"Run For Your Life" (Rubber Soul)

Only The Beatles could make a song about threatening to kill your girlfriend if she cheats on you this much fun. John's great voice takes the lead and blends so perfectly with Paul's adventerous soaring falsetto during the chorus. the music is minimalist or simplistic depending on your point of view but it features an early instance of George Harrison on slide guitar (an instrument he would master as time went on) and their best serving of riff rock since "Daytripper". This song in the predecessor to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" in the vein of turning murder into a good time and from the bouncy acoustic strumming at the beginning to the na na na's at the end, you sure are in for one. But enough blabbering about it. It's one of those songs where it's hard to explain why it's so good. It just is. Ok?
