Don't Pass Me By by The Beatles
“Ringo Starr's first recorded composition was written several years before its 1968 release on the White Album. "I wrote Don't Pass Me By when I was sitting round at home. I only play three chords on the guitar and three on the piano. I was fiddling with the piano - I just bang away - and then if a melody comes and some words, I just have to keep going. That's how it happened: I was just sitting at home alone and Don't Pass Me By arrived. We played it with a country attitude. It was great to get my first song down, one that I had written. It was a very exciting time for me and everyone was really helpful, and recording that crazy violinist was a thrilling moment." Ringo Starr”

In a Beatles' kind of mood.
Ringo's coming to town!!! :D
My friends hate this song and i LOVE it, does that make them stupid or me? The odds favour the latter.
