You say you will love me
If I have to go
You'll be thinking of me
Somehow I will know
Someday when I'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
Till the end of time
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
Deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on

Mental how consistently good they were.

Seriously, if Quincy Jones actually said all that stupid shit, then he is the biggest asshole in the music world...and if he didn't, why was he quoted as saying it hmmm? Quincy, you really are a jerk.
yeah - the old best days in music and more

Quincy came from jazz so he may have been dismissive of pop/rock.
Great producer but beyond "Killer Joe", what else did he write? Maybe he was jealous about how prolific the Beatles were with their high quality songwriting. Two of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century and the 3rd guy would have been the main songwriter in almost any other band.

I could hear the Yarbirds doing this, most excellent!

The Beatles were terrible musicians.
“They were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherf—ers. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about it. I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song. He couldn’t get it. We said, ‘Mate, why don’t you get some lager and lime, some shepherd’s pie, and take an hour-and-a-half and relax a little bit.’ So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, ‘George, can you play it back for me one more time?’ So George did, and Ringo says, ‘That didn’t sound so bad.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, motherf—er because it ain’t you.’ Great guy, though.

Like.......wow!

Maybe it's true that separately the Fabs were not Juilliard geniuses (except that Lennon and McCartney each played several instruments), I don't know, but together their blend seems to tell a very different story. It's highly unlikely they would ever have become stellar tunesmiths and melody masters with low-end musical talent.
Maybe Quincy was just having a bad day

Play this more Bill!
Ringo is a very good drummer. I am a drummer. And his style is very personal and endless when you lesson well the beat and brake
I recall Steven Wilson once saying that he was not that fond of the Beatles. Porcupine Tree's Time Flies is playing as I type this.
Yet, I find myself thinking of the Beatles constantly when listening Porcupine Tree's Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun albums.

It's the bloody Beatles... it doesn't make their music sound less good and nobody puts on Rubber Soul to hear a polyrhythmic drum solo from Ringo
1964?! Wow.

I don't think this is an attack on the Beatles. I've heard the same thing from many musicians. However, none of them could craft a tune of such enduring appeal. I liked the Beatles. All my adult children Millenials, Gen Z and Zoomers like the Beatles. I can appreciate that there existed and exists still better musicians, together or separately, than the Beatles. They should go write Helter Skelter.

For me, there is a hard stop between the early and late Beatles. I don't really tolerate the early stuff, myself.

Don't want to dis the iconic Beatles, but this song is uninspiring.

Save Us
Can't Buy Me Love
Letting Go
Temporary Secretary
Let Me Roll It (with 'Foxy Lady' outro)
I've Got a Feeling
My Valentine
Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five
Here, There and Everywhere

On acoustic guitar:
We Can Work It Out
In Spite of All the Danger

You Won't See Me
Love Me Do
And I Love Her
Blackbird
Here Today
Electric Set Pt. 2:
Queenie Eye
New
The Fool on the Hill
Lady Madonna
FourFiveSeconds
Eleanor Rigby
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
(Lennon tribute)
Something
(Harrison tribute)
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Band on the Run
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Let It Be
Live and Let Die
Hey Jude
Encore:
Yesterday
Hi, Hi, Hi
Birthday
Golden Slumbers
Carry That Weight
The End
Loved the Beatles. Hate to say this, but I am over them.
So simple and so outstanding
I always thought this was a McCartney's song in his solo career! Not surpriosingly the Beatles original version that I now hear for the first time sounds way better :-)

Just the other day I thought how rarely the earlier Beatles are played on RP. Almost forgot how they sound.
...... such a great song taken from an album often overlooked from the band. Must be "Godlike" for song and album raga wrote:

This song was the first time I understood that an acoustic guitar could be amplified (John's Gibson J-160E I think) and introduce a different brand of dynamics into a song. Yes, Elvis played an acoustic guitar, as did Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers, but I don't recall that they were amplified or played a prominent role in the production's instrumentation or sound. Okay, even if I was behind the curve, "Things We Said Today" was a revelation.
Lovely.
Love this early Beatles stuff.
everything I love about the Beatles can pretty much be found in this song. sweeet

Yes, WOW! That was nice!
Different from the version I remember. Must have been off a different (later) album?
This one has a really nice innocence to it, somehow, the way it's arranged and instrumented.
