(“i want you (she’s so heavy)” is a song by ‘the beatles’, written by john lennon, (credited to “lennon–mccartney”))
(the song closes ‘side 1′ on the beatles’ 1969 album “abbey road”)
(this song is an unusual beatles composition for a variety of reasons, namely its length (nearly eight minutes), few lyrics (the title makes up most of the lyrics, aside from two more phrases; only 14 different words are sung), a three-minute descent through repeated guitar chords (a similar arpeggiated figure appears in another lennon contribution to the album, “because”), and abrupt ending)
(it was the first song recorded for the abbey road album but one of the last songs that the beatles mixed as a group, on 20 august 1969)
(josh hart and damien fanelli, writing for guitar world, placed the song 34th in their list of the “50 heaviest songs before black sabbath”, and said the song “might have inadvertently started doom metal”)
(similarly, classic rock magazine commented that the song pre-dated “black sabbath’s creation of doom rock by several months”)
