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.

Well it'll be a miracle if I come up with any more. I don't think I'll hear anything different if I listen to all my Beatles tracks again, so clearly the remaining tracks are in songs I don't have, or I really haven't listened to the songs I do have properly. Either way I'm out.

Good day guys.

 

As @Bambino pointed out, there are a few answers which I missed.

 

I have looked back through my sources are have found two more.

What`s more, I confess to having made a massive mistake. One of my sources lists the songs credited "Lennon/McCartney", from which I took the word RIVERS. This was in the song "I`ll Be On My Way", which although recorded by The Beatles was never officially released by them but was given to Billy J Kramer. My sincere apologies for this.

 

The revised list of songs still to be found [with notes of answers submitted for today, but won`t reveal if correct until 11pm tonight] including the extra ones I have found is:

 

DOG     [2 answers] = as on list

HONEY [1 answer] = answer submitted today by @Bambino 

SAND    [1 answer] = found by me today

SEA       [2 answers] = one answer submitted today by @Glory1 

TREE     [1 answer] = answers submitted today by @jonsie  and by @Cleoriff

WORM [1 answer] = found by me today 

 

RIVERS = incorrect: please delete from list of answers to be found.

 

Given that @jonsie has said he has two answers, and @Bambino has answers which were not on my list, there is still a chance that the missing answers will be found. So, this Challenge will remain open.

As I said, I will reveal the results for today`s entries at 11pm and you are all welcome to submit your next answer after midnight and up to 11pm tomorrow.

 

If you have any questions, or would like me to clarify any of this, please ask and I will reply.

Sorry again for any confusion or inconvenience caused.

Hi @Bambino 

I would suggest, if the others agree, that you submit one after midnight for tomorrow; and keep others back, so that as long as others want to continue you can keep giving answers.

If others all drop out and the Challenge closes, then I think that when I announce it had ended, that you post the missing answers which were not mentoned and I missed.

 

I would add that I appreciate and respect your knowledge of The Beatles and am grateful that you want to join in on these Challenges.

 

btw I hope that you will want to join in the next one, which again will be words in lyrics and I am giving everyone the choice between two subjects - Weather or Colours - and the one with most votes will be chosen for the next.

Thanks

M-Amigo
