Speaking of which, I just now happened to listen to Strawberry Fields Forever, a it struck me that the backwards bit at the end sounds awfully like the train at the end of Pet Sounds.
Most Beatles songs have bits when I think "that sounds like Brian Wilson" (e.g. the key change in the fade-out of Good Day Sunshine)

Yes, now that it`s pointed out to me, I can see the broad similarity between
YSBIM,
I`m Only Sleeping and
Here There and Everywhere. Thanks for pointing that out. Finer musical points, like key changes, are beyond me, I`m afraid!

^ Or how about best song-writer, Brian Wilson vs Ringo Starr?
