Yay! Back to Beatles again, after sometimes (of not joining MM and not do Fab Four covers). Hmm, since MM is already on the roll, I won’t blabber much about the song.
Upon the release, the band were not sure in what form they should put this song. As a single? As a B-side? Or elese? So, they ended up “donating” the song to World Wildlife Fund for a charity album, No One's Gonna Change Our World (1969). But later this song reissued again in their Let It Be album.
One more thing, it seems that a lot of version of this song are out there. Each with its own musical ornaments and variation. But I found this one quite interesting and according to one of the viewers on YouTube, the one I choose “is from takes 1 - 7, Fe.'68 and features 'backwards' sitars/guitars.”

What makes Fiona Apple’s version so great is her great work in “lazying” the song. I mean, listen to the way she sings, the instrumentation, and the beat that goes with the song. It’s a beautiful idle version, yet it doesn’t necessarily mean that this song is lethargic. Nope, her version has its own version of energy, and emotion, and all.
