"WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR - excrutiating ..."

Oh man, we are on the same page. Even worse for me is She's Leaving Home, another schmaltzy McCartney original. I'm generally an LP guy, but when I listen to Pepper via CD I frequently hit the "skip" button for one or both of those.

Maybe I need to rethink my stance that Pepper is my favorite album. She's Leaving has the single dumbest line I think they ever wrote, which is, "Fun is the one thing that money can't buy". Really? The hedonistic Beatles felt that fun can't be bought? Love, I'll agree with...But fun? I've bought a lot of fun in my day.

Back to Within You, Without You, I'm with you regarding the tabla. The percussion reminds me of a human heartbeat, which, given the nature of the song, may have been what George was going for. Have you heard the instrumental version off their Anthology 2 album? If not, it's well worth checking out. I checked youtube, and was going to embed it here, but it's been taken off (again) due to copyright issues, etc, etc.
