1968 | "Hello Goodbye" is the title of a 1967 song by the legendary '60s rock band The Beatles. It is on the album Magical Mystery Tour, as well as in the film of the same name, and was also released as a single and topped the charts in both America and Britain. Though the song-writing credit is Lennon/McCartney, it was written by just Paul McCartney. Alistair Taylor, who worked for the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein, once asked McCartney how he wrote his songs, and McCartney took him into his dining room to give him a demonstration on his harmonium. He asked Taylor to shout the opposite of whatever he sang as he played the instrument. Taylor later said, "I wonder whether Paul really made up that song as he went along or whether it was running through his head already." In any case, McCartney soon had completed a demo of his newest single. The final lines of the song, where the entire band sings "Hela, hey, aloha," (the portion that plays over the end titles of the Magical Mystery Tour film) came spontaneously in the studio. When the song was released, McCartney gave a more mystical explanation of the meaning of his song in an interview with Disc: "The answer to everything is simple. It's a song about everything and nothing. If you have black you have to have white. That's the amazing thing about life." References Turner, Steve.
