"I Want You (She's So Heavy)", on the other hand, I found kind of directionless, but even though I don't think it's particularly satisfying overall, I really like the last three minutes or so of the song. It almost sounds like some kind of proto doom metal to my ears, which was surprising but very cool.
The end of She's So Heavy is what it's all about. I wanted to show you this video because it really added a new dimension to the song, whether the Beatles ever intended this meaning is up for debate...See if this does anything for you:



Also did you catch the Maxwell's animated video I posted in this thread the other day? I think it's at the bottom of page one or two...
