Love You To
Beatles · Yellow Submarine (1999 Reissue)
I turn around, it's past
You don't get time to hang a sign on me
Love me while you can
Before I'm a dead old man
A life time is so short
A new one can't be bought
But what you've got means such a lot to me
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
There's people standing round
Who'll screw you in the ground
They'll fill you in with all their sins, you'll see
I'll make love to you
If you want me to
Love You To
Released in 1964 as part of the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, 'Love You To' stands as a pivotal example of The Beatles' early exploration of Indian classical music. The track features a distinctive sitar performance by Ravi Shankar, marking one of the band's first significant forays into non-Western instrumentation. This recording was originally intended for the film *Yellow Submarine*, though it was later reissued in 1999 on a special edition of the soundtrack album. The song's unique fusion of rock rhythms with Eastern melodic structures influenced the development of psychedelic rock and expanded the sonic palette available to the band during their early years. It remains a celebrated piece of studio experimentation that bridged cultural musical traditions.
