  Because

The Beatles seem to have taken their superb vocal harmony skills for granted. Of 200 tracks only three songs really showcase their three part harmony vocals. This Boy and its follow-up Yes It Is were early examples. Because was the last new song Lennon presented the group and best represents the Beatles in harmony.

This short series examines Because and the Moonlight Sonata, the Beethoven piece which inspired it.
