Nature in Lyrics Challenge

Welcome to the fourth in the series of Challenges.

 

Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.

                                                               NATURE IN LYRICS CHALLENGE

Below is an alphabetical list of nature-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.

The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.

 

Hints/clues:

Some words appear in more than one song. In these cases, the number of songs in which the word appears is shown in [x].

Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.

No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.

 

Rules:

Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers.

You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.

Entries for Saturday 13 April, and each subsequent night, can be posted between 11pm and midnight. Results, with the number of answers for each word still to be found, will then be posted.

 

 

The list of nature-related words appears in a separate post below:

 

Good luck.

Oh, it was still on last night's list of unfound words.......


That's because there are TWO songs with Strawberry in. This is why I think Mi-Amigo should update us with songs found, otherwise we will forever be scrolling back the longer the quiz goes on...

To save people scrolling back, I think you need to update 'the grid' of found songs periodically.

Otherwise we will all be falling into the trap of repeating those already said ...when there is more than one song.

Sorry, I know it's more time consuming for you but I think it will become unworkable otherwise? I mean the word Honey features in 6 songs....Confused


A very good point @Cleoriff 

To rectify this, what I propose doing later today is post a list of found words and in which song up to the results given last night.

Tonight, and each subsequent night, I will post the results, followed by a separate post of all found words and in which song[s], and then a separate post of the words still to be found.

I hope that will make things easier for everybody.

 

Thank you.

Good idea.

Currently this quiz is a bit like the Wordsearches in that we need the 'grid' updating constantly so we don't repeat those found. More work for you but saves us scrolling back to the first page and working through to check if our option has already been mentioned nerd

Thanks @Cleoriff and @Mi-Amigo  because, in spite of ticking answers off my list (yes I have a list, a long list!) I've also scrolled back through the pages to double check too. Painful, and we've loads to go Fear

I expect @Anonymous  will now be in bed @Mi-Amigo  and @pgn has only posted twice today and is now offline?
