Review of Norwegian Wood Deconstructed

Lennon was probably in his Dylan mode at the time the song was written, although a bit removed from Hide Your Love Away. Capo on 2nd fret with the D chord becoming E, as compared to Dylan's E flat style. Use of the sitar is spacy, melodic, experimental. Thus, the song speaks more than the lyric, like a landscape behind the portrait. The broadcast piece was excellent, but one thinks the answer to the song questioned in the lyrics is in the music itself. We all shine on.
