9/10

a respectable and simple music video for an incredible song

If I was only rating the song, this would be an easy 10/10, but, I've decided to lower my rating slightly because I'd say the video it is accompanied with is deserving of a slightly lower rating, and the video is what I'm reviewing right now. The video is certainly very good and, in some ways, really matches the song. It's not much of a music video, it's really just edited footage of the band playing the song, but the overall mood and the black and white cinematography do fit the laxed mood of the song. It's extremely simplistic and isn't necessarily anything spectacular, but it fits the song perfectly well and by no means detracts from it. The song itself is, of course, a masterpiece as I have already expressed. It's the kind of song that would fit right in an album like 'Revolver', one of The Beatles' very best, somewhat psychedelic, very catchy but still injected with a great deal of real artistry. The entire construction of the song is brilliant, everything from Ringo's drums to Lennon's voice work together to make what may just be a perfect song.
