Probably the finest Lennon song from 1963. The middle eight is incredible.
Love the early stuff, great harmonies
I still get tingles down the spine hearing John Lennon sing the bridge on "This Boy".

For drum lesson
"It was very co-written. We wanted to do a close-harmony thing, we liked harmonies and we were quite good at them. We used to do a close-harmony version of the Teddy Bears' To Know Her Is To Love Her, which was good for the versatility in the band. We weren't all rock 'n' roll, we could change the pace, which was always nice after you'd played for three hours. We wrote it in two-part harmony and then put the third part in for George to sing; we'd never actually tried to write something like that. Nice middle, John sang that great, then we'd go back into the close-harmony thing."

I love when a song tonally and lyrically describe perfectly a season of your life, or a moment. That is the case for this boy right now.
