Everything you need to know about The Beatles' "Your Mother Should Know." |

While most writers or commentators are eager to dismiss “Your Mother Should Know” as just another campy nostalgic trip to a bygone era that Paul liked to indulge in, upon inspection we can see that, in this instance, The Beatles watered down the instrumentation (no clarinets as in “When I’m Sixty-Four”) and added some unprecedented structuring (the half-tempo instrumental bridge is uncharacteristic to music of that era) to create a sing-a-long song that fits well into the group’s catalog. One could even say that it resembles “With A Little Help From My Friends” to a greater degree than it does Paul’s throw-back compositions, such as “Honey Pie.”

Paul reveals, ????️ "I’ve always hated generation gaps. I always feel sorry for a parent or a child who doesn’t understand each other, and many of our fans would have been beginning to think that their parents were just a bunch of old fuddy-duddies who had no idea about anything. So I was advocating peace between the generations. In Your Mother Should Know, I was basically trying to say your mother might know more than you think she does. Give her credit."
