The End Lyrics


Lennon/McCartney




Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.

Anomalies

0:29,0:31
Someone counts "6," "7" counting the measures of the drum solo.
1:44 * NEW *
No bass guitar after the "and in the end" part. Intended?

The line "In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make" is essentially the Beatles closing statement. It is the last lyric on the last album they recorded. Let It Be was the last album they released, but it was recorded earlier.
This contains the only drum solo Ringo ever performed. He hates solos and had to be persuaded to do it.
Lennon, McCartney and Harrison took turns doing guitar solos. Each had a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities.
"Love You" is repeated 24 times.
This starts over the end of "Carry That Weight." It is the last song in a suite at the end of Abbey Road.
This ends with a 30 piece orchestra.
When Paul McCartney was on Saturday Night Live, he did the skit "Chris Farley's Talk Show," in which Chris was really nervous to be talking to a Beatle, and you can see it from his disheveled look, sweat, and stuttering. One funny part is when Chris asks, "Do you remember when you said 'in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make?'" To which Paul responds "yes" in such a serious, and slightly irritated, way that you can't help but laugh. (thanks, Natasha - Chico, CA)
