Hold Me Tight – The Beatles

That was Paul’s. Maybe I stuck some bits in there… I really don’t remember. It was a pretty poor song and I was never really interested in it either way.

ポールの曲だ。僕も少し手伝ったかもしれないけど…覚えてない。本当につまんない曲でね。どっちにしても全然興味がなかったよ。

I can’t remember much about that one. Certain songs were just ‘work’ songs… you haven’t got much of a memory of them. That’s one of them. You just knew you had a song that would work, a good melody. ‘Hold Me Tight’ never really had that much of an effect on me. It was a bit Shirelles.

その曲のことはよく覚えてないな。単なる「仕事」で書いたような曲はあまり記憶に残らないんだ。これもそんな曲のひとつだね。「ホールド・ミー・タイト」は僕にとって大事な曲じゃなかった。ちょっとシュレルズっぽいかな。

‘Hold Me Tight’ was a failed attempt at a single which then became acceptable album filler.

「ホールド・ミー・タイト」は失敗作さ。アルバムの曲数稼ぎにしかならなかった。
