the changing cultural landscape of the late 1960s. Uncover the stories and inspirations behind landmark songs such as “In My Life,” “Tomorrow Never Knows,” “A Day in the Life,” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” through listening and discussion. Part 1 is not a prerequisite.
