3/19/2024 0 Comments Shes gotta a ticket to ride songAt least this is my interpetation of the lyrics. This was the brilliance of the Beatles and the lyrics of John and Paul. He wants her to do right by him and her because she is pregnant. He is sad because she is going away and there is not much a poor working class lad can do. This song was told from the eyes of her young lover. Some do not ever remember who wrote what on many of the songs. After all, the exigencies of meter and rhythm could have been satisfied with 'Shes got a ticket to ride, but she cares not.' Perhaps Ill start a campaign to correct all the poor English in rocknroll, while preserving rhyme and meter. (Read the lyrics.) Again all of this is up to interpitation and the Beatles themselves have given contradictory stories about many of the songs. I believe the Beatles were trying to sound American. When a young woman became pregnant she would be sent away to different towns in the country. Rmember there was a strick class system in England. She A said that Asus4 living with A me is Asus4 bringing her A down, yeah. Fm Shes got a ticket to E ride, and she dont A care. Fm Shes got a ticket to D ride, Fm shes got a ticket to G ride. It was said that many families had their own dirty little secrets that they wanted to keep private and some of those secrets were schunned away to keep a respectable family name. I A think Im Asus4 gonna be A sad, I Asus4 think its to A day, yeah. This goes back to the Victorian era but it was also that of the era of World War Two right around when the lads from Liverpool were born. However my favorite meaning places the song where it really belongs in a melancholy tone. McCartney was quoted as saying it was a “British Railway ticket to the town of Ryde on the Isle of Wright.” Apparently Paul had a cousin who ran a bar there.Īnother meaning was that while in Hamburg Germany the prositutes would have a card with them that was a clean bill of health which gave the person looking to have some company a “ticket to ride.” Paul McCartney has stated that the song “ Ticket To Ride” was inspired by a trip he and John Lennon took by train to the town Ryde on the Isle Of Wight in the 1960’s. Ticket to Ride is another example of a song not just with a double meaning but multiple meanings.
